AAA Cards - Game 322

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards. We have a theme for you, back to the 70s and 80s.

I had another set I was going to use with an Etch a Sketch but I could not find it so a cassette tape is the next best thing I could find that reminded me ot the 70s or 80s.

The cassette tape is a die set by Concord & 9th and the swirly stencil was in my stencil box but I am pretty sure it's by Dare 2B Artzy. 

AAA 321 - One plus One

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards. its one of our newer games, one plus one. You take the prompt from the center circle  and one or more more from the outside circes to use on your project. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel.  I used a goat from Ink Blot Shop because goats are on a farm and then my prompt for the outside circles is flowers.

S is For...

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards Challenge. Gae 320 is an alphabet game, S is for...

Because of being in full holiday card making mode ( I just finished making a Christmas card a day during the month of July) I decided that S is for Snow/Snowman.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel cut to the same size. I created a little background in the right bottom corner and then stamped, colored, and cut out this cute snowman by Dare 2B Artzy and placed him in it. To finish the card, I added a greeting. 

AAA Game 319 - A Color Challenge

A new game starts today and its a color challenge. I bet you didn't expect a Christmas card with these colors huh? As you know I am participating in a the Christmas in July hop over on Instagram where you post a Christmas card each day using a theme. Today's theme is Trim the Tree so I am killing two birds with one stone. I had to make a bunch of cards in advance because I am actually on a mission trip right now so I pray all these scheduled posts are actually posting. 

Now to the deets of my card.  I started with a white top folding A2 card base and white panel for the image. I stamped the tree, colored it using the coordinating stencils and cut it out with the die. The sentiment is from The Ton Stamps.

His Mercies

Today starts a new challenge at AA A Cards. It's time to follow Marlies. Her sample is below 

For my card I flipped my base to a vertical base and went along the side with a floral image from Tim Holtz. I added a encouraging sentiment as this one is going to a friend who is going through a rough time. 

AAA Cards 317 - A Sketch

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards. Game 317 is a sketch challenge which I love seeing the different takes on it.

High Tide

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards. Game 316 is a 1+1 challenge and this is how you play. Use one of the outer circles with the inner circle which is summer. For my card, I used Beach. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel for the image. I stamped the mermaid, colored her using OLO markers and then cut her out with the coordinating die. I created the "beach"  by ink blending some Salty Ocean at the bottom of the card.
