All You Need Is Love - a CAS card


A CAS card I made inspired by two challenges: 

CAS Colours & Sketches - colors: 


Freshly Made Sketches - sketch: 


I stamped the envelope in pink and lavender, and the sentiment in red. I then mounted the white cs panel on a lavender basis.

An elegant birthday card


 The current challenge at Color Throwdown brings a very elegant combination - white, black and gold/silver:


This card was made only with dies. I used the spiral die with gold cardstock, and again with a black one. The gold die cut was matted with the black one, in a way that creates kind of a shaddow. 

The same wad done with the 'happy birthday' die, only this time I die cut the sentiment 3 times in gold, and matted it with one layer of the black one.


I added 3 gold sequins for more sparkle, and it also goes for the 'sparkle' challenge at The Paper Players:


The 3rd challenge I would like to enter this card is from Inspire.Create.challenges, with the theme of  'Birthday':

It was brought to my attention, by a virtual friend, that it can also go for the January challenge at Archi-Scraps:
The color combo, along with the motif on the door, wouldn't you say it fits?

Happy Birthday, with a glass of martini, please


Happy New Year to all! may 2022 be a year of health and returning to normal life, without Covid-19 around...

Somehow, I never have enough masculine birthday cards, and I usually find out about it the last minute I really need one!

So to avoid shortage, I decided to make a nice supply of masculine birthday cards.

I went on a cool palette of colors, wintery one, and to cool it even further more - I added a glass of martini... :), isn't that cool?

This martini stamp is from a very old stamp set I have, I even don't remember since when, but I never used the martini one, so it's kind of a new one.


I would like to enter this card to the following challenges:

Just Us Girls - beverage:


Global Design Project - celebration:


Time Out challenges - new.

A monochromatic Happy Birthday card, in green

 


A good way to keep your card CAS, is making it monochromatic, and one layerd.

For this card I used only one stamp and one ink pad, and yet I was able to create a scene, with depth and an angle.

To do so, I stamped the tree stamp in diagonal, once with the stamp full of ink, and right again without loading more ink. This way not only I have trees 'far away in the back', but also in an angle, as if there's a small hill.

The whole stmamping was on one layer white panel, and then I adhered it to a green cs basis.

It can make a great masculine birthday card, don't you think?

I would like to enter it for the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches;

'Celebration' challenge at Global Design Project:


And the 'New' challenge at TimeOut challenge, a
s this tree stamp is a new one for me.

Another dream card with flowers - Follow Your Dreams


When I made THIS card, I stamped and die cut more elements than I used, so with what was left, I made another card, same flowers and leaves, same colors and same theme of 'Dream', but a different design and a different message - Follow Your Dreams.

Again I would like to enter it to the mini challenge at More Than Words, to use the word Dream on a card, tag or ATC:


It also goes to the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Best Day Ever! - a cas card

 


Another CAS and monochromatic card, this time brown shades.

I was inspired by the color combination at Inspire Create Challenges:


I don't have the exact colors, so I dived into my stash and looked for colors as much as possible close to these colors.

The flower background in dark brown, and the flower from the same cs as the casis - a grayish beige.

I stamped the sentiment in caramel color,and added some glittery enamel dots in a matching color.

I hope it qualifies for the challenge. What do you think?


Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much!

Happy Holidays!

Dream without fear - MTW mini challenge

 


More Than Words has a mini challenge, creating a card, a tag, and ATC of a postcard, and they asked to use the word 'Dream':


Such a great challenge towards the new year, don't you think?

For my card, I stamped the florals and the leaves (Stampin' Up In Symmetry) in blue, orange, yellow and gray. I then assembled them in the left bottom of the white cs basis, added the stamed sentiment (Finnabair for Prima), and some glittery navy blue enamel dots.

It also goes for the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches.


I wish all who celebrate Christmas, a very Mery Christmas and a happy holidays!

White on white cas card

 


A Top Cup at Sunday Stamps



Happy Saturday dear crafty friends!

Making a 'white on white' project can be very challenging, isn't it? embossing (cold or heated), dies, vellum, twine, enamel dots and dimentionals helped me make this 'white on white' card.

I'm not sure yet to what occasion I'll be using this card, wedding/ birthday/ anniversary, so I left it without a sentiment.

I would like to enter this card to the following challenges:

Sunday Stamps - sketch:


Double D challenges - 'lots of white':


Inkspirational challenges - photo inspiration:

A Happy Birthday card with plentyful plants

 


Happy Friday!

Today I'd like to share with you a Happy Birthday card I've made using Stampin' Up Plentyful Plants stamps and dies.

On a shimmering pearl cs I used a brick stencil, with gray ink, and then stamped the sentiment. I stamped and die cut the pots, in red, and leaves, in green,  and aranged them on the panel. I added a few ename dots in pink. I adhered tha panel to a green cs basis.

I'd like to enter this card to the following challenges:

Color Throwdown #673 - pink, red and green:

Such a beautiful photo for inspiration!

Freshly Made Sketches #516:


I loved the overlapping elements.

Addicted to Stamps and More #420: die cuts and/or stencil (I used them both):
