CASology Week 14

Hi everyone, the CASology challenge this week is LEAF but if you don't have a leaf stamp, you can use something else. Maybe "leaf" makes you think of flowers, spring, growth, nature, birds, etc.

For this card, I used a shrub stamp by Hero Arts, other stamps by Hobby Art.

Here is another one I made by embossing some kraft card with a dotty folder, leaf stamp by Hot Off The Press, word stamp by Hobby Art.

Thank you for stopping by!

Addicted to Stamps and More CAS challenge 3

Hello everyone, a big wave and hello to new member Trish, and welcome to my first post as a member of the Addicted to Stamps and More design team! They have recently made several new very talented additions to their brilliant DT and I was very excited and honoured to be invited to join. I hope you will play along - we would all love to see your fab CAS creations this week.

The ATSandM blog (which has recently had an addition to its title as it was discovered there was already an existing ATS blog) has 6 different card challenges on a weekly rotating basis which are:

1. "Make Your Mark" 

2. "Bingo Addict"
3. Theme Challenge
4. Addicted to {Colour} Challenge
5. Clean & Simple (CAS)
6. Sketch Challenge

so there is something for everyone to have fun! There's also a monthly scrapbook challenge. 


For my card I wanted to use traditional Christmas colours with the Magic of Christmas clear stamp set by Hero Arts (stamped with Ranger distress inks) and here's another card using the same set in a different way.

Thank you for stopping by!

This week Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge is to use an element of music and their Scripture verse is:-

"Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ephesians 5:19-20

The music background stamp is by Stamporium and the verse is computer generated.
