Addicted to Stamps and More #50 - Photo inspiration

Hello everybody, this week at Addicted to Stamps and More, we have beautiful photo inspiration! It's ATSM's first birthday and Kylie and the DT would like to thank everyone who has joined in and made the challenge blog such a success - thank you for all your support.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Di's Digi Downloads who will be offering a prize to our Top Addict. 

My DT card



I've used stamps from Jo Firth's range at Paper Artsy, stamped with TH distress ink and the images softened with an aqua brush, other TH inks added with the brush and blended. 

We hope you have fun with the inspiration this week and look forward to seeing your lovely cards.

Thanks for looking.

PDCC #186, CAS on Sunday #10 and MMM


Hi everybody, I've made this for a few challenges.

Make My Monday - CAS flowers, inspired by The Play Date Cafe colours and CAS on Sunday - Black, White Plus One.


I cut the panel on one side with the notebook die, and drew the notebook lines with the fine point end of TH marker Barn Door which I also used to ink the stamps for the flowers. Stamps and dies by PTI Daydreamer.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely weekend!

Addicted to CAS Challenge #15 - Teenager


Hi everbody, there is a new code word at Addicted to CAS, selected by the very talented DT member Vicki, who is also our host for this two week challenge.

Our generous sponsor is Bugaboo Digi Stamps who will be offering a prize to our CAS Perfectionist.

My DT card



I did struggle with this challenge as I have to admit, I don't really know much about teenagers and their likes etc and my card is probably for a younger age group.

The image is from our sponsor, Bugaboo Digi Stamps, coloured with Promarkers, printed sentiment by Craftwork Cards.

Please do check out the fabulous inspiration from the other members of the DT here and we hope you will be joining in the fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a lovely weekend.

Muse #21



Hello everybody, here is my card for this week's Muse challenge. The fabulous inspiration is provided by Therese Calvird.


I've used a canvas textured card blank and stamped the leaves directly onto it. The PTI Rosie Posie stamps were inked with SU! markers and I've added some sequins and punched butterflies (Nellie Snellen). Sentiment also by PTI.

Thank you so much for looking!

Addicted to Stamps and More challenge #49 - CAS



Hello dear crafting friends, this is my DT card for the Addicted to Stamps and More challenge, which this week is CAS.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is once again Di's Digi Downloads, who will be offering a prize to our Top Addict.

To create my peaceful waterside scene, I thought about how I wanted the scene to look, layout, etc then scribbled with SU! markers (Soft Suede and Pink Pirhouette) onto an acrylic block, misted with water and pressed onto some card then did a bit of blending with an aqua brush and stamped a few flowers. Flower and sentiment stamps by MFT, birds stamp by Hobby Art.

This card is also for The Dynamic Duos.


We do hope you will be able to join us at Addicted to Stamps and More - anything goes so long as it's CAS.

Fusion #10 and Clearly Besotted Stamps challenge #1


Hi everyone, and a big hello to new member, Maudieroff!

I've made this card for two challenges, firstly Fusion using the colours from the photo and layout from the sketch.


Also, for the first ever Clearly Besotted Stamps challenge - Anything goes as long as you use at least one Clearly Besotted product. I've used one of the dies from the Leafy Accents dies set and a sentiment from the It's Your Birthday stamp set. 

The flowers were made using a Memory Box cherry blossom die, colour washed with some TH distress inks and aqua brush. 

Not a brilliant photo, the light quality isn't very good today :(  The scoring on the bottom of the card is really hard to see, sorry. 

Thanks for stopping by!
