Another little birdie!

Hi everyone, I love making cards featuring birds so couldn't resist making another for Addicted to CAS as the code word is BIRD.

The bird, branch and landscape were stamped in black Memento and coloured with Chameleon pens.

Also linking up to Make My Monday - Things With Wings and Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes.

ATSM #73 - HOLIDAYS

Hi everyone, the theme at Addicted to Stamps and More is ... HOLIDAYS  (not necessarily Christmas, use the theme as you would like!). This is a new theme challenge, which is replacing the colour challenge.

Our generous sponsor for this week's challenge is Deedee's Digis and our Top Addict will receive a fab prize of three sets of digis from their store.

For my DT card, I've used the Catalina Wreath die and decorated it with little snowflakes cut with Snowflake Burst. I think this card looks better IRL as you can't see from the photo that the wreath is cut from white glossy sparkle card and the snowflakes have silver sparkle.

Here's a close-up.

The ATSM design team have a fabulous variety of projects to show you, so don't forget to pop over and check it out and we look forward to seeing your lovely creations and visiting your blogs!

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.

CAS-ology and Make My Monday

Hi everyone, have you ever started to make a card and then decided its all wrong and had to begin again? I made a flower using some blue papers which I was quite pleased with and then found after trying several different shades of blue that I didn't have the right colour ink for the sentiment.

I've made this card for CAS-ology week #27 - BLUE , as a second entry at Make My Monday to use DIES/PUNCHES, and as a second design team card for Addicted to CAS - EMBOSSING.

Dies and punches used: Paula Pascual Sizzix dies and stamps set to make the flower, 2 inch circle punch and corner rounder punch.

Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

Thank you for looking!

Make My Monday White on White

MMM Vintage Theme Week 1

Hi everyone, I hope you're enjoying this nice weather!

A big hello and welcome to new member, Maribel. Thank you so much for your sweet comments.

Make My Monday have started September with a new VINTAGE challenge, this week is vintage fashion.

I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to use my chipboard mannequins and vintage lace, however I couldn't find either of them in my craft room, ggrrrr!! After finishing my card I did find the mannequins but the vintage lace has yet to be discovered, LOL.

The papers and diecuts I have used for my card are all from Craftwork Cards (apart from the little piece of blue lacy paper on the label which is by Hunkydory). Flowers by Prima.

I would also like to enter this card in the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge to make a BIRTHDAY card.

Make My Monday colour challenge 5

Hi everyone, the current Make My Monday colour challenge is to use split complimentary colors: fuchsia, yellow and bright green.

Here is my initial attempt, not sure if I am entirely happy with it and methinks I will probably do another entry.
