ATSAM Bingo Addict Challenge #4

Hello everyone,  and welcome to new member, Valerie.

Our challenge this week at Addicted to Stamps and More is bingo!!

Why not join in and make a project using our bingo board, just choose any one line and use those items to make your card and if the "free" box is in the line of your choice, try not to use any of the other elements already on the bingo card.

As the sky is looking very grey here, I wanted to make a card that would interject a little sunshine into the proceedings  :) with bingo line Orange - White - Free (stamps).

The grassy stamp is from Garden Silhouettes set by Stampin Up, word stamp by Hobby Art.

Thank you for stopping by and thanks so much to everyone who leaves a comment, its very much appreciated. Have a nice sunny day even if the sun isn't shining where you are! xx

CAS(E) This Sketch and CAS-ual Fridays

I wanted to challenge myself to make a Christmas card using non-traditional colours and non-Christmas stamps (apart from the sentiment of course!). This card is for the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge #2 and here's the sketch:

I used background stamps by Martha Stewart and flower stamp from Vintage Vogue set by Stampin Up with the addition of a die cut snowflake, button and twine.

Would also like to enter this in the CAS-ual Fridays challenge to make a clean and simple tag or card using an element that goes over the edge.

Thanks for taking the time to look!

Bird and foliage collage

Hi everyone, and hello and welcome to new member, Arielle.

I couldn't resist making another card for the Less Is More challenge theme of WINGS when I got a lovely stamp set called Papaya Collage by Stampin Up. The maidenhair foliage stamp is so delicate.

My first idea was to use a blue background, green leaves and brown bird, but then I decided to use a different colour palette.

I debossed a frame and then sponged on TH Antique Linen and Antique Rose for the background, stamped the leaves in Fired Brick and the bird and sentiment in Rusty Hinge. Sentiment stamp by Inkylicious.

I would also like to enter this in the Creative Card Crew challenge #21 - BIRDS.

Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great weekend! Thank you so much for visiting my blog x

I find one layer quite challenging so have made a few more cards for the Less Is More challenge this week to use FOLIAGE. Hehe I managed to make a one layer Christmas card with this stamp by De Nami Designs, coloured in with Ranger distress inks and a touch of glitter glue and Glossy Accents on the holly berries.

Leaf stamps by Penny Black and Sheena Douglass, words stamp by Hobby Art.

This card has some of the leaves (retired Stampin Up set Garden Silhouettes) embossed in white with Celadon ink by Artnic sponged over the top, and words stamp by Hobby Art.
