CAS-ology week 17 and CAS-ual Fridays



Hi everyone, I went back into my craft room to make a second card after I had finished my Word Art card as I needed to have a good tidy up, but ended up making another! This is for the CAS-ology challenge which this week is


I would also like this to be my second entry into the CAS-ual Fridays challenge to make a card using Kraft.

Word Art Wednesday challenge 52


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

 I wanted to make a card using last week's Scripture verse from Word Art Wednesday which is  Matthew 6 verse 21 "Where your treasure is. your heart will be also" but for one reason and another I didn't get to it last week, but here it is today.

I had in mind what I wanted to do but in fact it hasn't worked out at all like I originally envisaged, and seems to have acquired a "tropical" feel! But hey tropical is OK lol !

Stamps by Hero Arts, papers by Kaisercraft.

Thanks for stopping by!

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

Less Is More sketch



Hello everybody, I've made another card for this week's LIM sketch challenge. I wanted to experiment with stamping with these lovely Scene-It stamps which are so versatile for making small or larger scenes and are great for using with the watercolour technique. All in all very difficult to photograph especially in this overcast afternoon light

The card is made with three separate little scenes (rather than one bigger scene cut into three) painted with three colours of distress ink and glitter glue for added snow sparkle. I was toying with the idea of whether to mount the panels onto coloured card but think maybe they look better just on the white card.

Thanks for looking!

ATSandM Make Your Mark! challenge 4




Hi everyone, thank you to all who entered our Addicted to Stamps and More sketch challenge last week. This week its "Make your Mark" - time to get out your marker pens and we look forward to seeing your fabulous creations!

I have to admit, I was struggling a little bit this week as I've got accustomed to using TH distress inks and aqua brush for colouring in and haven't used markers very much lately.  Hmm, looking at the finished article, I'm not at all sure about the wisdom of using the striped background!

For inspiration, I started off with this piece of stripey paper, selected three matching Promarkers and a butterflies stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs, added a diecut/embossed frame, ribbon and die cut sentiment also coloured with one of the Promarkers.

Why not pop over to Addicted to Stamps and More and check out the superb cards the other DT members have made!

Hi everybody, One Layer Wednesday is being hosted by the very talented Heather this week, and the challenge is to incorporate squares into your card.

I've used distressed alphabet stamps from Craftwork Cards for the squares, holly stamp also by Craftwork Cards and word stamp by Paula Pascual. Different colours and words could also be used for a different look.
