Hi

Hi

Time Out Challenge #144 is up and running. This time it's a Home Sweet Home Challenge: a photo inspiration challenge with a homey twist!

Our wonderful sponsor is Poppy Stamps. Challenge winner will receive a gift voucher from Poppy Stamps. 

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the incredibly talented Desert Diva Hannelie. I highly encourage you to treat yourself to a stroll through her blog. Her creations are awesome. Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired, and please leave her some love.

Here is a larger image of the photograph. If you look very carefully, there are many elements that you may not see upon first look!

When I spotted the pillow on the couch that is third from the left, I immediately thought of The Gossip Column: Geometric Generation Digital Elements - a freebie I downloaded from Winnie and Walter. I used that for the background of my card. I wanted to pick up something that was not so obvious in the photo. If you look on the shelf behind the couch, there is a sculpture of a pink hand and next to it, a little glass vase with a piece of greenery in it. When I saw that, I knew just what I would do. The wonky circle is from MFT. The hand is from Hands by Julie Ebersole, Essentials by Ellen Designer Dies and the greenery from Flora and Fauna Terrarium Cluster Dies.

Bonjour

I am super excited to be posting today as Guest Designer for the September 2019 CAS Mix Up Challenge where the theme is "inchies". Click HERE for full challenge details. I am absolutely honored to be designing along with these incredibly talented artists.

For my card, I decided to use the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 3 Die as the apertures measure 1" square.  I found the perfect stamps in my stash from way back - an Impression Obsession set that doesn't even have a name on it. There are 8 images that are all 1" square. I inked four of them with various PTI inks, and stamped them on the 1" square die cuts. I inlaid them in the negative spaces of the PPP die.

I positioned the "bonjour" sentiment from Heffy Doodle's Hello Everyone set onto the Stitched Duo 3 die cut and stamped it using my MISTI. I removed the die cut, placed the card base in my MISTI positioning it so that the sentiment would be where I wanted it and stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I then applied foam tape to the back of the die cut and adhered it to the card base matching the two stamped sentiments together. This achieved the effect of the sentiment going over the edge of the die cut, with the placement making the sentiment look continuous.

Please head over to the CAS Mix Up blog and check out the awesome creations that the Design Team has made for your inspiration. 

Pink & Purple Bonjour

Time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS 
Challenge #167 - Pink And Purple
Susan is our Hostess With The Mostest! 

To make my card, I used the Simon Says Stamp Circular Lace stencil with Spun Sugar (pink) and Seedless Preserves (purple) Distress Oxide Ink. I stamped the sentiment from Heffy Doodle's Hello Everyone stamp set using SU Elegant Eggplant (purple) ink onto a piece of white cardstock, cut it out with the matching die and adhered it to the card. 

Please head on over to the ATCAS Challenge Blog, take a look at the wonderful inspiration pieces the Design Team has created for your inspiration, and make something to share in the gallery. Challenge winner will be offered a Guest Designer spot for a future challenge. Happy crafting!

Please remember that this is a CAS challenge. Here is a definition to remind you:
