Happy Father's Day


It's time for a new challenge at Festive Friday where every challenge is an inspiration list based on a selected holiday/festivity from the traditional to the unusual. Challenge projects must include at least three items from the festivity inspiration list.


Since the Inspiration List is a mix of elements related to the festivity, the creator has the choice to make something for that festivity, or to ignore the festivity all together and create something using just the three (or more) elements selected.

Today's festivities are in celebration of Father's Day, which falls on June 20th this year. The challenge runs from  June 11 - June 21.

I like to create a card for our challenge that goes with the celebration theme. To create my Father's Day themed card, I came up with a design, and I completed it using Paper Smooches Frame 3 Die, Papertrey Ink's Block Alphabet and Simple Circles Border Dies, Stampin Up 3 Heart Punch and some patterned paper from Carta Bella's 6x6 Yacht Club Collection. The final touch was a gray adhesive backed pearl on the heart, and my card was finished. I used heart, blue, and boat from the Inspo List.

For more inspiration, be sure to visit the rest of the Festive Friday Challenge Design team.

Every Shade Of Happy




It's time for a new challenge at Addicted To CAS. Our Code Word for ATCAS Challenge #185 is RAINBOW. Ceal is our hostess.

We have a wonderful Guest Designer with us for this challenge - Hannelie.  Desert Diva Hannelie's artistry always takes my breath away. Do treat yourself to a stroll through her blog for some incredible inspiration.

To create my card, I used Gina K's Be The Rainbow set for my image and sentiment. I colored the rainbow with Stampin' Up Stampin' Write Markers that I have owned for more years than I can remember. It is amazing to me that they are still as fresh as ever. I colored and stamped each arc several times directly on to the Neenah Solar White 110# card base using my MISTI to get full coverage. I added a sentiment from the same set using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, and my card was complete.  

Please head on over to the ATCAS Challenge Blog, take a look at the wonderful creations that Hannelie and the Design Team have 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:
