A new year has begun and so has the first ATCAS Challenge of 2019 with code word: SNOWFLAKE. Angie, of Cimbacreativefun, is our host.

I Forgot!

Hello! And Happy New Year!

I am so very excited and honored to announce, that I have joined the Less is More Design Team! Woot!!  This is my first post as a LIM Designer. When I first began blogging, I was all about the layers and embellishments. When The Less Is More Challenge first opened, I had never tried and was quite terrified of CAS design. I began to play, and as time went on, I got the hang of it and fell in love. Now it is largely my cardmaking style.  I am so happy to be part of this amazing team of crafters. Here we go!

Water in any of its forms...ice, snow, mist, liquid...

Our Guest Designer is our October 2018 winner: Viv of Daizy-Mae's Crafty Blog. Viv's designs and coloring skills are fantastic! Treat yourself to a visit to her blog. You will be so glad you did.

For my card, I used Hero Arts Enjoy the Journey stamps and dies to make this punny belated birthday card. I created the water with Hero Arts Dark Teal Liquid Watercolor. I stamped the ship on watercolor paper, colored it with Zigs, die cut, and placed it on the watercolor background in the aperture.

The January Challenge is up and running at Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge. The theme is Anything Goes, and the twist is: REINDEER. For my card, I used a Stampin Up reindeer stamp that I have had in my stash for years. I embossed it with gold EP and set it on an die cut of cork to resemble a hilly terriain. The word "peace" (Jillian Vance) seemed to fit so well with the scene.

I just love this sentiment from Stamper's Anonymous Heartfelt Cling Stamp set. I paired it with this wonderful Capri Heart die from Poppystamps. It reminds me of a sand dollar, which is one of my favorite sea shells to find. I put the two together on a white linen scalloped rectangle die cut mounted on Neenah Solar White 110# card stock. It is very simple, but speaks volumes.

To make my card, I pulled out the December 2016 My Monthly Hero Kit. It contains lots of celebratory images and dies. I stamped and die cut the sparkler image 7 times with Tsukineko Silver Shimmer Delicata Ink. I then added a dot of gold to each of the sparkles with a Zig Painty gold pen and I arranged the sparklers in a circle to create a wreath. I die cut the word "cheers" from silver metallic adhesive backed paper (PTI) and placed it under the sparkler wreath. I used Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Rectangle Lawn Cuts with white linen cardstock (PTI), and mounted that panel on to a Ninah Solar White 110# card base.
