CPS and OWH Challenges Unite

A card I made - covers a few challenges - first is Day 6 sketch on Card Positioning System - celebrating 5 years.  Congratulations.  Also Operation Write Home is having a virtual card making party - two new challenges each night - this card first two of the challenges - tropical colors (pink, yellow and green) and birthday card.  I used my Silhouette to cut the lattice work - new designs this week and just perfect for a cardmaker.  I just bought one set - (4 in the set) wanted to see if I liked them - guess what I llike them.  I stamped a Hero Arts flower in VersaMark and embossed with clear embossing powder and then layers a couple more flowers to add some depth.  One flower was cut with the Silhouette.

I do need to make valentine cards.

Everyone enjoy your Friday.

Mother's Day card

this is my card for the Operation Write Home sketch this week.  I used the free digi designed by Sandy.  I think I made another CAS card - maybe I am getting better at this. 

I printed out the image, matted it in black.  The card base is Hero Arts paper - so it is white on the inside - a very pretty blue.  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye.  I added a black bow.  I am also adding this to the ribbon challenge. 

Card Positioning Systems, Penny Black, and Operation Write Home

Card Positioning Systems is celebrating their third anniversary with 15 days of sketches.  This is my take on the sketch on Day 4.  More Authentique paper, Penny Black sticker and SRM Sticker.  This card is going in my next box for Operation Write Home.

More Penny Black Stickers

OWH Stars and Stamps is having a virtual card party - one challenge last night - was masculine/nautical - I do believe this card qualifies.  If you check out Saturday's post - you will see a couple other cards made with these Penny Black Stickers - they are so gorgeous.  I have used some great Authentique paper as the accent color and an SRM sticker for the sentiment.

Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday.

Oldie Moldie Monday

I grabbed another one of those wonderful 6 x 6 Basic Grey pads and made my cards for this day.  I have made 2 of each design.  The cards are for Operation Write Home.  I think the top card could be used for Mother's Day or any time you want someone to know they are very special.  Of course, who doesn't love cupcakes - doesn't have to be a birthday card.  The sentiment is from Eat Cake Graphics.

Everyone enjoy your day and dig into some of that older paper and make some beautiful card.

Stampendous Belated Birthday Wishes

Good Sunday morning - are you ready to watch the super bowl or the commercials?  I will listen to it and pay closer attention to the commercials.  Since the Green Bay Packers are not playing, it does not mean as much to me.

My card today is based on one of the sketches from Card Positioning System - they are celebrating their 5th anniversary - with 15 days of sketches - this sketch is from Day 2.  The challenge from Stampendous this month is to use texture.  I have added texture with an embossing folder and have pop dotted the image and sentiment. 

The stamp is from Stampendous and the birthday sentiment is from SRM Stickers.  Of course, I had to add a little bling because every little girl loves bling and Molly's favorite color is purple. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

CAS Card Class and OWH SKIP

Good Saturday - today I am sharing a couple cards I made.  They are posted on the Stars and Stamps blog today for the introduction of a SKIP.  We have ten posts with cards inspired by the CAS online class we took.  Please go check it out. 

Few details about my cards.  My focus - embrace your white space - well I am embracing my "cream space".  I wanted to make some masculine cards and use these Penny Black stickers.  Aren't they great stickers.  My cream background is dry embossed.  It is a Cuddlebug folder.  I used both sides of the embossed cardstock.  Which do you prefer - embossed side up or down.  I cut a shape from a Spellbinder die cut.  I used SRM Stickers on each card. 

Have you tried to make any CAS cards (clean and simple)?  I don't think it is easy to make a nice CAS card.  Did I achieve it?
