Happy Little Stampers November 2015 CAS Challenge

Hi there

Well, we're at the beginning of another month and that means it's new CAS Challenge time at Happy Little Stampers.  We have another great technique challenge for you, here it is...




This challenge is sponsored by


and one lucky winner will receive this fabulous stamp set!



For my DT card I decided to go super CAS and I love how it turned out...


I knew this challenge would be coming up so while I was at a craft show in the summer I treated myself to a little gilding flakes starter kit by Honey Doo Crafts.  It's got everything you need to get started.  There are lots of different shades of flakes but as I'd never used them before I just went with their one tone gold, Golden Sands.

I stamped the bauble and sentiment with the mixed media glue onto some deep red cardstock, followed the instructions that came with the kit and voila....here's a closer look.


I then simply die cut the image with a rectangle die and mounted this onto my card base with 3D foam.  I almost went for a black card base but I think the red and gold looks quite classy on the white.  What do you think?

Materials used:
  • Stamps: Marion Emberson Designs - Sparkling Christmas; Happy Little Stampers - Mixed Christmas Sentiments
  • Gilding Flakes: Honey Doo Crafts - Golden Sands (together with starter kit)
  • Die: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Rectangles

I'm going to link this card up at the following challenges:

Merry Monday - Challenge #178 - Red and Gold
Crazy 4 Challenges - Challenge #310 - Christmas
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Challenge #253 - It's Time to Sing (The First Noel)
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Challenge Extra for November - Anything Goes


My teamies over at Happy Little Stampers have created some wonderful cards for this challenge, if you have the time please drop by and see what they've made, you won't be disappointed.  And we also have a Guest Designer joining us this month, the fabulous Karen Mead of Made by Meadie.  Please stop by her blog and show her some love, her card is amazing!

And you don't need to use gilding flakes for this challenge.  There are lots of ways to add gilding and there is some help for you over at the challenge blog, here, if you are unsure.  There is a definition and some tutorials for you.  I can't wait to see your creations this month.
