Addicted to Stamps and More #118

Good morning

Well, we've whizzed around to Wednesday again and Addicted to Stamps and More has a fresh new challenge for you.  This week's challenge theme is...

Holiday

How you interpret this is up to you...it could be an annual holiday such as Christmas, Easter, etc. or a holiday destination/theme

Our fab sponsor this week is Eureka Stamps and the winner's prize will be 3 digis from their store.

Here is my DT card using a digi image by our sponsor...

I printed the digi onto white card and cut it out using a Spellbinders die.  I then coloured the image with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers and added some Wink of Stella to the gold trim of the sleigh and the stars on the tree.  I covered the card base with some green jacquard Christmas paper and adhered the die cut onto this.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment banner and popped this up on 3D foam and added a snowflake and some stars which were die cut from glitter paper.  I'm not overly happy with this card, it's not really my usual style as I needed to print the digi fairly large to be able to colour the detail and I then struggled a bit with my layout.  As a Christmas card, I like it.  I just prefer my more CAS designs.

Materials used:

• Digi: Eureka Stamps - Sleigh with Presents
• Coloured with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers
• Accented with Wink of Stella
• Stamp: Clearly Besotted - Mini Banners
• Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black
• Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Labels One; Clearly Besotted - Mini Basic Banners; Uniko Studio - Designer Dies Snowflakes
• Cardstock and paper from stash

Now, why not pop over to ATSM to get some Holiday inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.  There is a lovely selection of cards this week to get your mojo going.

We'd love you to join in and share your creations with us.

Have a great day!

Good morning!

It's Wednesday morning and time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.  This week we have everybody's favourite challenge...

Anything Goes

Just have fun and share whatever you create

Here is my DT card...

This week's Sponsor is Eureka Stamps and they are offering 3 digis to our lucky challenge winner!

I used a digi image by our Sponsor this week and had great fun colouring it in with my ProMarkers and Flexmarkers.  I make very few cards for children so felt I needed at least one in my stock!  I like to keep my cards fairly simple but wanted to stamp some kind of background so I picked out some colours used in my image and stamped the dotted squares in corresponding ink colours and used this row of blocks to form a background for my sentiment banner.  The die I used for the sentiment strip was actually a fishtail flag but I put it back through my Big Shot and cut it shorter with the straight edge at both ends.

Materials used:

• Digi Image: Eureka Stamps - Baby Animals
• Stamps: Clearly Besotted - Geometric Style and In the Frame
• Ink: Versa Color - Sky Blue, Sky Gray, Umber, Topaz; Versafine - Onyx Black
• Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Rectangles Large; MFT Die-namics - Fishtail Flag Stax

I'd like to enter this card at the following challenges:

Simply Create Too - Challenge #66 - For a Child

The Crafter's Cafe - Challenge #73 - Anything Goes

Crafty Catz - Challenge #241 - Anything Goes

Brown Sugar - Challenge #104 - For the Boys

Why not pop on over to ATSM to grab some inspiration from the fab creations my fellow Design Teamies have shared this week.  Anything Goes is an easy-peasy challenge so what are you waiting for?  You could win yourself some free digi images :)

I'd love to know what you think about my card so if you have time, please leave a comment.  Have a fab day whatever you're up to.

Addicted to Stamps and More #104

Hi guys

It's Wednesday morning and that means there is a fresh new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More. We have a different genre each week and this week's theme is...

Addicted to CAS

We want to see your Clean and Simple creations

CAS style is fast becoming my favourite and although I've been creating many one layer cards lately, I've used a few layers on today's card while also keeping within the clean and simple theme.

Our sponsor this week is Eureka Stamps and they are offering the fabulous prize of 3 digis.

For my card I used one of the Eureka Digi Stamps, Kitty Peeker, and coloured him with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers before fussy-cutting him out.  I then stamped the Happy Birthday onto a white cardstock panel slightly smaller than my card base and also coloured this in with my markers.  I added a little touch of Wink of Stella to the ribbon on the parcel.  Next I die cut the label square and adhered some patterned cardstock to the card base in the position of the aperture before popping the panel up on 3D foam strips.  The cute kitty was also then popped up on 3D foam and positioned peeking out of the window.

Materials used:

• Digi: Eureka Stamps - Kitty Peeker
• Stamp: Papermania - Typography Happy Birthday
• Die: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Labels One
• Patterned Cardstock: Pebbles - Basics Cardmaking Pad 2
• Coloured with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers
• Accents: Wink of Stella

There are some fab creations by my fellow Design Team members over at ATSM so why not pop over and grab some inspiration.  We'd love to see your CAS creations this week.  If you're unsure of the challenge rules you can find them here.

I'd also like to enter this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of A Challenge - Challenge #123 - Animal
The Cutie Pie Challenge - Challenge #73 - Use a Cute Digi
Charisma Cardz - Challenge #15 - Anything Goes
