CAS Christmas ~ Let It Snow

We're sending cooling thoughts your way with a new challenge at CAS Christmas! Making a snowman in July would be impossible in Ohio with our usual hot humid temps. But the paper kind can always be done! I pulled out an old woodblock stamp for today's card. Take a look...

He's a tall skinny frosty fella from Art Gone Wild. I tucked him into a Reverse Confetti arched die cut that was adhered to a teal card base.  A sprinkling of snowflakes (also an old woodblock stamp; no company markings) were stamped with white ink. I used a simple sentiment tab by Memory Box to finish it off. A couple of layers, but still very CAS!

Okay, your turn to build a snowman. You have the whole month and can play more than once if you want to!

Just Us Girls #829 ~ Happy Birthday

Well hello there! We have our new challenge up at Just Us Girls. It's stencil week and I'm hosting! I have a cutie patootie birthday card for your inspiration. Take a look...

I started with a stenciled panel using a WF stencil set. I cut it with the largest SSS Scalloped Arches and, as you can see, left off the scallops. Next, I die cut an oval from the center of the panel. Everything went back together on a white card base. My cutie patootie little lion from Stamps By Judith is the focal point. He has a glittery chest and whiskers. I opted for an oversized sentiment tab from MB and rounded the top corners of the card base to echo the big arch. I liiiiike it!!

Pull a stencil set from your stash and come play along. 

We love it when you do!

Just Us Girls #828 ~ Wishing you the best day

 

If you're a flower lover, this week's challenge at Just Us Girls is for you! Denise has given us a pretty Mood Board with a great mix of blooms and colors. I picked a few of the colors and whipped up this little number for you. 

I used the pretty Be Fearless press plate, stencil and die set by Pinkfresh Studio. I created a wreath of sorts with a PPP Scallop circle die to arrange the blooms on. A PPP label die holds my sentiment. Everything was popped onto a floral embossed panel sent to me by my sweet friend, Greta.

This gallery is sure to be a pretty one, hope your card is in it!

**EDIT**

Just saw this works for the new Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

Just Us Girls #827 ~ You're Sweet

Hello, my friends! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Vicki is hosting word week and she's looking for SUMMER on your cards!

This sweet little girl in her polka dot bathing suit makes an appearance on my blog just about every summer. She's too cute not to share! This time she went onto a PTI tag set. The pink lemonade paper seemed a perfect fit. Homemade lemonade is a must for those hot summer days! Everything went onto a white card base and was topped off with a polka dot bow (TSM) and a few little rhinestones. 

What kind of summer goodies do you have in your stash? I can't wait to see what you make. You are playing along, aren't you?
