CAS CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE ~ OCTOBER ~ POINSETTIA!!

WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE THAT I AM HOSTING ON CAS CHRISTMAS and if you are like me, you will have more than one poinsettia stamp, die or stencil in your stash! I hope you will have no problem coming up with a card with a poinsettia on it!

                                                                                                        

PRODUCTS USED:

Gina K & SSS collaboration:  Grand Poinsettia EF, Stencil, & Die

Gina K & SSS collaboration:  Merry & Light (sentiment)

Gina K:  Master Layouts #1

This was a collaboration with SSS last winter, so it is no longer available for purchase, but the embossing folder and stencil made such magnificent images to color.  

Another card using the same embossing folder, stencils and dies, I used a few more products from the Merry & Light set with the background and the leaves along with the sentiment.

That is it for me, but I will be back with another poinsettia card on Sept 15, I hope you are inspired to get out some of those beautiful poinsettia stamps and join us with this challenge.   As always be sure to head to the blog and see the cards made by the design team and our special guest Fabiolo!

    Thanks for stopping by!

CAS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE ~ SEPTEMEBER ~ WOODLAND CRITTERS

Hi friends!  I had to use this Colorado Craft Co stamp because it has so many awesome woodland critters in it...the fox, the squirrel, there is an owl at the top it can be seen when you open the fold, and then of course the very Nordic deer. This is a one layer card with just the added sentiment strip.   Being called Nordic Ornament, it of course reminds me of designs one would see from Norway!

The CAS CHRISTMAS Challenge this month is to make your card with woodland critters on it!  THE DESIGN TEAM has some wonderful cards for your inspiration as well as our Special Guest, Lynne at Lynne's Craft Haven.   Please head over to the blog and then join us this month for Christmas with woodland critters!   You have all month to make your card and we will have more inspiration for you on the 15th of the month!

COLOR HUES # 139 YELLOW & ORANGE

Friends, it is so good to be back making cards and sharing them with you!

I must admit I am trying to use up all my precut and colored images, just to make life a little easier  , but still feel like I have used some creativity!

When I saw the prompt for Color Hues using yellow and orange, I couldn't resist going through my flowers (even though green is NOT a neutral) I still felt like I could use gray and be safe!)  I pulled out an older set from The Greetery called Fleur Impressions, to be honest it was the first one sitting in my box and lo and behold I had so many already stamped and ready to go, I did have to do a few leaves for the gray, but it came together for me!

Thank you Marcia for the color prompt!

I may be back!!

Products used:

The Greetery:  Fleur Impressions

The Greetery:  Windowpane Plaid Background

The Greetery:  Sprinkled with Kindness

The Greetery:  Sentiment Suite Birthday and dies

Thanks for stopping by and having a look!!
