Welcome Friends, I am so glad you are here again and I hope you are having fun playing with us at CAS CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE for the month of June.  This is just a little extra inspiration as we are half way through the month with this BIRD challenge.

These are the products I used for this card:

Penny Black & SSS collaboration for Stamptember:  Bright & Merry

Spellbinders:  Forevergreen EF

Zig watercolor pens

Pinkfresh:  Ruby Glitter Drops

CAS Christmas ~ JUNE Challenge ~ Bird

Welcome friends to our NEW CAS CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE!

We are all thrilled to be back at making Christmas cards year round and giving you inspiration.

This challenge hosted by our creator of CAS Christmas is Loll and she is looking for a bird on your Christmas card.  Here is mine:

Oh it was so fun to pull out older but goodie stamps and dies and have another play with them.  I listed all the products I used just below, do remember though that My Favorite Things is no longer in business.

Products used for this card: 

MFT;   Winter Songbird (birds)

Waffle Flower:  Vertical MERRY die & sentiments

Spellbinders:  Forevergreen EF

And just because I had fun pulling out the above dies and feathered friends, I saw the MFT MERRY die and decided to pair that with some robins, so here is a bonus card for you.   We will also have more inspiration on the 15th of each month using the same theme!

Products used for this card:

MFT:  Merry Dienamics

Hero Arts:  Christmas Robins

Spellbinders:  Forevergreen EF

It seems I am having trouble with the inlinkz, so this may not get posted in time!

I will show you a few other valentine cards I have made the last several days!

The last three are a stencil and die set that I won from SSS called Printmaking Hearts.

I used all the stencils but not the dies on these cards.

This card I made last year but I don't think I ever posted it!

I used the dies to cut out the hearts!

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ MASCULINE CARD

Hi friends, this is our last Seize the Birthday Challenge for 2024!

We are taking the month of December off, but will be back with more challenges in January 2025!!

Today's challenge is all about making a masculine birthday card and Barbara is our hostess!

I have to admit I am not that great with masculine cards and my stash of stamps is limited!

But I decided to go with a fun kind of rainbow leaf design.

I watched a video by Gina K (HERE)showing a monochromatic card using these leaves from the Autumn Silhouette stamp set.  I changed it up by blending rainbow colors in the three circles, then stamping the leaves and following what Gina did with her monochromatic design.

 

I hope you will be joining us for this last challenge of the year!

Check out our Special Guest FRAN for even more inspiration.

I look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!!

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ ONE FOCAL IMAGE

Hi friends, today Ashwini wants us to stamp one image only once on our birthday card for the SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE, it is okay to add other embellishments or backgrounds, but only stamp the main image ONCE!

this stamp is MFT: Super Boy

the background paper is from LDRS:  Lovely Watercolor

I colored the boy with copics and mounted the card on PTI melon berry cardstock.

 

Please check out the designers and our guest, FRAN for more inspiration!

I look forward to seeing you in the gallery!

Heart Hugs, friends!
