CAS @ASTM

Morning all.

Well its time for a new challenge over at ATSM and this week we would like to see your

CAS creations.

I definitely veer on the side of CAS these days, I'm not the sort of person who throws everything at a card even if I am using DPs, so the clean lines certainly appeal.
This is my card for your inspiration.

It uses an image from our sponsors for this week,

who are offering a prize of three digis to the winner.

This little chap is called Kitty Peeker and I used him to create a baby card for the stash as well as enter a few challenges including:-

CAS on Sunday - Rock a bye Baby

Less is More - Animal

Cute Card Thursday - CAS

I used my Little B Squares to cut an aperture for the kitty which I coloured with Copics then fussy cut. The background DP was a scrap from some NitWits paper from the bits box, stuck to the base card before popping up the top layer and kitty on pads. Job done, simples.

So why not pop over to see what the rest of the girls have been up to for your inspiration and then get making.
Thanks for stopping by if you came from the main site or other places.

Welcome Baby

Good morning folks.

It's Tuesday so it's time for a new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz. This week it is the theme of -

WELCOME  BABY

We'd like to see your baby cards and projects for a little boy, using any technique you can come up with. This is my card for your inspiration.

The layout is based on the latest challenge over at the Male Room.

Instead of the squares I used circles as I wanted to use my LOTV  3 Bears with parcel stamp again. I used a circular sentiment from LOTV as the central image and fussy cut two of the bears, coloured with Copics and then mounted on pads in the aperture. I used buttons in decreasing sizes to be the horizontal panel on the sketch. The end result is pretty CAS so fits with quite a few challenges.

OK, that's about it. Pop over to the main site to see the rest of the DT's inspiration then have a go. You never know when you might need a birth congratulations.

I shall enter the following challenges:-

Cute Card Thursday - circles

The Card Concept -  Probably clean and layered?

Creative Inspirations - Clean and Simple

Copic Marker Europe - Baby

Inkspirational - Blue and white/cream

Moving along with the times - Birthdays, Bunting and Buttons

Baby

Morning all.

Have my grandson here at the moment with his mum n dad. He's definitely an early riser. I woke at five to hear his voice in the distance but he didn't get us up until just before seven, Nich managed to get him to stay with them.

Nich has asked for another baby card for a boy but I only had a pink one in the stash so I rustled up this for her.

It's just a bit of blue gingham paper, a couple of buttons and some blue card all from the stash.

The blue square was cut using a Spellbinders 'Fleur de lys' square die and the pram was a 3/4 of a circle punch mounted on a white square. The detail was added with a black fine liner. Quite quick and simple once I'd found the bits n pieces.

I shall enter it in the following challenges:-

Baby Boy

Good afternoon, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. For how long I don't know, we better make the most of it!

Had a text from my daughter this morning, requesting a baby card for a friend of her's whose just had a little boy. I knew I should have made a boy card when I made the pink baby card a while back! Never mind, a good excuse to get into the craft room.

The card is based on this weeks challenge at Seize the Sketch . 

The stamp is the same DoCrafts stamp, this time coloured in blue. The image was double mounted on satin blue and white card. The panel is in the same satin blue card, embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The tab is part of the Marianne Collectable COL 1315 set stamped with a Personal Impression sentiment. The gingham backing paper is from Forever Friends.

Don't forget you can still enter our 

Love and Cherish

challenge over at Fantasy Stampers. It doesn't have to be a Valentine but could be a new baby or wedding or anniversary, or anything that you love and cherish!

That's it for today, so I'll sign off and thank you for popping by.

My favourite style

Good afternoon everyone and thanks for popping around.

It's a gorgeous day outside, and I've just come back from a walk across the fields to help Al fill the hay racks for the sheep. It must have chucked it down last night 'cos the fields are running in water. The sheep, very sensibly, have taken themselves to higher ground and were sun bathing or drying out!

Anyway it's Sunday and I appear to be making a CAS card again! It is my favourite style at the moment.

This time it is inspired by Sketch Saturday's latest sketch and the theme at Less is More.

The stamp is one I've had for years, think it was from Do Crafts. I've used it quite a few times in the past as my daughter's friends were having lots of babies between them four or so years ago. I have kept the colouring down to a minimum, just using Copic RV10,13,14 to colour the hearts, patches and piping.

The coloured papers are just some scraps from the bit box and I embossed the bottom half of the main card with a swiss dot embossing folder. The words and tag are from Marianne (COL1314).

I am entering this project into the following challenges:-

Less is More - New baby

Sketch Saturday - #293

Sweet Stamping Challenge - Favourite Style

Addicted to CAS - New

CASology - Dot

Thanks for looking and come back soon.
