CASology - Week 161

Anyone who has visited my blog over the years know that CAS is my favourite kind of card and I've had a little time to create something for the CASology challenge this week which calls for Plaid.  The Design Team have come up with lots of lovely inspiration if you care to pop over and take a look.

Here's my card:

The cute elephant is from the Silhouette store and I used the fill pattern function for the plaid ear which I printed twice and decoupaged for a bit of dimension.  I also added a sequin to the heart.

The sentiment is a Paula Pasqual stamp.

I love ProMarkers Challenge

Here's a card I made using Little Claire's stamps.  It's a blatant copy of the layout of a card I found on their blog (oh well, they do say imitation is the highest form of flattery), but I loved it so much I thought I would make it for my nephew's new baby. I did change it slightly by using a Sizzlit die cut button in the middle and not the bird, lol.  I hope they don't mind.

It just so happens that it fits in with the challenge at: http://ilovepromarkers.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/280-3-or-more-layers.html (I love ProMarkers) which is 3 or more layers.

I used Nesties squares for each of the four panels and mounted them onto a piece of yellow Bazzill cardstock and then layered it onto a 7x 7 white card blank.

Obviously, I used Promarkers to colour the Little Claire's image.  Oops, just realised I put the blue and green at the bottom - it would have looked better if I'd mixed them up a bit more - too late to change them now (I used extra strong tape to fix them - duh!).

Thank you for stopping by.

Gosh

I can't believe it's been well over a year since my last post. I have suffered really badly from anxiety over this last year and a bit and I lost interest in crafting.  I think I'm over it now and am starting to get a bit more enthusiastic about making cards and crafting again.

I'm glad to see my favourite challenge blog Less is More is still going strong and I've have made a couple of cards to enter into this week's challenge.

This week is a celebration as it's Chrissie's 70th birthday - happy birthday Chrissie, I hope you have a wonderful time.  

The challenge is all about 'Snippets' - so here's my efforts:

My first card has used a snippet of ribbon I found in my ribbon/string bag of bits.

The image is from Miss Katie Cuttables

My next card is made using bits of card and I have used alphabet dies from Mollymoo,  stamps from Card-io and birthday die from Rob Adams:

Well I did enjoy making these - I'd forgotten how craft has the ability to absorb you into a little world of your own and take your mind off your woes.

Thank you for dropping by and I hope to be a regular again.

A card for the guys!  Most of us struggle with those I think, but I found an Indigo blu set called Mr Fantashtic on sale on the Clare Curd website - a real bargain so I treated myself to them.

A foam stamp I've had in my stash for ages from QVC - don't know who made them

Less Is More sketch - Take 2

Ooooh! I like this sketch so much I made another:

I used the Print and Cut option on my Cameo to colour the heart border.  The sentiment is from Paula Pascual and a few Hotfix crystals.  

Thanks for visiting.
