Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #133

Hello!

Its time for a new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps & More!! This week the challenge is Holiday!! I went with Easter!! I used bright spring like colors because i am so ready for spring!!

I started with a light blue card base then added a white notched banner with the flat side at the bottom of the card base (oh, i almost forgot, before adding it to the card base i tied a twine bow around it!). Next i die cut several Easter eggs from pattern paper. I also cut some white felt flowers and green felt leaves.

Next i arranged the eggs and flowers at the bottom of the card, when i was happy with the arrangement i adhered some eggs directly to the card and a couple with foam dots. I adhered the flowers and leaves on and around the eggs then added a little pink glitter glue to each flower center.

Last i inked up the You're Egg-stra Special' sentiment and stamped it above the banner. I just love this sentiment, a perfect little message to send to a special someone for Easter!!

I hope you will play along with us at Addicted to Stamps and More!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Hello!!

Today i am sharing a card that i am submitting to the Gallery Idol Open Auditions. The Challenge for the open auditions is to use decorative tape in a unique way, which is hard!! For this card i am using washi tape and the paper piecing technique or i guess i should say washi tape piecing! hehe!

I started by stamping two rows with my long flag. Then i stamped the flag several times on some washi tape, then cut them out. I added the washi tape flags to my card base, on every other flag. Then i added 2 strips of grey card stock i found in my extra do-dads dish.

Next i die cut a piece of paper that i had at one point colored with some melon ink. I added black center to most of the flowers. I added them to the top left row with foam dots. Last i stamped the sentiment in the upper right.

I really love how it turned out! Mint and Melon is a favorite color combo of mine!!

Thanks for stopping by!! I'll be back today or tomorrow with my remaining 2 entries! (Its hard to decided which cards to enter, i still have one idea i'm trying out today!)

Just a Note to Say

Hello there!

Today i have probably the most CAS card i have ever done!! The challenge this week at CAS-ual Friday's is Banners & Flags! And when i sat down at my craft table i was looking at the sets on my desk and that's when inspiration hit as i was looking at a stamp set by Give A Girl A....

I stamped the banner in black ink and cut it out. Next i stamped the sentiment 'just a note to say' inside the banner.

Then i adhered the alphabet chipboard stickers to spell hi to my cardbase. Then last i added the banner across the stickers.

Easy peasy!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
