CAS Floral

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a brand-new challenge ready for you!

Each challenge, CBC features a fresh Bingo card filled with fun and creative prompts - and while it's not your typical game of BINGO, the rules are simple:

Choose at least three items from ONE column and include them in your project.

This is a just-for-fun challenge, but it's a great way to get inspired - and you could earn a Winner or Top Pick Badge to proudly display on your bog or socials!

For my project, I picked the "N" column, which includes:

• CAS Style - Enamel Dot - Embossing - Floral Image

I had so much fun working with these elements - they really pushed my creativity!

I started with tearing a piece of cardstock to create a peek-a-boo panel then used an embossing folder to emboss a few places along the edges. 

After tearing a page from a book, I crumpled it up then used Frayed Burlap and Faded Jeans distress ink along the folds and edges. Before attaching the book page to the back of the cardstock, Frayed Burlap was applied along the edges and front of the torn cardstock.  

The flower stamp is from Pretty Petals collection by Simon Says Stamp, stamped with Frayed Burlap and added a touch of color with pencils. I also applied Texture 3 stamp by Lavinia on a few areas, again inked with Frayed Burlap.  To finish it off, I added a blue enamel dot and twine.

Visit the Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges blog to check out the full BINGO card and get inspired by the Design Team's creations. Then it's your turn - we can't wait to see what you make!

Happy crafting!

Christmas Puppy

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a new challenge ready to go for you!

CBC will feature a new Bingo card for each challenge and while this isn't your typical game of BINGO, you are required to use at least three items in ONE column.

This month Polkadoodles is sponsoring our challenge!

My choice was the "I" column - Make own background, CAS, Smooshing, Glitter

This cute little puppy is Lucky Present and I colored him with Copics then set to work on fussy cutting.  I created the background by spraying distress inks with water and using a piece of acetate to pick up the colors and started smooshing on the paper. Finished it off with silver shimmer spray and there are glitter stickles on the Santa hat.

So glad you stopped by and I look forward to seeing your creation!

Our challenge will run until February 8th so make sure to upload your creation by then for your chance to win a special prize.

I die cut and added layers (3) to the letters using white cardstock with the top layer cut in designer paper.  I used the mini wreath die cut by Lawn Fawn to cut two layers using green glitter.  I did this to make the wreath look fuller and finished it off with one layer of white cardstock.  The berries were also die cut using red glitter paper.

CAS it is - one stamp was used, the antlers from the Wonderland collection by Stampin Up! and enamel dots were used for the eyes and nose.  I used a snowflake embossing folder for the background and the sentiment was computer generated.

B-I-N-G-O Challenge

 Welcome to our new challenge at Creative Sketchy Girls!  As the title indicates, our theme this month is a BINGO Challenge.  

Our sponsor this month is De Egel and they have graciously provided a wonderful prize for the winner of this challenge, thank you!!

For my card I chose to work with Gems, Die-cut/Punches and Rope (Twine).  I came across a card created by Tracey Cuccia and I fell in love with the simple design so I decided to give it a try.  

I used the butterfly die-cut from the Tagged collection by Penny Black and as you can see I cut a number of different colored butterflies and stacked them up to create dimension. I applied glue to the middles of the butterflies so once dried I could fan them out a bit.  

To create the butterfly's path I used different colored gems and used a black marker to add the dots in between.  The sentiment is from the Vintage Vogue collection by StampinUp!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you make your way over to see the wonderful creations by our Design Team and to link up your creation!

Clean and Simple Dragonfly

Creative Knockouts Challenge time and our theme is CAS (Clean and Simple).  What does that mean? It means lots of open space, limited layers & embellies and keep it simple.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Fabrika Fantasy and the winner will receive a special prize.  

The image I selected is Summer Duckling however I didn't use the entire stamp, I chose to use just the dragonfly.  

I added a splash of distress inks in the corner of the cardstock then colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut around the image.  I applied pop-up dots on the back of the dragonfly, added sequins and bakers twine, stamped a simple sentiment in the corner - my CAS creation, quick and easy.

I hope you join us for our CAS challenge and I look forward to seeing your creation.

Arty Divas Challenge

Good day everyone! Not only do I have news on a new challenge at Arty Divas, I'm super excited to announce that I am now a new member of their Design Team so make sure to check us out!

As always, the theme at Arty Divas is Anything Goes and our fabulous sponsor for this challenge is My Besties and they have generously donated a special prize for the winner.

I love this whimsical image and I wanted to keep it CAS.  I cropped the image at the crease of the card and I wish I didn't crop it and had the last flower hang over the back of the card. Guess I'll just have to make more!

I used Stampin' Up! markers to add a bit of color and the birthday sentiment was computer generated.  I added Wink of Stella to the tips and centre of the flowers.  This is the perfect image to use when you don't have a lot of time.

CAS Ho! Ho! Ho!

Christmas at Sweet Stampin' is sadly having their last challenge but don't fret, the DT has decided to set up a new Challenge site to be unveiled shortly!

In the meantime, our last challenge will be Clean and Simple (CAS).  Remember the rules, it must be all about Christmas!

I pulled out this Hero Arts rubber stamp that I literally have had for at least a decade.  I heat embossed the image with black embossing powder and used circle die-cuts to layer.

The background was made by using the Cable Knit embossing folder from Stampin' Up!.  I finished it off with baker's twine and there you have CAS!

What's nice about CAS cards is that they are easy to make in multiples - give it a try and remember link your Christmas creation on our Challenge blog!

Thanks for stopping by!
