Thanks! You're the best

This card is made in a second attempt for two lovely challenges.

Fab Friday 09 and Dynamic Duos #34

 

This card is also submitted for CAS-ual Fridays

This time I have used Spellbinders Butterfly die

on plain cards with a simple message

in a CAS card, completed with pearls.

The butterflies are actually cut out of a card box for extra dimension.

Thanks! you're the best

Happy Day Over The Edge

Combined these two challenges to make this card

Dynamic Duos DD#25 ~ Orange and Black with Die-cuts

and Casual Fridays CFC75 : Over The Edge

CFC75: Create a Clean And Simple card or tag with an element that goes over the edge.

A simple card with Spellbinders, Maya Road Twine and

plain sentiment.

NEON Card to say Hi

365 Cards Day 224 ~ NEON

... is all about using NEON colors on your card.  You can use any theme you wish.

CAS-ual Fridays CFC74

As you can see, I am not doing 365 Cards in order these days

because some of the challenges really need a lot of thought.
Seeing CAS-ual Fridays' challenge solved it all for me.

Neon always looks better in black (as in the dark)

and I chose colors which look closest to neon.

A rather CAS card to say "hi".

Classic Chanel Inspired Card

After a few non-productive days of card making, I managed to get this one out on a late Friday evening but missed Dynamic Duos' closing (argh!!!).  I wrote a plea to the DTs for a chance to submit and hope they will consider it.

I used the colors for 365 Cards Day 214 Sketch.

 

As usual, I kept the card very simple and classic, like Audrey Hepburn in her Chanel dress.

This card is also suitable for CAS-ual Fridays CFC73 ~ For The Girls.

CAS Birthday Card Inspired by Blog Header

CFC72:  Create a project inspired by your blog header

A clean and simple birthday card from Poemsheart.

After I made a sketch out of my blog header and this card,

I realized how similar it is to Sketchbook Saturday SSC79.

Have a Woof-woof Wonderful Day

This card is made for Freshly Made Sketches FMS53

using colors from Friday Mashup FM77

which fits into CASual Fridays CFC71 Fall Fun theme

(or so I think).

  

Positioned the hand cut banners in Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade.

Ran the card through the Cuttlebug using Swiss Dots to give it a dotted treatment.

Mounted the two scalloped circles and stamped the Inkadinkado Terrier.

Have a woof-woof wonderful day!!

Black and White and ... Card ~ BOO!

It is 365 Cards Day 200 Sketch

and this card is made with CAS-ual Fridays CFC70 and Dynamic Duos DD#20 in mind.

The last few cards have been a tough call as here in Malaysia, it is always summer,

and it is either very sunny and hot or it rains dogs and cats.

There is no fall (autumn), Halloween and Thanksgiving are not celebrated here.

So once again, I had to make do with what I have and be creative.

And of course, I mashed up three (3) challenges in one.

So it is Peeka-Boo I see you time with black, white and green.

The black panel on the side is embossed with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots.

Green ribbon is tied to an X with a bow.

Used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eleven.  It looks like an explosion of sorts.

Peeka-boo is Doodlebug Designs simply sweet in limeade.

Added the googly eyes just for fun!

365 Cards Day 196 ~ Keep It Simple

I just adore CAS cards because they are just so.

I jumped into this one before Day 196 (Fringe Binge) because ...

Simplicity simply is.

So I've got lots of white (check)

simple sentiment (check)

one embellishment (check)

Translation:  

Man's Best Friend

Puppy Love

Woof woof

This card is just right for CAS-ual Fridays CFC70.

A CAS Card Made For Three or Four

One of the cards I thought I ruined turned out to good use when I decided to add some falling autumn leaves effect to the original green sprigs, like the wind carried the leaves away... and while taking a photo of the card, the wind did blow the card which had these leaves blowing in the wind.  And the embossing has the same effect of falling flowers, floating in the air...

This CAS card is made for three or even four...

Less is More Week 84 ~ Foliage

CAS-ual Fridays CFC69 ~ Embossing

Clean & Simple 206 ~ Sketch

CASology Week 10 ~ Sky

The wind caught my card on the curtain and caused the tilt

A CAS Card Made For Two

This card is made for two:-

Less is More Week 84

One Layer Card

FOLIAGE

and

CAS-ual Fridays CFC69

CFC69: Create a CAS project using embossing.  

I made two other cards which did not turn out as what I wanted before I came up with this one and I am happy with it. I drew a circle in pencil and stamped the little Hero Arts stamp around in two shades of green (Momento Dew Drop Bamboo Leaves and New Sprout) to make this lovely wreath.

Then I embossed the lower part with Sizzix Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

365 Cards Day 190 ~ Animated

Got any favorite animated characters?

I found this delightful Tigger from my sons' old collection of Disney stickers.

He is jumping for joy amongst falling autumn leaves and having a Tigger-ific time.

I used Sizzix Flowers Embossing Folder on the white card.

Cut a panel of dark brown card and a narrower white one.

Stamped the autumn leaves using Hero Arts leaf stamp.

Tied a strand of Maya Road Twine on the side.

Mounted Tigger which was glued to a white card and cut out.

The card follows Freshly Made Sketches #51 (FMS51) again.

This card is also submitted for CAS-ual Fridays CFC69 ~ Embossing.

Back to School

The latest sketch from Retro Sketches rs#27 is lovely and used it for this card with a Back to School theme for Ribbon Carousel RCC68 and CAS-ual Fridays CFC68.

The card has a fun feel with the quirky alphabet stickers and froggies.

Stamped in a heart bouquet for teacher.

The gingham ribbon completes the card.

365 Cards Day 176 ~ It's a Textural Thing

Use 3 different techniques for adding texture to your card.  They can be anything you want.  Look around at your stash, you might be surprised at all the ways you can add texture to your card.  Sometimes you'll even find items (flowers, buttons, stickers) that already have a wonderful texture to them.

Yet another plain and simple card from me.

Embossing with the Cuttlebug,

some jewels and pearls in the embossed parts,

and twine cording from Maya Road.

Popped in the label (banner) to complete the card.

This card is made with the following challenges in mind :-
CAS-ual Fridays CFC67 ~ Banners and Flags,
Cute Card Thursday Challenge 231 ~ Bling It Up,

Ribbon Carousel RCC67 ~ Bump It Up and Twine.

365 Cards Day 137 ~ Super Sketchy Sunday

Combined this challenge with CAS-ual Fridays CFC61

CFC61: Use strips of color or pattern in your Clean And Simple creation

I loved making this card, late as it is after a very busy weekend of No Cardmaking.  The stripey paper is from Raspberry Road Designs Luxury Paper Collection, and my strips of colors are the yellow and green.  Made the dahlia flower using Spellbinders die cuts on the Cuttlebug.
