Perfectly CAS May 2021 Challenge #15~Repeat Stamping...Just an Old-Fashioned Hello, Hello, Hello

Hello,

Welcome to Perfectly CAS May 2021 Challenge #15, where this month's theme is REPEAT STAMPING. Plenty of interpretations - be it images, words, phrases - as you'll see from the designers.

My card features the debut the Call Me set from Sugar Pea. Isn't that little phone adorable! I stamped the first part of the sentiment in black, then masked and stamped the attached Hello for the repetition. Quick and relatively easy, provided one remembers to remove the inked tape before inking on the panel. Yeah...we had a couple takes before getting it smudge free. Apparently, I'm still very much a novice at stamping/masking!

Please be sure to pop by my teammates' blogs, leave them some love, then bring your Perfectly CAS Repeat Repeat Stamping *grin* creations to the gallery.

• A friendly reminder: For this challenge, we're asking you to use one-third (aka: the rule of thirds) or less on your card designs, leaving plenty of scrumptious white space (two-thirds of your panel) to draw our eyes to to your focal image. Kylie has included an easy-to-follow explanation on the challenge blog here.

Hope you're staying safe and healthy!

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS May 2021 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge...Library Card Hugs, Kisses and Love (Hero Arts)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers May 2021 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge. 

My new Hero Arts' library card dies and stamps are making their debut here, with two cards for my niece and nephew. The panels, library card and ampersand are all die-cuts. The background paper, a 6 x6 sheet from Pinkfresh, has also been awaiting 'the' perfect showcase opportunity and I decided: this is it! Fortunately, the mini slimlines meant two cards from one piece, so double score! 

That's it from me! Check out what my talented teammates have created, then bring out your dies and join us in the gallery!

Just Us Girls Challenge #583~Trend Week (Layers)...Studio Light Envelope and Mini Card (PFS Papers)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #583, where our sweet Ina has chosen *Layers* for Trend Week. Set aside the CAS and bring on your layers upon layers upon layers! 

We're delighted to have Jacinda joining us with a gorgeous, luscious-layered floral card. My teammates' creativity is, as always, impressive. If you have opportunity to drop in at their blogs to leave some love, do know that will be appreciated.

I've made an mini envelope with a mini card, using a new-to-me-die set from Studio Light, that is filled with all kinds of possibility and versatility in one collection.  The papers are from Pinkfresh Studio. I'm not versed in pairing papers, so hopefully, the combination here is pleasing to your eye. Bonus: no stamping!

Here's the set...

The envelope, with the card tucked inside... 

and the mini card.

That's it from me; looking forward to seeing how *Layers* inspires you!

HLS May 2021 Stencil Challenge~Anything Goes...Pinkfresh Studio Layered Florals Slimline

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers May 2021 Stencil Challenge, where we have free rein to show off our stencils in whatever fashion we choose. Anything goes!

I'm sharing one, of three, cards I made using a variety of Pinkfresh Studio products. Aside from the stamped outlines, everything else is stenciled. Layering stencils are soooooo cool! I've left it sentiment-free, keeping options open for a variety of occasions.

Looking forward to seeing your stencil sensations in the gallery!

HLS May 2021 Christmas Challenge~Anything Goes (optional twist: Mistletoe)...Sending S'More Love at Christmas

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers May 2021 Christmas Challenge, where Anything Goes with, should you so choose, the optional twist of mistletoe.  Even though here, in North America, summer is on the horizon, at the rate the year is flying, Christmas will be here before we know it. Time to start building our holiday stash!

Obviously, I was having a sweets craving that resulted in the making of this card (along with a bunch of Smarties!). Everything S'Mores is from The Greetery; the stenciled background from The Stamp Market. And now, as I write my post, the desire for chocolate is becoming very strong! Off to indulge...

That's it from me; please head over to the blog to see my talented teammates' festive delights.

Looking forward to seeing your Christmas makes in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS May 2021 CAS Challenge~Fun and Games...GAME ON! Hope Your Birthday is Epic!

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers May 2021 CAS Challenge, where we're inviting you to bring 'Fun and Games' to your cards/projects. 

A while back, I die cut a bunch of the game consoles from MFT and finally, I'm getting around to adding them to card bases.  Here, I'm showcasing the smaller die...complete with fiddly little buttons! They really are fun to make, even if the dots wind up all over the place before they get to where they should be. Once I had them placed, they received a coating of glossy accents; those babies are staying put! 

That's it from me; please head over to the blog to see how my talented teammates - Kylie, Lindsey, Anita, Charlotte (Lady Joyful), Ma-Mi,Bozena, Lynda (loopyloo), Julie and Ceal - interpreted this month's theme. A reminder that we're looking for CAS designs.

See you in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

The Color Hues Challenge #17~Red and Orange...Dahlia Turnabout I Appreciate You

Hello,

Can you believe it's May 1st already? Amazing how time flies!  We're starting the month off with Colour Hues Challenge #17,where we're inviting you to use hues of Red and Orange as your inspiration for the next two weeks.  

My Concord & 9th Dahlia turnabout hasn't seeing inking in a long, long while, so out it came. With four quick turns, it worked a charm for allowing me to use two hues of each challenge colour. Easy-peasy...especially with a sticker sentiment. 

Please visit the rest of the team, along with our guest designer and my Canadian friend, Tracey ; they've created quite the array of dazzling delights with Red and Orange:

Nancy

Hannelie

Cindy

Julie

Sheri

Kristie

Lindsey

Karen

The challenge is open until 9:00 AM (EST) on May 14th.

 The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live (May 16th). 

The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a 

future Guest Designer!
