Perfectly CAS Challenge #32~Think Pink...Trick-or-Treat + Witch Hat + Spider (MCT)

Hello,

Welcome to Perfectly CAS Challenge #32, where we're asking you to *Think Pink*. 


Pink has endless possibilities for occasions and, given that it's October, I went with Halloween. MCT products all the way! I also drew inspiration from Cupcakes Inspiration Challenge #554, where hot pink, black and white is the colour combination.


Please be sure to pop by my teammates' blogs, leave them some love, then play along with us!
  • 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.

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #653, where our lovely hostess, Sue, has chosen *Clean and Simple* as this week's Trend. Lots of white space, one focal point, minimal embellishments...that's the ticket to a CAS card. Yes, I know: easier said than done, right?


We're delighted to have  Lynne from  rubydoobydoocrafts joining us for her second week as our October guest designer.

My CAS card features stamps and dies from The Greetery. I'm sure you'll agree: we all need *S'More* love at Christmas...and all year round, too!


Looking forward to your CAS creations filling up the gallery!

HLS October 2022 Stencil Challenge~Anything Goes...Taylored Expressions Falling for You Thanksgiving Cards (Create-in-Quads stencil)

Hello,



I joined in - first time ever - with the Scrapbook and Cards Today's Crop & Create Delivered event. OHMYSTARS! So many new products to play with - and tutorials by several fabulous designers. Included in the 9 pound box (seriously - that's how much it weighed!) was Taylored Expressions' Triple Slim Layer Stencil - Falling for You. You can read all the details about these over at the TE site, but in a nutshell, one sheet of paper (I used 6.25 x 10.25 so I could use a Photoplay die) and four stencils nets you three mini slimline panels in literally minutes! SO COOL! I've made several....okay, more than several...as they are totally addicting! 



 
Here's the trio

Looking forward to seeing your stencil sensations in the gallery!

HLS October 2022 Birthday Challenge...The Most Amazing People are Born in October

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers October 2022 Birthday Challenge, where the theme is Anything Goes. As long as you create a birthday card, you're welcome to join us in the gallery.


My simple card relies on pretty paper and ephemera from 49 & Market. Their products are stunning! The October die cut is from Elizabeth Craft; the "I Hear..." sentiment an oldie but goodie from Concord & 9th.


This card will go to my brother, who I think is amazing!
 
Looking forward to seeing your birthday delights in the gallery!

Color Hues Challenge #50~Orange and Purple...EEK, Boo, Shriek Cross-stitch Minis

Hello,

Happy October 1st and welcome to Color Hues Challenge #50, where I've selected hues of orange and green as inspiration for the next two weeks. Of course, I have Halloween on my mind; however, as you'll see on the main blog, this combination can be in a variety of ways

Over the past couple of months, my love for cross-stitching has been rekindled, thanks in large part to multi-talented, incredibly inspiring Nicole Spohr, I have a couple delightful patterns on the  go and a whole bunch more waiting for attention. Did you know that collecting patterns is a 'thing'? Yep...and I'm certainly one who's doing so!

For this challenge, I've featured both stitching and paper-crafting with my two Eek, Boo, Shriek mini makes. So much fun (even though they took me quite a while to make, as I am the slowest stitcher EVER!). Despite the white background, the ghost is visible in real life...plus it has glow-in-the-dark floss stars. Nice to have these finished...and more to come! If you're interested, the pattern is from Primrose Cottage, where you'll find a bevy of delightful charts. 




How will Orange and Purple spark your creativity?
Looking forward to seeing you in the gallery!
