I hope you are having a good weekend and enjoying some crafty time. As it was half term this week I had a bit of a chance to catch up with myself and make a few cards for fave challenges in to the bargain!
First up I have a card for CASology where the cue card is Cure:
Quite a few people at work are struggling at the moment with coughs and colds which, so far, I have managed to avoid. These stamps and sentiments from Paper Smooches are just perfect for this time of year :) I simply paper pieced the box of tissues and added a strip of patterned paper at the bottom of the card.
I also wanted to play along with the masculine challenge over at AAA cards. I do need lots of boy cards so this was a good opportunity to add to my stash. I used a fab new sentiment die from Stamplorations and a star from MFT. They are popped on fun foam and covered in glossy accents. I inked through a stencil in blue and combined with some grungy Stamplorations stamps. I will also add this card to Simon's Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes and at Stamplorations October CAS Challenge:
I REALLY should be getting on with Christmas cards but am not feeling sufficiently festive yet. Maybe once Halloween is out of the way :)
Thanks, as always, for stopping by,

Ha ha no need to apologise we just think alike and with this stamp set you are limited to use it in certain ways...but do love the graphic style of it don't you ? And love the matching strip of paper on yours, it tied it together beautifully x
ReplyDeleteLove the chevron paper used so perfectly here! So glad you were able to play along with us at CASology this week, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! TWO great cards...great that you found some time to play! I love the chevron tissue box, what a classic get well card! So CAS and sure to cheer up someone who is not feeling too well. Your boy birthday card is fabulous, too...love the graphic feel and that fun die cut sentiment! Thanks for playing along at CASology!

Darling little box of tissues, Sarah, and I love how the birthday font and star are of similar feel. They look wonderful popped with foam and the gloss added.
ReplyDeleteA pair of awesome cards, Sarah! Love your repetition of chevron along the base of the card to match your tissue box AND love the strong, graphic feel of your masculine card! You had a good weekend by the looks of things! :-) SO glad you had time to join us at CASology this week! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic guy card!!!! Love all of the elements - the glossy sentiment, the stencilling, the grunge. I love it! Thanks so much for linking up and playing along with us at AAA Cards.

What a cool, grungy, masculine card, Sarah ... the shine on the star and 'birthday' are fantastic against the graphic stencilling! Love that sweet CASilicious tissue box ... so cute and clever ... and such a brilliant take on the cue card! Seems I wasn't the only one who thought so ... congratulations on your top spot at CASology! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeletePerfect grungy CAS design ... love that die cut ... so glad you joined us at STAMPlorations.
