CAS One Layer Card Challenge

Well, yikes.  CAS I can do, but one layer also?  That's tricky.  C'est la vie...here's my attempt at a very CAS one layer card with a Christmas Flora theme...


The lighting doesn't show it well, but there is a dry embossed line on all sides.  I can't say that this is my fave card, but that's what challenges are all about - trying new things.

This is for the Less Is More #407 challenge.

Cheers!

Creepy Bunny ATC

It's been a long time since I've tackled some ATCs.  I joined a swap over on SwapBot with a "Creepy Doll" theme.  This bunny from Stampotique came to mind right away.  😀


I used alcohol markers, dye ink and Distress ink to make this little dude came to (after) life.  I'm adding it to Stampotique's "Black, White & one other color" Challenge, too.

Happy Halloween!

Party Animal Birthday Card

My sister's birthday is coming up and I think she'll get a chuckle out of this.  That is...if she isn't annoyed that I'm reminding her that she's another year older. 😁



I'm entering this in the Less Is More #406 and the MFT Birthday sentiment challenges.

Cheers!

Elves In The Attic

I initially started this blog as a way to share the creations I make for my Etsy shop.  It went a little sideways soon after that as I got wrapped up in creating for creating's sake and dove into artist trading cards (so cool...traded with people all over the world), mixed media, participating in crafty challenges and became a member of a stamping company design team.  Since it's been a while, I thought that I'd share some of the goodies I've added to my Etsy shop, ElvesInTheAttic.

This is a fall-inspired card that can be used in so many ways...Happy Thanksgiving, just because, thank you, miss you, thinking of you...

I LOVE interactive cards.  What a fun way to send a greeting!  Here is a Birthday card perfect for somebody with a winter birthday or who likes to hit the slopes.
You can find this one HERE

And then this one just makes me laugh.  You have a friend that this is perfect for, right?

Now, don't cringe.  I know Halloween isn't even here yet, but there are some Christmas and Hanukkah items in the shop.  Find them (and lots more!) in the Autumn/Winter Holidays section.  Shop early and avoid the rush!  😁





Thanks for stopping by.  Did you get all the way to the end?  I'm impressed!  As a Thank You from the elves and I use code IheartEITA to get 10% off your total purchase.  (Offer valid 10/13/19-11/15/19 - because my sister's birthday is on the 15th.  😉)

MFT Color Challenge 127

Holy moly...it's been 3 months since my last post!!  Yikes.  I've been home form work with The Crud for a few days giving me some time to sit in the studio and get busy.  I decided to get The Muse in gear by making a card for the latest MFT Color Challenge.



I liked the challenge of using orange on a holiday card (and that sentiment set was dying to be cracked open).

Hopefully you'll be seeing more posts from me.  It's time to start creating!  Thanks for stopping by.
