Krafty Chicks Challenge #790: CAS

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Are you ready for this week's challenge?? On the third week of the month, I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS. I always have a difficult time with the true CAS design of lots of white space but I've come to realized after all this time that there's a wide interpretation to CAS (Clean And Simple). So just have fun with it.

#??? CAS

This card was created for a very dear young lady who is becoming a beautiful teenager. Her favourite colour is light purple. And in case you don't know: I'm not a fan of purple unless it's a flower but I do LOVE this card. 

The close up shows all the texture that makes this card so great, from the torn edges to the embossing folder, even the dimension on the 13.

No card is complete without finishing the inside with a coordinating image. Same goes for the envelope. Keep it simple!

Krafty Chicks Challenge #789: CHRISTMAS

 Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Welcome to week 2 of our challenges and that's to use a CHRISTMAS or any holiday/winter theme on your project. I chose to put the spotlight on Christmas this week!

 #789 CHRISTMAS

I was playing with a One Sheet Wonder (OSW) pattern a few weeks ago. I featured the cards in my Facebook Group: Diane's Craft Space. As you know I embellish the inside and the envelopes for most of my cards. And now that I've switched to different envelopes (to keep the cost down), I had a bit of left over pieces that I just didn't want  to throw out. so I assemble the triangle bits to fit the background pattern. Almost zero waste! 

 Products used:

• Stamp Set: Nests of Christmas (Paper Pumpkin October 2024)
• Card Stock: Thick Basic White, Cherry Cobbler
• DSP: Elegant Pine Snowflakes
• Ink Pads: Memento Black, Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie 
• Stampin' Blends: Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie
• Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals
   

 To keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple, I  added a little more DSP. Quick and easy and done.

 

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for CHRISTMAS week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #788: BIRTHDAY

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Holy Moley! It's now October, which means fall or autumn. Where did the time go?? Week one has a BIRTHDAY theme on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Create any paper craft with a birthday theme, male, female, kids, card, scrapbook or even home decor. We hope to see you in the gallery. Now let's get started with the challenge.

#788 BIRTHDAY

I was just having fun in my craft space one evening, I even dug out my stencils. When I saw the honeycomb one, I knew I had to use it. I used some yellow and orange ink and added a touch of Cajun Craze for the shading. The bees I had left over from an older Paper Pumpkin kit. Just what the card needed to finish it off..

Here's a close up:

Products used are mostly Stampin' Up! such as card stock, ink and even the retired dots. Only the stencil and the die cut sentiment are off brand. Not even sure which company as I stored it out of it's packaging. I do know they are a few years old , so it's most likely unavailable for purchase. 

 

No card is complete without finishing the inside of the card and the envelope. Keep it simple with a little more stencilling and a coordinating image.
