Krafty Chicks Challenge #647: CAS

 Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Are you ready for this week's challenge? I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS, as in Clean And Simple. Here's my card:

Aren't these owl so stinking cute?? When I saw this stamp set at On Stage way back in November, I knew I was going to buy it. They are so fun to colour; this time I used Stampin' Blends, my all time favourite colouring medium. I almost have the whole collection! Arranged like that on my card, kind of makes me think of siblings: first (the oldest) thinks up a plan, the second (middle child) gets in enough trouble on his own so isn't doing it and sends of the baby, the third (youngest) with all his charm goes off to execute and gets away with it. Lol! Maybe I'm reading too much into this.

I'm also playing along with the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #502. I just turned my card landscape instead.

Supplies I used:

• Adorable Owls stamp set: 160269 (Free with a $60 order before February 28, 2023)
  
• Memento ink pad: 132708
  
• Balmy Blue ink pad: 147105
• Crumb Cake ink pad: 147116
• Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Balmy Blue: 154830
• Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Crumb Cake: 154882
• Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Daffodil Delight:154883
• Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Pumpkin Pie: 154897
• Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Smokey Slate: 154904
  
• Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Gray Granite: 154886 
• Thick Basic White card stock: 159229
• Balmy Blue card stock: 146982
  
• Blending Brushes: 153611
• Paper Snips Scissors: 103579
• Brushed Metallic Dots: 156506
  
• Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
  

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope just as CAS. I simply added card stock and coloured an owl.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #638: CAS

 Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Are you ready for this week's challenge? I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS, as in Clean And Simple. Here's my card:

 

Last weekend I was in Vancouver BC, Canada for a Stampin' Up! event called On Stage. There were over 250 demonstrators (a few from State side too) in attendance. It was wonderful! It's an event where you can meet up with old friends, make new friends, get recognized for your achievements (I got to walk across the stage for my $100,000 Sales Milestone), watch presentations on upcoming product, learn a few tricks and a few business tips too, and the best part: flip through the new January-April Mini Catalogue.

This is one of the Prize Patrol giveaways. We all got one! This stamp set will be available starting January 4th, 2023 in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. It's a Level 2 product, which means you'll need to spend at least $120 to get it for FREE. Don't you love that word! It's also a Two-Step Stamp, which means you stamp the outline first then stamp the filler. I kind of like that I missed making it perfect and coloured outside the lines. Very forgiving!

I also used a decorative mask in the background. I kept it light as it is suppose to be CAS but I have a hard time with all the white space. It's a cool compromise I think.

Supplies I used:

• Beautifully Happy stamp set: coming January 4th (160804, FREE with qualifying order)
  
• Daffodil Delight ink pad: 147094
• Flirty Flamingo ink pad: 147052
• Granny Apple Green ink pad: 147095
• Coastal Cabana ink pad: 147097
  
• Thick Basic White card stock: 159229
• Paper Snip Scissors: 103579
• Artistic Mix Decorative Masks: 159178
• Blending Brushes: 153611
• Water Painters: 151298
  
• Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
  

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope just as CAS. Pretty much just repeated thethe mask and the flower stamp with a few splatters.
