CAS card!

Quick post to share a card I made early this evening.   I've been working my Big Shot cutting up some dies, and decided to whip up this card...

It actually took me like 10 minutes to put it together, LOL!

Stanley and bone!

Here's Stanley and bone from Digi Stamp Boutique, his one of those digital images in a set.... Love the cuteness of this image and just so easy to put together.   All I did was colored him with some Spectrum noir markers, added some washi tape to the angle of my card added some gold pearls, glossy accents to his nose and colored my sentiment that I purchased from Island Scrapbooking a while back....CAS just the way I like my cards, his going right into my stash box too!

Well that's it for now, working on a stamp card and will be back soon!

Brown Sugar Challenge#70!

Happy Friday and weekend peeps~
Hope everyone of you are content to the gizzards from your turkey feast,  and also did some crazy shopping whether on-line or fighting the madness where ever you went.    
We went turkey hopping to (4) families started off with breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.   Of course I was already content when we had brunch.   I started light on breakfast pumpkin pancakes and coffee.   Boy was they good!  Brunch took it all, I had a big turkey Cesar salad and I was content with that.  No room for lunch, and dinner was a small bowl of turkey soup. 
Anyhow it's back to a new challenge over at Brown Sugar Challenge with the theme: Thank You.   For this challenge we are sponsored by:

Here is my card for this challenge:

Supplies used:
Digital image - supplied by sponsor

Mochi - Yum yum!

Mochi, who doesn't love eating them here on the islands.  Although we don't pound ours we do the modern way either microwave or using the mochiko flour.    Just as yummy and a favorite in the family.   Mieko is one the newest stamps from Sister Stamps, LLC  quick and simple to be colored and it didn't take me long to get this card together.   Added some washi tapes,  pearls, stickles, laser cherry blossoms from Island Scrapbooking, Copic and memento  markers, sentiment from Die-Namics and wah lah!.  

Time to do some cleaning in my craft room and get down to some heavy crafting later.  
Thanks for taking the time to peek in, and hope I got you inspired.

A Thank you card !

I'm back with another quick posting, I made this thank you card early this morning for a dear blogging friend that sent me my happy mail last week for winning her blog candy.    I was surprised to receive my box filled with Close to my Heart Scrapbooking craft supplies....  It's almost a similarity to Stampin Up but wow I was stoked just mesmerizing my goodies.   A while back while I was blog hopping I ran across someone that had a card that caught my eye, and I saved the image because I knew  I wanted to try and  make this card one day... They were no instructions on how to do it so I just figured it out and it was actually a very simple card to make.    BTW the  flower stamp and sentiment is from the Spring My Acrylix set from Close to my Heart.
All I did was cut a white cardstock 4 1/4" x 8 1/2 " , I measured the center point which was at 2 3/4" put that on my Fiskars and cut it on an angle, so then now it looks like an envelope. I used my EK border punch cut two 5" strips and used double stick tape just to tack it down.  I took a piece of scrap paper that was already cut at 4" x 5 1/4" ran that through my Big Shot with my Cuttlebug embossing folder, that I double stick tape under my flap and adhered it to my colored cardstock.... I was in a rush and didn't take a pics of how it looks like inside but it's neat.... I stamped the flower four times with Stampin Up Pixie Pink, fussy cut  and added dimensions to give it that raise look.  I will be making more and will get better pics so you can see what it looks like.  I already  dropped this card off at the Postal office to be mailed out this morning.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Hope all is Merry & Bright!

Origami Diamond Fold Card /R.A.K

Here's a new card pattern that I attempt to do today, since I like the way it turned out I made a total of three..  It was very easy to do, I'm not sure if any of you tried doing this pattern, but I found doing it with CS is a little hard to work with... So instead I used pattern paper and it folds and creases better and you get a better diamond shape on both ends of the cards... It took me two attempts with the CS and I said forget it, unless you use the thinner CS maybe that would work out - who knows until you try it... For the pattern paper it doesn't matter if it's double sided because with the folds you will only see one side of the pattern...

This also would be great to make for an invitation too!  So here they are:

Stamp is sitting Tilda, colored with copic markers, added Sandylion essential stickers, ribbon

Marvy Uchida Scallop punch and digi image for the stool.

Sentiment (Hello) from Hero arts and cleared embossed, MS scallop rectangular, digi image inked with copic markers,

sentiment inside of card is from Lawn Fawn and ribbon.

Digi image colored with copic markers, Spellbinders (Floral Doily Motifs), gems , stickles and

sentiment from Hero arts collections... BTW all the pattern paper is from Target...

My last card is a R.A.K. I received in the mail today, it was from a great BF Cyndi.. Thank you sweetheart for creating this pretty Thank you card.  Look how cute this is, love the coloring and she is one of my fav stamps too...Hugs Cyndi!

Well the weekend is already approaching, so wishing you all a happy & safe weekend..

For all you die hards - keep on crafting..

Toodles for now and be back soon!

Hugs to all of you!
