As You Like It Challenge #87 - Favourite Shaped or Standard Card and WHY

Hi Crafters,

These weeks are flying by so fast that I can hardly believe it's time for a new challenge at As You Like It.

We'd like you to showcase a project using your Favourite Shaped or Standard cardbase and tell us the reason WHY.

My choice was an easy one as I always go for a square card base, whatever the size, as I find that everything just fits in the space beautifully.

Top Tip Tuesday Challenge #27 - Keep It Simple

Hi Crafters,
Today I am here to share my DT card for Top Tip Tuesday.
The theme this time is 'Keep It Simple'.
Funnily enough I had made a New Years resolution to try my hand at making more CAS cards as I find them quite tricky and then low and behold both my Christmas Club Card and Top Tip Tuesday Design team challenges were for this theme. I went for a simple Thank You card as we have lots to make after receiving our Christmas gifts.

Recipe

A6 Card Blank

Hero Arts Dot Flower Pattern Stamp

Holographic Embossing Powder

Tim Holtz Distress Inks

(Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Festive Berries)

Justrite Banner Die

Justrite 'Timely Banners' Stamp

 

I love making backgrounds with distress inks and a resist technique and for this one I used Versamark ink and holographic embossing powder on the detailed hero Arts stamp, heat embossed it to give the white sparkly areas and then inked over it with three colours of Distress inks. Buffed off the ink from the embossing and voila - a beautiful background. Then I added the stamped and die cut Thank You banner. Very CAS I think this time.
