CAS-ual Fridays Challenge 135

Welcome to the first CAS-ual Fridays challenge for 2015! Michele has some fabulous challenges in store for you this year, and we're starting off with a good one! 

Here's what I came up with:

I don't often use felt, and I don't have very many sequins (to tell you the truth, I've never bought sequins for cardmaking - the ones I use have either been given to me as a gift, or have come as a freebie with a stamp purchase!) But I managed to find some blue adhesive-backed felt pieces big enough for diecutting, and some clear sequins in my stash (yes, there is an up-side to never throwing anything away! LOL!)

 I used CAS-ual Fridays 4 Petal Set Fri-Dies,  Christmas Carols stamp set, and Wonderful Words stamp set. The butterfly bodies are cut down to be smaller from a Memory Box die called "Moonlight butterfly".

Make sure you drop on over to CAS-ual Fridays to check out what the rest of the design team has come up with, and join in with the fun!

Baby elephant card

This is my 2nd post for today - to see my "A Blog Named Hero/Wplus9" post, click HERE.

I've had - let's say - a *difficult* week this week.  "Difficult" is not exactly the word that first pops to mind, but I'm sure you can extrapolate.  Anyway, I had made a list of challenges I wanted to participate in this week, and didn't seem to get around to many of them!  So I decided that I would forget the world tonight and make some cards to fit a couple of challenges.

For this card, I started with a plain white panel and added some scored grid lines for some texture, then stamped overlapping words and sponged on some colour.  I added a simple sentiment and a very cute feltie elephant from Sassafras, and I was done. 

I'll be submitting this card to Lawnscaping's Monochromatic challenge, Just Us Girls Grid Technique challenge, Moxie Fab World's Ready Made Embellishments challenge, and CAS on Sunday Baby card challenge.

 Thanks for visiting - have a lovely day :)

A merry set of Christmas cards, and some exciting news!!!!

Hello, everyone - today I have 4 cards to share with you, and a very exciting piece of news!!

But, first, the cards.  I have had a set of little felt embellishments from American Crafts in my stash since last Christmas, so I decided it was high time to use them!

I'll be submitting the first card to Addicted to CAS challenge - SNOW


And, now for the exciting news!!  EXCITING?!?!?  

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Stay tuned for more info soon!!!
Have a great day!!

Poppy, text and some felty dimension

For this card, I started with a strip of paper from Papertrey Ink's "Simply Jane" collection. Then I cut the red felt by hand into 5 hearts, the arranged them into a poppy with a Stampin' Up button in the middle. I finished with (part of) a sentiment from the Hero Arts Clear set, "Year Round Sentiments". 

I combined a few challenges (again) for this card - Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger, plus CAS-ual Friday's Text Me, and Lawnscaping's Use Dimension Challenge. 

I hope you're having a lovely day :)
