AAA Colourful - colourboard #28

Hello Crafty Friends,

A new colourboard challenge is up and running over at AAA Colourful, and this month we want to you to create paper craft projects using the colours -

Purples, Blues and White

A colour combination I found to be very tricky. The challenge inspiration image made me think of space, but I didn't want to go that route. I tried a few different ideas, but nothing felt right...... so I almost gave up. I am still waiting for my creative to come back, it seems to have taken a very long and drawn out break. In the end, I managed to create a simple card, and here it is

The starting point for this card was the peacock which I stamped, die cut and coloured. I know they are more blue and green, but I think purple and blue works just as well. After die cutting my card panel I die cut a heart on it. I placed a piece of cardstock I had embossed behind the heart opening to give it a little more interest. The peacock was placed infront of the heart and I stamped a sentiment. To add some more colour to my card I decided to give the panel a border, that I had ink blended to match the purple of the peacock. The finished panel was attached to a card base and I had a card! 

Products used for my card
Stamp set: "peacock before 'n afters" by Lawn Fawn

Die sets: "peacock before 'n afters", "small dotted rectangle stackables", "outside in stitched heart stackables" all by Lawn Fawn

AAA Birthday Card challenges Game #59 - Geometric

 Hi Hello Good Morning/ Afternoon/ Evening,

Hope everyone is doing well!

Can you believe it's already the 1st of March? The first month of Spring (I hope)! March can be a month of winter aswell as a month of spring here in the south of Sweden. I'm crossing my fingers and hope for spring! One thing is certain, and that is that it is time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday. This month's theme was chosen by our design team member Vicki, and the theme is

Geometric

so for the month of March we would like to see birthday cards with geometric shapes, see challenge card further down. Here is my take 

For this card I have gone with a geometric butterfly as my focal point. I started by die cutting the butterfly out of some black cardstock, and adhered it to a white panel. At first I was going to leave it as is, but then I decided to fill in the openings on the butterfly. I found a piece of scrap paper from the last time I played with my alcohol inks, and die cut a second butterfly from it. I picked out the small pieces from inside the butterfly and placed them into the openings on the black butterfly on my card panel. I thought about filling all the spaces but I really liked how it looks with some left empty. I stamped a birthday greeting, gave the panel a black border and glued it all to a card base.

Products used
Die: "Origami Butterfly D180516" by Gummiapan
Stamp set: "FikaErika" by hÄnglar&Wings
Papers: from my stash
Alcohol inks by Ranger and by pentart

I hope you'll join us in this fun challenge! You have until the 31st of March to create, upload and link your geometric inspired birthday card to the AAA Birthday challenge blog.

Need more inspiration, and/ or information on how to play along? Head on over to the challenge blog. It is filled with beautiful birthday cards by the design team and our special guest designer for the month, Karen Rogers. Don't forget to visit their blogs/ social media and show them some love!

I started by die cutting a card panel, and then some hearts along one side of the panel. I stamped and heat embossed a birthday greeting to the panel. I added a piece of scrap paper, leftover from playing with my alcohol inks, behind the hearts. I gave the panel a thin black border before adding it to my card front. Three little enamel dots and my card was done.

AAA Birthday Card challenges Game #58 - Hearts

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's the 1st of February and time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday Card challenges. The theme for the month, chosen by me this time, is

Hearts

Please see challenge card further down.

When I first chose the theme I had all these ideas of what I would create, but then when I sat down to make my card they were all gone and I had no idea of what to do. I started going through my stash and found this stamp set with hearts by hÄnglar & Wings. I love this set and decided to create a CAS (clean and simple) birthday card using the beautiful hearts. The actual card took me minutes to make, but the prossess to get there took forever. That's just how it is sometimes, you get struck by "crafters block". The good thing is after making this card it was like the block just lifted and my creativity came back in full swing.

The sentiment on the card reads "Happy Birthday" in Swedish.

Products used
Stamp sets: "Hjärtan" and "Grattiskombinationer #2" both by hÄnglar&Wings
Inks: Distress Oxide inks by Tim Holtz/ Ranger and VersaFine Clair "Nocturne" by Tsukineko
Die: "Small Dotted Rectangles Stackables" by Lawn Fawn

I hope you are inspired to play along with us. I can recommend a visit to AAA Birthdays challenge blog which is fill with beautiful heart filled inspiration by our two guest designers for the month, Karen Walker and Liz Cavill, and my amazing DT colleagues. They have all put me to shame, especially our guest designers, so don't forget to visit their blogs/social media and give them some love.

Now that you have checked out all the amazingness on the challenge blog, it's your turn to show us your take on this heart filled birthday card challenge. You have until February 29th to create, upload and link you birthday card to the AAA Birthday Card challenge blog. Hope to see you there!

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!

This is my last card for the AAA Cards Challenge as a member of the Design Team as I've decided to step down from the team. It's been a difficult decision to make, and I thought long and hard before making it, but my life is very busy and with there being a new challenge every two weeks I have struggled with finding the time to keeping up with the duties of being a DT member. I will miss everyone at AAA Cards, it's been so inspiring being a member of the team and I've learned so much from everyone. Thank you so much! An extra thank you to Maaike for running the challenges! I wish all the DT members, old, present and new, all the best for the future!

I will also miss all of you who play along with the challenges, and I promise you are in for some really fun challenges next year, and the inspiration from the DT is amazing (I've had a sneak peek of most of their work for next year)!

An extra big THANK YOU to eveyone who has taken the time to comment on my AAA Cards blog posts!

I will continue to create and I'm still on the Design Team for AAA Birthday, AAA Cards sister challenge, so you are all very welcome back here to the blog for inspiration, and I wouldn't say "no" to a comment or two 😉

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!

AAA Cards Challenge 254 - Black, White and Gold

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's time for a new CAS card challenge at AAA Card challenges.
The theme for the fortnight is

Black, White and Gold

please see challenge card further down.


Here's my take on the challenge

With Christmas approaching, and inspired by the challenge card, I decided to make a Christmas card. I die cut a circle of stars on a piece of white cardstock, placed a piece of sparkly gold paper behind the cut out stars, and addhered the whole thing to a black card base. I die cut a Christmas greeting from black cardstock and glued it to my card. Maybe a few more layers than normal for a CAS card, but it is almost Christmas and for Christmas a little bit extra is OK in my book 😉

I could have made it more CAS by stamping and heat embossing the stars in gold on a card front and addhered it to a black card base, or even better only used a white card base and stamped and heat embossed the stars in gold and stamped and heat embossed a black sentiment directly on the card base. But as I said "it's almost Christmas..."

Products used
Dies: "Patterned Frames - Stars SBD057" by Simple and Basic and "God Jul" by PY Hobby
Papers: Cardstock in black and white, Glitter paper all from my stash

The AAA Cards challenge blog is filled with beautiful cards by the talented design team, so head on over to be inspired. We can't wait to see your CAS card creations in black, white and gold. 

You have until December 9th to create, upload and link you card to the challenge blog. Hope to see you there!

Autumn leaf and gelli plate

 Hello,

Today I'm sharing a card I made after having a play with my gelli plate.

I'm new to gelli plate printing and have only tried creating a few backgrounds before, but this time I was inspired by the current challenge at AAA Cards

Fall/ Leaves

So I went out into the garden and picked a few leaves to play around with together my my gelli plate. As AAA Cards is all about CAS (clean and simple) cards with lots of white (could be any colour) space I went with a single leaf for my first print, and card.

I made the print directly on a card base, and added an autumn greeting.

There is still time to join in this fun challenge over on AAA Cards challenge blog. You have until November 25th to create, upload and link your autumnal cards to the challenge blog.

Hope you'll join us!

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's time for a new Clean and Simple (CAS) card challenge at AAA Cards Challenges,
and the theme for the fortnight is

Fall/ Leaves

Here's my take

My card is a one layer card with lots of 'white' (empty, can be any colour) space on it, just the way we like it at AAA Cards. I've only used two stamps, ink and some markers for this card, so very quick and easy. The sentiment reads 'It's a comfort/consolation that autumn is so beautiful' (free translation)

AAA Cards Challenge 248 - Add a Tag or Ticket

 Good Morning/Evening,

It's time for a new challenge at AAA Cards, and this fortnight we want you to

Add a Tag or Ticket

to your CAS card, see challenge card further down.


Here's my take on the challenge

I started by doing a bit of ink blending through a stencil on a card panel. Then I cut out a tag from the panel, stamped with a word stamp using the same ink as I ink blended with. I placed the tag inside the hole on the panel and stamped some flowers using an embossing ink and sprinkled over some Distress Glaze in the same colour as the ink I used previously. I heat embossing the flowers and addhered the panel to a card. The tag got a string and some 3D foam on the back before being attached to the card.

AAA Cards Challenge 247 - Sketch for a teen card

Hello,

I hope so as today is the start of a new challenge at AAA Cards,

Sketch for a teen card

please see the challenge card further down.


Here's my take on the challenge

To create my card I started by creating  two stencils, one of a basketball player and one of a basketball. I ink the basketball player through the stencil using some black ink and masked him of before ink blending the two basketballs to go behind him.

AAA Cards Challenge 246 - Sketch + optional twist A Baby card

 Good Morning/Evening,

It's time for a new CAS Card challenge at AAA Cards,
and this fortnight we have a

sketch

for you, please see the challenge card further down.
 There is an optional twist of a Baby card, but as said it's optional.

Here's my take on the challenge

I decided to skip the optional twist since I have no need for a baby card at the moment. I have some people close to me who are/will be making changes in their lives, which can be a bit scary, so I decided to create a card of encouragement instead. I stamped and heat embossed some cute little butterflies in a rainbow of colours. I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment "without change there would be no butterflies". A quick and easy, clean and simple, CAS, card.

Product used
Stamp sets: "Antisocial Butterfly" by Visible Image, "Sittande Larv" by hÄnglar & Wings
Inks: VesaFine CLAIR "Charming Pink", "Summertime", "Cheerful", "Blue Belle", "Purple Delight" and "Nocturne"

AAA Birthday Game #52 - Anything Birthday Goes

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's the 1st of August and time for a new fun challenge at AAA Birthday,
and the theme of the month is

Anything Birthday Goes 


and here's my take

Ohh, this theme was a bit tricky. I had a hundred ideas, but didn't know which one to go with. In the end I thought why not go with something I love, I love peonies and I love clean and simple cards, CAS cards, and all of a sudden it was easy. I stamped and heat embossed this beautiful peony on a card panel. To colour the flower I have used Lunar Paste that I diluted with water to create a shiny watercolour. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, and mounted the panel on a piece of black cardstock before adhering it to the card front. The shine on the flower looks really pretty in real life.

Products used
Stamps: "Unfurling Petals #273" by Olga Heldwein/ Aall & Create, "FikaErika" by hÄnglar & Wings
Ink: VersaFine CLAIR " Nocturne" by Tsukineko

I started of by stamping the text in the background with a green distress oxide, I then stamped the swirly vines on top using embossing ink and sprinkled it with green embossing glaze before heat embossing it. The sentiment "Grattis/ Congrats" is an old die cut I found in my stash.

AAA Cards Challenge 239 - Choose a side

 Hello and Good Morning/afternoon/ evening,

Are you ready for a new CAS card challenge?
I hope you are, as today is the start of a new challenge over at AAA Cards.
This time we would like you to 

Choose a Side

Hot or cold, which side of the colour wheel do you prefer?
I love them both, but for this challenge I could only pick one

As you can see I picked the cold side for this card, purples and greens to be exact. I love both purple and green, and as I've been playing a lot with hot/warm colours lately I felt it was time for a "cool" card.

The challenge blog over at AAA Cards is filled with beautiful CAS cards in hot or cold colours, created by the amazing design team and our talented guest designer for this challenge, Hannelie. So why not head on over to AAA Cards challenge blog for some more inspiration for your own hot or cold CAS card?! You have until May 13th to create, upload and link your card to the challenge blog. Hope you'll join us! Remember we want to see CAS cards, for definition please see below

If you want to know what products I've used and how I created my card, please keep reading.

Products used for my card
Stamp sets: "Delicate Floral Print" by Pinkfresh Studio, "Ännu mer Grattis" by hÄnglar & Wings
Stencils: "Delicate Floral Print" by Pinkfresh Studio
Inks: Distress Oxides " Shaded Lilac", "Villainous potion", "Twisted Citron", "Evergreen Bough" by Tim Holtz/ Ranger and VeraFine Clair "Nocturne" by Tsukineko
Die: "Outside In Stitched Rectangle" by Lawn Fawn
Embellishments: Enamel Dots " transparent" by Nellie's choice

I started by die cutting my card panel out of some white cardstock before stamping my flowers and leaves. As the "Delicate Floral Print" stamp is a "background" stamp I had the to cover the flowers the stamp that I didn't want to stamp before inking it up. I removed the "mask" and stamped the flowers and leaves I'd inked in one corner of the panel. I got out the coordinating stencils and inked the flowers and leaves. So quick and easy with stamps and stencils that coordinate! I stamped the sentiment and added some enamel dots to the panel, adhered it to the card base and my card was done.

I hope you've been inspired to play along with the challenge as I would love to see your CAS card in hot or cold colours!

Thank you for taking the time to read all the way here, I really appreciate it!
