Freshly Made Sketches #739

Flowers would have worked well with Karren's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches but instead of going with the expected, I went in a totally different direction with this fun card.

The dies are Birthday Brew from Spellbinders Just Add Cake kit.  I decided to go non-alcoholic and make root beer.  The sentiment is from the kit and the background is from a Honey Bee paper pack.

Just Us Girls #826 - Die Week

Carol is the host for Die Week at Just Us Girls and she would like to see a butterfly die used on our cards.

I'd like to welcome Kellianne from In My Stamp Room as our guest designer this month.  She has some softly colored and beautifully designed  cards on her blog that you'll want to take a peek at.  

As for me, my card is fairly clean and simple.

I've had this Memory Box butterfly for quite a while.  One cuts the detail that's done in Graphic foil from C9 and the other the background that is colored with Mica Sprays in Snowflurries and Winterfrost. The same colors are on the border cut with HA Rounded Rectangles. C9's Swirls Die adds a little flight movement to the main panel.  The sentiment is from The Ton. 

Now it's your turn.  For inspiration, please check out what the Design Team and our guest Kellianne have made.  They're sure to give you ideas.

The Paper Players #788

Joanne made a fun Tic Tac Toe board for us over at The Paper Players.  I picked the right column down - die cut, stenciling and layers. 

The stenciling is on the Hello Beautiful flowers from Altenew then die cut and layered.  There are more layers with The Color Block Accent Arches from the Spellbinders Just Add Cake kit.  It happens that Waffle Flower Nested Domes are the same size as the arches so that was cut in black and the accent cut in white.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

CAS Christmas June 2026

Today I'm guest designing for CAS Christmas.  That's right.  Loll has resurrected her CAS challenges and the Christmas one starts today. I happened to be the last winner before she closed down in 2022 so she invited me to be her guest on the restart.  I hope you are as excited about this news as I am.  This month's challenge is

That's an easy one since I love my birds.

The cardinal is from Honey Bee's Winter Birds, the greens from their Winter Greenery and sentiment from Let Nature Sing. The panel was lightly inked with Speckled Egg DI and a little Frantage was added for snow.  I love seeing these beautiful birds perched in the trees and also at my feeder. 

I hope you'll check out the CAS Christmas challenge and what the Design Team has made to inspire you.  You have until June 30th to enter your card in the gallery.
