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.

Freshly Made Sketches #738

Cecile usually has simple yet interesting sketches at Freshly Made Sketches but this week's took a while for me to wrap my head around.

I used Garden Party from Spellbinder's Just Add Cake kit. It comes with the shaker domes so I had to make a shaker card, cutting the large flower from yellow and using a variety of bits in it,   Distress Mustard Seed was spread down the center before adding the flowers.  I thought the stems could represent the lines in the sketch.  I hope the team thinks so too.  This will have to be hand delivered and I know just the person.

Inkspirational #368 and Krafty Chicks #822

I had been waiting for a good golf set and Taylored Expression's new release featured just what I was looking for in Par for the Course.  Inkspirational and Krafty Chicks are both looking for masculine cards so I'm sending my card to their challenges. 

This is a die and stencil set that makes a golf course.   After stenciling the card base with the greens, water and sand traps with Altenew inks, I die cut the fairways in dark green, embossed it with Tasteful Textiles from SU and laid it over the top before adding the trees and flags.  The sentiment was printed on the computer. I also got the golf cart, bag and club sets so you'll be seeing those one day.   

I was so excited to post this card that I totally forgot to add it to Darnell's NBUS challenge, a place where all Never Before Used Stuff is welcomed.
