Winnie & Walter & Simon Says Stamp a One Layered Rainbow in Less than 10 Minutes...

I just had to join in the fun with Winnie & Walter Share the Love featuring Simon Says Stamp. With five challenges currently on the Winnie & Walter blog (in addition to the Winnie & Walter August Release Tour with the Stars), I thought I would combine the Rainbow, One Layer and Craft Dash (create a card in less than 10 Minutes) Challenges. I am not sure exactly how long this took to make, but with my trusty timer out of batteries (maybe trusty is a bit of a misnomer!) I asked DS to turn on the kitchen timer for 10 minutes, and it hadn't gone off before I finished. Created with Winnie & Walter's The Big, The Bold & the You, paired with Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Sentiments and Momento Luxe inks in Love Letter, Morocco, Dandelion, Pear Tart and Bahamas Blue. 

Craft Dash tips:

• Choose a simple design
• Use a Fiskars stamp press (or similar) to make aligning the stamps a breeze!

A-Muse-ing CAS(E) of Winnie & Water...

Inspired by this weeks gorgeous MUSE card by Marion, together with the colours from Winnie & Walter's Playdate #3 and this super versatile CAS(E) this Sketch. Stamping Winnie & Walter's Scenery V for Chevron in bands of Momento Luxe Dandelion, Morocco, Rose Bud and Lilac Posies, with the metallic sheet banner from Add a Little Dazzle in Lovely Lavender, stamped and embossed in Zing White with Winnie & Walter's The Big, The Bold & You sentiment, and a triple layer Simon Says Stamp Butterfly in two layers of vellum on a base of white cardstock, with a Kaisercraft pearl to finish.

  

Remember there's still almost 5 days to play along with Addicted to CAS Geometric too!

Addicted to CAS and Geometric - August Guest Designer

So happy to be back Guest Designing with the fabulous 

Addicted to CAS team this fortnight!

With the Addicted to CAS code word Geometric, 
I had so many ideas I ended up making two cards today!


Winnie and Walter Pennant triangle stamps are FABULOUS for this challenge! 
The sun was created by stamping the pennant triangles in Dandelion and Morocco Momento Luxe inks, with a die cut circle as the centre, stamped with this very fitting Verve sentiment.

The second card uses this gorgeous geometric giraffe and crazy sentiment by Altenew, stamped in Versamark Watermark and heat embossed in Zing Pewter, and randomly filled with these three fabulous bright Color Throwdown colours. The triangle chunks were cut by snipping the card at a right-angles to the side, then cutting along the top half of the triangle, and flipping that cut piece over as a mirror reverse template, to make ensure the larger triangle ended up equilateral.

Remember to visit the Addicted to CAS Challenge blog for some more 

gorgeous Geometric inspiration from the team!

FUSION & Plan Bee...

This fortnights FUSION card started out as a watercolour card - and totally did not turn out as expected - so, quite literally, it was onto Plan Bee, LOL!

The bright yellow and black stripes in the photo on the far left just reminded me of a big bumble bee! The yellow stripes were created by stamping Avery Elle's Brushed in Momento Luxe Dandelion ink, over-stamped with this super cute Paper Smooches Giddy Bug bee, and The Crafts Meow Thanks Bee to Thee sentiment, then added some googly eyes and polka-dotted ribbon from my stash.

How will you be inspired by this fortnights FUSION - will you use this fabulous layered sketch, or pull inspiration from these bright floral photos, or BOTH?!? 

How to join in the fun...

1. Play with just the sketch challenge.

2. Play with just the inspiration photo challenge.

3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.

4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.

5. Please read the other considerations on the Our Rules Page before playing along.

Can't wait to see how you will be inspired by this fortnights FUSION!

KIS Bright Spark...

Hope you have a relaxing Easter, we'll be having a short internet-free break away with friends :)

I hope you have time to play along with this fortnights KIS Challenge! It's my turn to choose the theme and I chose Bright Spark - create something bright and/or sparkly. I have focused on bright, using Momento Luxe Inks in Dandelion, Morocco and Rose Bud to stamp these gorgeous brush strokes from Paper Smooches Positive Strokes, together with these cute masked and pop dotted Mama Elephant Pandamonium pandas. The sentiment from Paper Smooches Giddy Bug was stamped over the top in Momento Tuxedo Black, and a few coloured sequins for a bit of added sparkle (thanks Cecilia!)

I hope you are inspired and take a look at the rest of the 

cards from the fabulous Keep It Simple DT.

Hope you get a chance to play along - can't wait to see what you create!


Playing along with Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect Challenge too.

A CAS(E) of Peace on Earth...

Clearly Besotted Pretty Poinsettia poinsettia and sentiment and Background Builder music combined to create this simple Christmas greeting.  I love Momento Luxe Olive Grove and Love Letter inks for traditional Christmas stamping.  Playing along with this fortnights fabulous CAS(E) this Sketch, Festive Friday Peace Trigger Challenge, and if I'm not too late, Little Red Wagon Off the Edge.
