Shine Brightly–Catered Crop Quickfire

Hey, everyone! I have a CAS card today that will be shared on the Catered Crop blog since I was lucky enough to be one of the challenge winners last week! Woot!!

This week’s challenge is to use sequins and I love me some sequins :) I’d been wanting to use the Die-namics Sun Ray again so I got it out and paired it with LJD On the Line. My card base is Berrylicious card stock and I used Lemon Drop card stock for the sun rays. I popped them up on an insane amount of foam tape—overkill, no doubt! I cut a circle with Die-namics Circle STAX and stamped the sentiment with Black Licorice ink, then added some of my new Ranger Distress Glitter in Rock Candy around the edge. It does indeed shine IRL. To finish it off, I scattered a few sequins.

I stamped another sentiment on the inside:



And there you have it! Be sure to check out the challenge at Catered Crop and join the fun!

Congratulations–CTD #243

Hi, everyone, it’s Color Throwdown day and the fabulous Denise has a great color combo for us based on her FUN inspiration piece!




On a Sweet Tooth card stock base and layer, I stamped a sentiment from Big Greetings with Black Licorice ink. Then I popped up a Die-namics Peek-a-Boo Trio panel, also from Sweet Tooth card stock. Then I cut out three Die-namics Butterflies from patterned paper and popped them up, as well. They have button bodies—the yellow is a Lemon Drop button and the Green is a Gumdrop Green button.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:

You Rocked It!!! C4C #177

Hi, everyone, and Happy Saturday! It’s Crazy 4 Challenges time and today Frances has a sketch for us.




So, I went A2 (no surprise, there, right?) and decided to work with a recent MFT release, LLD Document It – Rock On, and Die-namics Accent It – Rock and Roll. I decided this rock and roll set needed some rockin’ paper for the design. I knew I had this old Memory Box paper called Glitteratti that would be perfect.

After I did the base card, I added a star from the die set cut from Red Hot card stock, and added some black bling. Hey, it’s a rocker card! I stamped the hand image on a Die-namics Masculine Graphic Tee Die Only, and popped it up on foam. I cut the guitar from Steel Gray card stock, embellished it with patterned paper, and added the flames cut from Red Hot card stock and Orange Fizz card stock.

Here’s the inside with a sentiment and an image from the set:
