Happy Sunday everyone!
It’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Cards and we are celebrating our fifth birthday with a blog hop and a treasure hunt this fortnight!
Five of the design team members have a picture hidden somewhere in their blog post. Simply find all the pictures and work out the one word that connects them all (hint: it begins with the same letter as the name of our blog!). Then email your answer to our lovely team admininstrator, Jane, at aaacardchallenge at gmail.com.
Our sponsors have been very generous and we have lots of prizes which can be won in a number of ways:
- Create a card – make a CAS birthday card and link it over at our challenge post in the usual way
- Enter our treasure hunt
- Like, comment and follow us on social media (Facebook and Instagram)
- Visit each of the 8 design team members’ blogs and leave a comment
Here are the blog hop links:

For my card, I used the Brilliant Presents die from Simon Says Stamp which I cut from black glitter cardstock. I cut the image a second time from an old panel that I’d created with Color Bursts and Cosmic shimmer powders. It is so sparkly in real life! I lightly stencilled a background using a Simon Says Stamp stencil and adhered the black out line and inlaid the pieces cut from the bright panel. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.
And for those of you looking… here is the treasure hunt picture! 
My teammates have shared some gorgeous CAS cards on the AAA Cards blog – I do hope you can join in with all the fun this fortnight!
I’m also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge (anything goes) and the Seize The Birthday challenge where the theme is ‘anything goes’ and the optional topping is ‘presents’.
Thanks for stopping by!

Love your sparkly presents. It’s also a great way to use up inky panels/scraps. Thanks for the inspiration. I actually have this die in my stash…
