Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The theme of today’s challenge is ‘Frosty’s Wonderland’.
I used an oldie but goodie die set by Create-A-Smile that I bought YEARS ago but I seem to reach for it every year. As I have a HUGE jar of hexagon sequins, I turned this into a shaker.
The embossing folder is by Spellbinders.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 9 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2023! Today I’m playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
This CAS card took far longer to create than it should have because I didn’t like my numerous ink-blended ovals! In the end I chose this one which is a combination of Saltwater Taffy, Wilted Violet and Stormy Sky distress inks! I adhered the little snowman scene from an older Create-A-Smile die on top.
For the background, I used the fabulous Spun Glass embossing folder by Simon Says Stamp.
No sentiment on this card – after spending so long on that ink blending, I just felt I’d mess up a stamped sentiment!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using the sketch below and if you want to join with our optional twist, please add a critter or two!
For the background, I used a fun older cling stamp by Create-A-Smile – this one went AWOL in my craft room for a while but luckily I just found it in an unlabelled box of cling stamps! The Jellyfish and circle dies are by Poppystamps and I added part of a Reverse Confetti sentiment to complete my card.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Cornelia, who has some fabulous inky inspiration on her blog – go check it out!!
Hope you can play along with us!

Hi everyone!
The weather has turned a lot over the past few weeks and it’s much chillier and wetter at the moment and I’m getting excited for my annual Christmas in July event! In preparation for that, I decided to play along with the challenge at CAS Christmas. The challenge theme is snowman.
I chose an older die from Create-a-Smile and a sentiment from Mama Elephant.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s time for a new challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using the edge of your card; our optional twist is, rather intriguingly, time travel! Our sponsor is Stamplorations.
Life is crazy right now so I made a simple festive card using Penny Black stamps and my beloved Twinkling H2O paints.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Coni, who has some lovely inspiration on her blog!
Hope you can play along with us!

Hi there!
It’s time for a new challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card in ‘minutes’; our optional twist is ink blending. Our sponsor is Uniko.
I confess I am not a fan of making cards against the clock. I find joy in the creative process…. all the other parts of my life seem to involve rushing and so I relish my peaceful crafty time.
I used a MFT stencil and regular distress ink to create the ink blended circle. Then I simply adhered a die cut from an older set by Create A Smile stamps to complete my card.
