  Hello. The new challenge is up on the AAA Cards Challenge blog. We are celebrating 10-year birthday on the challenge.

We have an anything CAS goes with an optional twist of Birthday.

Remember to stay CAS or Clean and Simple.

We want to celebrate with you as it's not every day you turn TEN.

And....We have prizes!

Some are only available to the country of residence due to postage, so please make sure when you do the card link up to add your country letters, say Maaike-NL

We always vote for our winners, but this way we can shift the prizes between them if that makes sense. Our challenge and giveaway are open Worldwide, but due to costs there's a few restrictions.

Our wonderful Design Team has put up these prizes, but they will be a surprise package, except of course the generous gift card from Whimsy Stamps, Altenew, Create-a-Smile Stamps and Funky Fossil Stamps, you can buy what you want

We also do not have a guest designer as we want everyone to be in with a prize, so get cracking and remember to make it CLEAN AND SIMPLE

Please note that the gift cards do not cover postage and or Custom duties, this is the winner's responsibility, remember to put your country behind your name when you upload

 Hello. Hope all is well with you in your crafty world. Today I wanted to play with a couple of challenges. Altenew's Inspiration Challenge and Simon Says Stamps Wednesday die cut challenge.

Altenew April Inspiration Challenge

 

Hey there. I love this sunset palette of the Altenew April Challenge.

I used two sets Prim Peonies and Sweet Bouquet. I ink blended a panel with the inspiration colors then heat embossed the floral image.

I stamped the floral in blue and ink blended the floral and used alcohol markers on the leaves.

Altenew April Inspiration Challenge

 Hello. April is here and Altenew has a new challenge for us.

This was such a fun card once it finally came together. I used the Indoor Garden set to create my boho inspired card. I started with Ellen Hutson's Wonky Backdrops to create my wallpaper to ground the shelf. 

The greeting comes from My Favorite Things Essential Sentiments. I heat embossed it in white detail powder.

I added the jute twine and a small brad that I colored with an alcohol marker to create texture. Then I finally I popped the panel up on a kraft top-folding card base with foam tape.
