Paper craft project no. 421: Shine one layer card

We're starting a new challenge over at One Layer Christmas Card. Our guest designer this time around is Anita. As usual, it's anything Christmas goes...so long as it's one layer. Hope you can join us and link up in the next two weeks. Check out the beautiful one layers created by our guest designer and my teamies Vickie and Susan.

To make my card, placed the ARTplorations The Merry Tree stencil on my card base and stamped the grungy circles (from the upcoming Art Marks set) in black. I also traced the tree with a black gel pen. Then I  I stamped the splatters in red and the star and sentiment in Delicata gold. 

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to smile :o)

Paper craft project no. 420: Love you one layer card at Cupcake Inspirations

Popping by to share a card I made for the current Cupcake Inspirations challenge, where STAMPlorations is the sponsor :o) Here's the sweet inspiration photo:

To create my one layer card, I sponged HA ultra pink ink through the Hearts in Bubbles stencil, stamped the splatters in the same ink color, and then stamped the French script in DI sugar spun. Removed the stencil and stamped the sentiment. Finished the card by rounding one corner.

Linking up my card to these fun challenges:

• Crazy 4 Challenges #323 - Monochromatic (Pinks and/or Reds)
• Fantasy Stampers #56 - Just one layer
• Simon Says Wednesday - One layer

My card is also a CASE of the gorgeous card by the fabulous Anita in France. She's the guest designer in this month's CASEplorations at STAMPlorations. See the hearts inside the circles, the shades of pinks (I skipped the orange), the sentiment combo (both size and color)?

Paper craft project no. 419: Shine one layer card

Popping by to share a card I made for Time Out. It's the Inspired by Words challenge and there is still a week left to play along. We'd like to see projects inspired by this line from a John Lennon song: Love is the flower you've got to let grow. 

Again, I went with one of the words in the line -- flower -- and created a one layer CAS card in my favorite style (grungy and artsy). I stamped my focal image (from Hope Blooms) in HA ultra pink and masked it so I can do some grungy layer/collage stamping in HA soft granite using stamps from Art Marks, a new set coming out in a couple of weeks. I added some newsprint/text (from Mixed Media Grunge) and stamped the sentiment and three grungy hearts in ultra pink to tie it all together.

Check out the cards the team + guest designer Valentyna made and then link up your own inspired by words project. Sponsoring the challenge is Clearly Besotted.

I'm linking up my card to Craft Stamper's February Take It Make It Challenge -- Take A Technique: Text Me and Addicted to CAS #81 - Bloom.

 

And it fits the current theme & sketch challenge at STAMPlorations. I went with just the theme -- got 3 grungy pink hearts.

Plus STAMPlorations is the sponsor over at Addicted to Stamps and More, where there's this sweet photo inspiration. (I went with pink.)

Paper craft project no. 418: Bloom one layer card

Popping by to share a quick card I made this afternoon while my little one was having her tummy time in the crib. Stamped the sketchy blooms (Hope Blooms) in Memento love letter then masked it before stamping various grungy stamps in neutral. Finished the card with the big sentiment in black. 

I based the card's design on the current sketch over at CAS(E) This Sketch and added my little artsy/grungy style on a one layer CAS card :o) I haven't played there in a while and it was so good to make a card just for fun.

Of course, this card also fits the current challenge over at STAMPlorations February CAS Card Challenge, where the optional color twist is red) 

And I just gotta share a couple photos of my sweetie...

Her face when I showed her the card. She knows how to make mommy very happy :o)

My little one appreciates handmade cards ;o)

It's anything goes so long as your Christmas card is one layer. My teamies Vickie and Susan have also created beautiful one layer cards so I hope you'll come check us out :o)

To make my card, I stamped my favorite grungy splatter stamp through the ARTplorations The Merry Tree stencil in green and brown inks. Then I simply stamped the sentiment in black.
