Nothing for a week, then twice in one day ..... I said November's going to be busy!
Happy Thursday evening ..... I hope you've had a nice day.
It's time to get a little festive now with this month's Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge
This month's theme is ....... CHRISTMAS. Why not join in and make a start on all those Christmas cards you're going to need .... or, if you've already done this years, make a start on the next!!
The way things are going in the old craft room ..... I'll be buying my cards this year!!!
So ..... CAS .... one of my favourite styles. Sometimes not that easy to create though.
You need lots of white space, one main focal point, and minimum embellishments ........
I've gone for a jolly looking snowman .... I love this little stamp. It's an old Inkadinkadoo stamp, not sure if it's still available I've had him in my stash for ever ....... he was very popular at my last workshop
I stamped him onto a piece of white cardstock and added a touch of colour to his hat and scarf using my ZIG markers.
A touch of fine crystal glitter adds a little sparkle .....
I then stamped the sentiment and heat embossed in gold .......
I'm loving the larger sentiments that are around at the moment, I think they make great focal points on your cards, and make it easy to create beautiful CAS designs.
This 'Merry' from the HLS set Everyday Sentiments is a great size ....... use it on it's own or, mix and match it with other sentiments from your stash as I've done here.
As always there's a prize up for grabs ..... a $20 gift certificate for the challenge winner, to spend in the HLS store so come on ..... get into the festive spirit!!
Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.
