CAS, ATCs and a Teacher Thank You

I am getting better at making CAS cards… or at least I feel like I am. Made a few CAS cards this weekend for my friends over at AAA Card Challenges and had fun making them. Here is the first!

The challenge required masking. I used a wonderful free image from Beccy’s Place titled Silhouette. I made a mask for the sun by punching a circle from a post it note. Put that in place, then sponged colors to create a rich sunset.

I’ve never made an ATC before, but had fun making several of them during my weekend fun time in my craft room. Fori this pair I used I used a favorite stamp from All Night Media and several embellishments from my scrapbooking stash.

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is Back to School. I had fun making cards this weekend with this theme. Here is the first!

I created the sentiment on my computer (has always been one of my favorite sayings, and thought it was especially appropriate for teachers.) The apple image (from an old Stampin’ Up set of minis) and a Printworks “Thank You” were both embossed in white on black cardstock to resemble a chalkboard. (And since the stamps were from two different sets, I am entering the card in the current Poppy Power challenge.) Attached that to the card with double-stick tape, finished it off with mounting corners created from scraps of patterned paper.
