Happy Little Stampers December CAS Challenge

Hi All

Time for our 'Clean and Simple' challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

Here I used the Happy Little Stampers set-Big Bold Numbers.

The celebtate die is first cut in vellum and the glitter foam.

Had to use the misiti here to get those numbers lined up!

Happy Little Stamps CAS November Challenge

Hi All

We have a new challenge starting today at Happy Little Stamper 'Clean and Simple'

It's a good one for this time of year as we are asking for 'clean and simple' Christmas projects.

Here is mine:

I wanted to make a CAS shaker card and I think I managed it!

I used the negative die cut to make the shaker section and then used the positive section to hang just above it.

I decided to emboss the top bauble to give it some texture.

The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers but it is a retired set. Here I stamped it in delicata silver ink.

We are looking forward to seeing what you create and if you need more inspiration, pop over to our blog here and see the amazing cards our DT have made.

The winner of this challenge will get a $20 voucher to use in the store.

Enjoy!

Happy Little Stampers CAS October Challenge

Hi All

Time for a new challenge 'Clean and Simple' challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

This time we want to see:

One layer cards

I love making one layer cards and here we go:

The photo doesn't really do the card justice. It is really pretty as I used the lovely 'sweet sixteen' ink from Catherine Pooler (a pressie from my cousin Lynn). I love the look of it IRL and have added a few pearls around the snowflake but after many attempts of photographing it, this was the best I could do!

The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers and the snowflake from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I got this idea when I saw this card by Nonni-I like the way she had placed the sentiment in the middle of the doily and that this would work well with a large snowflake=thanks Nonni for the inspiration.

The winner of this challenge will get a $20 gift voucher to use in our store.

Happy Little Stamper CAS September Challenge

Hi All

Today a new monthly challenge starts at Happy Little Stampers. This month we are asking for 'Clean and Simple' cards that feature a silhouette.

Here is my take on this challenge:

The silhouette is from the Wish You Were Here stamp set from Happy Little Stamper.
I have heat embossed it on a tag I cut from some sponged card.

The winner of this challenge will get a $20 gift voucher for the Happy Little Stamper Store.

Time to get inky!

Happy Little Stampers June CAS Challenge

Hello Crafting Friends,

It is time for our monthly 'Clean and Simple' challenge at Happy Little Stampers

This month we want to see:

Clean and Simple cards using the 'smoosh' technique.

Here is my card:

I have never tried this before and had to watch a few videos before attempting this for the first time. You can check out some videos on our main blog here.

First off I heat embossed the Eiffel Tower stamp from the Happy Little Stampers set 'Wish You Were Here' (my sentiment is from this set also). I then used an acetate sheet to mix up some barn door distress ink with water and smooshed it over the image. I then did the same but with yellow water colour paint. I just smooshed it all around, let it dry and mounted it all on a black card base. It is a different card for me but I do like the effect. It was sent to a very dear French crafty buddy who I thought might like my first attempt at a new technique...even if it was to have a giggle!

Our DT have all made super cards to inspire you-take a look here and then get inky

The winner will get a $15 discount from the store

Happy Little Stampers May CAS challenge

Hi All

Time for a new Clean and Simple challenge at Happy Little Stampers

Our challenge is:

Rain

Here is what I made:

All the stamps I have used here are from the Happy Little Stamp set Rainy Days. I stamped the cloud/sun stamp straight onto the white card and then again on another piece of card. I fussy cut out just the cloud and then covered this in glitter-I thought the gliiter and the sun would hopefully bring a smile to whoever gets this card! 

All out DT have made amazing cards-check them out here

The winner of this challenge will get a $15 gift voucher to spend in the Happy Little Stamper's store

I will enter this into:

CASology-Flow-I looked up 'flow' and here I am using it as a noun-rain being the constant flow of water. Often I find I look up cue words and it really opens up your mind to the many possibilities-give it a try!

Happy Little Stampers April CAS challenge

Hello There,

Time for our new 'Clean and Simple' challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

If you are not sure what 'Clean and Simple' means in the crafting world-check out the explanation on our blog here.

The challenge this month is:

Blending

Here is my card:

Blending is something I find hard and am not so keen on it but I gave it a go and I am o.k with the result, although not my favourite card!

The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers-Mix Mash set. I did a little stamp surgery so I could just use the 'Birthday'.

I have blended some brushos onto water colour card and attached this behind the window. Then just used a die cut the sentiment over this. I think this is a card that could be used for both men and women.

Check out what the DT have made to inspire you here and then get blending!

Happy Little Stampers March CAS challenge

Anything Goes with Dies

Here is my card:

The sentiment is from the Happy Little Stampers 'Doodled Flowers' stamp set. The vellum I used to die cut the butterfly was first stamped and heat embossed in gold with the splatter stamp from the Mixed Media Fum stamp set.

 I got this idea when I saw a card by Shona on pinterest-thanks for the inspiration Shona.
