Who's ready...

...for a bunch of cards from Mynnette?!  That's right, kids!  I've been making cards but haven't had time to show them to you, so now you have to endure tons of pictures in posts and multiple posts from me tonight!!! ;)  Let's get right to it--this post will feature my CAS cards and then we'll do another post for non-CAS cards! :)  Let's start with some faux stitching, shall we?

Here's my first "stitched" card & details~

My second "stitched" card & details~

For these fabulous challenges~

Less is More: Sewing

Paper & Such: Stitching--real or faux

Paper Pretties: CAS

One Layer Wednesday: Lines

These cards were SO MUCH FUN to create!!!  I have a PTI set called "Faux Ribbon" that I usually just use the sentiments out of, but I knew immediately when I saw the stitching challenges that I'd have to use the stitched faux ribbon image in this set!  I had lots of fun randomly stamping my lines and then finding the perfect place for my sentiments and rhinestones.  I will definitely have to use this idea next time I need a super quick card!

Here's another CAS card~

For these challenges~

CASual Fridays: Back in Black

 

Papertake Weekly: Make Your Own

(I made my own designer paper...)

Stampin' Sisters in Christ: CAS card

When I saw that the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays, I immediately thought sympathy card.  But I didn't want it to be completely black, so to make my own designer paper, I started by dry embossing a piece of black cardstock with my Sizzix purse.  After it had gone through the machine, I sponged on  some silver ink and added some rhinestones.  Then I stamped a sentiment in the silver onto another small piece of black cardstock and punched it out, cut it down, and added it to my card.  Easy peasy, and I LOVE the way it turned out!

Thanks for taking a peek at my CAS cards--come back in a bit to see some non-CAS cards!  Happy stamping, friends! ;)
