Shiny Flowers

Ooooo shiny!
I started my CAS (clean and simple) card kick with these cards, although this blog post is not first.

I'm entering these cards into two challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Easter/Spring Inspiration and
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Easter Inspired.
 
Materials
Snapdragon Snippets Silhouette Design #17704
Art Glitter: Designer Dries Clear Adhesive

Other Materials
metallic papers; gems; and Silhouette Cameo (in my case Cameo 3)

Instructions
In Silhouette Studio adjust the size of the design to your card base, and cut out all pieces. Add gems and glue to card. Send to people who love shiny things!

It's hard to get the lighting perfect with reflective cards.

Bright and Sunny Wishes!

Sending bright and sunny wishes!
Right now I'm on a CAS (clean and simple) card kick. These two are my latest efforts. The embossed paper and various paper patterns keep these from being too boring. I think they'll do nicely at brightening up someone's day!

I'm entering these cards into two challenges:
MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 376 and
Simon Says Stamp: Work it Wednesday February 2018.
 
Materials
Jillibean Soup Clear Stamps Sunshine
Jillibean Soup Large Circle Shaker Dies Set
Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad
Wendy Vecchi Embossing Powder in Sunflower
Art Glitter: Designer Dries Clear Adhesive

Other Materials
green card base; various papers: green embossed, green pattern, 3 yellow patterns; paper cutter; heating tool; and die cutting machine

Instructions
Start by die cutting two suns. Using Versamark I stamped the sentiment and added embossing powder. A quick bit of heating and the words were nice and shiny. Cut your paper to size, glue everything on going by the template, and you've got a CAS greeting card!
