Have a beary good Birthday | Simply Create Too Challenge Blog


Hi everyone, today starts a new challenge at the Simply Create Too Challenge Blog. This month's theme is CAS - clean and simple. And I know that you usually expect a lot of white space with CAS cards but this time I went with a lot of red space! ;)


I created this fun birthday card using my new heart die which is absolutely gorgeous! It's a bit of a pain to adhere the heart die cut to the panel but I think it's worth the effort!


I included this cute little panda by Mama Elephant which is holding this envelop with a little heart on it. So adorable! And on the inside I stamped a suitable birthday sentiment (yes, with a bear pun!).


Can't wait to see all your creations on the blog! Happy crafting!

Red, White or Blue (Simply Create Too Challenge Blog)

Hey everyone, it's time for a new challenge at the Simply Create Too Challenge Blog. The theme for this challenge is "Red, White or Blue" and I've decided to go with red and white.



I created a show set of cards with the new fox digi that you can download here. I colored him in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. I also wanted to use two panels for my card, so I die cut the larger one from red card stock and a smaller one from white card stock using dies by Craftin Desert Divas.


For my sentiment I used the stamp "liebe Grüße" from Create A Smile and stamped it with Memento Lady Bug ink in the top center of the white panel. Using 3D foam squares, I adhered the little fox to the bottom right corner and die cut a few hearts from red card stock and adhered them with glue dots above him.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and I am looking forward to seeing your creations on the blog. Take care!

Thank you!

Hi everyone, it's time for another challenge on the Simply Create Too Challenge Blog! This time it's all about "Thank you!". 

For this challenge I wanted to challenge myself to create a CAS card. I am always struggling with CAS cards, I guess it's too much white space for me :)


I used this beautiful stamp set by Clearly Besotted! It has so many adorable little birds in it which are super easy to color. I colored mine with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a brush.
I also die cut the word "thanks" with the Scripty Thanks die by lawn fawn from black cardstock.


To assemble my cards, I first adhered the die cut thanks to a white squared note card and applied a thick layer of glossy accents over it. After everything was dry, I stamped the second part of the sentiment "for everything" which is from a thank you set by Create A Smile. To finish off the card, I adhered the different birds on top of the thanks facing eachother with 3D foam squares for a little bit of dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my cards and I am looking forward to seeing your creations on the blog!

Use Stitching (Simply Create Too Challenge)

Hello and welcome back to another challenge on the Simply Create Too Challenge Blog. The topic this time is "Use Stitching (real or faux)". I decided to go with faux stitching because I love my rectangle dies! 
I started off creating the grassy hill using a die by My Favorite Things. I used white cardstock to create the fence and dark green cardstock for the grass. I stamped the two adorable sheeps by Lawn Fawn on watercolor cardstock and colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens.


For the background I die cut a rectangle piec of watercolor cardstock and applied dried marigold distress ink where the sheep woud be. I let the color fade out into white.
To assemble my card I adhered the background panel to a white notecard. I also adhered the grassy hill to the fence and used fun foam behindi to create a bit of dimension. To stamp the sentiment I used Brilliance Moonlight White by Tsukineko which has a nice pearly shine to it. At last, I adhered the sheep to the grassy hill.

Be funny/Make a joke (Simply Create Too)

Hello and welcome back to a new Simply Create Too challenge! This time we all created cards to go along the theme "Be funny/Make a joke". And I know it's only March but I thought the image of this cute polar bear dressing as a snowman (or is he eating the snowman???) was just too cute and funny.


I started off stamping the cute polar bear on white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him in with Spectrum Noir markers. 
Then I created a background with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and die cutting the panel with a pierced rectangle die. To create the snowy hills I also die cut another rectangle from white cardstock and then used the dotted borders by Avery Elle to create two hills. I adhered the larger one directly to the background panel. for the smaller one, the one in the front, I used some fun foam to create a little bit of dimension and adhered it on top of the first snowy hill. I adhedered the polar bear to the hills using 3D foam squares for the top part of him to get the same dimension. I used the German sentiment "Fröhliche Weihnachten" and stamped it with blue ink on the top part of the card.

To finish off the card I cut a piece of dark blue cardstock which matched the color of the sentimnt into place and adhered it to a white notecard. Then I could adhere the rest to the blue panel.
