House of Cards July Challenge

Hi Everyone,

We'd like to thank everyone who's played along with us so far here at House of Cards!  We've got a NEW format--we're now a monthly challenge with style teams posting inspiration weekly!  This week, the clean and simple team is showing off their creations using our monthly challenge prompt.  Please welcome the newest member of the CAS team- Toni. She wowed us with this card from our blog hop  challenge. 



For all of us who are bow challenged - it can be a tiny one....  even I can manage that, haha!



Thanks for checking us out!  We hope you're inspired to join us with your creations this week!

Check out our House Rules HERE before linking up!

And of course I had to play in a challenge with this card - as you probably can guess, it is this month TAWS challenge.


I used the TAWS sets: Kid n' Caboodle, Enchanted and Jibber Jabber for this card, did some paper piecing and used a Memory Box stencil.

I am also linking this up with this month Bizzy Becs Challenge - Anything goes
and with Seize the Birthday - anything goes

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Hi Everyone, I have a very special card for you today - a birthday card for Suzanne, the owner and talented force behind So Suzy Stamps! And we are celebrating this wonderful occasion with a special blog hop! You may have arrived from the wonderful Giada , our Italian contingent :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY Suzanne! I used the Blowing Butterflies  (heat embossed in gold)  and the Birthday Wishes  to create my card. I cut myself a gold frame from glitter paper and added a water color wash.

You even can get lucky and win a $20 gift certificate for So Suzy Stamps - sponsored by Justine and a  Bunkie Bag from Simply Charming Everyday, but you have to le...

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
