Guest Designing for CAS Mix Up

Hi Everyone,

I am totally delighted to have been asked to be guest designer at the CAS Mix-Up challenge


Of course I said YES! It is such a cool challenge. The DT supplies ample information about the topic and ones can learn so much! This month topic is quite enticing - it is all about embossing folders. If you are like me, you have a huge supply of them - but rarely used.... I am so glad I had an excuse to put at least one of them in action!


The folder I used here is a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I sprinkled Bushos on it and spritzed with water. I then did some embossing folder stamping. I dicut a square window into my card base using a QuicKutz square die. Added the pig (unknown company). The wonky birthday stamp is by So Suzy Stamps. I also added googly eyes to the pig, some white gel pen accents and a little dab of Stickles to the center of the flower.


I  just love how this embossing folder background turned out! Go and pull out your embossing folders - so many techniques to try with them!

You made an amazing background. A great idea and a great excuse to pull out the folders for extruding from the drawer. I love your birthday pig. It's nice that it's not pink :-)
Hugs,

Your Brusho embossing folder stamping background is fantastic! It looks like colorful mosaic! It's fun and bright, and perfect for the occasion. The blue pig with googly eyes is so funny and cute!

How the devil did I miss this one...it has my spirit animal on it. And the blue/green combo is one of my favorites. I must be living under a rock and don't know it.

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.
