Hello everyone... and happy Halloween to those who celebrate. Before I get to the quickest and most clean and simple (CAS) card I ever made, I wanted to share a video of the BEST reaction I ever received to one of my cards. Halloween is not that big of a deal here, but I made this box card for my five-year old nephew, Liam. I never imagined getting this type of response, especially from him on video because he usually shies away when he knows the camera is recording! Besides the reminder to call me auntie, his mom said it was all him! He’s growing up fast! And having had to deal with back/hip issues as of late, he brightened my day and made me the happiest auntie — EVER! Hope you enjoy the video!
So now onto the quickest and most CAS card I ever made. As I mentioned above, I haven’t been able to do much lately due to back/hip issues, but the current AAA Cards game #177 Maxi White Space + optional twist Stars spoke to me...
and this is my card.
The shooting star from Kraftin’ Kimmie Christmas Blessings and the sentiment from never before used (NBUS) Altenew Halftone Stars were stamped with white pigment ink onto a navy blue stitched panel from my stash and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Mounted the panel onto a white card base and filled in the star with a white gel pen to finish! Done! Did I mention this is my quickest and most CAS card ever? 😂
Since I used the Altenew star set for the first time, I’m linking to Darnell’s NBUS challenge #19 as well. Thank you for visiting. Have a great weekend!
