Here is my design team card for Eureka Stamps challenge #182, which is open through Sunday, March 6.
I will be the first to admit that CAS cards are not my first choice - I really like CAS cards done by others, but struggle with my own - I tend to want to fill up all that space, or add embellishments. However, this cute Digi by Eureka Stamps - Cool Cat with Shades - worked well for me. I edged the image layer with a bit of ColorBox Marigold ink. (Tip - I did not tear the edges of that layer. I did use my trimmer with a very dull blade I keep for that purpose - it is dull enough to give what I call a controlled ragged edge!) The ink was applied directly from the mini ink pad, to add a hint of color and some dimension. Another tip - the sentiment is also a digi by Eureka. I printed it separately, hand cut it in a bubble shape, and photo copied it unto the cool cat image. This process left a look of an edge around the sentiment - which I enhanced a bit using a grey chalk pencil. It looks like a layer but is not. I used a metallic pen to draw the line to "attach" the bubble, and also to add some specks to the background. The cat was colored by mixing orange and beige chalk pencils. Thanks for looking.

New DP
I just received my prize from Classy Cards n Such - a pack of lovely watercolor papers by Ken Oliver. Thank you! I tend to make A2 size cards, so I minimized the layering - I wanted to show the pretty floral bg. I used up some scraps of items from my stash of odds and ends. The fabric strip and the mesh piece were there - I think they came from a grab bag at a yard sale. I added 3 shiny gems and tied a bow with DMC metallic 6 strand thread. The verse is from Our Daily Bread. I used a different sponging technique: Sponging inside the die is not new, but using twinkling H20 is. I mixed a bit of the pigment with water, and used my aqua pen to sponge - I like the shimmery effect.

Leaping ladies
I think this Art Impressions (pre-colored) pop-up set, Enjoy the Ride, works well for challenges that include "leaping" - it is leap year, after all. I just have no idea why they are running, leaping and jumping - just havin' fun! (Actually, though, most folks of this generation probably ache too much to leap very high!!!) The three gals and the purse are popped up on pop dots. The sketch also gave me a chance to use some underutilized Washi tape!

Eureka Tic-Tac-Toe
This week the challenge at Eureka Stamps is Tic Tac Toe. I selected the middle row - using twine, embossing, and Washi Tape. I used the Happy Birthday embossing folder by Embossalicious. I chose this birthday sentiment, Most Special Day, by Eureka - what a nice birthday sentiment. The designer paper featuring some tiny hearts is from a pad by Beau Papier. I selected twine and Washi tape to match the hearts. Hint - I cut tiny notches on the edges of the bg mat to anchor the twine so it will stay in place. The shimmery dark burgundy mat cs is from Clear Bags. I hope you will check out this challenge at Eureka - you have until Sunday afternoon to enter.

TeaPot Tuesday #395
I got a large pack of items from Kanban not long ago - lots of great black, cream and gold. I have had little chance to use them, but decided the look would work with this rooster (Stampin' Up Provencal) - a suggested theme for our TeaPot Tuesday challenge at SplitcoastStampers (Splitcoaststampers - Teapot-Tuesdays-mmtpt395. The card will go as an RAK to someone who suddenly developed some mysterious, serious health issues. I doodled some faux stitches on the circle, and added a gold strip and gold ribbon. The DP is lightly embossed, and I also embossed the black mat layer.

Congrats, Hanna
This is not typical of a Verve entry - but I found this sketch fit the image and theme I wanted to use. Our granddaughter-in-law just got results for her pre-nursing exam - and she did very well. She has been studying for some time, and is so excited. Our grandson just started med school so the next few years will not be easy for them. I wanted a fun card to congratulate her - and a quick card I could get in the mail this morning! The image is from Dearie Dolls, and I used a school themed paper from Studio 18 - thought it reflected the studying she will be doing. I used my red gel pen to put her name on the cap - had to make it tiny! Circle dies cut an open circle that would not cover too much of the patterns.

Love in the RV park
For some of you this may seem a rather unusual card for the "love" themes. However, we know several couple who have found love the second time around, after losing a spouse. Many of these "more mature" couples have known each other for some time through associations in their RV travels. This scene (Art Impressions pre colored and die cut pop-up) is realistic, but I must say our friends are better looking! I added some of the layers from the set, but not all. BG pieces are from a Martha Stewart collection, and one corner features embossed hearts from Darice.

Eureka Challenge #180
I am quite excited about this post. It marks my debut as a design team member for Eureka stamps. In fact, it marks my debut as a design team member - period. I am happy and excited as well as a bit nervous. Thank you, Karal, for selecting me and showing this confidence. I hope I will not let you down. Please visit the Eureka blog to see what the other talented designers have created for you.
Now, on to today's Eureka Stamps Challenge - Fur and Feather. I selected these digis: Rainy Day Duck and Under the Weather. The duck is colored with Prismacolor pencils. The mat cs is a dark teal. To create the background I inked the D'Vine Swirl (Cuttlebug) embossing folder with a dark teal marker, then embossed. The light blue panel is from SugarTree; the strips are formed with a double row of Washi tape. I used a flower and a shiny gem from my collection.
This will be a good card to add to my stash - handy to have available.

For a Friend
I used my new Hearts embossing folder (Darice) and reds and pinks to make a card for a friend who is hospitalized. (Then I covered most of the hearts!) The verse comes from Word Art. I used Washi tape for the strips, and added shiny gems and a sheer pink bow. I used shimmery silver cs for the sentiment and the embossing.

Hearts and a rose for DH
I hope this is masculine enough. Hubby is always so thoughtful - he wrote a poem and brought a rose for me (yes, already) - he always says he'd buy a million if he could.....awwwww...!1 After 58 1/2 years we just don't come up with much of anything new!
Enough of that...
I lucked out the other day as I popped in to JoAnn's - they had Darice folders at 6/$10 - this is one that I came home with. I had to use it. The image came from A Day for Daisies, several weeks ago. I colored with Brilliance ink and an aqua pen. The tiny heart is part of the image but I cut it out and popped it up a little. Die cuts by Spellbinders, and the heart ribbon from my stash. I did the sentiment on the computer.

New to my stash
I waited a while to get an order of new "stuff" - then have been busy with Valentines and a special order - no time to play with that order! So I tried here - using a Kanban kid for the butterfly and gold scroll border. The image is Unity, and I followed their Facebook sketch challenge - though I have not yet figured out exactly how to participate, since I am pretty new to that platform. I used a dark brown cs, embossed with the Embossalicious happy birthday folder, for the background.

Tea Pot Tuesday for Carolyn
This is the link for this week's Teapot Party challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. Looking for a place to send your cards? Join this weekly challenge - the mods select some one in need of cheer, or who deserves a special recognition. This card will go to Carolyn who has had many health problems and could use a little cheer. Butterflies were included in the suggested themes.
1-2-3 challenge: Image by Stampemdous; I used shimmery silver cs to emboss the butterflies (Darice) - my favorite cs for embossing. The second cs is poppy red. There are 3 shiny gems in a color close to the strawberry milkshake of the color challenge. The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping.

Blue & white thank you
I will have several versions of favorite blue and white cards - for a neighbor. They are thank you's for kindness shown at the death of her father. I feel that a more tailored card is suitable for that occasion - I like the white embossing with the blue. This one has Cuttlebug Swiss dots and Darice butterflies teamed with Stampin Up Reverse prints.

Simple Blue
This blog has been pink and red for several days, but it will be turning blue this week. A neighbor asked me to make several thank you cards (thanking for friendship at the time of her father's death). She asked me to use blue. Although it is a favorite color of mine, I do not use it a lot as I find blue difficult to work with. I welcome any comments and suggestions! I will probably add a thank you sentiment when I figure out which one to use! The image is Reverse Prints by Stampin' Up, and this embossing folder is Victoria.

Masculine Valentine - for Hal
One more valentine for a guy - using the "gears" folder from Darice, and the Cuttlebug
"You". For the you folder, I selected certain lines to place at the top and the bottom. (If you adjust your screen just right, you can actually see the embossing! The sentiment is JustRite, and I got to use up some scraps of dp, some red and white cs, and a bit of Washi tape.

To Ethan
Here is my second grandson card - another dog lover in his mid 20's - no frills for him! I do really like making cards for these grandkids, as they appreciate my work and save their cards! (If you have good ideas for 20 something males - all ideas are welcome!) DP is from my Martha Stewart Valentine pack; I replaced the shamrock with a heart on the Dearie Doll image; finished with a bit of Washi tape and dog bone punches - might as well have a Valentine treat for Fido!

It is so difficult to make cards, especially Valentines, for 20-something guys! This grandson and his wife both love dogs - I found a Dearie Doll image for St Pats, and I covered the shamrock with a heart.

Teapot Party for Bob
I often do the weekly Teapot Party challenge at Splitcoaststampers. This week we are making cards for Bob, who had hip replacement and is recovering very slowly - he is in need of cheer. I don't have any blue tractors as suggested, but I did dig this out of my WishRAK stash. The wheat image is a new RAK gift, and the sentiment a new item received as a prize from Inspired by Stamping. (The stamped sentiment was cut to create 2 lines so it would fit!) I added some checked DP and twine from my endless stash.

to Maddison from Barb
A friend from church asked me to make valentines for her pre-school prayer partners. I soon realized I have enough paper to run my own store, but almost nothing for kids, and especially not for Valentines. (My stuff tends to be for more mature recipients LOL!) At any rate, I hope these elements work together to make something cute for these little ones. I used a pre colored Dearie Doll digi, but changed the hair color. The DP is Paper Studio; the dies are Spellbinder - including one from the Banner Basics set which is new to me. The letters are die cuts, and the sentiment from my computer. I highlighted the cute gal's shoes with a metallic pen.
