AAA Card Challenge 282: one of our "new challenge formats" for 2025

It's time for another fun challenge at AAA Cards and today we are introducing one of our new challenge formats for 2025. It's called Follow my Lead and in the coming year/s the Design Team are all going to have a turn at being the "lead" and when it's our turn to be the lead we've created a cards we feel is reflective of "our style". Today we're kicking off with Marlies as our lead and she created this fun card to be our inspiration:

I've been a bit of a rebel and stuck to the power of 3 and was inspired by a card I made for AAA Card Challenge 232 from January 2023 which you can see HERE to see my white on white version.

I've used the same supplies as my first card with the addition of some Poppy card stock from C9. As always you have 2 weeks to create a card to play along with us - just remember to make it CAS. Do check out how everyone was inspired by Marlies at AAA Cards.

Thanks for popping in.

AAA Card Challenge 281: sending Paper Hugs to kick off 2025

Welcome to 2025 and a big hello from me I hope everyone had a fabulous festive time catching up with family and friends. It's great to be back blogging and AAA Cards is starting of the new year with it's first challenge of anything goes as long as it's CAS. Let me remind you how AAA Cards see CAS as it is a lot stricter than other clean and simple challenge blogs.

The optional twist for this challenge was "flies in the air" so many possibilities and the Design Team have explored lots of them so do check them out.

I've chosen to work with a new set for me from MFT stamps called Paper Planes as I can see a paper plane above.

It was a simple card and very pink as Valentine's Day is coming next month so I might as well get started on my Galentine cards ;)

I masked of the card, ink blended and then stamped in a darker colour cute images from the set. My card is inspired by a card on the MFT site by Carly Tee Miner.

Supply List (I thought I'd do it differently this year and list supplies by company):
MFT stamps: Paper Planes (stamps and dies)
Pinkfresh Studios: Sparkling Rose and Bubble Gum ink; 1" blending brush
Copic Markers: RV00/02/04 W2/4/10

Sakura: white Gelli roll pen #8

As always you have 2 weeks to play along so hope you can join in with us.
Thanks for popping in.
