Hi everyone, This challenge is a fun one! I needed a fast card, so I took my new Waffle Flower Postage die and some Distress Inks and simply smooched them on the paper. Cut cut cut ✂️,  rearrange and tadaaaaa! Show us your green creations at AAA Cards Challenge Blog 💚. Liefs Marlies 

Hi everyone! Will you join the CAS birthday challenge at AAA Cards? I used the "Toucan do it" set from lawn fawn and Distress ink for my card. And a few lovely clear dots.  Have a wild day! Liefs Marlies 

 Hi everyone! I got a new set with stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn!!! AND I AM SO EXCITED! It's called "Toucan do it" and it features a lot of amazing animals and funny sentiments. I got them at Hobby Resort .  With the sketch challenge I used my new set of stamps and dies (duh) and Distress Ink.  I made this card for my brother, who was almost graduating college (or for our Dutchies: HBO). He had to get a few more things done and I felt like he could use some support from his big sis! Will you join our challenge at AAA Cards Challenge Blog ? Liefs, Marlies 

 Hi everyone! For this challenge I decided to go for a lovely girly card. Is it summer-ish? The most important thing is, it is CAS! Clean And Simple! The stamp with coordinating dies is from Studio Light, I think. I used distress ink (kitsch flamingo) for the background. The sentiment is from Marianne Design. Will you join us at AAA Cards Challenges ?  Liefs, Marlies

 This challenge at AAA Cards Challenge called for a large, unicolor stamp or a stencil with larger shapes. I. Have. Neither. So I created my own stencil, using a die and broad low tech tape! I used the plain leaf from the Altenew Mix Leaf Die Set and used it as my "stencil" shape. The sentiment is Frisian, it means both "a flower" and "a bouquet". I stamped it sideways to make it look like a flower stem. Here you can see our sketch for this fortnight, how will you make this work? Let's see!  Liefs, Marlies

 SPRING! I longed for it. I still do, because where I live autumn takes up about 3/4 of the year... The thing I love most about spring are probably all te baby animals that are born this time of year. For this challenge I used these lovely stamps from Heffy Doodle, alcohol markers and distress ink. My trick was using masking tape to protect the pad from the distress ink. What do you love about spring? Will you join us at AAA Cards Challenge Blog ? Liefs, Marlies

 I really like to make masculine cards, because I discovered a big secret a few years ago: men love handmade cards. It's not even about the general look of a card, they simply really appreciate the effort. In my experience, even generally grumpy men will enjoy receiving a handmade card. For this AAA Cards Challenge I decided to make a masculine card with our sketch. As you can see, I "mirrored" the sketch to make this card. I used stamps of "old" cars and heat embossed those with WOW embossing powder and VersaMark ink.  Do you make masculine cards often? Liefs, Marlies

  Yay! I really enjoy sketch challenges. Do you know why? I think it's amazing to see how many different ways there are to interpret a sketch. You'll see when you go over to our blog at AAA Cards Challenge that there aren't two identical cards! I used distress ink to make the partial background on the left side of the card. The colours I used are: kitsch flamingo, abandoned coral and spiced marmalade. The stamp set is from Lawn Fawn, which I love very much! I used coordinating dies to cut the images.  What is your take on our sketch? Join in! Liefs, Marlies

 Are you used to writing 2024 in stead of 2023 yet? I am absolutely not! Fortunately, this card did not need a date.  For the sketch challenge you can use any shape(s) in any colour(s), just keep it CAS. Since A LOT of my friends are currently pregnant, I decided to make a "Welcome Little One" card.  For the background I used Distress Ink on clear stamps and I coloured the image of the cute little bear with alcohol markers. In my opinion this card works for both baby boys and baby girls! What kind of card will you create with this sketch from AAA Cards Challenge blog ? Liefs, Marlies

Fall or autumn is my favorite season of all time! I love the changing colours, candles and Harry Potter marathons. I made a very simple "clean and simple" (CAS) card. There are no superstars on this card, but I love the vibe. I used the stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn. I coloured the stamps with alcohol markers and added a tiny bit of "speckled egg" Distress Ink behind the scene. Join in and visit our challenge at the AAA Cards Challenge blog! What is your favourite season? Liefs, Marlies

 For Challenge #252 at AAA Cards Challenge Blog we had a fun colour scheme to work with!  The colour scheme has blues and purples. I decided to go with the blues. The picture doesn't quite capture the depth of the colours, but you get the idea. Which colour(s) will you pick for this challenge? Liefs, Marlies

 Wij hebben lieve vrienden die een tweede kindje verwachten! Voor hen maakte ik deze kaart. Er loopt nog geen "pooltje" in onze vriendengroep, maar ik denk dat ze een meisje gaan krijgen. De oranje vlek is gemaakt met water en drie kleuren Distress Ink en het gouden deel is gemaakt met het stencil van Studio Light,  Mask stencil Arabesque arch - JMA Warm & cozy nr. 57 , en Lunar Paste van Simon Hurley. Deze kaart doet mee aan de volgende challenge: Challenge #250 van AAA Cards Challenge : Colorful Inkblending Liefs,  Marlies
