 You guys!!! How fun is this sketch? As you can see on our blog, AAA Cards Challenge , there are so many ways you can interpret this challenge sketch. I can't wait to see yours! The stamp set I used is " Clear stamps Gears & Bikes - Gearhead's Workshop nr. 673". 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!  Here I am -again- with a masculine card! But this time it was the optional twist, sooo.... I used low tech tape to shield the card, except the bottom part. I have a stamp set with cars and tools. I used one tool stamp to create the bottom pattern.  The circle stamp and matching dies are from Studio Light ( CCL-ES-CD731 and  CCL-ES-STAMP563). I placed the sentiment where it is, because that's where I smudged some ink with my fingers, ahem. What kind of CAS card will you make?

Hi everyone! I'm gonna be honest, this was a tough one. I simply had TOO MANY IDEAS. My best friend thinks I have ADHD or that I'm neurodivergent at least. I have no idea, but reels on instagram agree with her.  Anyways, back to my card!  This is my interpretation of today's sketch. I just bought the leaf mix die set from altenew. It was an absolute a*****e to find, but I managed to buy it from a webshop in Belgium: Card Nouveau . The sentiment is in Dutch and means: "I am thinking of you". I can't wait to see what your interpretation of our sketch is! Please submit your card 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

 Mijn lieve schoonvader is maandag jarig en hij wordt alweer 63 jaar! Inmiddels is het een beetje traditie dat ik de verjaardagskaart bij het gezamenlijke cadeau maak bij mijn schoonfamilie en het wordt altijd zeer gewaardeerd, ook door de heren. Het papier is "Mr. Fix It" van Mintay.  Deze kaart doet mee aan de volgende challenges: - Challenge "maart 2024" van Cheerful Sketches Challenge Blog; - Challenge #84: cijfer op je kaart van 2 Sister on the Blog; - Patterned Paper Challenge van Double D Challenges. Worden de kaarten die jij voor mensen maakt ook zo gewaardeerd? Liefs, Marlies
