AAA Cards Birthday Blog Hop

Hello everyone,

We are so excited that you're here to help us celebrate AAA Cards' 3rd Birthday.  We have a ton of sponsors for our hop.  Some returning sponsors from past games and some new. 

Be sure to head down to the end of my post to find out about all of our sponsors and some of the fun ways to win prizes along the way. 

For my card I used the splatter stamp set from MFT and used a few SSS hybrid inks for this card, then stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps with Hero Arts dye ink.  I then added some enamel dots to match the colours.


I did the exact same thing for this card but I pulled out my very hold mini Stamping' Up ink cubes with most if not all of them are now retired. The added the same sentiment with the same ink.  


And again for this card with Stampin' Up inks but didn't add any enamel dots to this one as I didn't have any that would really complement the colours as they were a bit dark so I left it as is.



Now here is all the fun stuff.

  2. Love the simplicity of your cards, that splatter stamp is just awesome! Hard to pick a favourite stamp or die, probably Tim Holtz's Runway set as you can use them in so many different ways for different looks and occasions. Thanks for the chance of winning (c:

  7. WOW! Simple CAS brilliance Coralynn - may have to CASE this design. It would work for so many occasions and love the different colour combos you used. I've just too much stash to pick a favorite but as you're doing the Neat & Tangled giveaway it would have to be their heart of gold die! I use it loads. x

  9. What pretty color bursts.. what a great idea for CAS cards! I am quite new to stamping and donot possess many stamps to qualify to say which is my favourite.. But I have Altenew stamps in my wishlist (oh! The floral ones.. How pretty!) They might become my favourite when I can lay hands on them ;)

  10. I love Hero Arts background stamps, because I love to make my own embellishments and also designer papers. I don't like shortcuts. But I also love other brands of stamps like Altenew flowers and cuddly images of Lawn Fawn and Paper Smooches. For me the best stamp is the stamp I can use over and over and every time I can make a different effect.

  13. Well my favorite stamp company is probably Papertrey Ink but there really are so many wonderful companies out there. Favorite set? I guess whatever I ordered most recently. How can you have a favorite :-)

  14. My fav stamp set right now is my Globe Greetings from Concord & 9th, but it changes often because there are so many awesome companies and sets out there! Love all your cards, I like seeing the color variations you made! Beautiful!

  16. Your CAS design is always inspiring, Coralynn. Love these cards and the three different colour combos.
    To pick a favourite stamp/die from my favourite company would be like choosing my favourite niece or nephew (don't have kids)...so having said that, my favourite niece or nephew...😂😂😂 oh, I mean my favourite stamp company is Simon Says Stamps and my favourite stamp and die from them is the Sending and Wishing. SSS carry so many other brands I love so they are truly a one-stop shop.

  18. Coralynn, this is a beautiful set of cards. Love the simple layout and bright colours you used. Today my answer to your question is obvious - Modern Petunias by WPlus9. I hope to have enough time to play with them. But I also received yesterday my latest order from SSS full of new stamps from different companies - Sweet Kobylkin

  19. I didn't comment on my favorite stamp or die from my favorite company. But my problem is I love all the companies, I love trying all of their products. Right now me and my granddaughter are obsessed with the Mermazing stamp set from MFT. She's 4, so she's so loving it.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Love your cards all fab and would be great for both male and females dependent on the colours you use and bits you add so now the splatter is on my wish list too.
    My favourite stamps tend to be either my latest purchase and changes frequently depending on who or what kind of card I am making and I do tend to have different go to stamps I think it would be hard to choose just one but I do love daisy from Sugar Nellie as it was one of my first stamps and I love daisies but there are many on my wish list including some of the layering stamps from altenew ,I love their peony and magnolia as I love these flowers in real life.
    Hope you all enjoy celebrating your birthday.

  47. Love how you've changed the colors up in your cards for different looks!!! Your question is hard, but the stamp set I reach for the most is a Hero Arts sentiment set, and the die that I seem to be using the most is a Tattered Lace "congratulations" script one, that came in a set of 2 congrats font dies :)

  50. Fabulous set of cards. Love that splash of colour.
    My favourite stamp set tends to be my latest purchase. It always amazes me how companies out-do themselves every new release, and produce something amazing.
    Right now, I'm having fun playing with 'four-legged friends' from My Favorite Things.

  54. Super-crisp stamping on all of your beautiful cards Coralynn and don't they all look amazing in the different colour ways. They have such an arty look to them and it must be because of that superb splatter stamp. I am totally in love with the Altenew Extra Special stamp set at the moment and my go-to die is always the Inside Out Stitched Rectangles from My Favourite Things. Congrats on the AAA Cards birthday and thanks for your inspiration xx

    ReplyDelete
  55. Perfectly CAS cards! I love the design and the different colour combos you created xx

    ReplyDelete
  56. I love all the color ways you used on your CAS cards, Carolyn. My favorite stamps have to be any flower set from Altenew.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'm back for an apology. I saw Coralynn and wrote Carolyn. I know how important names are so I'm sorry I misspelled yours.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I am sooooo CASE'ing this idea... I just love it's simplicity!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. CAS perfection with your cards....love them all but the last one is my favourite! It is so hard to pick a favourite stamp or die but for me it would be Uniko's chrysanthemum stamps...so versatile and they are my go to stamp set x

    ReplyDelete
  60. Love all three versions of your card. Very cool and elegant. My favorite stamp brand is Altenew and my favorite stamp set is Painted Flowers.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Three super cards, same design but so different with the change of colours. I've got a couple of favourite brands - Uniko and Penny Black - but when it comes down to my favourite stamp it has to be the PB Pretty Perch as I love robins xx

    ReplyDelete
  62. What a great idea for your cards!!! I struggle with CAS, but look how fab your CAS cards look! Your question is such a tough one...can I love 'em all?! I guess I use MFT stitched frame dies the most and Lawn Fawn stamps make me smile!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. How could I pick just a single stamp or die!??! Oh dear. Can I cheat and just pick a favorite company? :) I love Lawn Fawn!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Fabulous multicoloured splatters! In answer to your question, well... it's very hard to choose! I find I seem to go through phases of favouring a particular stamp set, and then moving on to a new favourite. At the moment I'm really loving Simon Says Stamp's Floral Bliss stamp set.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Wow what fun CAS cards you made with that ink splatter! I'm sorry but I can't give you an answer, I love so many of my stamps from so many companies to have a favourite! :))

    ReplyDelete
  66. wow, amazing cards, I love your colours.
