The CAS Team is throwing a party to celebrate our 200th challenge and you’re invited! We’re all bringing something to make the party extra special.

every party should have some “Glitz and Glamour,” right? Your challenge is to bring something glitzy and glamourous to the party. Be sure to add the keyword CAS200PARTYA so we know where to look.

Every party needs presents. I love the ones with the shiny, shimmery paper so I wrapped mine in some elegant paper then added some big chunky glitter for extra sparkles.

We can’t wait to see your “Glitz and Glamour” creations!No chatter here please!

Challenge: “Technique- Dazzling Diamond Dust”
Keyword: CAS200PARTYC
Hostess: LilLuvsStampin (Charlene)
Date: Saturday, December 8, 2012

Hello, stampers! I hope you are having fun with the CAS200 Challenge Celebration, and I hope you’ll join me in my dazzling technique challenge I have for you!! Specifically, I would like you to use the Dazzling Diamond Dust technique on your card. You can find the tutorial for this technique in the Tutorials section (HERE). However, here’s a quick outline of what you’ll need and the steps you take to do this technique.
You will need the following supplies:
Versamark (or some form of embossing ink)
Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder
Heat Tool
Begin by stamping your image and coloring it the way you want. If you plan to use a Nestability or punch to cut out your image, do that next. Stamp your Versamark over the entire area of your image panel. Make sure you have it completely covered. Sprinkle Iridescent Ice embossing powder and heat emboss. You will have a dazzling effect to your image!
I look forward to seeing what you create!

Challenge: “Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice”
Keyword: CAS200PARTYE
Hostess: mamamostamps (Maureen)

Sugar & Spice & Everything nice…that's what comes to my mind when I think of holiday parties. *
It's the only time of year that you get to eat all the candy and sweets you want, without all of the guilt! *
So, go ahead and grab your peppermint sticks and sugar cookies and make them (or any other sweet treat or candy) the focus of your CAS card!!

Thanks for including me in the celebration. *I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with!

During the Christmas season, I love all the trees, lights and wrapped presents... the kind I usually see in stores with ribbons and bows that are perfect. Some day I'll take the time to use ribbon and bows on my gifts. Right now, I like to use them on my cards! I'm addicted to ribbon!
