CASology #397

Welcome to Week 397 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I have a few typewrite stamps but this one from Hero Arts is one of my favourites. It reminds me of the one my grandmother had and I loved the clack of the keys and the thunk of the return. Such good solid sounds! I fussy cut this one from Bermuda Bay cardstock and made the paper bright yellow so the sentiment wouldn't be missed. I also added some scored lines in the background to give it a little texture

We're welcoming a new DT member today - Asa Johanssen! Asa has been a long time player at CASology and I have been a long time admirer of her clean and crisp style. I'm excited for her to join us!

CASology #396

Welcome to Week 396 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

This was the sentiment that immediately came to mind when I saw this week's cue word. I tried a couple of different layouts but finally settled on clustering the elements in the corner. I used yellow ink for the sentiment to mimic the setting sun.

Looking forward to seeing what direction the cue word takes you. Check out the gorgeousness from the rest of the design team then play along!

CASology #395

Welcome to Week 395 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I wanted this stamp and die set for AGES, finally got it and then it sat... So glad this week's cue word gave me a reason to break it out. All those little dies are a bit fiddley but it was worth it. It's so fun!

CASology #394

Welcome to Week 394 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

For this week's card I broke out an NBUS set from Lil' Inker Designs and paired the stamps with a splash of yellow and some fun stripes. Keeping it all layered and centered helps to keep the elements from becoming too overwhelming and keeps a CAS feel.

CASology #393

Welcome to Week 393 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

This week's cue word actually made me think of parking a car so I reached for this Taylored Expressions race car and sentiment. I often pair them with some washi tape but this time I used a Hero Arts stencil to create the "road" for the car.

I'm also going to play along with the Colours Hues challenge - Red and Blue.

CASology #391

Welcome to Week 391 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

Polaroid frame dies are so fun to use and are such a great way to frame a simple image and add a little extra pizzazz to a design. Because my panda is black and white I went for a fun patterned frame and coloured his hat to make one of the patterned paper colours pop!

CASology #390

Welcome to Week 390 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I was trying to come up with a more original take on this week's cue word but I ran out of time and ended up reaching for this butterfly (because they're generally found outside!) that was left over from this project. I wanted those pretty colours to be the stars of the show so I kept things simple and just added a small sentiment on top of the butterfly. I dithered about Nuvo drops for a while but in the end I decided it didn't need anything else.
