Have A Super Day!

 


I've got a super simple card today for the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches (who else is still super heartbroken that they've closed?) and I wanted to give it a superhero feel so I went for Superman colours and a super star.  If nothing else I should win the award for using super too many times in one post!


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Sentiment from Super) Paper Smooches
Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Dies:  (Star) Papertrey Ink, (Stitched circles) Heffy Doodle
Other:  (Nuvo Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops) Tonic

Christmas Bulbs

 

Today's card is for the Paper Players sketch challenge.  I seem to be making cards in threes lately but I guess it just makes sense to do it while all the supplies are out.  I love the richness of these Catherine Pooler inks - they definitely make the cards merry and BRIGHT!




Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (All from Merry & Bright) Reverse Confetti
Ink:  (Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko, (Rockin Red, Tiara, Lime Rickey) Catherine Pooler
Cie:  (Stitched rectangle) Mama Elephant
Markers:  (W3) Copic
Twine:  (Licorice) The Twinery

Better With Sprinkles


 Today's card is for CAS(E) This Sketch and I thought of this Newton's Nook stamp as soon as I saw it.  I'm not sure what I like better about this stamp - how adorable Newton is or how happy I'd be to stumble across a cat sized donut!  


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Bermuda Bay) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper:  (Happy Hooray 6x6) Pebbles
Stamps:  (All from Newton's Donut) Newton's Nook
Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Markers:  (RV02, R11, R17, Y02, YR04, G05, BG01, E33, E37, C1, C3) Copic

Patterned Hello

 

Hi there!

Clearly this card is not my usual style but the challenge at Simon Says Stamp this week it to Layer It Up so I decided to stick a toe outside my comfort zone and see what I could come up with.  This took waaaaay too long to put together but I was determined to come up with something!  I broke out some Pinkfresh patterned papers and some dies from Paper Smooches and MFT and finally ended up with this.  I don't hate it but it's definitely a style I need to practice more.       

Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper:  Pinkfresh
Dies:  (Hello, Notebook paper, Speech bubble) Paper Smooches, (Hearts) My Favourite Things
Other:  (Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops) Tonic, (Glossy Accents) Ranger

Thanks A Latte!

 

Hello!

I've got a card this evening for the Fusion challenge where I used the sketch and took inspiration from the purple in the photo.  I used some ancient Basic Gray patterned paper and the new to me latte die and stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps.  I also added a little coffee cup from Essential By Ellen. 


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Blackberry Bliss, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper:  (Kioshi 12x12) Basic Grey
Stamps:  (Coffee cup from Everyday Essentials) Essentials by Ellen, (Sentiment from Latte) Honey Bee Stamps
Ink:  (VersaMark) Tsukineko, (Fresh Fig) Stampin' Up
Embossing Powder: (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow
Dies:  (Latte) Honey Bee Stamps

CASology #377

 

Welcome to Week 377 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:


We are lucky to have an incredible sunset view over the water at our house and a boat sailing by silhouetted in front of a blazing orange sky is a beautiful sight.  I used the very versatile Skinny Stripes from Essentials by Ellen to create the graphic sunset and a long retired (but still very cool) sailboat die from WPlus9.

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!


***We're going back to challenges every 2 weeks!***
Link your creations to the CASology blog by 9am Monday, 9 November (CDT).
