CASology #285

Welcome to Week 285 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I've had Katy Perry singing this line in my head ever since I made this card.  Hopefully it will fade away after this week!  This My Favourite Things set is so fun with lots of cute sentiments and matching glasses dies.  It's one of those sets that went in and out of my shopping cart for ages but I'm so glad I finally got it.        

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 #284

Welcome to Week 284 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I was going to go with making a belated birthday card for this week's challenge since that's the only kind I ever seem to need.  (I really must get organized this year!!)  However I stumbled upon this CAS-ual Fridays stamp set and figured I'd dust it off and give it some love.  With such a simple layout I decided to go for bright and bold colours to jazz it up a bit and the keyboard buttons are popped up on foam tape.  I also gave them a bit of bling because...  well, why not!       

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!

Twofer Feathers

Hi there!

I was determined to play along with Darnell's new Twofer Challenge and as usual am squeaking in at the last minute.  I used my Simon Says Stamp feather dies to make a wedding card and an encouragement card.  For the wedding card I used the negative die cuts and decorated them with Nuvo Crystal Drops.  For the encouragement card I die cut the feathers from patterned papers.

Butterflies, Flower & Pig

Hello!

I've got three more cards to share today.  First up uses the colours from the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.  I pulled out some oldie but goodie Papertrey Ink butterfly stamps and dies and paired them with an Altenew sentiment.  The butterflies are popped up on foam adhesive for some dimension.

Next up is a card for two challenges - The Colour Throwdown and the AAA Cards Chilled challenge.  I used "chilly colours" and a sentiment to wish away the chill.  The dies are from Neat & Tangled - they've been on my wish list for ages and I finally got ahold of them at a great sale price from Ellen Hutson.  The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Textured White) Bazzill, (Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake) Stampin' Up

Finally I have a card for the Simon Says Wednesday challenge to add a sentiment, the Just Add Ink challenge to use something new and the Paper Players CAS love notes challenge.  The Simon Says Stacked Hearts die just arrived on my doorstep this week so is very new!  The MFT Hog Heaven stamp set is one I've had for a while but still love it.

Puffy Stars

Hi there!

Just popping in with a card inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the colours from Just Us Girls.  I used Lawn Fawn star dies and a Lil' Inker Designs sentiment die along with a "You are" from Altenew.  This was super quick and easy to put together which doesn't happen very often but I love it when it does!

CASology #283

Welcome to Week 283 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I immediately thought of "a glimmer of hope" when I saw this week's cue word and found this sentiment in an old The Craft's Meow stamp set.  For some reason I always put butterflies and hope together in my mind so I went with it here.  I used an NBUS MFT butterfly stamp and embossed it with silver.  This Nuvo silver embossing powder was recommended at my local art supply store and I LOVE it!  The other brand I have at home has never worked well but this is gorgeous.  They were out of the Nuvo gold but I will definitely be getting some at some point.       

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!

'Bots and Birthdays

Look at that!  Back for two days in a row!  Yaaaasss!  I've got two more cards today starting with this one for the My Favourite Things sketch challenge.  I finally broke down and got the dies to go along with the Bionic Bots stamps.  I'd avoided buying matching dies as much as possible telling myself that I was saving money because I was perfectly capable of fussy cutting images.  Well, it does save money and I am capable but boy does it take forever sometimes!  So now I scoop some up when I can and it's definitely making my crafting life easier.

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Grey, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Next up is a card for the CAS-ual Fridays All That Glitters challenge and the Seize the Birthday Anything Goes challenge.  I used coloured glitter papers from DCWV with some fun Papertrey Ink dies and added a CAS-ual Fridays sentiment.  I also added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops but they're pretty hard to see. 

That's all for today.  See you tomorrow for CASology!

Smooches & Possums

Hello there!

I have been suffering with severe lack of mojo for ages now so have just been focusing on keeping up with CASology cards.  Today I finally managed to get some challenge cards made so the mojo misery may finally be lifting!

First up is card using the sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches and the theme of Love from CAS on Friday.   I was after this Lil' Inker Smooches stamp set for ages and finally got my paws on it.  It kept going out of stock and I was never quick enough to order it before it ran out again.  I stamped it with Altenew ink and then stamped over it with VersaMark and applied clear embossing powder so it's got some gloss to it.  I love it!  It was well worth the wait.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Stamps:  (Lips & Muah from Smooches) Lil' Inker Designs, (I love you from Hug Me) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Coral Berry) Altenew

Embossing Powder:  (Clear( Hero Arts

Other:  (Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops) Tonic

This card uses the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and I'm also playing along with the Addicted to Stamps and More CAS challenge.  I've used more Lil' Inker NBUS here with the adorable Hey, Awesome stamps and Seriously Awesome die.  Super cute and simple and I scattered some Nuvo drops around it all.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, Smokey Slate, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Possum & sentiment from Hello, Awesome) Lil' Inker Deisgns

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Industrial Diamond) Altenew

Dies:  (Awesome) Lil' Inker Designs

Other:  (Nuvo Oyster Grey Crystal Drops) Tonic

CASology #282

Welcome to Week 282 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

These little cuddling Neat & Tangled kitties are so adorable!  I Copic coloured them, fussy cut them and gave them a little turquoise mat to snuggle on.  It's not often that a card comes together so quickly so it makes me love this even more.  :)     

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!
