CASology #302


Welcome to Week 302 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:



I am excited to see what everyone comes up with for this week's cue word.  It's pretty abstract so I am hoping for some fun and inspiring designs.  I used two different bee stamp sets to create this and based it around the squiggly flight path of the bee.  It came together far more quickly than most of my cards which is always a YAAAASSSS in my books!  

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!


Link your creations to the CASology blog and remember that the deadline for entries is Monday at 9am (CDT).

Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Daffodil Delight) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Bee & squiggle from Circle Friends) Simon Says Stamp, (Sentiment from The Buzz) Reverse Confetti
Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Markers:  (Y08, 100) Copic
Gems:  Recollections

CASology #299


Welcome to Week 299 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:


I pulled out my old Hero Arts ink daubers to create the sea background for my little turtle.  They're so much fun and I'll use them every once in a while and then forget about them  and then be delighted all over again when I "rediscover" them once more.  Does this happen to you with any of your products?  

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!


Link your creations to the CASology blog and remember that the deadline for entries is Monday at 9am (CDT).

Ostrich Greetings


Hi there!

I'm here with a card for three challenges:  Just Add Ink (Just Add "O"), Simon Says Wednesday Challenge (Animal Magic) and Time Out Challenges (Wild).  Katzelkraft has so many amazing and hilarious critter images.  I am slowly building up my collection but, of course, there are always more to covet!  The look on this ostrich's face cracks me up and he could be paired with a variety of sentiments.  For this card I kept it simple with a Paper Smooches "'Sup?"  And look!  More patterned paper!  Maybe I'll get through it before 2026 after all....



Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper:  (Cool Kid 6x6) Crate Paper
Stamps:  (Ostrich) Katzenkraft, (Sentiment) Paper Smooches
Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Dies:  (Wonky Stitched Rectangles) My Favourite Things, (Speech bubble) XCut
Markers:  Copic
Other:  (Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops) Tonic

Flying Panda


Hi there!

I've got a card today for the Seize the Birthday Anything Goes challenge and the Time Out Wild challenge.  I'm continuing in my efforts to burn through some patterned paper.  At this rate I should run out by 2026.  :)  This paper is from Studio Calico.  The panda is Mama Elephant, the sentiment is Altenew and the balloon is Lil' Inker.  A cacophony of companies all playing together!

CASology #298


Welcome to Week 298 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:


I'm second guessing myself as to whether a zebra is really a jungle animal.  I think they're mostly found on the plains but there are some mountain zebras so I'm going to hope there's also some jungle associated with those mountains...  

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!
