Polaroid Flower

I'm continuing to have fun with the old chipboard pieces I dug up recently. Today I've got a flower for the Flower Power challenge at the Simon Says Wednesday challenge.  I used Lawn Fawn's polaroid die with the Crate Paper flower and Basic Grey letter stickers.  It came together quickly with a few Nuvo dots scattered around as finishing touches.

Supplies Used:

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

Patterned Paper:  (Season 12x12) Crate Paper

Die:  (Polaroid) Lawn Fawn

Chipboard:  (Flower from Season collection) Crate Paper

Stickers:  (Letters from Kioshi collection) Basic Grey

Other:  (Nuvo English Mustard Crystal Drops) Tonic

CASology #367

Welcome to Week 367 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

It seems like unicorns are the only "magical" creatures in my stamp collection.  I don't seem to have any mermaids or fairies or gnomes or dragons at least that I could find with a quick skim through anything.  So a unicorn it is for me this week and this one I find particularly hilarious.  It actually motivated me to pull out my collection of Rabbit Hole caffeinated critters and make use of them.  I'll share more of them in future posts.

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!

Chipboard Butterfly

Another fun chipboard piece that I dug out of my 12x12 paper collections.  This one I used for the Just Add Ink sketch challenge.  I used complimentary papers from the set and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

Peas Love Happiness

Today's card combines the sketch from the Paper Players along with the Paper Smooches Happy Things challenge.  Those peas are from one of the very first Paper Smooches releases and the polka dot paper is from an old Cosmo Cricket collection.  I even used a Corner Chomper to create the rounded corners on the kraft panel.  I brought out all the antiques for this one - I knew I'd kept everything for a reason!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Real Red, Old Olive, Garden Green, Crumb Cake) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Garden Variety 12x12) Cosmo Cricket

Stamps:  (All from Vegtastic) Paper Smooches

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Hearts) Simon Says Stamp

Other:  (Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss) Tonic

All Squared Up Hello

This card is for the Colour Throwdown and CAS(E) This Sketch challenges.  I took a little liberty with the sketch (perhaps a little too much) and made it a landscape card instead of a portrait layout.  I stamped this fun patterned stamp from Avery Elle onto different colours of cardstock and then fussy cut them and adhered them to the card base.  The hello is a Paper Smooches die and I chose this one because I wanted a soft, round font to contrast with the sharp, geometric edges of the pattern. 

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green Night of Navy, Crumb Cake) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All fromAll Squared Up) Avery Elle

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Die:  (Hello) Paper Smooches

Other:  (Nuvo English Mustard Crystal Drops) Tonic, (Glossy Accents) Ranger

Hennah Hello

I've got a card for three challenges today - CAS Colours & Sketches, Freshly Made Sketches and Simon Says Wednesday challenge (Flower Power).  This Hennah Elements flower from Altenew is one I return to again and again.  I seem to always paper piece it with coloured cardstock but it just seems to lend itself so well to that.  If it ain't broke...   

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Daffodil Delight, Emerald Envy, Pacific Point) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from Hennah Elements) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Other:  (Nuvo English Mustard & Ebony Black Crystal Drops) Tonic

Take Flight

When I was digging around through my old 12x12 patterned paper collections I found a whole pile of chipboard shapes and letters and thought it would be fun to make some quick cards with them.  This one if for the AAA Cards Sketch challenge which had the optional twist of "It flies".  This dragonfly paired nicely with this old Papertrey Ink sentiment and I used a coloured card base to give it a little extra oomph without being too busy.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Wisteria Wonder) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Happy Trails) Papertrey Ink

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Chipboard:  (Dragonfly from Offbeat collection) Basic Grey

Other:  (Nuvo Violet Galaxy Crystal Drops) Tonic
