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

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!

Hello there!

I've got a card today for three challenges - CAS Colours & Sketches, Freshly Made Sketches and Darnell's NBUS challenge.  I broke out these Concord & 9th outline alphabet dies for the first time and used them to create some sentiment only cards.  I had to cut the letters from all 3 cardstock colours so I ended up making 3 cards.

Stamps:  (Birthday from Happy Snappy Crocs) Heffy Doodle

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
