Birthday Hearts

 I don't usually enter a bunch of challenges all with one card but it's that heart time of year and I'm already done with making Valentine's cards.  Both the birthday sentiment and the scalloped frame were on my desk so all I had to do was die cut some hearts from some patterned paper, layer everything up and I was done!

I'm playing along with AAA Birthday (Large sentiment), Inkspirational (Hearts), Seize the Birthday (Topping: Hearts) and Time Out (Inspiration photo).

Supplies Used:

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

Patterned Papers:  (Love Story 6x6) Echo Park

Dies:  (Hearts) Taylored Expressions, (Sentiment) Simon Says Stamp, (Scalloped frame) My Favourite Things

Gems:  Recollections

Washi Birthday

 I've got a super quick CAS card for the Freshly Made Sketches and AAA Birthday challenges.  I broke open some fun and celebratory washi tape and paired them with this Paper Smooches sentiment that was already cut.  I covered the sentiment with Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss for some extra pizzazz and added a few gems.  I always love it when I finally make use of some of the odds and ends on my desk!

Supplies Used:

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

Dies:  (Happy birthday) Paper Smooches

Washi Tape:  Pebbles

Glitter:  (Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss) Tonic

Gems:  Recollections

Butterfly Birthday

 

I carried on from yesterday with some paper piecing using my old Basic Grey papers.  This time it's for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge where I turned the sketch 90 degrees to the right (or left).  This was a quick and easy make.  Fussy cutting the butterfly took the longest... and then I realised I had the matching die.  Doh!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Papers:  (Ambrosia 12x12) Basic Grey

Stamps:  (Butterfly from Butterflies) Avery Elle, (Sentiment from Monkey Business) Reverse Confetti

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Zig Zag Stiched Oval) My Favourite Things

Gems:  Recollections

Cupcake Birthday

 

I've got a quick card today for the Card Concept challenge.  I was inspired by those yummy looking cupcakes with that perfectly swirled icing.  They made me think of this Neat & Tangled set which I thought would be fun to paper piece.  I pulled out some ancient Basic Grey patterned paper and put together this CAS (or maybe slightly Clean and Layered) design.  The cupcake and speech bubble are popped up on foam tape for a bit of dimension.  And now I think I might go and do a little baking...

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Papers:  (Brown from Obscure 12x12, Others from Kioshi 12x12) Basic Grey

Dies:  (Stitched panel) Mama Elephant, (Hearts) Simon Says Stamp

Gems:  Recollections

My Butter Half

 I've got a card today for the Simon Says Wednesday challenge (Love is in the air) and the Just Us Girls challenge (Valentine).  These punny food stamps from Avery Elle are totally right up my street!  I made a few CAS ones with just the heart and image on white cardstock but then thought I'd jazz this one up with some patterned paper and I love how it came out!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red) Stampin' Up

Patterned Papers:  (Spring collection 6x6) Avery Elle

Stamps:  (All from Punny Pantry) Avery Elle

CASology #383

 

Welcome to Week 383 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I spent ages looking for an envelope die which I'm sure I had at some point but I couldn't find it anywhere so I turned to this adorable Heffy Doodle set and broke it open for the first time.  I would love to have my mail delivered by this joyful little pup bounding up my driveway.  It might even make bills and junk mail more tolerable to receive!

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!
