Have A Phone-omenal Day!

 

I haven't had a chance to do any crafting for weeks so I was happy to finally have a day to spend making cards.  I recently got this adorable phone die and stamp set from SugarPea and decided it had to be the first thing I used.  I decided to play along with the Colour Throwdown and AAA Birthday's 2nd birthday celebration.  I die cut all the pieces twice from yellow and black cardstock so that I could make two cards at once and I used a Watercolor Frame stamp from Altenew to add some interest and dimension behind the phones.  

Supplies Used:

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

Stamps:  (Top sentiment from Birthday Greetings, Background splatter from Watercolor Frames) Altenew, (Bottom sentiment from Call Me) SugarPea Designs

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Silver Stone, Industrial Diamond) Altenew

Dies:  (Phone) SugarPea Designs

Other:  (Nuvo Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops) Toni

CASology #391

 

Welcome to Week 391 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

Polaroid frame dies are so fun to use and are such a great way to frame a simple image and add a little extra pizzazz to a design.  Because my panda is black and white I went for a fun patterned frame and coloured his hat to make one of the patterned paper colours pop!

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 #390

 

Welcome to Week 390 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I was trying to come up with a more original take on this week's cue word but I ran out of time and ended up reaching for this butterfly (because they're generally found outside!) that was left over from this project.  I wanted those pretty colours to be the stars of the show so I kept things simple and just added a small sentiment on top of the butterfly.  I dithered about Nuvo drops for a while but in the end I decided it didn't need anything else.

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!

Floating Kitty

 I've got a card today for the Just Us Girls (Float) and Seize the Birthday (Furry Friends) challenges.   Working through more patterned paper here.  Bit by bit I am determined to conquer it!  This is ancient paper from Hot Off the Press and seemed like the perfect background for naughty Newton floating off on a birthday balloon and the WPlus9 scalloped die gives it a bit of a cloud feel.

Patterned Background Kitty

 Today's card is for the Time Out Pets challenge and the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.  The expression on this kitty's face seemed perfect for this sassy sentiment and I like the versatility of the sentiment too - it's from a birthday set but I feel like it could work for any celebratory day or even as an encouragement card.    

Supplies Used:

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

Patterned Paper:  (Indie Chic Saffron 6x6) My Mind's Eye

Mother's Day Bird

Today's card is for the Freshly Made Sketches and Colour Throwdown challenges.  I have a pile of this Memory Box bird die cut in many colours sitting on my desk and the Throwdown colours gave me the perfect chance to put one to use.  Once I'd picked her out the rest of the card basically put itself together!
