CASology #312

Welcome to Week 312 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

When I'm sick nothing seems to heal my sore throat like some hot soup.  Classic chicken soup is always good but there's something about tomato soup that seems extra comforting.  How about you?  What's your favourite healing soup?

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!

Black & White Christmas

Hi again!  

I'm popping in quickly with a card for the Muse challenge where this week Ardyth provided the fabulous inspiration.  I stuck pretty close to Ardyth's design with white inlaid die cuts on a black background.  That swirly tree is from Whimsy stamps and the sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.  The star is cut from DCWV glitter paper.  I also made a second card with the leftover die cuts.

  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Grey, Basic Black) Stampin' Up, (Yellow glitter) DCWV

Dies:  (Funky Christmas Tree) Whimsy Stamps, (Joy) Reverse Confetti

Trio of Critters

Hi there!  Not only did I have some unexpected crafty time today but my mojo was also very cooperative!  Yaaaasssss to the mojo!  So I have 3 cards to share starting with this cute Stampers Anonymous pooch.  I based the layout on CAS(E) This Sketch and the patterned paper makes it eligible for the Simon Says Wednesday challenge.  I'm also going to play along with the Anything Goes challenge at Seize the Birthday.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Night of Navy Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (June Bug 12x12) Basic Grey

Markers:  (R17, R22, Y06, E33, E35, E37, C5, C7) Copic

Glitter:  (Clear Wink of Stella) Zig

This next card is for the Just Add Ink sketch challenge.  This Whimsy Stamps elephant is so cute and I love his little party hat.  I found the card base in a pile of extra stuff on my desk.  If you look closely it's been decorated with an old PTI impression plate and it seemed like the perfect pattern for a party!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Rose Red, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Smokey Slate) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Sweet Celebration 6x6) My Favourite Things

Finally is a card for the My Favourite Things sketch challenge.  This is the only cat from this particular stamp set that I hadn't inked up so I thought it was time he get his moment in the sun.  I kept thinking it needed a little something else but now I'm glad I left it as a simple layered design.  

That's it for today.  See you tomorrow for CASology!

CASology #251

Welcome to Week 251 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I don't know too many people who like medicine but sometimes I suppose it's a necessity.  Wouldn't it be nice if love could cure all ills?  Until then pills and potions will be around so why not make them cute like these little heart shaped ones!  These and a spoonful of sugar should go down pretty easily.   

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 #218

Welcome to Week 218 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

These NBUS Whimsy stamps and dies immediately came to mind when I saw this week's cue word as a crutch is a very literal means of support!  Each crutch is made up of 3 layers of die cuts to give them depth and the gems add a pop of contasting colour to the teal card base.

Looking forward to seeing what direction the cue word takes you.  Check out the gorgeousness from the rest of the design and then play along!

Elephant, Kitty & Flowers

I'm back with a few more cards from my crafting session over the weekend.  First is a card for the Fusion challenge.  I used the sketch but also incorporated the stripes, teal and pink from the inspiration photo.  How sweet is that Whimsy Stamps elephant?  I love his little face!

Next is a card using the sketch at My Favourite Things.  I stuck very close to the design using a Heart Stax die and Copic coloring one of the many cute kitty images that MFT has.  The white panel and the kitty are popped up on foam tape.  I'm also going to enter this in the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.

Swirly Tree, Apple & Birthday Balloons

Hi there!  I'm back with three more cards.  First up is for the Merry Monday challenge which has started up again after a summer break.  We were challenged to make a card using gold, black and white.  I dug out some shiny gold cardstock and cut it with this fun Whimsy Stamps Christmas tree die.  I mounted it on the Avery Elle burst die and added an MFT sentiment in Delicata Golden Glitz ink.  

Supplies Used:

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

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Hand Lettered Holiday) My Favourite Things

Ink:  (Delicate Golden Glitz) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Funky Christmas Tree) Whimsy Stamps, (Burst die) Avery Elle

Gems:  Recollections

Next is a card for the Curtain Call: Candy Apple challenge.  I love this Paper Smooches apple image and always have fun paper piecing it.  The font on the Mama Elephant thanks die is also a favourite.

  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Kraft) Papertrey Ink, (Gumboil Green, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper:  (This & That Graceful 6x6) Echo Park

Stamps:  (Apple from Falling for You) Paper Smooches

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Thanks) Mama Elephant, (Stitched frame) Reverse Confetti

Other:  (Glossy Accents) Ranger

Finally is a card for the Muse challenge.  I love the colour palette that Anita used for her balloons and used almost all the same Distress Inks for my Simon Says Stamp balloons.  I then die cut the Mama Elephant birthday and mounted it on a couple of layers of grey cardstock before popping it back into place and adding a little "Happy" above it.  I'm also going to add this to the Stamp It challenge over at the Simon Says Wednesday challenge. 

That's it for now.  Have a lovely day!
