Addicted to CAS Week 27 - PET


 
 
This card was made for ATCAS and the theme is pet.  When I first took a class using copics the instructor had a card made with this image, and I loved it.  Honestly it makes me smile as the image is so happy.  First I stamped and heat embossed the image and then colored the entire image using copics, but I chose to center on the faces only.  The very top layer was embossed with a folder with tiny hearts and then I die cut the opening.  The two pieces were attached and then I attached them to a third piece of cardstock using mounting tape.  I die cut the sentiment flag and stamped the verbiage and attached a lone touch of bling.

CASology: Week 72: SHOP




Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Black Friday.  So the cue word for CASology this week is SHOP.  Yeah, I love to shop.  Even grocery shopping works for me.  People say my frig and cupboards are always full of food.  Funny I rarely cook anymore.  Even yesterday, Thanksgiving, we went out to eat.  No one was here but the mister, the dog and moi.  Today I had leftovers from last night and they were almost as good.  One set of kids came by and then headed to the in-laws.   Actually I love when my entire family is here but that won't be happening this holiday season.  Thank goodness for face time as it keeps us in touch and we can see one another.

The card.  First the stamp is one of several in a set from Our Craft Lounge (no longer in business).  I stamped this bag five times and made a mask to reposition the layout.  I used a copic liner pen and made some designs on two of the bags and on one stamped a tiny heart.  The bags were colored with copics.  This piece of paper was mounted onto kraft paper and then mounted onto another piece of white cardstock.  The sentiment was cut so that flop! would appear to be dropping and I stamped it and then heat embossed.

Stamp - Our Craft Lounge "Shop 'til Ya Flop"
Markers - Copic
Paper - Neenah, SU! Kraft
Ink - Versafine, Memento
Other - embossing powder, corner rounder, copic .3 liner pen, unknown mini heart stamp

My two daughters-in-love have birthdays next month and I will give them gift cards.  Cheryl of Paperie Journey on her November 4 post mentioned a gift card holder from PTI, so I purchased one.  When I was making the above card of course it was not done quickly and I had another colored image finished so I played with the gift card holder and came up with the image below.  I cut this using the Cuttlebug but it did not fit perfectly so I had to re-adjust the paper and die to get a complete cut.

CASology: Week 71: BELL



This card was made for Week 72 at CASology.  The cue word is bell and I searched through my stash of stamps and found two.  The first stamp was two bells and although I worked on an idea it was nothing special.  My second choice was this old SU! stamp with a bell tower.  This colored image was my fifth attempt, four were on water color paper, one was stamped with gray ink on white cardstock and this piece was stamped on glossy paper using Stazon.  Next I colored using SU! markers and a water brush, and die cut with MFT pierced square.  The white cardstock was dry embossed using Cuttlebug's Script folder and I attached the colored image using pop-ups.  My base cardstock is SU! tempting turquoise.

Last week my MOJO was missing with the cue word of triangle.  I worked on four different ideas and they all stunk - really.  When I viewed the winning entries all I could think is why was I struggling.  The answer: the time change.  Really, I am still struggling with the dang time change, this body is too old to go back and forth and it is almost as bad as coping with jet lag.  Even though this card did not come easy I am satisfied and I have always loved this very old SU! set.

Stamp - SU! "Provencal"
Paper - SU! Glossy, Tempting Turquoise, Neenah
Ink - Stazon
Markers - SU!. Close to Cocoa, Smoky Slate, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crumb Cake, Tempting Turquoise,  Lucky Limeade, Garden Green, Certainly Celery, River Rock
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug "Script"

Addicted to CAS: Happy Anniversary to US!!





Happy First Anniversary ATCAS!  This card was made just for this challenge but I will share it with our dearest friends who celebrate their 35th anniversary next month.  Masking and using distress inks is my latest favorite stamping technique and thus this card.  After masking I applied the ink in a circular motion and let it dry before stamping randomly the flower image and heat embossing.  Next I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed.

COMMENT:  Recently someone commented on a blog they did not like to heat emboss but I do like it because images stand out.  Now embossing powder can be messy and sometimes there can be an accident, such as this morning.  I finished two cards to submit to challenges and I knocked over my container of embossing powder, not onto my work table, but onto the carpet which only last week had been professionally shampooed.  Quick get the vacuum.

Stamps - SU! "Remembering You" (this stamp set says 2006, do you think it is retired?)
     Sentiment is from Inky Antics
Paper - Neenah
Distress Ink - Squeezed Lemonade, Peeled Paint, Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender
Other - Versafine, clear embossing powderhttp://addictedtocas.blogspot.com/2013/11/happy-anniversary-to-us.html

MUSE Challenge #42



I made this card for MUSE's Challenge #42 and I followed the layout.  First I embossed one piece of perfect plum cardstock with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots and die cut it and two more pieces of pp cs using MFT numbers and the three pieces were glued together.  Next I attached two different pieces of perfect plum DSP  to one another.  I laid out the numbers and the paper strip onto white cardstock before adhering them so I could line up the sentiment.  Of course it took three tries to get the sentiment correct before it was heat embossed.  Then I assembled the numbers and the paper strip onto the white background paper.
Note:    Fifty two years ago I met a girl walking home from high school and we realized we were in typing class together.  We became fast friends and she was an important part of my teenage years.  Our birthdays are four days apart (and one year) and we have sent one another gifts and cards all this time.  This is Dodie's 70th birthday (not mine yet) and this card will go to her - a special card for a special friend.  She loves purple and decorates her home in an eclectic style so I found this zany art piece at a boutique to send her and I am letting you take a peek.

Stamp - MFT "All Occasion Sentiments"
Die Cut - MFT "High-Rise Numbers"
Paper - Neenah, SU! Perfect Plum cardstock, Perfect Plum Designer Series Paper
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots"
Other - Versafine, clear embossing powder

CASology: Week 69: BROWN


 

Week 69 of CASology has the cue word brown.  I chose this Unity stamp set of the week and stamped the turkey image onto Neenah paper.  The bird, legs, shoes and hat band were colored with copics.    I stamped the feathers in five different papers and the hat and bow two more making a total of seven paper scraps each feather was cut and glued in place.  I then fussy cut Mr. Turkey and attached it to kraft paper using mounting tape.   The verbiage was stamped and heat embossed, Martha Stewart bakers twine was tied on the top and the bottom corners were punched using a corner punch.  It took me a couple stabs at coming to this finished piece but a white background paper was boring.

Stamp - Unity "Turkey Talk"
Paper - Neenah, SU! Kraft, scraps of 7 papers
Ink - Memento, Versafine and Copics
Other - Martha Stewart baker's twine, Tombow liquid glue, mounting tape, clear embossing powder

MUSE Challenge #41

 
 
The initial attempt was stamping the tree in blue ink but it was pathetic so I stamped in black ink and heat embossed and colored with SU! writers.  My connection to this Muse challenge is the off set lone tree, embossed background paper, the color blue and the metallic ribbon.
First I trimmed the blue paper so that the white was a mat, then I dry embossed and then die cut the opening.   The tree was colored with SU! writers.   After the blue paper was glued onto the white paper I then used crystal lacquer on the blue ornament.  Lastly I attached the silver ribbon.
 
Stamps - Unity "Small Stuff Christmas", SU! sentiment
Paper - SU! Bashful Blue, Gina K
SU! Markers - Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, Baked Brown Sugar, Bashful Blue

CASology Week 68: BLACK


 
 
Wow the cue word at CASology is black.  I thought a lot about what to make and when a new stamp arrived from Unity I decided on the card.  Funny how one thinks okay this will be clean, simple and easy and then you touch the just heated embossing powder.  At first I thought of white background paper but that was too stark and then I selected Basic Gray paper and that was too dark and then I remembered I had purchased Smoky Slate.  Using Versamark I stamped onto black paper and then used a NBU embossing powder "Silver Satin Pearl" and heat embossed the image.  I popped up the stamped image with mounting tape.  There you have another Christmas card made and I like it.

MUSE Challenge Week #40

 
 

This week at MUSE the lovely Darnell is the guest designer.  My inspiration for the card is Darnell a person who is kind and thoughtful to all.  I chose a favorite stamp of mine Flower Fields and marked it with SU! writers and spritzed with water.  When dry I stamped the verbiage and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Next I matted the image onto Melon Mambo SU! paper.  On the left side of the base cardstock I attached a strip of washi tape, and then attached the design.  I used the colors used by Darnell (a great combination) and attached the "pearl" which was significant in her story.

Stamps - Stampendous "Flower Fields", verbiage SU! (set unknown)
Paper - SU! Whisper White, Melon Mambo
Ink - SU! Writers Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding, Old Olive
Other - Versafine, embossing powder, washi tape, pearl

CASOLOGY Week 66: PUMPKIN




Well this week the cue word for CASology is pumpkin.  Didn't I do that last week?  In yesterday's mail I received my weekly stamp from Unity (what a sucker for stamps) and I thought this verbiage was lovely.  Earlier in the week while at lunch with a friend a man approached me and gave me a very sweet compliment.  When I mentioned this to son #1 he suggested I "play it forward."  And that is what I will do with this card.  I will send it to my granddaughter (16) who has been so helpful to me with my blog despite the fact we live 400 miles away from one another.  I feel so blessed and grateful that she is my granddaughter - she is a lovely young woman.

Onward.  The image was inked and heat embossed and then I colored with copics.  Dang have I said that before?  I die cut with the cute Lil Inkers rectangle and then matted with a piece of green paper.  I embossed with Swiss Dots and then mounted the cute bear with pumpkin image using mounting tape.

Honestly I was not going to make a card this week.  Right now I should be packing for a train trip to the Grand Canyon but decided I wanted to make a card for Ashley.  Hope I see some fall foliage because I have not seen any yet.  And I just got a phone asking if we could babysit the grandsons (ages 4 and 7) for son #2 who lives closeby.  Sure.  What more could one ask for in life grandkids and cardmaking. 

Paper - Neenah, SU! Green Galore
Copics - E07, 25, 27, 37, YR12, 14, 16, 18, G24, 28, Y17, BG10

CASology Week 65: CRISP



For this week's CASology the cue word is "crisp."  My first thoughts were lettuce or a clean white shirt.  Well I have neither stamp so I thoughts crisp should mean the look of the card such as clean and simple.  My take of crisp then is this one layer card and after scoring I then die cut the center of the panel and then embossed with an embossing folder.  The stamp image was centered in the middle of the aperature with ink and heat embossed.  Using an aqua brush and SU! markers I colored the pumpkin and flowers and applied a pearl pen into the center of the yellow flowers.  Thinking of You verbiage was stamped beneath the image and out of sight of the closed card.

Stamp - Unity Pumpkin Blossoms, SU! (verbiage, set unknown)
Die Cut - Nestabilities Circle
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug Divine Swirl
Markers - SU! Daffodil Delight, Perfect Plum, Pistachio Pudding, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Ruby Red, Crisp Cantaloupe
Other - Versafine Ink, Viva Pearl Pen (Cream)

CASology: Week 64: Harvest




This card is for CASology's theme of "harvest."  I selected this stamp set from Our Craft Lounge and chose several of the components.  On watercolor paper I first stamped the corn and did this by coloring with SU! markers and then spritzing with water and letting this dry completely.  Next I separately stamped the two baskets and the corn and heat embossed them.  The coloring was done with markers and an aqua brush.  I rub the marker on an acrylic block and pick the color up with the brush.  This image was die cut and then embossed within the die cut (too much work).  I mounted this piece onto another piece of watercolor paper.  Separately I stamped and embossed the verbiage, from a different stamp set, cut it, scored it and punched a hole and attached with jute twine.

Thoughts:  In the last few weeks I have made many cards in the fall/harvest theme and this is my favorite.  I consider myself a copic gal but I so enjoy using the watercolor techniques and keep trying different methods.  Heat embossing an image makes for controlled coloring.  Since I was a young girl I have loved to color and thus the name of my blog.  The spelling of colour was used to show my English birthplace and little did I know when I chose the spelling would I encounter so many Canadians and Brits - guess the joke is on me.  I was born in England to an English mother and an American father (during WWII) but because of my father's citizenship I am an American.

Stamps: Our Craft Lounge (no longer in business) "Bountiful Harvest",  Sweet 'n Sassy "Rhubarb's Autumn Joys" (verbiage)
Markers:  SU! Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, Pistachio Pudding, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Close to Cocoa

Less is More Sketch #10




This card was made for Less is More Sketch 10.  The wind catcher image was stamped with Versafine and heat embossed onto watercolor paper and then die cut.  Using an aqua painter, blender pen and SU! markers I applied the colors.  The stars and the circle were colored with At You Spica pens.  When the image was completely dry I applied Pacific Point writer pen onto an acrylic block and wet the ink then with the brush applied this color around the entire image.  Mounting tape was used to attach the circle image.  The verbiage was also heat embossed and cut out with a SU! punch.

CASology Week 63: AUTUMN

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Week 63 for CASology is Autumn.  The stamp I have selected is from Memory Box and I stamped it in Memento Rich Cocoa and then colored with Copics and colored pencils.  All three layers of paper were die cut using Lil Inkers.  There were no leaves changing color in our neighborhood but I found some in Carlsbad Village, a neighboring town. 

Note: As my husband I were walking down the street collecting a few leaves a woman eating lunch in an outside restaurant told us people had been collecting leaves all the time they were sitting there.  We leave for the San Francisco area on Friday and I know on our eight hour road trip we will see many beautiful trees.  For those in that area Pacheco Pass, between I-5 and the 101, is one of my favorite areas in the fall.

Less Is More Week 138 - Fabric or Felt



 
"Less is More"
 
 

The theme for LIM is to use fabric or felt.  I chose new products felt, die cuts and stamp.  The teapot die cut uses two felt colors and the flower in the center comes from a different die cut.  I assembled all the pieces with liquid glue and attached it to a piece of cardstock that had been die cut.  The center of the flower was a SU! candy dot.  This piece was attached with mounting tape.  The verbiage was stamp and heat embossed.
Note:  Usually I use black ink but decided to try aqua and although it looks good in person it photos light.  It reads "Brewing up a birthday wish for you!"

Paper - SU! Confetti Cream
Stamp - Rubbernecker Stamps "Teatime"
Die Cuts - My Favorite Things "Always Time for Tea," "Hibiscus", Lil Inkers Rectangle

CAS(E) this sketch #46


 

This card was created for CAS(E) This Sketch.  I used SU! Wetlands stamp set for the first time and I think it is a great masculine stamp.  I used SU! markers and a blender pen on a piece of Whisper White paper and then die cut the image using MFT pierced die set.  The verbiage was attached to the lower part of the image and then this was mounted onto Old Olive cardstock and then attached to Confetti White cardstock.

CASology Week 62: ARROW



The cue word for this week's CASology is Arrow.  I used a new stamp set and die cut set from My Favorite Things.  First I stamped and heat embossed the verbiage on the lower center of SU! cardstock.  The arrows and shafts were die cut also using SU! cardstock.  I made at least four attempts with the stars starting with punches and then stamps and when I was not satisfied I ended up using some Mrs. Grossman's star stickers.

Stamp - MFT "Right on Target"
Die Cut - MFT "Feathers and Arrows"
Paper - SU! Confetti White, Ruby Red, Lovely Lilac, Tempting Turquoise, Kraft

ATCAS Challenge #22 Get Well



 
 
This card for ATCAS challenge #22 has the theme of Get Well.  I chose to use this older SU! stamp Upsy Daisy.  Using Distressed Markers I colored onto the stamp and spritzed it with water onto watercolor paper.  I trimmed the paper allowing enough room at the bottom that I could add verbiage and a touch of jute.  The verbiage was cut using two SU! punches.  Next using mounting tape I attached the piece onto a large piece of SU! Naturals White cardstock.
 
I really like trying different methods of watercolor and this particular image and layout I will use for a very non-traditional holiday card.  Instead of going out and buying new Christmas paper and stamps I decided to use what I have.  Despite this being an old stamp it is NBUS (Darnell lingo).  My Christmas card will be using old Bravo Burgundy paper and BB, Real Red and Old Olive ink.
 
Stamps - SU! "Upsy Daisy," MFT "All Occasion Sentiments"
Paper - SU! Naturals White, Daffodil Delight, watercolor paper
Markers - Ranger Distress Markers: Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Barn Door, Shabby Shutters
Other - Memento Ink, burlap twine

Less Is More Week 137 - One Layer Card "Get Well Soon"



The theme for Less is More is Get Well Soon.  I selected this older stamp which makes me think of Beatrix Potter.  I stamped and heat embossed the design onto watercolor paper and then colored with SU! markers, water and an aqua brush and blender pen.  The verbiage was stamped and heat embossed.

Stamp - All Night Media "Camomile Tea", MFT "Fred Bear Gives Comfort" (verbiage)
Ink - Versafine, SU! Markers: Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Certainly Celery, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar, Basic Black
Other - Aqua Painter, Blender Pen, Embossing Powder

Note:  Try as I might I cannot get this post positioned the way I want.  I am doing okay with clean and simple but posting on the blog is still difficult for me.  Next month I will see my granddaughter in the San Francisco area (an 8 hour drive) and hopefully she can give me some much needed assistance.

CASology: Week 61: SILHOUETTE


 
This card is for CASology Week 61 with the cue word silhouette.  I have made a few cards with silhouettes lately and I like making them.  This particular stamp I used a few weeks ago but was not happy with the results.  The stamp is line art so I had to fill in with a black marker.  I colored with both distress ink and SU! ink pads onto watercolor paper using a makeup sponge in a circular stroke.  The sky is tumbled glass, the ocean blue bayou, and the sand is a blend of frayed burlap, chocolate chip and basic gray.

Last week we took four year old grandson Jake to the beach which is about 20 minutes from our home.  This was our first time putting our feet in the Pacific Ocean in the two years we have lived here.  Jake had a terrific time and I enjoyed looking and analyzing the ocean, the sky, the sand and the surroundings.  And that being said it gave me a much better perspective on how to make this card and I am satisfied with the end result.

Stamp- Deep Red "Beach Chairs"
Ink - Distress Ink: Frayed Burlap, Tumbled Glass
    SU!: Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, Basic Gray
Ink: StazOn, Basic Black SU! marker
Other:  Watercolor paper

CAS(E) this Sketch #44


 
This card is for CAS(e) this Sketch week 44.  I stamped the birds with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored them with copics.  I only used the branch of the matching die cut set and used a piece of leftover brown embossed paper.  The verbiage was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I applied Snow Marker to the cap of the center bird, and gave him some feather lines with a copic liner pen, and applied some random snow droplets.  This piece of card stock was trimmed and then mounted with pop-dots to a larger piece of white cardstock.
