CASology #50: FREE

Hello, friends!  How fitting that this week's CASology cue should be the word FREE...because I am finally on summer vacation and FREE of work (for the most part) until September!  Now THAT is freedom!


Now that school is out, my family begins to prepare for our annual barbecue to celebrate July 4th, our Independence Day here in the USA.  This year I am giving out a little favor to our guests (this little Christmas tree ornament) and I made cards to go along with them.  Here are several cards that celebrate being FREE here in the USA! 





This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest made by Zoie...must give credit where it is due!
 

 
These two cards are the same but I reversed the patterned paper...and put one star on an angle (after much deliberation and mustering of strength!)



Just using up what was left of the patterned paper...a few more stars!

I used my Spellbinders Nestabilities star dies, a Hero Arts sentiment, washi tape, some patterned papers and gems/sequins for these quick CAS cards.    


This cue can go in many directions, and I do hope you will play along.  Check out the inspiration provided by our guest designer and the design team, too...that may help trigger some ideas if you are stuck!  Cards are due by Sunday 4:00 p.m. (CDT).
