CASology #180: OPEN

Hello, friends!  It's time for our next CASology cue card!


So many ideas went through my mind when I saw this cue.  Obviously, open space on the card is a great interpretation for a clean and simple card challenge like CASology! I also thought of open house, open heart, open mind, open window/door.  Open your wings and fly.  Opening presents.  Opening bottles...and jars!  

Whoop...there it is.

I used a Paper Sweeties stamp and die set, and I paper-pieced the cloth cover of the lid for some extra interest.  The gingham-embossed card base helps keep white space open but also adds some interest to the card.  The jar is mounted on foam tape for a little dimension.

Supplies:
Paper Sweeties Mason Jar Bundle and twine
Cuttlebug "Gingham" embossing folder
Copic markers, patterned paper, corner rounder

I can't wait to see how you interpret the cue this week!  Be sure to link up your OPEN card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue, so be sure to check out their blogs for more inspiration!

While I'm at it, I want to extend a warm welcome to our newest Design Team members: Deidre, Jacquie, and Sherrie.  We are so lucky to have these three talented ladies joining our team...be sure to leave them some love!
