CASology #270: ODD

Hello, friends!  It's time for a new cue at CASology.

I used a free digital image from our sponsor, Uniko Studio.  How perfect...an ODD number of balloons!

With this one-layer CAS card, I am entering the current Happy Little Stampers October CAS Challenge: One Layer.

Another challenge for a one-layer card can be found at Inkspirational Challenge #145 this week!

I can't wait to see how you interpret the ODD cue card this week!  Be sure to link up your 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 this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!

CAS on Friday Challenge #118

Hello, friends!  I am here to share a one layer CAS card I made for the current challenge at CAS on Friday Challenge #118 where the theme is Fall/Halloween.  I send Halloween cards to my young nieces and nephews each year, so this will be the start of my stash!

With this one-layer CAS card, I am also entering the current Happy Little Stampers October CAS Challenge: One Layer.

I am also entering it into the current Inspirational Challenge #145: Designer's Choice to make a one-layer card.

Finally, I'm entering the Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge: Make Your Mark since I colored in these pumpkins with Copic markers and the sky with distress inks.

For my card, I stamped this pumpkin image, masked a frame and a circle for the moon, and then added distress inks for the sky.  Next, I unmasked the moon and colored with distress inks.  I colored the pumpkins with Copic markers and added some ultra fine glitter to the top edges as frost.  The bat image really pops in front of the yellow moon!

I love one layer cards because they are so easy to mail...no bulk, no damaged envelopes.  I may be making more of these...it was fun to color and I think it is a classic Halloween scene.  (All we need now is Linus awaiting the Great Pumpkin's arrival!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Precious Remembrance Shop {Inspire Me Friday}

Hi, everyone!  I'm here today with a sneak peek of my second Precious Remembrance Shop {Inspire Me Friday} post using the fun new release stamp set, "Happy Mail."  I made a Halloween project and paired this set up with an older set called "Beware."

               

Here is a sneak peek of my project:

CASology #269: GRID

Hello, friends!  It's Tuesday, and that means a new cue is up at CASology.

I was "off the grid" during last week's challenge as I was sick (i.e., in bed with fever sick) for a few days.  Thankfully I am back and ready to play along this week.

I had to look up the definition of "grid" because I wanted to make sure it meant what I thought it meant!  The basic definition of grid in the dictionary reads "a network of horizontal and perpendicular lines."  In order to keep it simple, I used a grid image as a background to my card.

Supplies:

Stamps: Precious Remembrance Shop (Fall Colors)

Inks: Memento (Tuxedo Black), distress inks (Peacock Feathers, Scattered Straw, Wild Honey)

I'm also entering this card into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

I can't wait to see how you interpret the cue card this week!  Be sure to link up your 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 this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!

Precious Remembrance Shop {Inspire Me Friday}

Hi, everyone!  I'm here today with a sneak peek of my first Precious Remembrance Shop {Inspire Me Friday} post using the fun new release stamp set, "Happy Mail."

Can I just say that I love the little envelope in this set?  That tiny heart is just too cute!

The "FRAGILE" sentiment reminded me of the scene in the movie A Christmas Story when the big box containing the infamous leg lamp is delivered and the dad reads the crate: "Fra-gi-le...it must be Italian!"  (You can see the clip HERE if you want a good chuckle!)  

I digress...

Here is a sneak peek of my project:

CASology #267: BIG

Hello, friends!  It's time for our next cue card at CASology...this week we are going BIG!

I decided to use a big sentiment paired with a big mug of something that plays a big part of my life...in my case, coffee!  All of my stamping supplies are STAMPlorations, our generous sponsor this week.  While I was at it, I made two cards, one on white cardstock and one on cream cardstock.

Supplies:
Stamps: STAMPlorations (Choose Happy, Sketchy Coffee Cups)
Inks: Hero Arts (Latte chalk ink), Shabby Shutters distress ink
Other: patterned papers

I'm inking up this card duo at the current Fall 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop as I tried to use fall colors in my inks and papers.

In addition, I'm entering them into the STAMPlorations Never-Ending Anything Goes Challenge as well as the Summer CAS Card Challenge which runs through October 5th.

  

I can't wait to see how you interpret the BIG cue card this week!  Be sure to link up your 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 this week...be sure to visit their blogs, too!

It's Time to Celebrate!

Hello, friends!  I'm sneaking in a little blogging time (before another crazy busy work/school week begins) to share a card I made for two current challenges:

(1) Seize the Birthday: Balloons!  (Yes, I did the optional topping of "balloons.")

(2) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Clean and Simple

I used a free digital image from Heather Ellis paired with a computer-generated sentiment and colored it with Copic markers.  This was a quick and easy card to make, and I kept it clean and simple by maintaining open space and no embellishments.

That's it for me tonight, off to pack lunches for tomorrow.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
