CASology Week 154: Repeat

Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for a new cue word at CASology.  This week, our cue word is REPEAT.  I used an image from PTI Round Repeats in some fun ink colors by WPlus9.  I repeatedly stamped the same image, varying only the color and placement of the stamp.  After stamping the sentiment, I impressed the front panel with the Picnic Plaid Impression Plate and then cut out the section with the sentiment so I could pop it up with foam tape.

I am also linking this card up at Make it Monday #217: Making Your Own Custom Borders.

So, how about you?  How are you inspired by REPEAT?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

CASE Study #150 and Color Your Own Thank You Sets

I have a card for this week's CASE Study #150.  As soon as I saw this card, I knew I wanted to use my new Round Repeats stamp set.  I pulled colors from the sample card and made my own focal point medallion--which was my inspiration.   My design was also inspired by this card by Maile Belles.

My youngest daughter is working with a friend, trying to make things to sell to raise money for our local animal shelter.  I just love that she has such a big heart.  I let her take a bunch of my stash of cards to sell, with all the proceeds going towards her cause.  

Then, I got to thinking about this post I saw a while back about 'Color Me Card Sets'.  Since Sarah's sales table is set up at the art camp she is currently volunteering at, I thought perhaps those parents and kids might be interested in something similar.  So, Sarah helped me pick some fun images from my stamp stash, and 'Color Your Own Thank You' card sets were the result.  

Here are a few representative pictures:

They were all pretty quick and easy to make, and each card is a 1/4 piece of white card stock.  I also stamped the front and back of the envelopes, and there is a place on the back for the 'artist' to sign their name.  We tied them up in groups of 4 or 5, and we will see how it goes.  I made 8 sets for her to sell, and if she needs more, I will set her and her friend to stamping them.

A Trio for Tuesday

My first card today uses the sketch from this week's Seize the Birthday STB20, and I will also link it up to the party at Stacey's Stamping Stage.  When I saw this card by Michelle yesterday, I knew exactly what I was going to do for this challenge.  I had been looking for a reason to dive into my new Round Repeats set and also somewhere to use my new Lil Inkers Stitched Circles dies.  I love the fact that the Stitched Circles dies cut stitching on both sides of the die cut space. 

My next card follows the sketch at this week's Mojo Monday MOJO300.  How fun to help Mojo Monday celebrate their 300th challenge.  I don't think I have played here since I started my blog almost 2 years ago.  I must say that I found this sketch 'challenging', but I guess that is the idea, right?  I am also linking it up to the party at Stacey's Stamping Stage. 

My last card for today is for this week's CASology #51, where the key word is FIREWORKS.  I am also playing in this week's A Blog Named Hero challenge #27:  Fave Stamp.  Today's favorite Hero Arts stamp is Newspaper Skyline.  This is the first time I have inked this baby up, and I just LOVE it.  I stamped it on white in SU Smokey Slate and fussy cut it out.  I popped it up on a background of SU Night of Navy that I stamped with WMS USA 1776 fireworks in Versamark and embossed them in Twinkle Cherry, Stampendous Winter Wonderland, and Ranger Silver.

I will be entering all of today's cards into this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge of Anything Goes.
