CASology Week #184: Valentine

This is my second post for today.  If you are looking for my ColourQ post,  please click here.

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.  This week, our cue word is Valentine.  With Valentines Day right around the corner, now is a great time to get any last minute Valentine cards made and into the mail.

I decided to go uber CAS this week, with a simple frame of red hearts surrounding my sentiment.  I'm thinking this might be the one that I give to DH this year.

I am going to enter this card in a few other challenges, as there are a lot this week for Valentine's Day:  Just Us Girls #329, CAS on Sunday #76, Simon Says Wednesday: Have a Heart, The Card Concept #48, and AAA Cards #57: Love.

Now, it's your turn.  How does Valentine inspire you?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

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

We are sponsored this week by Uniko Studio.

Happy Tuesday and welcome to a new challenge at ColourQ.

I used PTI Ombre Builders stamps to create a stamped panel for the front of my card, adding a sentiment and accents in gold.

Sympathy and Prayers

The PTI anniversary challenge for today asks us to create a project with supplies gathered in 5 minutes.  I used the Triangle Cover Plate, Distress inks and Keep it Simple Sympathy stamps.

I took my inspiration from the photo at the Pinterest Inspired Challenge

My next card is white on white with a sentiment in Delicata Gold, and I took inspiration from the challenge at Less is More, where they are celebrating their 5th birthday.

I cut the PTI Peony Cover Plate out of white card stock and adhered it to a white card base.  I stamped my sentiment onto a stitched sentiment flag and popped it up with foam tape.

I am also linking this card up at Addicted to CAS #81:  Bloom and Addicted to Stamps and More #179:  Clean and Simple.

I will be sending this cards along to Jennifer McGuire for her Lasting Hearts card drive to comfort mothers who have lost a child.

Flower Cards

Hello and happy Saturday.  

I am playing along with the festivities for PTI's 9th Anniversary.  My first card is for the Day 1 challenge, and uses Kay's color scheme.

I pulled out my latest flower set from PTI, Bold Blossoms.  I followed this week's sketch at The Challenge #59.

I must really love this card and these colors, because I already CASEd it here.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to CAS #81:  Bloom.

Today's PTI Anniversary challenge asks us to find inspiration from our clothing.  I pulled out a sweater I recently bought at Whte House Black Market that reminded me of Rosie Posie when I bought it.

I wanted to capture the white background as well as the red and white roses.  I stamped some roses in Fresh Snow directly on to my black card front and then adhered some die cut roses stamped in Pure Poppy accented with Scarlet Jewel.

Last up is a card I made last week but never got a chance to post.  I used my Winnie and Walter Maggies Roses dies for the first time.  I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #179 Clean and Simple.

I will be sending this cards along to Jennifer McGuire for her Lasting Hearts card drive to comfort mothers who have lost a child.

Time Out #49...just a note

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Time Out.  This week, our challenge is to be inspired by words...

"Love is the flower you've got to let grow." 

-John Lennon

I looked for some flowers in my collection that were composed of hearts, and found these sweet little blooms from PTI Flower Fusion.

Our guest designer this time is Valentyna, so please make sure to stop by and see what she has made for this challenge.

I hope that you will take some Time Out to play along with us over the next two weeks.  Please see the Time Out challenge blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team.

CASology Week #183: Glitter

This is my second post for today.  If you are looking for my ColourQ post,  please click here.

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.  This week, our cue word is Glitter.  I love glitter, but glitter does not always love me.  Or, maybe it loves me so much that it tries to stick to every part of me for days and days after I use it.

I decided to use some glitter washi tape this week.  It is a great way to use glitter without the mess.

I split my front panel, and stuck my glitter tape in the gap, adding texture to my card front before popping it up with foam tape.  I also added a little drop of gold glitter Stickles to the center of my little die cut flowers.

Now, it's your turn.  How does Glitter inspire you?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

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

We are sponsored this week by DeNami Design.

ColourQ #327....With Sympathy

If you are looking for my CASology post, please click here.

Happy Tuesday and welcome to a new challenge at ColourQ.   Same as last week, I thought of flowers when I saw this week's colors. What will you think of?

I must admit that the most challenging part of this week's color scheme to me was figuring out how to use Cherry Cobbler and Ruby Red on the same card.  I decided to use Cherry Cobbler paper to frame my images, die cutting the paper with the Embroidered Borders die from PTI.  I popped up a couple of the blossoms to add interest and also allow them to peek over the edge of the frame.

I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #328 Wildcard Week, and I am using the middle column (die cuts; stamps; flowers).

Jennifer McGuire is hosting the Lasting Hearts card drive to comfort mothers who have lost a child.  I will be sending this card to her for this drive.  This card drive is going on through the end of February, so you have plenty of time if you would like to participate as well.

Please head on over to the ColourQ challenge blog to see more inspiration from the design team. I hope you will join in the fun and play along this week.
