CASology Week #257: Wish

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is WISH.

I broke out my Wishes Come True stamp set and stamped a rainbow of candles.

Here is the first card I made.  It looked to me like my rainbow was backwards, so I completed the card and then made another one, putting the colors in reverse order.

Now it's your turn.  How does WISH 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.

CASology Week #160: Number

Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  Our cue word this week is NUMBER.   My thoughts went to birthdays and candles and counting the candles...you get the drift.

I stamped a bunch of candles from PTI Wishes Come True and then (carefully) arranged them randomly.  To preserve white space, I stamped my sentiment on a banner that I adhered over my candles.

Before attaching anything to my card front, I used the PTI Numbers impression plate to add some texture and interest to my card front.

Now, it's your turn.  How are you inspired by NUMBER?  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.

Happy Birthday and Organizing Some of My Inks

I have just one card to share today.  I used the colors from this week's ColourQ and was heavily influenced by Kim's inspiration card this week.  I had seen several folks use Birthday Wishes recently--Marybeth, and Rhonda, so I decided to use those candles for my card.  After stamping and embossing my card front, I cut a space for part of the sentiment.

Here is a close up of the embossing on the card front.  I am entering this card at CAS on Sunday #55: Numbers as well as Addicted to Stamps #139:  CAS.

I have been busy organizing some of my inks.  I bought these CD racks from Target that I saw people use as hanging ink pad holders, and decided to combine and organize my inks from Hero Arts, WPlus9, Simon Says Stamp and Heidi Swapp.

And, I created a ring of swatches, so I can see all of the colors together.

I hope that this will make it easier for me to see what ink colors I have and encourage me to reach for them more often.  Plus, I love how the swatches look--so pretty.

Two Birthday cards

When I saw this week's CAS(E) this Sketch I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  And, the playful colors at Colour Me fit perfectly with my idea.  I was very happy to see that I had all the right SU inks for these colors.

I made a birthday card for my daughter to bring to a party tomorrow--I used the LID Give a Hoot Gift Card Holder die and some SU pattern paper.  This one was so quick and easy.   No room to stamp a greeting on the front, so I'll stamp something inside.

I am also entering both of these cards at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes and Seize the Birthday without toppings.
