CASology Week #292...Foil

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is FOIL.  I pulled out some patterned paper from my collection that has these festive dots--hard to see in this photo, but the darker dots are gold foil.  All I needed to do was add a sentiment--I used a STAMPlorations Birthday die cut, stacked 4 deep, and also stamped the word happy in Delicata Gold on a piece of scrap and cut it out.

Now it's your turn.  How does FOIL 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.

Weekly Round Up

Happy Friday.  I'm kicking off the weekend with a post of several cards I've made this week.

First up is a sweet little number using PTI Life is What You Bake it stamps and dies and the sketch at

CAS(E) this Sketch #263.  This mixer looks exactly like the one I have in my kitchen.  I love it in red--it matches the knobs on my stove.

One more card with that mixer, this one using the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #328.

A card for Seize the Birthday, where the toppings option is Teal and White.  I cased this card by Melissa during the PTI release week.  Turns out that I have 4 shades of paper and ink in the teal family.  I am also entering this at AAA Cards #110: Ombre.

And, last up is a card using Concord & 9th Globe Greetings, inspired by the sketch at Where Creativity Meets C9 #19.

CASology Week #291...Bug

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is BUG.  I looked and looked through my stash, but I didn't have any insect stamps.  But, then I started thinking of the spy novels I like to read sometimes, and how they sometimes place a bug in the phone to get the plot going, and then I knew exactly what I would do.

I am also going to enter this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge:  Girl Power, as of course this fabulous pink princess phone is meant for a powerful girl.

Now it's your turn.  How does BUG 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.

Two Birthday Cards

Happy Monday.  I'm popping in to post 2 birthday cards I made yesterday.

First up is a card I made, inspired by this colorful card by Melissa for the PTI new product release.  She used the new pen stamp, and I used Pencil Me In.  I just love the way this card turned out, but I have to tell you that I was holding my breath by the end.  So much stamping and lining up, and I was really afraid I'd mess it up and then have to start all over again.

By the time I got all the pencils stamped, I was too scared to stamp a sentiment, so I opted for a die cut sentiment.

I am entering this card at PTI Create Along with Us, CASual Fridays #194: Beautiful Rainbows, and Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.

I was inspired by the color challenge at Paper Players #384: Any Shade of Pink to pull out a bunch of different shades of pink paper and my MFT Jungle Friends dies to get started on my next card.

I am also entering this card at CAS(E) This Sketch #262, AAA Cards #110: Ombre and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Girl Power.

That's it for me today.  Come back tomorrow, when I'll be posting the new CASology challenge for this week.

Paint Chips and a Bookmark

I was inspired to pull out my paint chips by the Ombre challenge at AAA Cards #110 this week.  Once I had them out, I had great fun playing around with them, and ended up with three cards.

I started with a palette of blues, and used a MFT die to cut out the word 'hugs'.  I stacked a few die cuts under this for dimension, and then added the rest of the sentiment from PTI Big Hugs.  I am also entering this card at Less is More #366: Monochrome.

Next, I took another paint chip of various shades of teal, and die cut the word 'birthday' and also some balloons.  I followed the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #262.  I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes. 

For my last paint chip card, I stacked the die cut letters left over from my first card, and then laid them out on the diagonal, surrounded by some flowers.  I laid everything out on a die cut with diagonal stripes from Lil Inkers, so I could be sure everything was spaced evenly.

I am entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Girl Power.

I also have a bookmark to share--it is two sided and incorporates my new PTI Lilies of the Valley stamps as well as a couple of miscellaneous sentiments.  I am entering this bookmark at The Flower Challenge #18: Anything Goes and The Paper Players #383: Spring Has Sprung.
