CASology Week #370...Father

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is FATHER.  I decided to use this as an opportunity to make a Father's Day card.  My father and my father-in-law are both originally from New York, so I pulled out the New York skyline stamp from Tim Holtz Cityscape stamps and created two very quick Father's Day cards.  I kept my color scheme very simple, and changed the orientation of the card so I would have two similar, but not the same, Father's Day cards.


I think I like the vertical orientation best.  How about you?

Now it's your turn.  How does FATHER inspire you?


As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

1. One main image
2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
3. Limited layers & embellishments
4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)

I hope you play along this week.

Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from our Guest Designer and the CASology design team.  We are sponsored by STAMPlorations.

My Crafty Weekend

Another crafty weekend is ending, and I am here to post what I have created. 

I finally pulled out Ellen Hutson Subbing in and created this punny card.  Of course my first submarine has to be yellow. I am entering it at Addicted to Stamps and More #392: Make Your Mark, Just Add Ink #508: Just Add "F" (fish) and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background.

While my stamps and markers were out, I made a second card, and I am entering this card at all the same challenges above.

Next up is a card made with ray of sunshine patterned papers and a new (I think) die from MFT called Say Hello.  I am entering this card at Just Us Girls #539: Sunshine and The Paper Players #494: Sunshine and Rainbows.

Advancing the clock out to winter, I am entering my next card at Lawn Fawnatics #78: Create a Scene, Addicted to Stamps and More #392: Make Your Mark, and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background.

I hope you are laughing at this next card, because I laughed when I made it.  I can think of a number of people I could send this card to.  I am entering this card at Color Throwdown 596, Inkspirational #214: Funny Sentiments and Addicted to Stamps and More #392: Make Your Mark.

Last of all, a CAS birthday card that I am entering at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday: Masculine.

Friday Round Up

TGIF, right?

I am playing along at Poppystamps #69: Clean and Simple and a new challenge to me, Inspired by...Colorful Kicks.  I used Poppystamps Brevilla Houses dies and cut a group of colorful houses, playing on the row of colorful sneakers in the Inspired by photo.  This sentiment is from Picket Fence Leave as a Friend, and I think it is perfect for a card of encouragement.

The challenge at Melissa's Fab Friday Feature is 'Sending Handmade Hugs', so I pulled out PTI Big Hugs and used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #438 to create my next card.

Next up is a card for Ink to Paper's Project Reach Out: Thinking of You and uses the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #375.   I pulled out PTI Flower Favorite stamps (5 years old?) to make this card, and I am also entering it at Retro Rubber #136:  Summer Time (my flowers bloom in the summer).   I am also entering this card at Just Add Ink #508: Just Add "F" (flowers).

Last up is a birthday card using the MFT Birthday Big Balloons stencil, and I am using the sketch challenge at MFT #492 and the colors at MFT Color #142.  I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #166: Birthday and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Masculine.

Happy Birthday and Father's Day

Hello...I made this fun card for the Lawn Fawnatics #78:  Create a Scene challenge, Addicted to Stamps and More #392: Make Your Mark, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge:  Make Your Own Background, and Inkspirational #214: Funny Sentiment (I hand wrote the punny part '2 ewe').

Next is a birthday card featuring my very favorite bridge, the Marvelous Bridge die from Memory Box, and I am entering this card at Outside the Box #62: Birthday, AAA Cards #166: Birthday Bash and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge:  Make Your Own Background.

My last card for today is inspired by the colors at CAS Colours & Sketches #373,  Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Masculine, and Use Your Stuff #399: Father's Day.
