CASology# 277 ROUND

Happy last week in November! It's a final CASology challenge for November and we hope that you will be inspired to play along.

I took ROUND literally and created a little round gift card to accompany a birthday gift. The recipient is an adult male so I kept the color scheme in the monochromatic blue/grey family. Using a monochromatic color scheme keeps a design CAS.

The card design in 3 layered circles. The bottom, card base was made by die-cutting a stitched circle on folded cardstock and leaving the edge hanging off so that it doesn't cut the complete circle. The result is a partially rounded cut card. I die cut smaller sizes of the stitched circle and cut off the edge to layer. The sentiment from PTI In The Bag was stamped on the smallest circle. Easy peasy and it ROUNDness makes it special. 

See how ROUND inspired the rest of the DT:

CASology #276 CHEER

Happy Tuesday again! Kinda feels like Groundhog Day around here because I've been so busy that I've only been creating and posting for the CASology challenges lately. Hope that will change soon!

We are entering the holiday season so we've got an appropriately fun word for you....CHEER! So many ways to take this card so I'm sure the gallery will be brimming with a variety of CHEERful cards.  

For my take, I wanted to use a CHEERS sentiment from PTI along with some cool triangles from the PTI Sketched Shapes set (one of my favorites!) to border the sentiment on both sides. I added some enamel dots along the side to continue the line from top to bottom. The left side remains open to maintain white space and keep it CAS. 

Check out the CHEERful designs the rest of the DT came up with!

CASology #275 SHARP

Hi friend! Let's see how creative and SHARP you are with this week's CASology challenge.

Plenty of possibilities with SHARP. I took SHARP two different ways - 1) a sentiment about having SHARP eyesight and 2) I used double ended banners which have sharp points. The funny sentiment I chose as my card's focal point is from PTI Offbeat Birthday. I stamped it in black and matted the panel in black to help it stand out against the rainbow of banners I used as my background. 

Check out the other ways the DT went with SHARP...

CASology #274 TINY

Hello friends. We've got a new CASology challenge for you and its time for you to think TINY.

For my card, I looked for my tiniest of stamps. I stamped a small flower image (from PTI Choose Joy) at the bottom corner of my card and embossed a partial stitched zig zag line from a border die to ground the floral image. The lower case, small font sentiment from PTI Comfort Food additions was stamped underneath the zigzag. Simple and sweet and PLENTY of white space.
