CASology #223 TEAM

So with the World Series just finishing last week (Congrats Cubs!) and fall kids sports in full swing, we've got a great new word for you this week at CASology.

For my card, I cut a piece of white cardstock using the PTI Tipped Tops and stamped the 'Go Team' banner (from an old AMuse set) in a number of colors along the bottom at an angle. I nestled the simple Good Luck sentiment. I adhered it to a complimentary card base and added a bunch of enamel dots for a little bit of fun. 

Check out what the rest of the Design TEAM has created to inspire you -

CASology #192 SPROUT

Happy Thursday friends! Time for a new CASology cue word. This week we are challenged with SPROUT. Perfect for this time of year here but also is a challenge.

For my SPROUT card, I used a branch stamp and sentiment from AMuse. I cut a rectangle stitched panel (Lil Inkers) and stamped the branch coming out from the one side. I added a few leaves in PTI New Leaf which is such a vibrant fresh green that reminds me of new growth. I blended in some Aqua Mist ink beneath the branch to mimic the sky and ground the brush on the panel. Card base is Aqua Mist as well. 

Can't wait to see how you interpret SPROUT this week! Be sure to check out where my fabulous teammates took SPROUT this week. And shout out to this week's sponsor So Suzy Stamps!

CASology #187 : SPIN

It's Tuesday. Start of a brand new month and a new CASology challenge starts today. This week's challenge is SPIN. Such a fun word with SO MANY different possibilities. 

I kept my card CAS by keeping it one layer. I stamped a row of colorful pinwheels along the bottom of the card (stamp from AMuse) and added a matching enamel dot to the center of each. Sentiment is from Lil Inkers. 

Be sure to check out the fabulous cards made by my fellow design team members. Such varied, pretty, and clever takes on SPIN. I am still pinching myself at being included on this team with these fabulous ladies.

CASology #185: EGG

It's Tuesday so that means a new CASology cue card. This week its EGG.

Wish I could say that this card came easy. But that's why this is called a challenge right? 

I didn't have any stamps of eggs of any kind but so I went with chicks. Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  LOL. 

I used an old AMuse wooden stamp of three little dancing chicks. I had gotten rid of many of my wooden stamps but kept a few cute AMuse image like this one. I stamped the chickens on bottom corner of white yardstick which I cut into a partial egg shape with Pretty Pink Posh Stitched borders. I stamped an oval in Soft Stone underneath the chicks to ground them and colored them in with Copics. I cut a second panel out of a dark blue/turquoise Bazzill card stock with the same stitched border die and added them both to a light blue AMuse card base. Took some playing around before I got the angles right and I love how it turned out! 

 Check out the rest of the Design Team's "EGGcellent" creations....Can't wait to see how you guys interpret our cue word this week. Who knows you may win the prize from our sponsor STAMPlorations.

CASology:Basket

So I have to admit that I was a little stumped when I saw CASology's Cue Card: Basket this week. I don't recall having any baskets in my stamp collection. Baskets of flowers just aren't my thing. I did have hot air balloon baskets but someone on the DT already used that set so didn't want to copy it. 

So I went through my stash of wooden and non-PTI stamps and found the AMuse Sports set. SCORE! 

I was inspired to keep it simple by the Colour Me....Monochromatic challenge so I stamped the basketball hoop and ball in black but colored the basketball in with Copics. Matted the white card on orange and adhered the whole panel with foam tape on a polka dotted card base made from AMuse card stock. LOVE that I dug into my stash for both the paper and stamp. 

Thanks for taking a peek!
