CASology #199 FAST

Happy Tuesday! Time for a new CASology challenge. This week's cue is FAST!

For my simple one layer card, I dry embossed the PTI Scene It Backer die onto the center of the white card base. I love this die because it a large, slightly ridged circle. I stamped streamers from the PTI Hooray set in various happy colors within the embossed circle and added the simple sentiment from PTI Special Delivery sentiments. 

Check out the Design Team's takes on FAST - so many different and fun interpretations!

ColourQ Take 3

Last card for this week's ColourQ challenge. Since these colors remind me of water, I used them for thank you cards for my daughter's swim coaches. 

I used streamers from PTI Hooray set in the challenge colors to create festive background while still remaining masculine for her male coach. Sentiment from PTI Thanks All Ways. 

That's it for me. Thanks for popping in! 

ColourQ #305

Back again posting a couple more cards I made today. First one is for the Colour Q challenge which I haven't played with in a while. 

These colors were so bright and cheerful I thought they would pair well with the new balloon dies I got from Simon Says Stamp. Birthday die cut is from PTI Super Swoosh. 

I masked off a strip and blended in Summer Sunrise and Lemon Tart inks on the strip. I added a few streamers from the Hooray stamp set and used some small enamel dots to embellish them. Sentiment is from PTI Good Times. 

So glad to have a few hours of crafty time earlier but now the family is back home so who knows if and when I'll get to create more tonight. Hopefully, fingers crossed. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Finish Strong for OWH

Hello -

Sharing a couple of cards today. First uses the PTI Hooray set which I've never used for a fun birthday or congratulations card.  I stamped the streamers in the colors from this week's ColourQ challenge. I split the panel and added a few fun enamel dots.

Next card I'm sharing is for the new Pinterest Inspired challenge. This beautiful pattern was the inspiration for this month.

I was very inspired by the colors and the graphical florals so I decided to create my own graphic focal point using PTI Round Repeats. I split the panel horizontally again to create some interest. Sentiment is from the PTI Scripted collection. 

And just wanted to say goodbye to Operation Write Home which is winding down operations this year. Thanks for Sandy and everyone at OWH for their support of our troops and giving crafters an opportunity to help them as well. 

I sent in my last OWH package last month - 235 cards. It was a lot of work getting the cards ready - inserting white liners, stamping the backs of the cards with the OWH stamp, and prepping them with envelopes - but I made their final deadline! I was excited to send in one last package to help. 

My Thank You cards....

That's it for me today. Hope you are having a great weekend! Thanks for popping by!
