For the THRILL of It at CASology

I'm always up for a thrill...and so is CASology! This week our cue card is:

I am a super hero movie lover and this stamp is a nod to just that and comic books! I used an older stamp set called Ka-Pow from The Alley Way Stamps (sweet small business that sadly closed in 2016). PLEASE support small businesses <3

After the stamping, I cut out a second "explosive", colored it with Copics, adhered it with adhesive foam for dimension, then covered it with Glossy Accents! I think this is a great guy card :)

Let's see what the rest of the DT got a kick out of this week!

Operation COPPER at CASology!

Time to shine at CASology!

I adore the color of copper! I used both a silk microfine glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs and embossing powder from Hero Arts. The trick to using this glitter is to use a double-sided adhesive paper and burnish the glitter onto one of the sticky sides. I'm sure I'll find glitter on myself for the next week lol!

The flowers are from the Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations die called Tattered Florals and the sentiment is from Concord & 9th's Love You. Mean It. stamp set.

Time to see how the other DT cards shimmer and shine this week!

It's a JUNGLE out there!

Happy CASology Tuesday! We're going wild this week :)

Our new cue card:

I decided to go with 3 colors of green and the Scandinavian Prints stamp set by Neat & Tangled to mimic the colors and foliage in the jungle. Pops of blue work great with those greens too. The sentiment if from WPlus9's set called Doodlebuds.

The DT has some great takes on this week's cue card, so vine swing over to their blogs too!

Time to get ACTIVE at CASology

Happy Tuesday! This week is a good at CASology; we're showing how to enjoy your

day and send some cards encouraging everyone to have some fun.

Our cue card this week is:

I'm so ready for a real spring season to hit these Maryland streets! This stamp set from Simon Says Stamp has the exact sentiments I'm feeling in my soul right now...and it's all active, but very relaxing.

This is about as CAS a design as I could get, one layer and all :)

Hopefully, you find time to check out the other DT pages and see how they got busy this week.
