BEAR Hugs to You

Everybody loves a good teddy bear and we're no different at CASology this week!

Our new cue card is to showcase all your cuddly card skills:

See how I snuck in a smidge of Copic coloring lol. This little bear, sentiment, and dotted circle stamp are all from Circle Friends by Simon Says Stamp. I used 3 different primary color embossing powders. I also dry embossed the rings using 3 circle dies... I thought it would make a cute frame :)

Guest Designer: Tenia

Sponsor: Uniko Studios

I'm also joining the AAA Cards Challenge #118

Feeling a Little Squirrely at CASology

What conclusions are you going to JUMP to this week at CASology??

Well I was feeling a little squirrely :)

I don't think I could have gone any more CAS than this lol. And I really fought the urge to color these little guys...especially with the 30 Daily Coloring Challenge going on (check it out on Instagram). The sentiment is heat embossed in yellow on brown cardstock to match the brown Versafine ink of the squirrel. Welp, that's that :)

Sponsor:

STAMPlorations is returning as our wonderful sponsor and is offering this challenge's winner a $15 gift certificate to the online store! Remember, during the weeks STAMPlorations is sponsoring us, you can refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!

I turned the CAS(E) this Sketch upside down to play along this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect PEARLs at CASology

Happy Tuesday! We're working with a very pretty cue card this week at CASology.

I hope you get a chance to play along and show us your card!

I reached back in my memory bank and remembered a couple of videos by Jennifer McGuire about creating a faux metal look using Perfect Pearls and I had to give it a try this week! Click here to check out her tutorial on YouTube and here to see another fabulous inspiration by Carissa Wiley for Ellen Hutson. Photographing shimmer and shine is such a challenge ugh, but if you give this technique a try, please leave me a comment below or tag me on Instagram so I can see your lovely cards!

There more to see from the DT and guest designer this week too!

Guest Designer: Lynda

FARMhouse Rules at CASology

If you've ever been to, lived on, worked on, or heck even drove by one, we want you to play along at CASology this week! Our cue card is : FARM.

This little piggy is from the MFT stamp set called Sow Much Cuteness and it totally is :) Aunt Deanna, this one's for you!

I used Copic markers and this is the same pig I colored for Day 1 of 10th 30 Day Coloring Challenge by Kathy Racoosin. You can check it out and the colors I used on my Instagram page and by using #thedailymarker30day.

The rest of the DT has some great country love to spread too, so check them out!
