Pines Fir Yew - CASology and Rubber Dance Stamps

I'm still crawling out from under snow, but CASology has given me plenty of time

to play and stamp! This week's cue card is: FOREST.

I started with a little masking so I could work with just the edges of my card. I used three different Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber, and Mermaid Lagoon) to ink up these fabulous rubber stamps sent to me by Rubber Dance Stamps. They make great impressions, hold ink wonderfully, and I love the design of these pine firs (not to mention the name- Pines Fir Yew)! Then let the ink blending begin. My sentiment is from their oh-so-pretty scripty font set Beautiful Words. My favorite part is always the reveal of pulling the masking tape off :)

Time to get lost in the forest of DT ideas on their blogs. And don't forget to say hi to our guest designer and check out the online shop and blog of our sponsor this week!

Coffee's On at CASology

This week, CASology is gonna stimulate some creative with our new cue card:

I wanted to stick with neutral tones for this card because the colors that the word coffee stirs up in mind are blacks, browns, and creams. I kept the coffee cup and saucer (from Concord & 9th's Let Chat set) simple and heat embossed the heart foam (also from the set) in white. I used Peerless watercolor to color the coffee a tan color...lots of creamer :) I used the same watercolor on a snippet of paper for the sentiment, which is a set of adhesive letters called "Coffee House" (how awesome that I had these just laying around!) from Mrs.Grossman's stickers. A little patterned paper and coffee's on :)

Stir on over to the other DT blogs and give them a little pep with some sweet comments!

FRAME-ing Up for a Good Week at CASology

CASology is back this week with a challenge cue card that is sure to bring

you lots of ideas and plenty of ways to craft them!

I thought of picture frames, my frame dies, getting framed (setup lol), a frame of a movie...then I remembered my Simon Says Stamp Old School Sunglasses dies! I die cut them and coated them with a few layers of Ranger Ink Verdigris embossing powder. I love the marbled/speckled look of this EP.

I foiled the center of the sunglasses to make them shiny and reflective and inlaid them back into the sunglasses. I wanted a cool and funky "landing pad" for my image and sentiment, so I splashed some Heidi Swapp Reactive Mist on the card and foiled it too...oooh la la!

I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps twice in Jet Black Archival Ink since I was trying to stamp onto foil. Thank goodness I used my MISTI because I had to stamp it twice to get a good, dark, crisp impression :)

You've got to swing by the DT blogs and check out how they framed up the cue card!
