A Little APPRECIATION at CASology

CASology is doing some thank you's, we APPRECIATE you's, and all that heartfelt jazz!!

I was really inspired by the changing colors of the leaves around here. I love fall...I just wish it would last a lot longer! All of my coloring was done with Copic markers and this stamp set is from Simon Says Stamp (Fractile Leaves).  I think it was made for coloring!!

Head over to the  CASology blog to see all the other great ways the team crafted with this fortnight's cue card!

How GLASSy We Are at CASology

Happy CASology Tuesday! It's that time of year...holiday cardmaking season is upon us :)

This week, I'm using some sparkly effects on some ornaments to showcase our cue card:

This entire card was made with one stamp set from Hero Arts (Christmas Crystals, CL802). It's an older stamp set, so it's not that easy to find...sorry.

I dry embossing the wonky border and taped off the edges so that I could "hang" the

ornaments inside. The reddish one is actually popped up on 2 pop dots for dimension.

I colored everything with Copic markers then layered some White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops with a paint brush...btw, it dries clear and sparkly, not white.

I stamped the sentiment and created the silver card base border with silver embossing powder.

I think the rest of the DT has some awesome GLASSic designs for you too!

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 :)

FARMhouse Rules at CASology

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

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!

All About PARENTS at CASology

Happy Tuesday! This week, we're showing our parents a little love at CASology.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, I instantly went in that direction.

Every one of the stamps here are from the Simon Says Stamp set "Best Mom Ever".

I was inspired by the colors of spring and thought it would be cool to blend

different colors together in the same rose when I found this cool background paper

in my stash. I used lots of Copic markers for this tiny bit of coloring lol.

Purples & Pinks:

BV00, BV02, BV04

RV00, RV02, RV04

Yellows & Oranges:

YR000, YR02, YR08

Y02, Y08, Y15

Greens:

YG01, YG06, YG17

Time to share the love of our favorite people and check out the DT inspirations!

ODDities at CASology

Happy Tuesday from the team at CASology! This week we're working with

a new cue card...it's a classic for CAS design: ODD

Here's my card this week.

I opted for the design aesthetic of using odd numbers of elements for focal interest.

I adore butterflies and these beauties are from Prima Marketing; 

the sentiment is from Concord & 9th. colored them using Copic markers.

I love orange and blue together and the softness with the sentiment pair nicely.

You have to check out the inspiration from the DT too!

BIG Ideas with CASology

Happy CASology Tuesday! We're back this week with a really "BIG" cue card :)

I have this super cute stamp set from Paper Artsy (JOFY 41) that showcases these huge berries and a big round dress. I thought they would be great to Copic color. To draw the eye into my focal image and make it look larger, I fussy cut away some of the border. I love her :)

Swing by the other DT and guestie's page for other big ideas! And of course STAMPlorations is sponsoring us, you can refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!
