Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is:

Week 188 - Laugh

Take a look at my card:

Laugh (CAS)

When I saw the cue card, I knew I had to use the Mama Elephant Photo Bomb stamp set. I bought this stamp set when it came out and I never used it. I wasn’t sure how I would color the image in so I never took it out of the packaging.

I finally took it out because I knew I wanted to use my Tombow Recycle Colored Pencils. I have to say I have a love affair with these pencils. They are easy to use and they blend well.

Here is how I created this card:

First I used the Mini Misti to place the stamps exactly were I wanted them to be.
Then I used My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink to stamp the images and sentiment.
Once that was done, I used Tombow Recycled Colored Pencils to color in the images.
To create the highlights in the hair, I used Tombow Sand Eraser to create the highlights.
To finish the card off, I rounded the top two corners.

Nice and easy!!

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is:

I thought this cue card was fun to play with. So many different takes on this cue card, how do you pick on. I went thought all of my stamp sets and came across this retired Stampin’ Up! stamp set that I never used. Never!! That is crazy.

Take a look at my card:

Do you remember these spinners? I loved them as a child. I love how this card turned out.

Creating this card was super easy.

My card base was embossed with Papertrey Ink Sunshine Impression Plate.
Then I cut the card panel slight smaller then the card base.
After that I used retired Stampin’ Up! Take a Spin stamp set to stamp one of the images right in the middle of the panel with Stampin’ Up! Raspberry Ripple Ink.
Then I used a needle to punch a small hole in the center of the stamped image.
I added the spinner and used foam take to prop up the card panel up.

That was it!! Nothing too it.

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is:

I was wondering what do I do with this cue card. When I think of distress, I think of ink and blending. How can I make a CAS card with different inks blending together? Nothing was coming to me that would be simple and WOW at the same time.

Then I remember I received a Tombow Mono Correction Tape and saw a super fun technique using this non-crafty tool.

Check out my card:

Do you see my distress banner? LOL!! I created that with correction tape!!

Here’s how:

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the flower image from Lawn Fawn Happy Easter Stamp Set.

Then I used the Tombow Mono Correction Tape Retro to create a distress box that my sentiment will go.

Once the correction tape was down, I used my finger to pick up some of the tape on the edges, so that it looks distress.

I used the Mini Misti and My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink to stamp the sentiment on the correction tape.

After that I, I used a Copic Mulitliner to draw a line around the distressed box.

To finish the card off, I used Tombow Irojiten Colored Pencils Dictionary, Rainforest Pale Tones to color my tulips.

Very non-conventional, but I love it!! I hope you give this method a try!!

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is:

Week 185 - Egg (1)

When I saw this cue card, I thought of the Living Magazine I saw standing in line at the supermarket. I had to snap a picture of it.

FullSizeRender (38)

Look at how pretty those easter eggs look! This was the inspiration for my watercolor easter egg.

Take a look at my card:

Sending Easter blessing

Creating this card was very easy.

I created a watercolor panel using my new Tombow Yo-i Crayons. These crayons are water soluble so its easy to play with.

Yo-i coloring

All I did was add color to the white cutting board. Then use the wet paintbrush to pick up the color and add them to the wet Arches watercolor paper.

Super easy and fun. You add color according to what you want. I love the softness of my palette since its an egg for Easter.

Then I used Your Next Stamp Stitched Ovals Die Set to create cut out an large oval shape that looks like an egg.

I used Right At Home Hoppy Easter Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment right in the middle of the egg.

I adhered the egg to the Recollection Heavyweight Black card base with 3M Foam Tape.

To finish my card off, I rounded the corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

All done!!

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is:

Week 182 - Adore

Take a look at my card:

PicTapGo-Image

When I saw the cue card and who the sponsor was, I knew I had the perfect stamp set for this challenge!!

To create this card, I stamped the sentiment and two hearts from Concord & 9th Love You. Mean It., using Versafine Black ink. Then I cut the front card panel down by 1.5 inches. I then added a stripe of pattern paper behind that front panel. I added some glossy accents to the two hearts for an added pop! Nice and easy!!

I created another card but thought it was way to simple. I like this one!! I used the circle stamp this time!

CASology 181 – Clear

Posted in CASology Challenge, January 2016 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is :

Week 181 - Clear

Take a look at my card:

Hello clear (CAS)

I couldn’t help myself when I saw the cue card!! I knew I wanted to use acetate as my card base. There is nothing like a clear card, LOL!!!

Creating this card was super easy. I just cut the acetate to an A2 card size, 4.25 by 5.50, scored at 4.25. Then I used Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Journaling Card Die set to cut out four speech bubbles out of Recollection black card stock. After that I die cut Lawn Fawn Scripty Hello out of a scrap piece of watercolor paper I create earlier in the week.

watercolor pieces

I also cut it twice more for dimension. I adhered the hello to the speech bubble using Tomow’s Stamp Runner then to the acetate. The extra speech bubble was added to the inside as to not show the adhesive and for a place for a message.

That’s it!! It took me less then 4 minutes to make this card and I photographed it at night!! It can’t get any better then that.

I absolutely love how this card turned out.

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is :

Week 180 - Open

Take a look at my card:

Tree hugs (CAS)

Are you wondering what my card has to do with our cue card? Everything!! Trees are out in the “OPEN”!! They bear the weather, animals climbing on them, power lines running through them and people curving on them; and yet they still stand strong and tall!!

I love this Tree Hugs stamp set from Concord and 9th. The trees look so life like.

Here is how I created this card:

I used Recollection White cardstock and created a standard A2 size card, 4.25 x 5.50, scored at 4.25.
Then I stamped the tree image three times using Versamark ink.
After that, I lightly inked up the side of the trees with Distress Ink Old Paper with a blending tool and a mask.
Then I stamped the sentiments from the same set using Stampin’ Up! Real Red Ink. I doubled stamp one of the hearts and BFF because carving in trees are as clean cut as we would like.

I absolutely love how this card turned out. I can’t wait to make another one.

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card is :

Week 179 - Simple

Take a look at my card:

Sweetheart (CAS)

I love this cue card!! Simple is so easy, or at least it should be. The more you think about something simple the easiest it is to make this more complicated. LOL!!

I had so many thought in my head and decided to go with the stamp set I was already working with. Its the new stamp set from Right At Home Kiss Kiss!!

As a matter of fact, we are doing a blog hop today, so you can see this set used in different ways here.

To create this card:

I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Heart College Die to cut out the stitched hearts in the center of my paper.
I mounted the card panel to the black card base.
Then I die cut the hearts a second time out of Real Red card stock.
I placed them in the white card panel, popping some of them up with 3M foam tape.
Then I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Black ink.
I added Clear Wink of Stella to all of the hearts.
