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

This week’s cue card:

week-219-spooky

Take a look at my card:

spook-tacular1

To create this card, I used the TCW Mini Spiderweb stencil to create a spiderweb on the front of my cardstock using Distress Ink Black Soot. Then I used your Next Stamp Happy Haunting Die Set to die cut the spider out of an piece of watercolor scrap paper and web out of black cardstock. After that I used Your Next Stamp SpookTacular Halloween to stamp the sentiment in the center of the web using Your Next Stamp Black Olive Ink. I adhered the spider with a foam tape and the web with Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

Once again I couldn’t make one card, I had to make two, LOL!

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

This week’s cue card:

week-218-support

Take a look at my card:

live-your-dream-cas

All of us could use some support from time to time. I thought this StarTrish Design Worldgirl Series stamp was perfect for this challenge.

“Live your dream” is perfect for all of us to do. No need to me miserable. All of have dreams and we should live them.

To create this card, I stamped the image using Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Black Ink. Then I used Tombow’s Irojiten Vivid and Tranquil Coloring Pencils.

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

This week’s cue card:

week-217-cute

Take a look at my card:

you-rock-cas

Our sponsor this week has the cuties digital images in her store. I’m using the Heart Strings Raccoon and the Panda Cutie Digital Stamp on my cards.

To spice up my card, I used Penny Black Well Done dies to add a sentiment to the cards. Then I used Copic Marker R46 to add red to the hearts and nose.

Adding a pop of color keeps my cards super clean and simple.

I couldn’t create just one card:

well-done-cas

Nice and easy.

{Clean and Simple} CASology 216 – Frame

Posted in CASology Challenge, September 2016 by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card:

week-216-frame

Take a look at my card:

hello-fall-cas

What a fun cue card!! There are so many ways to interpret this cue card. I wanted to take the word for what it was.

I used My Favorite Things Rectangle Peek-a-Boo Window to dry emboss the frame on the front of the card using Spellbinders Embossing Mat with the Big Shot.

Then I stamped the pumpkin and sentiment from the new Right At Home Grateful Heart stamp set in the center of the frame using Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Wick ink.

After that, I watercolored the the pumpkin with Distress Ink Carved Pumpkin and Mowed Lawn.

I added a little bit of splatter for interest.

Lets take a closer look:

Nice and easy.

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

This week’s cue card:

week-215-bark

Take a look at my card:

charming-friend-cas

When I first saw the cue card, I thought of a tree bark right away. So I pulled out my very first stamp set from Darkroom Door, Fine Flowers. I figured the stem of this sunflower works just fine.

Check out the definition:

The tough, protective outer sheath of the trunk, branches, and twigs of a tree or woody shrub.

I think my flower makes the cut!

To create it this card:

I stamped the flower from Darkroom Door and the sentiment from My Favorite Things using Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Dye Ink.

Then I colored the flower using Tombow Recycled Colored Pencils.

{Clean and Simple} CASology 214 – Beach

Posted in CASology Challenge, September 2016 by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card:

Week 214 - Beach

Take a look at my card:

Hello Friend (CAS)

I have I told you how much I do not like the fall or winter! I hate being cold and to see the summer end is killing me. I love how we are using this cue card now! The weather is changing and its no longer 90 degrees outside. So going to the beach is about to be in our distant memory.

When I sat down to create my card, I immediately thought of So Suzy Stamps new release. The Beach Grass stamp to be exact!! This stamp set is just perfect for this week’s challenge.

I love how the grass gives the feeling of motion, the nice ocean breeze. Oh when I close my eyes, I can feel it! Can you?

Creating this card was easy as 1-2-3!

I used a A2 (4.25×5.50) size card base to start with.
Then I used the Mini Misti to stamp the Beach Grass stamp set across the front of the card in black.
After that I used Concord & 9th Flourish stamp set to stamp the sentiment.
Last but not least, I rounded the top right corner for added interest.

Nice and easy, I must say. I love how the black and white keeps the card elegant. Concord & 9th sentiment font is so fitting for this card as well.

{Clean and Simple} CASology 213 – Stitch

Posted in August 2016, CASology Challenge by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card:

Week 213 - Stitch

Take a look at my card:

Peeping out to say (CAS)

This past week has been a bit hectic for me. I moved my son up to school for the very first time. I’m totally excited for him and his new step in life. I don’t want to be “that” mom but I don’t think I will be able to stop myself from sending him all sorts of packages full of goodies. Starting with this card. I think he will laugh when he gets this card in the mail.

When I saw the cue card, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to create. Then I remember receiving a few new stamps and dies from Taylored Expressions. The Pocketful of Sunshine set is perfect for a clean and simple card.

To create this card:

Cut the cardstock to 4 x 4.
Using the pocket die, cut out one pocket die.
Stamp an image from the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set onto the front of the card base.
Color the image in with colored pencils.
Adhere the die cut pocket underneath the stamped image.
Stamp out the sentiment and the card is good to go.
Round the top corners of the card.

Six easy steps to follow. What do you think?

{Clean and Simple} CASology 211 – Dream

Posted in August 2016, CASology Challenge by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card:

Week 211 - Dream

Take a look at my card:

Dream (CAS)

When I saw this week’s cue card, I knew right away that I wanted to use Neat and Tangled Making Waves – Nice and Neat Dies. I love how the clouds are particle cut out of the card stock.

Creating this card was a breeze. I die cut the front of the white Bristol Smooth card panel using the Making Waves Die. Then I used a pencil to outline the circle, so that I knew where to apply the distress ink. I started with Distress Ink Tumbled Glass to create the sky. Then I came in with Distress Ink Broken China to darken it just a bit closer to the top of the sky. After that I used Distress Ink Forest Moss to create the ground.

Once all of the colors were down, I applied tumbled glass again over the entire scene to lighten the sky and the grass. Once I was satisfied with the way the scene looked, I used Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script Stamp Set and Clearsnap Colorbox Wicked Archival Ink to stamp the cue card word.

Then I placed a couple of dimensionals on the back of the card panel and placed it on top of the card base. Perfect!!!

I truly love how this card turned out. I think is absolutely perfect for this challenge. What do you think?

{Clean and Simple} CASology 210 – Dizzy

Posted in August 2016, CASology Challenge by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card:

Week 210 - Dizzy (1)

Take a look at my card:

Are you dizzy (CAS)

I have to admit, I was a little stuck when I saw this cue card this week. I couldn’t figure out what to use or even design. Then I saw my kids using my spirograph and said, “YES”, thats it!!

So I created my own design, for this week cue card, using the spirograph.

I remember using this when I was a child, but not so much as an adult, so it took me a minute to remember how to use it. LOL!!

I missed up a couple of times at first but finally go it right. So I made a couple more cards:

Are you dizzy 1 (CAS)
