Theres nothing like family!! This CASology family is totally amazing. We get along and enjoy what we do to bring you inspirational cards each week.

Aren’t these owls AWESOME!! I love them. This stamp company may be new to most of you. They are called Uchi’s Design! They are based in Florida. They make clear stamps, dies and punches.

My first encounter with Uchi’s Design was back in January at CHA!! I was waiting for the right time to use them. The time is now!!

Here is how I created this card:

I used Mama Elephant Femme Frames to die cut out a white stitched panel.
Then I used the Mini Misti to stamp the owls from Uchi’s Design Owl stamp set using Versafine Black Ink.
Then I colored the owls with Tombow’s Recycled Pencils and Tombow’s Irojiten Colored Pencils.
Then I stamped the sentiment from Uchi’s Design Home and Family stamp set using Versafine Black Ink.
I mounted the white card panel on top of the black card base for a finished clean card!

Super easy, clean and simple!!

This week’s cue card is:

Week 199 - Fast

Take a look at my card:

clean and simple

Bee’s move super fast at times, so I thought this image was perfect for this week’s cue card. I used My Favorite Things Fly-By Friends for my images and sentiment.

Here is how I created this card:

Cardstock is cut to 4.25 by 5.50 scored at 5.50.
Stamp the images and sentiment using the Mini Misti tool using My Favorite Things Hybrid Black Ink.
Then use Tombow IroJiten Vivid Adult Coloring Set to color the bee in.
To add a finish, add one single embellishment. The one I used is a sneak at a new release Gumdrop from Your Next Stamp.

Super easy, clean and simple!!

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

This week’s cue card is:

Take a look at my card:

I really like this cue card this week. I love working with Seth Apter Star Stencil and the Clarity Brushes. They help to create very clean and simple cards.

Here is how I created this card:

I cut the cardstock down to an A2 card size 4.25 by 5.50, scored at 5.50.
I placed the stencil on top of the cardstock and used the brushes to apply the Distress Ink Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed.
Then I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts Dare to Dream stamp set with Versafine Black ink.

That’s it!! It takes less then 3 minutes to create this card.

Creating this card was so easy, I couldn’t help myself, made two more cards!!

Super easy, clean and simple!!

{Clean and Simple} CASology 197 – Tear

Posted in CASology Challenge, May 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 is:

Week 197 - Tear

Take a look at my card:

Hello cut 1 (CAS)

Lets take a better look:

Hello cut (CAS)

When I saw the cue card, I thought of tearing paper, but then I thought that wouldn’t be clean and simple. So I decided to use my paper trimmer to cut the paper to give the tear a nice straight edge, LOL!!

This card can be sealed to be a try one layer card or left open and your message can be on the inside of the card.

I used retired Lawn Fawn Just My Type stamp set to stamp the scissors using Versafine Ink.

Then I used my paper trimmer to cut the paper as if the scissors cut it.

I used my bone folder to bend the paper.

After that, I stamped the sentiment on the inside using the Mini Misti.

Super easy, clean and simple!!

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

{Clean and Simple} CASology 196 – Move

Posted in CASology Challenge, May 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 is:

Take a look at my card:

I have to be super doper honest with you! I created this card a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to play with a new set of watercolors that I received called Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.

Not know what to do with the completed card, I just put it to the side and was going to use it for my Did You Know Series on Instagram.

Then I saw the cue card and said to myself, these feathers move when the when blow so why not use it. My son says mom I don’t see the correlation. I tried to convince him, he just looked at me. LOL!! I told him I’m going with it.

So here we are:

Creating this card was super cool. The watercolor is so vibrant and pretty. I will talk more about them in my series that will go live this week.

All I did was stamp the Papertrey Ink What the Doodle Feather stamp set image using Versamark Ink and sprinkled Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.

Heat set.

Then I watercolored the Red Gold and the Yellow Gold into the feathers with little water. The watercolor is so shimmer and creamy. A little bit goes a long way.

I used Mama Elephant Femme Frames to die cut the card front panel. Then I adhered the panel to the card base using Fun Foam.

Super easy and beautiful!!

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

This week’s cue card is:

Week 195 - Sprinkle

Take a look at my card:

Celebrate (CAS)

When I saw the cue card I thought of cupcakes right away!! I couldn’t find my cupcake stamps but I ran into this Papertrey Ink Good Times stamp set that I never used. I think I bought this last year and never inked it up. So I thought this was a perfect time!!

Here is how I created it:

Using the Mini Misti, stamped the dots on the top of the card base using Hero Arts Ombre Butter to Orange Ink.
Using Versafine Black Ink to stamp the sentiment right under the ombre sprinkles.
Round the bottom corners using the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

Super easy, clean and simple!!

{Clean and Simple} CASology 194 – Mom

Posted in April 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 is:

Week 194 - Mom

Take a look at my card:

Love you Mom (CAS)

I can’t believe Mother’s day is around the corner. Time is flying by so quickly. It was just New Years, LOL!!

When I saw this cue card, I went searching for a Mother’s Day stamp set and can you believe I didn’t buy any in 2016!! I really thought I that I did. So, I searched my stash and found this WPlus9 Love Mom set that I bought last year and its perfect. How many stamps do you need that says mom. One! – and that is what I have! LOL!!

Creating this card was super easy.

I used Mama Elephant Femme Frame to die cut the Lawn Fawn Sunflower card stock. I made a mistake. Instead of leaving the top of the card uncut, I cut the card base in two.

So I scored the top of the back card base and taped them together using Tombow Extreme Adhesive.

Mistake (CAS)

What a way to save the cardstock!!

I used the smaller square die cut to cut the front panel.

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the sentiment and the heart on the front panel. Using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink.

The card panel was adhered to the card base using Plus Glue Tape.

Once my card was complete it look way to bare so I decided that it needed one more thing.

Plain (CAS)

So I decided after much thought to add, some Papertrey Ink Cream Cotton Baker’s Twine. I used the number 11 Penblade’s trimming grove to cut the twine.

Nice finished touch.

This week’s cue card is:

Week 191 - Washi

Take a look at my card:

Washi (CAS)

I’m so tickled by my card. I love how the numbers look like they come with the newsprint on them. Its Washi Tape!! I used Tim Holtz’s Symphony Tissue Tape and Penny Black By The Number Die.

To create this card:

Add 5 strips of washi tape to white cardstock.
Use the die cut to cut the washi cover cardstock.
Adhere the die cut to the cardbase using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.

Nice and simple!

I was having so much fun, that I had to create another card.

Enjoy Washi (CAS)

This time I used some new watercolor washi tape that I picked up from Michaels. I love this tape. So super pretty. I have to say that I’m super luck to have this set of washi tape. I hear everyone saying they can’t find these. I might have to search them out and pick up another for a giveaway, maybe!!

washi

To create this card:

Add two strips of tape on the bottom of my card base.
Use Simon Says Stamp Painted Enjoy Die to cut one word out.
Adhere it right above the washi tape with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.

Nice and easy clean and simple card!!

I colored these images with Tombow Recycled Color Pencils.
To create the highlights on the the little fellows belly and the top of the umbrella, I used Tombow Sand Eraser.

This week’s cue card is:

Week 189 - Doodle

Take a look at my card:

Just a note

When I saw the cue card, I thought about drawing my own design, LOL!! Are you kidding me. Not this time around. Let me practice some more before I put myself out their.

So I want straight to the stamp set that was all about doodling, WPlus Nine Doodle Bud!

I just finished creating 105 wedding invites and had tons of scrap paper so I asked on Instagram what should I do with all of that paper and everyone said use it to create cards.

Scrap paper

So this is the first card I created using the left over paper. This card isn’t an A2 card. Its smaller!! I think it’s perfect.

Creating this card was easy, I just stamped the images using the Mini Misti and colored them in using Tombow’s Recycled Coloring Pencils and Sand Eraser.

Nice and easy!!
