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:

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

Super easy, clean and simple!!

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

You know me, I went with the sketch!!  I never seem to have the colors need for this.  I hope I can change for the next challenge, LOL!

Take a look at my card:

Let's Celebrate (YNS)

Yes, another shaker card.  I’m addicted to these cards.  Or is it the sequin that I love seeing move about in the card. LOL, LOL, LOL!!

YNS Supplies: Happy 6th Birthday Stamp Set, Balloon Buddies Die Set

Other Supplies: Retired Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Wonder DSP, My Favorite Things Hybrid Black Ink, Foam Tape, Lucy Abrams Peachy Sequin, We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool, Recollections White Heavyweight Cardstock, Recollections Black Heavyweight Cardstock

Creating this card was a bit easy.

All I did was cut my DSP to make the sketch.  I adhered the yellow panel to the card base with a tape runner.

I die cut a circle in the front card panel.  That is where my shaker packet will go.

I created my shaker pocket using my Fuse Tool.  If you want to know who to do that you can check out my tutorial here.

I attached the shaker pocket to the card panel with the tape runner.  I added foam tape the back of that card panel and attached the entire piece to the card base.

I cut two strips of DSP to different sizes.  I stamped the sentiment on the bigger piece and attached both pieces with the tape runner.

I die cut the two balloons out of the same DSP and attached them to the front of the shaker window.  I die cut the balloon strings out of black card stock and attached them to the balloons.

I told you it was easy.  Now its your turn!!

So are you ready for the new challenge?

You have until September 3rd at midnight EST to play along and submit your project on the YNS Blog post.  One random participant will win a $15 gift certificate to the Your Next Stamp Store.  If YNS stamps or dies are the focal point then the winner receives and additional $5 gift certificate fro a total of $20.  The winner will be announced on the YNS Blog the Sunday after the challenge closes.

Go and Celebrate (TDD)

The Balloon Die Set comes with 6 balloon dies ranging from small to big!!

I used the largest die to create this card.  Super easy to use and check out that stitching!!  It gives the balloon such a nice finished look.

To create these cards, I just die cut the balloon adhered them to the top left portion of the card.  I used Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Bakers Twine.  I used Mama Elephant Make A Wish Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment using Lawn Fawn Deep Sea Ink.  I added Clear Wink of Stella to the sentiment and the stars. 

Check these out:

Lets Party Celebrate (TDD)

 

I used some glitter paper to create these balloons.  I love how they turned out.

To create these cards, I just die cut the balloon adhered them to the top left portion of the card.  I used my Copic Multiliner to draw the strings.  I used Simon Says Stamp Birthday Big Wishes Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.

Now you see those two stars in between my sentiment?  Well, I had to add those because some of the black ink caught my paper on the pink balloon while I was stamping it.  I think I saved it pretty well. I used Lucy Adams Star Shine Sparkly Sequin to save the day.

So what do you think?  Let me know below.

I can’t wait for you to see the full reveal!!  You are going to love this die set!

Red, White and Blue…

Hello everyone! I’m here today with a Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #169: Vellum Overlays.  I’m so late in posting this card.  I couldn’t decide what I wanted to create for this challenge.

So, I picked the colors that I wanted to work with first.  Since July 4 is this Friday, I decided to go with red, white and blue.  Once I knew that, I saw it fitting to use PTI’s Cover Plate: Stars Die.

After figuring all of that out, I needed to see how my vellum piece would look attached to my card.  Once I added it, I realized I didn’t have a sentiment on my card.  That’s when it hit me that I should add the sentiment to the vellum and in silver for an extra pop.

Yes, that turned out neatly!

Take a look at my card:

Time to Celebrate top

Time to celebrate

 

I attached my vellum with two bronze brads.  I must me honest, when I decided to add brads, I knew for sure I had silver ones.  Well, I such everywhere and I could not find them.  So, I decided to us the bronze brads and I like it.

What do you think?  Don’t be afraid to let me know, good or bad.

Supplies Used:

PTI Stars DieWet Paint 3Bazzill Blueberry SourSSS Lipstick Red CardstockBazzill Marshmallow CSWhite VellumBig Shot Die-Cut MachineMagnetic PlatformStampin' TrimmerTombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive

I also used Stampin’ Up!’s Retired Pewter embossing power and brads.

Pop of Color!

Third Post for the day!

Hello everyone! I’m back again today for the third time.  Can you tell I’m having fun!!!  Yes, I was up late last night playing around with my stamp supplies in my little stampin corner.  I created a couple of watercolor backgrounds and I knew I need to use one of them for my next card.

I’m here this evening with CASology.  They are celebrating their 100th challenge and all of the friendships they’ve made throughout this time.  I wanted to join in on this celebration so I created a card celebrating them!

Week 100 - Celebrate

So the cue word is CELEBRATE!!  So fitting for this great accomplishment.

Here is my clean and simple card:

Celebrate

I love how the gold matches the watercolor background.  I decided to use black ink for the sentiment because I wanted it to stand out from the background.

What do you think?

I also used Stampin’ Up!’s Retired Primrose Petal re-inkier to create my watercolor background.
