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

This week’s cue card is :

Week 175 - Pie

Take a look at my card:

Pie (CAS)

OMG!!  You can’t get any more Clean and Simple then this!!! I love it.

When I saw the cue card was pie, I knew I didn’t want to use the food pie because that was typical. So I thought about pi in math class.  I was going to draw the symbol but I can’t draw and that would have been a disaster waiting to happen.

So I went with the next best thing!!  The actually number for “pi”.

To create this card, I die cut a scrap piece of ink blended paper with Papertrey Ink Sew Stylish Number Die Collection. I used Tombow Multipurpose glue to adhere the number to the card base.   Nice and easy.

So what do you think?  Did I inspire you?

Now its your turn!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

CASology 163: Moon

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

This week’s cue card is:

Week 163 - Moon

Take a look at my card:

Brighter because of you (CAS)

I have to be very honest with all of you.  I had no clue what I was going to do with this cue card becasue I do not have any stamp sets with a moon.  I really struggled with this cue.  Then I remembered I had a paper pack with a moon in it and then the light bulb went off.  LOL!!!!

All I did was die cut the moon out of the paper and adhered it to my card front and stamped my sentiment from Mama Elephant Bling Stamp Set with My Favorite Things Hybrid Black Ink.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Now its your turn!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

CASology 162 – Write

Second post for today
If your looking for the a2z Scrapbooking blog post, click here

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

I have to say I really love this week’s cue card.  I love to write but handwriting is the worst!!  LOL!!  I wish I took penmanship classes more seriously when I was in grade school.

I just hated writing, “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog“. Do you remember writing that over and over and over again.  I never understood why we had to write that.  The reason is, that sentence contains every letter in the alphabet!!  Writing it, allowed us to write every letter!!!

We had a entire penmanship book.  The pages were similar to this but with more space to write:

Handwriting

If I knew what I know now, right, LOL!!!

This week’s cue card is:

Week 162 - Write

Take a look at my card:

Pratice Makes Perfect (CAS)

Here is how I created this card:

  1. I used Papertrey Ink’s Pencil Me In Patterned Paper to create my card front.
  2. After that I used Papertrey Ink’s Pencil Me In Die to cut out my pencil.  I adhered all of the pieces together using Plus Glue Tape Runner.
  3. Then I used Papertrey Ink’s Lunchbox Notes Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink on the card front and pencil.
  4. I used a black pen and scribbled in the line below the pencil.

Super fun and simple!!

Here are some closer looks:

CASology 159 – Aquatic

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

This week’s cue card is all about water and anything pertaining to water!!

Week 159 - Aquatic

 

Take a look at my card:

Sail away with me (CAS)

Here is how I created this card:

This is a simple one layer card.  I stamped the waves three times, slight on top of each other. Then I stamped the boat right on top of the waves.  I used Copic marker R27 to color in the bottom portion of my boat.

I stamped the main sentiment first then the smaller sentiment last.

That was it!!  A nice card to reproduce!!

Now its your turn!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Week 154 - Repeat

Take a look at my card:

Hello Friend (CAS)

I’ve been dying to use this stamp set from Mama Elephant its called Sunday Stroll and Sunday Sentiments!!  I’ve seen all of the beautiful cards with this set and wanted to join in!

Since our cue card is repeat, I decided to repeat the little girl, its triplets!!  So cute!!

Oh man, I should have had them holding hands, that would have been super cute too, LOL.  All after the fact, LOL!!

In any case, I blended Distress Ink Mowed Lawn to the bottom of my card.  Then I stamped my image 3 times using my Misti.  I colored them in with Copic Markers: E15, E02, E00, C1, C3, C5, R24.  I add Clear Wink of Stella to their hats.  I stamped my sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink. I rounded the top two corners.

Done!!  That was easy!!
