{Clean and Simple} CASology – Cut
Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Clean and Simple Cue Card just for you!!
This week’s cue card:
Take a look at my card:
For this week’s cue card I used STAMPlorations Let It Snow Die as my focal point. I die cut it out of Concord and 9th Happy Hue Note Cards three times. Then I adhered them together.
Before adhering the die cut to the card front, I added some snowflakes with Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow die and Ranger Ink Texture Paste.
Once the paste dried, the sentiment was adhered.
What do you think?

Take a look at my card:
For this week’s cue card, I went with Lawn Fawn Scripty Hugs die and fun foam!! I used a scrap piece of watercolor paper and die cut the word hugs once. Then I die cut a piece of white fun foam three times. I adhered them together and adhered them to the card front. I used Altenew Celebrate stamp set to stamp the sentiment in black.
I rounded one corner of the card to finish it off.

{Clean and Simple} CASology 220 – Cure
Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Clean and Simple Cue Card just for you!!
This week’s cue card:
Take a look at my card:
I thought this Neat & Tangled Big Hugs die was perfect for this challenge. When I think of “cure”, you can’t help but to think of big hugs. I love the size of this die along with the font used to create it.
Here is how I created this card:
I die cut the sentiment out of Thermoweb Deco Foil Peal and Stick Toner Sheets. Then I cover the die cut with Deco Foil Pewter Transfer Sheets and ran it through the Royal Sovereign Laminator. Nice and easy!!
I love how foil looks on my cards.
For the rest of the card, I used Neat & Tangled Scalloped Nice and Neat Dies to cut out We R Memory Keepers Urban Chic pattern paper. I adhered the pattern paper to the black card base using foam tape.
Can you see the Pewter Deco Foil? So pretty in person.

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the Sparkle and Shine Challenge!!! How exciting is this!!!
Since its the first of the month, its time for our new challenge!!!
Here is the inspiration photo that guided us this time around:
Now take a look at my card:
I love how this card turned out. These colors are awesome together.
Here is how I blended these colors to created this card:
I gathered all of my supplies. I used the Distress Ink Kits 13 and Kit 14, My Favorite Things Stencil Circle Burst, Ink Blending Tool, Recollection White Heavyweight Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Painted Enjoy, Clear Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Up! Rhinestones and Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.
Then I started inking in the middle with the Distress Ink Abandon Coral.
Next in line was Distress Ink Fossilized Amber. I took my time and tried to blend the colors with ease.
After that, was Distress Ink Cracked Pistachio. Always moving in a circular motion.
Moving right along, up next is Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon.
Now its time for the big reveal.
Super cool effect!
Then I used Simon Says Stamp Painted Enjoy Die and cut out 4 enjoy’s. I glued them together and adhered it to the front of the card.
I added Clear Wink of Stella to the sentiment and finished the card off with a couple of Stampin’ Up! rhinestones.
Nice and easy!! Perfect blending of colors.
Wait before I go, I was asked to show this same effect using the Clarity Brushes.
I posted my comparison on Instagram a couple of weeks ago when I created this card. You can find it here on Instagram.
What do you think?
