CASology 131 – Birthday

Hello everyone!!  It’s Tuesday and you know what that means, its CASology time.  Yayyyy!!  Last week, there were so many fabulous cards, it was super hard to choose one card.

This weeks cue card it fabulous too.  Check it out:

Week 131 - Birthday

Such a fun word.  The possibilities are endless. I saw a card Laura Bassen created and I and wanted to make a card similar to hers.

Take a look at my card:

Wishing you the happiest Birthday(this photo doesn’t do this card justice, its so pretty in person)

This little lady is all dressed up and ready to attend a birthday party.  Isn’t she the cutest little you’ve seen!!

Here is how I created this card:

1.  I cut my card base to an A2 (4.25 x 5.50) size card.  I cut my card panel to (4 x 5.25).

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle die to create an opening on the card panel.

3.  I use the cut circle to draw a circle on my card base to guide where my stamped imagine should be placed.

4. I stamped the little girl from Penny Black Cool Chicks Stamp Set within the drawn in circle on my card front.  Once the ink dried, I erased the circle.

5. I colored the little girl with Copic Markers.

Hat: BG11, BG 13, BG15, R24, and Y06

Dress: R22, R24, and R27.

Necklace: BG34

Stocking: R24,  and BG34

Shoes: R20 and R24

Skin: E00 and E11

6. I used Copic BG 34 to color a piece of cardstock to match the color in the little girls dress.

7. I die cut Simon Says Stamp Wishing Die 4 times (3 black die cuts and one out of the cardstock that I colored.

8. I stacked that word die on top of each other and adhered it to the front of my card.

9. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Sending and Wishing stamp set.

What do you think?  What about my coloring? I would love to hear from you.

CS Take It Make It: Take A Stamp Challenge

Hello everyone!!  I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our first challenge of 2015, our January Challenge.

Some amazing changes are happening over at the CS Take it Make It Challenge. We are giving our challenge player TWO chances to win each month!!

One winner will be decided by a random number generator…so anyone who enters the challenge has a chance to win the fabulous sponsors prize we will be showcasing!

Our other winner will be our ‘Design Winner’, voted for by the blog and magazine DT. This winner will get their project published in Craft Stamper, be a Guest DT member for a challenge, AND get their own winners profile on the blog! The profile will be a wonderful opportunity to share your crafting styles and projects with the world, in a dedicated blog post just for you here on the CS blog!

(To be eligible for either prize you need to make sure your project follows all our guidelines, so please check them out, the guidelines are over on the sidebar!)

Our other HUGE change is that we are going to alternate our themes each month. One month will be a ‘Take A Stamp’ theme, the next ‘Take A Technique’ and so on. The ‘Take A Technique’ months will run in exactly the same way as before, we will look through Craft Stamper magazine and choose a technique for you all to have a go at. The ‘Take A Stamp’ months will be very exciting…..basically, its Anything Goes! You may enter any project you wish to the challenge…the only rule being you must ‘Take A Stamp’ and use it somewhere on your piece! So, any STAMPED project at all!

So with all of that said:

This month’s theme is Take a Stamp!!  That means take any stamp and create something, anything goes!!  Now if that isn’t easy, I’m not sure what is!!

Take a look at my card:

Love You (CS)

The idea behind this card came from Therese Calvird from Lostinpaper, I’m such a hug fan of hers.  She create a card a couple of days ago and I’ve been dying to try it.

Sooooo, what do you think?  I stamped my Random Fan image and colored it with Copic markers.

I have to admit, I’m not good at all with coloring hair so I just colored the little girls hair all black.

I used these Copic markers for my image:

Hair: 100

Clips: R27

Hair Twist: R24, R27

Skin: Eoo, E11, R20

Shoes: E31, E33, R24

Dress: R24, R27, R29

Heart: R81, R85

To create the rest of the card:

I embossed the front of the card panel and my colored image die cut circle with the Stampin’ Up! Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Small Love You Die from Simon Says Stamp Black cardstock, four times.

I attached the circle to the front of the card panel with foam adhesive.

I stacked the die cuts and attached it to my card front using Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

I used my Copic marker R81 to add color to a scrap piece of paper.  I used Lawn Fawn Hearts to cut out the smallest heart.

I attached my heart with foam adhesive.

Super doper easy!!  What do you think?  What about my coloring?  Please let me know.

You can stamp your to your hearts desire.  The challenge just calls for a stamped image.

The prize pack for the one lucky randomly drawn winner is totally amazing!!
