CCC #55

Time for this week's CASology Cue Card.

As you know Melissa Chipperfield, owner of CASology, had her baby girl on Sunday so the Design Team is taking over the helm while Melissa and Baby Bryna are getting to know one another.  We are also hosting a baby shower over at CASology HERE if you want to join the fun.

This week I went very CAS creating a cute little card using a journaling card from Cosmo Cricket's Mr. Campy.  I have had this set for 4 years now and it seemed like the perfect time to cut it up.  This coming weekend is the annual family reunion up at the cottage, so this card is going to my Sister-in-law for hosting the event.

Journaling cards are an excellent way to create a clean, simple and fast CAS card.

CCC #60 & Simon Says Anything Goes

Time for this week's CASology Cue Card!

I always think it is so fantastic that the Canada Day holiday and Independence Day holiday are only 4 days apart.  Perfect timing for this week's Cue Card:

Although Canada Day was July 1st, I had my card ready ahead of time.

For my card I grabbed a Canadian Maple leaf shape from the Silhouette Design Store and used my Silhouette to cut it out. Using the rule of thirds I stamped three fireworks images on my card base for the leaf to sit on top of. I am also submitting this card to the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge.

A second post for today and for this week's CASology Cue Card.

This week the Cue Word is:

For me the first thing I thought of was sun and summer and then of course--flip flops. So the star of my yellow card is the yellow sun with my beset supporting actress-- pretty floral flip flops.

CCC #47 and CFC103 and Addicted to CAS #14

Welcome back for this week's CASology challenge.

You will notice at the CASology blog that we have had a makeover, a new Clean & Simple look. 

You definitely need to drop in to see it.

This week our cue card is:

Are the wheels turning already??

I can think of a certain young man that will be getting this card is a couple of weeks.  Hoping the colours are not too girly for him.  I also hope he doesn't think he is getting a car.  LOL

Tilting your design adds more interest to a smaller image and adding some stamping behind the focal image creates movement. I am also submitting this card to CAS-ual Fridays congratulations challenge and Addicted to CAS #14.

CCC #44

Time for a new CASology Cue Card.  This week our Cue Card is:

By using paper piecing you can add lots of interest to a CAS card without the bulk of multiple layers.  Very excited to use my new Surely Goodness stamp set from Verve stamps.  It is my first Verve purchase so you will be seeing lots more of this one.  For my card I created die cuts for the flowers using my Silhouette. Then I used them to cut my images using patterned papers from Lawn Fawn's Daphne's Closet and then stamped the image on top.  This is such a cool technique and gives your image depth.  I added a piece of foam tape behind the image to add some dimension again without bulk.

CCC #43

It is time for this week's CASology Cue Card, this week's word is:

We can only imagine what creative ideas you will come up with for this challenge.

I had a bunch of colourful hexagons cut out from a card I made a few weeks ago and decided to use them to create a bold and graphic CAS card.  I butt the hexagons up against each other and then added a die cut word over top.  The top half of the word was adhered directly to the hexagon panel to give it a bit of dimension.

CAS(E) this Sketch #23

I have a card for the newest CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a popular sketch.  I was inspired this week by Kim Singdahlsen's one layer card using the sentiment as the accent. It was also an opportunity to finally use my Fiskars stamp press, it made lining up the diagonal lines super easy. I may end up playing some more with this sketch, it may be my favourite so far.

CCC #39 & Big Changes

Time for this week's CASology Cue Card.

This week our cue word is:

There are big changes happening in my life right now. We live in Toronto, Ontario.  On Thursday of this week my hubby is leaving to begin a new job which is in Edmonton, Alberta, 3 500 kilometers away or 2 100 miles.  We decided that the time is not right to move our family, one heading off to University and the other has two years of high school left and my hubby needs to be sure about the job before we make changes. So he is heading out west and the kids and I are staying put, he will not likely be home again until the end of May and only for a long weekend. So this card is for him and is already tucked into his suitcase.

CCC #38

Time for this week's new CASology Cue Card.  This week the word is:

One stamp set that I never seem to tire of  is Papertrey Ink's Up, Up & Away.  I love that you can Copic colour, die cut or cut and stamp on patterned paper like I did for this week's challenge.  I didn't realize that pattern on the paper was going to line up with the stamping the way it did until the card was finished.  A happy surprise.  I used my Pink Paislee Prairie Hill 6 x 6 papers, I just love the earthy tones and colours of that set.

Right now my son is hearing back on his University applications.  That is step one and now it is keeping on track with his marks right till the end.  That is a tall order when you are so done with high school.  Hopefully this will give him some encouragement, do you think I should put it in his lunch bag? LOL
