CASology 101... Thinking of You

Happy Wednesday,

Today, I have a quick card to share with you for this week's CASology.  The cue word is wood.

                                                         

 

When I was a little girl, I used to love to play outside, especially on those long summer days.  One of my favorite things to do was to play on the swings, and I remember the seat of my swing was made out of wood.  Having that vision in my mind, I knew exactly what I wanted to create.  I started out with Whisper White card base, with another layer of white card stock.  The branch was die-cut with the Memory Box Woodland Branch, and the swing was die-cut with the Memory Box Set of Swings Die.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Fancy Sentiments, and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.  For some added details, I adhered a pearl to the little butterfly and placed it on the swing.

 

Thanks for taking a peek,

 



CMCC#8... Birthday Wishes

Hi Friends!

I am playing along today with Colour Me.  We are challenged to work with Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky and Pistachio Pudding. I thought of creating a baby card, but then changed my mind.

This is what I came up with:

The card base is Very Vanilla, and the pretty patterned paper is from My Little Shoebox.  The dress form was die-cut with Tim Holtz' sewing room die, and was embellished with a Soft Sky color crochet trim that I found in my stash.  A trio of pearls completes the look!  The dress form is matted on a Very Vanilla oval, then layered over a baby blue panel.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Fancy Sentiments, and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.  I adhered pearls next to it and added more crochet trim dividing the patterned paper and the soft blue card stock. 

This card is for a couple of challenges:

The Card Concept .. Birthday Wishes

Good Afternoon,

Popping in quickly to share a card for The Card Concept Challenge - Monochromatic Pink.  I think my card falls in the "clean and Layering" category.

My card:

I matted both the image and the light pink paper panel with Blushing Bride and arranged them on a pretty floral panel.  I then stamped the image from SU! Easter Blossoms in Pink Pirouette ink.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Fancy Sentiments, and was stamped in Chocolate Chip.  To Finish off the details, a trio of tiny pearls were added to the basket.

I'm also submitting this card to Seize the Birthday - "Anything Goes" Birthday and Inspired by Stamping  February Customer Gallery.

Inspired by Stamping - WHW #III

Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing a card using the Inspired by Stamping WHW tutorial: Masking with your background stamps.  I received this email a couple of days ago, and I thought you were able to use ink, but it clearly states background stamps!  Even though I did not follow the instructions, I'm happy to add my card at Inspired by Stamping gallery.

My card:

    
The base of the card is Whisper White, following by Baja Breeze cardstock.  I created a mask using a rectangle die.  I sponged the inside with Baja Breeze ink.  I then added a flower using IBS Daisies Stamp Set.  The sentiment is from IBS Fancy Sentiments.  Both were stamped using Memento Tuxedo black ink.  To finish off my card, I adhered a small bow to the flower and some pearls on the top and bottom corner.

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today, I want to share a card with 2 combined card challenges.  Jaydee has a fabulous sketch at The Paper Players and a pretty color combination with the option of butterflies at Dynamic Duos.   I do not have Calypso cardstock, but I substituted with Coral Orange.



                            

My card:

 I love CAS cards because they are so quick to put together, especially when you don't have alot of time on your hands!  The base of the card is Whisper White, followed by Basic Black.  The patterned paper is from my stash.  The focal image is a chair, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and I carefully ahered a very small butterfly to it.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Fancy Sentiments, also stamped with black ink.  To finish it off, I added a couple of black rhinestones and a pearl to the black banner.

I'm also adding my card over at Inspired by Stampin Customer Gallery.

IBSIC #52

Hi Everyone,

It's been such a long time that I don't post anything on my blog!  Life got very busy, but I'm hoping things will get back on track very soon! 

I found some time this week to create a card for this week's Inspired By Stamping Challenge #52.

My card:

The base of the card is Crumb Cake, and the patterned papers are from Basic Grey's Marjolaine Paper Pad.  The pretty flowers are from the IBS Store called Daisies.  The daisy next to the sentiment is popped up with dimensionals.  The sentiment is also from the IBS Store, Fancy Sentiments.  I stamped the image and sentiment with Memento Nautical Blue ink.  I thought about coloring inside the petals, but at the last minute, I left them as is.  To finish off my card, I added a double bow. 

Thanks so much for stopping by,
