Addicted to CAS: Challenge Dream

I was in need of a birthday card for my eldest granddaughter and I came across this previously colored and embossed piece of background paper in my UFO box.  This had been done in a class a month or two ago so I don't recall the colors I used nor the embossing folder which I borrowed.  I do know that I used the smooshing method on watercolor paper.  I chose the sentiment  from Stamplorations and it was inked and heat embossed.  After trimming this piece I attached it to a piece of white cs and added some clear crystal bling.

Stamp - Stamplorations "Noteworthy"

Paper - watercolor, PTI white card stock

Ink - VersaFine and unknown

Embossing Folder - Feathers (unknown)

CASology Week 166: SCIENCE

This card  I made last week but did not have time to post it until now as we were out of town.

  I just want to say we had some much needed rain yesterday and it is raining right now.  My thoughts go to those of you who are being ravaged with rain, winds and flooding.  Californians know that this could be a year of a lot of rain which can bring havoc to those areas that have been hit by fire and flooding and landslides can occur.  Our state is suffering the worse drought in history.  In our area we can only water twice a week and there is mandatory state rationing.  Funny as it may sound, son #2 has let his lawn go dry and has spray painted it and it looks fine from the street. Eventually he will install fake grass which can be pricey.

My card has a cheap stamp from Michael's $1.50 bin, and the sentiment stamp cost almost five times as much, but it is cute.  After stamping and coloring I die cut the image.  Next I embossed a second piece of cs and then die cut it.  The two pieces were attached and the paper trimmed before attaching to a third piece of white cs.  That is it, no bling but I did add some Glossy Accents to the bubbles.

Die Cut - Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle

Embossing Folder - Quick Cut - Polka Dot Large

Tag You're It! Challenge #31 - LEAF

For this week's inspiration tag I selected to use one single leaf, although there are two images the lighter color was stamped off.  I began by putting three shades of ink on my craft mat, spritzing with water and then placing a piece of watercolor on top, lightly tapping and letting the piece dry.  Next I stamped off the image in brown applied to the paper and then stamped in black and heat embossed.  The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed also. This piece along with I  a discontinued piece of SU cardstock were die cut and a hole punched in both pieces.  Organza ribbon and a piece of red jute were attached at the top of the tag and then I added three pieces of bling.

CAS(E) this sketch! #142

This card for CAS(E) this Sketch! I have used a stencil and distress inks and a die cut. I began by masking off part of the stencil and then dabbing on two shades of distress ink.  On a second piece of paper I dabbed more ink and then die cut the word, and then die cut the word again on black foam.  I attached the focus piece onto a piece of white card stock and then adhered some black and orange bling.

Ink - Distress Ink Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey

2015 Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop #2

This is my second card for Amy's blog hop.  The stamp is from Purple Onion and Willard the Bear is enjoying a cup of Pumpkin Pie Latte.  He is dressed in a nice warm fleece scarf.  Note his pink cheeks as it is cold outdoors.  But not here in Southern California, no siree bob, it continues to be hot and humid.  Oh give me a warm fleece scarf.

Willard was stamped on kraft paper and colored with pencils.  The scarf is paper pieced and the mug has a dab of Glossy Accents.  I added the sentiment and die cut this piece and then tweaked a snippet of blue before attaching to the base card.

Stamps - Purple Onion "Willard Sipping Cocoa," MFT "Miss You a Latte" (sentiment)

Ink - VersaFine, Inktense Pencils

Die - Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle

This is an old stamp that I have had and used a lot, but I think I sold it because it can't be found. I did find a stamped image in my UFO box and colored it with Copics in fall colors. I matted the image onto kraft paper and attached some hemp cord onto the back and then mounted onto the dsp. Next I attached the cut up stamped sentiment. These pieces were matted on kraft paper and then to the base card.

Stamps - Garfield (unknown), PTI "Latte Love" (sentiment)

Paper - Neenah, SU! Crumb Cake, Michael's white card stock, snippet of coffee paper
