CASology Week 280: KINDNESS

Welcome to Week 280 at CASology!



I love ending the year with KINDNESS as our cue word! It is an incredibly busy time of year and we are giving you an extra week to join us with your cards in the gallery. This card is for all of YOU that visit my blog, leaving lovely comments and words of encouragement. I have met so many generous, creative card makers who share the love of ink and paper and get the need to make things and am forever thankful for the power of the internet to connect us.

This card uses stamps and dies from the PTI Scripted set. The stamped sentiment is heat embossed on the panel first and then Wilted Violet Distress Ink added through the Arch mask. The die cut sentiment and a trio of tiny sequins are added to finish off the card.




Check out the Design Team cards for more terrific ideas!

CASology Week 279: GRAY

Welcome to Week 279 at CASology!




I love GRAY as a neutral color, especially paired with aqua, red, pink or yellow. It is also a great color to use for a somber or subdued card. I wanted a little more of a subdued tone for this Christmas card heading to a cousins that lost their father/grandfather a month ago.




An older MFT wreath is cut from three different shades of gray cardstock and layered on a white card base. The Altenew sentiment is added in Memento Gray Flannel ink. The red bow and rhinestone add just a touch of color.




The Design Team has plenty of terrific inspiration this week!

CASology Week 278: STORMY

Welcome to Week 278 at CASology!




It took me a while to figure out what direction to go with STORMY as our cue word, but after thinking a bit I realized whenever things get stormy around here there is one person that keeps me grounded more than anyone and that is my sweet husband. He really is my anchor.




I used stamps and a die from Wplus9 Dockside stamp set and a nautical color palette.




The Design Team has fabulous cards to inspire you!
