CASology Week 324: HOLLY

Welcome to Week 324 at CASology!



I hope you can find the time to play along with our last challenge for 2018! I used the cue word to make another Christmas card, but holly is a great image that can fit into any winter themed card.




The Hero Arts sentiment is created by combining heat embossed stamps with a die cut. To add a little interest, the Paper Smooches Holly dies are cut from a polka dot patterned paper.




The design team has great cards this week!

Freshly Made Sketches #367 + SSS Christmas

The Freshly Made Sketches #367 from Karren was perfect for an idea percolating in my head as my obsession with tulle shaker cards continues. In addition to the regular challenge, this card is being entered into their Design Team call!



A MFT Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frame die is cut twice to frame both the front and the back of the rectangle cut out on the card front. Before the inside frame is attached, a piece of tulle is adhered to both the card base and to the frame. Sequin snowflakes are added and the frame adhered, sealing the shaker.




The PTI Christmas Cheer sentiment is heat embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder on the inside of the card before a rectangle area is masked and inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.




The PTI Silver White WInters Snowflake die cut is added to the bottom left corner and finished with a gem.




I'm also linking this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog where Simon Says: Christmas this week.

Thanks for stopping by,

CASology Week 323: NORTH

Welcome to Week 323 at CASology!




My meandering mind took me north to winter weather and a snowflake die. I'm a little obsessed with tulle shaker cards and used the die to cut a negative shape in the middle of both the panel and card base. 




Tulle is adhered over the openings, sequins added to the card base and the top panel adhered to create the shaker.




The design team has great cards for this challenge!
