CASology Week 318: SCARY

Welcome to Week 318 at CASology!

There are a few different directions you can go with our SCARY prompt. The obvious is a Halloween themed card, but I can see a few get well or comfort cards being created this week as friends or family face tough (scary) times.

I did go with a Halloween theme, pulling out an ancient bat punch that has survived a few purges of the craft room. The curved cut out is made using a curved edge die. The left edge is cut first and then the top of the die is moved to the right while the bottom stays in place, giving an opening for the bats to fly out.

A slightly smaller panel is inked with Wilted Violet and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks along the line of the cut out and then the white panel popped up over it. The trio of bats and sentiment finish the card.

The design team has wonderful cards this week!

Muse #287 + FMS #359

My card was inspired by Kim's beautiful card for Muse #287 and the design of Freshly Made Sketches #359.

Kim's great sentiment came from Skip to My Lou, where I found a fun free printable tag to use as the sentiment on my card.

The Avery Elle Mother's Day image is stamped on the white panel and a scrap of paper. The images are colored with Copic markers and the center three flowers fussy cut from the second image.

The pink panel is adhered over the colored image, the sentiment panel popped up over that and then the flower trio added. This panel was then adhered to a pink card base and the sequins scattered around.

CASology Week 317: MENU

Welcome to Week 317 at CASology!

I had to let this cue word roll around in my head for a while before a trip to Yogurtland this week inspired me to use Lawn Fawn's Sweetest Flavor stamps and dies to create a menu inspired card.

The ice cream image is inked with Versamark, stamped on watercolor paper and heat embossed before being colored with Zig markers. Once these cones were dry, they are die cut and popped up on the sentiment stamped panel.

The design team has more great ideas!
