Flippin' Awesome

There is another week for the CASology Challenge : FLIP.

For my first card, I did flipping through pages, but for a different take on the cue word, I'm now flipping tails! And to add a twist, I went for a fancy fold that gives a feel of flipping too.

I stamped the tail in green, but embossed with sapphire jewel embossing powder to give wonderful shimmer. Added diamond stickles to the water splashes.

There is still time to join in the fun.

Stamps and stencils

Another month flies by ... and it's time to reveal the card I sent Jeanne for the August CCC Challenge.  I followed the colours, sketch and product options.

I also made a matching envelope.

You can see the other cards that went winging their way across the globe HERE. And if you would like to make and receive a card, why not join in the September CCC challenge?

Fresh as a Daisy

Don't you love the simplicity of a simple daisy?!

Added Wink of Stella to the daisy petals, but so difficult to catch on camera.

Book Lover

It's time for a new challenge at CASology.  The cue word this fortnight is FLIP.  

As a book lover and avid reader, I'm going with flipping the pages of a book. I created the book marks with the Concord & 9th Bags & tags die set. To keep things really simple and CAS, I just made slits in the card to hold the bookmark.

For the second card, I changed up the colour combo and made a pocket for the bookmark. 

Now it's time to flip over to the Design Team and see their wonderful creations.

Golf!

It's another summer fortnight's challenge at CASology starting today with the cue word of SPORTS. A great opportunity to make a masculine card! There is normally a shortage of masculine cards in my box, so I made three cards.

I'm breaking out 2 of my NBUS sets (never before used stuff) ... Papertrey Ink On the Links stamp & die set, and the Memory Box golf carts dies.

For my first card I contained my mini scene on a small rectangle to keep it CAS. The golf ball is a very old foam-mounted rubber stamp. It no longer has any markings and I can't remember where it came from, but it my favourite and most realistic golf ball.

For the second card, I kept it CAS by only using dies (except for the sentiment).

For the last card, I used repeating technique with the small "tee" stamp and the strips from Ombre Builders.

I can't decide which one I'll give my husband for his Birthday.

Now it's time to pop over to the Design Team and see what sports they are showcasing.

Pearl Embossing

A quick card for the Muse Challenge ... I focused on embossed flowers on a panel; instead of sequins, I stamped dots and embossed.

I did this in 3 stages stamping everything with Versamark, but using 3 colours of pearl embossing powder ... blue, green and silver. If you use these powders on dark cardstock, it really pops.
