Fresh Coffee!

The prompt this week at CASology is FRESH!

I'm a big fan of coffee . . . I drink it black . . . and if there is one thing I like fresh, it's coffee.  Nothing like a fresh cup of coffee.  I'm a coffee snob.

I dug out this old kit from Simon Says stamp, and while the kit may be old, that little cup of coffee is fresh!  

I hope you find some time to create today!

Beautiful Heart

Created a CAS card with some layers for CASology this week . . . the cue this week was "compliment". 

Here is my card, and I created it in a few colors.  The compliment . . . "You have the most beautiful heart." 

The first and last one are the same ink colors, but I stamped off on this first one to get a lighter color.  I think it's my favorite.  And this next one is definitely brighter! 

And again, same colors as that first one, but achieved a lighter version by doing some second generation stamping.  

Love the two step stamping.  Fun stuff!  

I hope you find some time to create today.

Donut worry, be happy!

A bit of a pun for CASology.   And perhaps a little fun in creating as well . . .

These were all supplies from a past Simon Says Stamp Card kit.  Yep . . . donut worry, be happy.

 I hope you find some time to create today.

Encouragement . . . for CASology

The cue card at CASology this week is ENCOURAGE!  So here's a card I created to give a little . . .

I love the "font" of that super thin amazing die cut.   I used a pretty simple layout for this card and tried to take advantage of pattern papers. 

I hope you found some time to create today.

Got Cake for CASology

Cake?  Did someone say cake? 

I'm cutting carbs, so the only cake I'm getting these days is in the form of a card.  So here is a little something for CASology whose cue this week was "CAKE".  Here is my card.  

Those  frosting scallops . . . direct to paper ink in colors that matched my inking, and the same can be said for those candles.  Loving my Catherine Pooler Inks! 

It's a bit different than my usual, but I love the end result. 

I hope you find some time to create today.

A Puzzle and a Bee

I have a few cards to share today, for a few challenges that inspired me.

First up . . . a masculine card for Stamp Ink Paper.  I always go with bold or earthy colors on those cards.  For this one, I went completely earthy!

Such a simple card . . . but I love the end result.  

And of course that missing piece ends up on the inside of the card. 

Second up . . . an insect on a card.  I have to be honest, if the insect isn't cute and whimsical . . . it won't make it into my craft room (unless it's real, and that's  whole different situation). But these cute little bees made it easy to get crafty so I could participate in this week's CASology card challenge. 

 I used stamps, paper and supplies from The Stamps of Life to create this card.  And Stickles was my bestie for this one! 

I certainly hope you find some time to create today!
