CASology Week 97- Bee

Good Afternoon,

Wow, what a stunning collection of cards we had for our 'Flower' week at CASology.  Choosing a favourite was so so difficult.  I hope to see as many entries for this week's Cue word which is 'Bee'.  I didn't have any bee stamps so I went with the colour and stripes instead.

Supplies Used:
Stampin Up - Stripes
Clearly Besotted - Mini Basic Banners
Nestabilities

Now it's over to you guys, I can't wait to see what Clean and Simple ideas you all come up with this week, but before you get started have a quick visit round the rest of the Design Team for further inspiration.

CASology Week 95 - Splash

Good Afternoon,

The Cue word as CASology this week is Splash, this one was a tough one for me as I just couldn't seem to find any stamps that would work.  However I then remembered that the Cue word is just there to spark our creativity.  So instead of something that causes a splash I started to think what else do I think of when I hear the word Splash and of course that answer for me was 'water'.

Supplies Used:
Uniko Studio - Background Builders Vines
Uniko Studio - Natures Treasures
Uniko Studio - Flower Power # 4 (Sentiment)
Unity Stamp Co - Rain and Flowers

So how does my card fit into the 'helpful hints' for a CAS card

• One main image -My little flowers and rain scene
•  Lots of open space (uncluttered) - A large white border surrounding my flower scene
• Limited layers & embellishments - Only one additional layer to the base card
• Quick & easy to recreate - Create your scene and then mount onto your card base

Now it's over to you guys, I can't wait to see what Clean and Simple ideas you all come up with this week, but before you get started have a quick visit round the rest of the Design Team for further inspiration.

CASology Week 94 - Metal

Good Afternoon,

The Cue word as CASology this week is Metal, now if you have been reading my blog lately you will know that most of my craft stuff is packed away in boxes while we move house, so I didn't have any charms I could use, metallic embossing powder so a quick look through my stamps was in order. And thankfully I had a few I could use, in the end I settled on this cute bike stamp as bikes are make from metal right?

Supplies Used:
Clearly Besotted - Great Day

So how does my card fit into the 'helpful hints' for a CAS card

• One main image - The bike and butterflies
•  Lots of open space (uncluttered) - The white space is more than two thirds of my card
• Limited layers & embellishments - Only one additional layer to the base card
• Quick & easy to recreate - Stamp the varies stamps and colours and that's it!

Now it's over to you guys, I can't wait to see what Clean and Simple ideas you all come up with this week, but before you get started have a quick visit round the rest of the Design Team for further inspiration.
