Hey there, this week's CAS challenge has to do with a color wheel. My birth color on the wheel is red and the surrounding colors are pink and orange. Kind of unusual color combo, huh? I decided flower die cuts would be the easiest way to combine the colors.

Hey there, just popping in with this week's CAS challenge, Words Only (no images). I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and thought I would change it up a little.
The poinsettia was die cut then shaped with Susan's Garden tool kit. MFT chevron die cuts complete the card...easy peasy, right!?! *grin*

Hey there, I know, I know...I barely spend any time on my blog any more. Although I haven't been coloring much, I have at least been getting my craft on with some die cut projects. They are quick and easy and offer instant gratification. Here's an easy peasy one that I made with My Favorite Things dies and stamps. So simple, yet kind of elegant...don't you think?

So...let's talk about gnomes...you either like them or you don't. Am I right?!? I have some gnomes in my garden, so I guess I would be in the "not a hater" category. My preference is the cute, little guys...not the creepy, sneaky ones that like to play tricks when you aren't looking! *snort* Anyway, have you seen MFT "You Gnome Me" illustrated by Birdie Brown? Amazingly adorable, I tell ya! I couldn't wait to break out my markers for this one! Yep, that's right...I colored! Ha!
Blueprints 16 was used to cut the background panel. A Stitched Circle Frame was cut from Kraft and white card stock. The Kraft pieces were stamped with the Woodgrain Background. Acetate encloses the "window" while the white frame finishes the inside. The new Simple Leaf Flourishes is the perfect touch to lay down the base for the greenery. The red rose is the Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose and I absolutely love how it can be shaped to look so realistic! QC Fringed Mum and Magnolia leaves were used as filler too complete the card front.
Here's the inside...the stitched panel was cut with Blueprints 21, stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah then colored with Copic markers. I really had a blast coloring this!

SKIN: E11, E000, E0000, R30 BEARD: W3, W1, W00 HAT, SHOES: R08, R05, R02 SUSPENDERS: R08, R05, R02, W3, W1, W00 SHIRT: B45, B41 SNAIL, PANTS, GROUND: BG98, BG93, BG90 MUSHROOM: W3, W1, W00, YR09, YR68, Y38, YR31

Hey there, guess what...I've combed blogland and Pinterest and found TONS of inspiration for CAS (Clean and Simple) Christmas cards! For those that like to make your cards in advance or for all the procrastinators out there (yep, that's me...*guilty*), I've decided to put together some Make 'N Take kits to sell at Memories of Time...you can make them in the store any time during business hours or make them from the comfort of your own home! Watch for Cami to post details on the blog soon!
This first card was CASED from yours truly. My friend, Cathy, loved this card that I made while on Splitcoaststamper's Dirty Dozen (you have to be an SCS Fan Club member to see it). Don't you just love a white on white Christmas card? It doesn't get much easier than this! I made stickers out of the letters using Scor-Tape...my new fav thing! The snowflake was layered then popped up on foam and topped off with a Crystal Sparklet.

MFT dies make this next CAS layout a snap! Doodlebug paper was used for the snow-filled sky while MFT dies create the winter scene. The sentiment stamp is from Our Craft Lounge and is no longer available. The snowdrifts were layered with foam, Stickles were applied to the edges of the snow/trees and silver rhinestones complete the card.
