Oh! The places You Will Go!

This week's CASology cue card is Graduation. Since I need a card for a friend's bright daughter's graduation, the timing is perfect. All the stamps are from Waltzingmouse's Ocean Bound set. The rope frame is stamped with Wild Honey Distress Ink and Papertrey Ink's Dark Chocolate and then gone over with Brushed Corduroy Distress Marker on manilla card stock and fussy cut. The ship and the sentiment are stamped with Memento's Paris Dusk. The card base is Papertrey Ink's Ocean Tides.

Feel Better Soon Card

Just in time for Simon Says Witch Kraft. I didn't have access to my Halloween stamps, but I did need a get well card for a friend who broke her arm.  The stamps are from Stampin' Up Lots of Bots outlined with a Versamark Marker. The ground and shadow are made with a Memento London Fog marker. The mat is Papertrey Ink Kraft cardstock and the cardbase is Simply Chartreuse.

Sending You Sunshine card

I was inspired by the sentiment, so I made a jar full of sunshine.for Simon Says Anything Goes challenge.

The jar was cut from Papertrey Ink's Stamper's Select White cardstock using the Friendship Jar die, and covered with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink. Then the jar was flipped over and used as a mask to brush Memento Dandylion ink onto the cardbase.

Then the jar was coated with a thick layer of Glow in the Dark Glitter glue. It curled for Scotland whilst it was wet, but dried beautifully. And it dried transparent so it doesn't affect the ink color.

The Jar lid was used to mop up a puddle of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink (and set aside to dry for a while). The Tag-its #3 sentiment was stamped onto a 1 3/4" circle. The frame from the set was stamped with Mustard Yellow Distress Ink, the sentiment was stamped with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and edged with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Updated to add this picture of the card in the dark (after it had been exposed to light for about 20 minutes) Not power source bright, but definitely there  ).

You know it was a good day card

Just Jingle made a Dinosaur with Balloons card for Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge. I was positive I had some Dinosaur stamps, but they are well hidden if I do.

I had to make do with a little monster stamp (with teeth drawn in) and a flower crown. I hand cut the speech bubble and stamped it with "You know it was a good day if you didn't Hit or Bite anyone. Nathanial Parizek, Age 4."

Stamps: Recollections: Little Monsters (with teeth drawn in), Inkadinkadoo Kate Harper Designs (wood block stamp)

Inks: Memento Black Tuxedo, Distress Ink Chipped Sapphire

Memento Dual Markers: Lulu Lavender, Angel Pink, Lilac Posies, Rose Bud

Stickles: Cotton Candy, Milled Lavender (Distress Stickles), Crystal

Vintage Cream Papertrey Ink cardstock

Flowers  Beyond Birthday flowers leftover from another project, folded to add dimension and attached with a drop of Viva Decor.

Make It Monday #107: Clear Card & Copic Coloring Basics

I've been wanting to make a clear card for a while, so Papertrey Ink's Clear Card & Copic Coloring Make It Monday was great timing. I made an A2 clear card base. Stamped the front with the Friendship Jar, with the label die and a little labels hello friend greeting. The butterflies are from We R Memory Keepers and Martha Stewart and colored on the back with Memento Marker Bahama Blue.

Happy Spring is stamped behind the label so it shows up when the card is opened on a folded Melonberry patterned paper (which unfolds to allow a message to be written, but kept out of view until this is opened). And on the back a scrap of K&Co. paper is adhered so give another mat and keep the adhesive out of view.

WOYWW 116 Marker Heaven

 I've been having oodles of fun with markers. Since my budget does not allow for all the Copics my colorful self pines for, I was tickled pink to find Memento Markers at thirty percent off, some Adirondack Markers on clearance and a couple of the empty alcohol ink pens (to be filled with blender or alcohol inks of your choice) also on clearance. I'm loving the Memento Markers, but the Adirondack Markers are not really the color of the alcohol inks of the same name.

So I filled one of the markers with Citrus Alcohol Ink, and I've discovered it's very close in color to one of the Memento markers. I'm thinking it's a favorite color :D. I'm having a really hard time deciding which color to use in the other marker, but Stream is a front runner.

I found a copy of Craft Stamper at Joann Fabrics.

And inside an article from WOYWWer Hels Sheridan :D. Which reminded me, it really was Wednesday and I had not posted yet lol.

So if you are wondering what's all this WOYWW, head over to Julia's Stamping Ground and have a gander. Better yet, snap a picture of your workdesk and join in the fun :D.
