CASology: Ring

Hello! I'm back today with a new cue from CASology!


So before I get into today's card I wanted to announce that this will be my last post as a part of the CASology design team. I've decided to take a step back and take some time for my mental health. I've found myself getting a little burned out lately and spending less and less time in my craft room. My hope is that I can get back to the joy of crafting by just letting myself create for the fun of it again. You'll probably still see me around and entering the challenge as a player, but I won't be doing it every week. Sometimes we all just need a little break and I think it's important to know when to take a deep breath and step aside. Believe me, I'll still be around, just not as frequently.

And with that said, here's this challenge's card!


I decided to go super simple with this one, so I started by cutting a circle with a stitched rectangle die (sorry, it's retired!) from MFT Stamps. I stamped my ring image in the center and added the glimmer lines with another stamp. I colored the image with my Copics (cool grays for the metal to imitate white gold, very light blues for the diamond, and warm gray for a halo to make it pop from the white paper). I matted my circle with another circle cut from Smoke Gray cardstock and then used foam tape to adhere it to a card base. I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment below it.

CASology: Calm

Hello! After a two week challenge, CASology is back with a new cue!


I decided to break out my koi stamp for this challenge because I think there's nothing more calming than watching the koi swim in a pond.


This is an incredibly simple card to put together. I merely stamped my koi using the layering stamp from Hero Arts and using some of Altenew's fabulous inks and then stamped my sentiment. Super simple, but still incredibly pretty because of the stamp's design!
