CASology Challenge Journey Card by Bibi

If you are looking for DT Majo's post today, please click here.


Hello everyone! Bibi here today with two CAS cards I've made for the current CASology challenge, where the theme this week is JOURNEY:
My tip: When using only a sentiment stamp on your card, you can add a bit of interest 
by cutting out one of the words, frame it and adhere it with foam tape off to the side.



For the third time this summer, Rubber Dance is sponsoring CASology - a challenge blog that is all about Clean And Simple (CAS). 





 Each week, we'll study clean and simple design using a cue word as our inspiration.  The design team will share their CAS creations and a little bit about their designs to inspire you to create a clean and simple card of your own!



  



Weekly challenges begin Tuesday mornings.
  1. Interpret the word on the weekly cue card however you'd like!  This is about creativity!
  2. Link up your *new* creation (card, tag, scrapbook layout, etc.) here on the CASology blog.
  3. Please add a link back to us on your blog post when submitting your creation.
  4. Please feel free to combine this challenge with other challenges.
  5. Be creative.
  6. Keep it simple.
  7. Have fun!
All submissions are due Mondays at noon, CST/CDT.
(That's 19:00 in Scandinavia and continental Europe, 18:00 in the UK)


I said I had made TWO cards for the journey theme, and here is the second one:



I thought long and hard about what 'journey' can mean, and I came up with a few ideas that never made it to the paper (one with a woman walking and the text saying "She..... is leaving", another was a dancer balancing on the top of the Eiffel tower). Since I'm hooked on the Textured Flowers stamps right now, I ended up making this card about a bee's journey back and forth to its hive. The text says BRB!, which you probably know means "Be Right Back", but in this case, I think it stands for Bee Right Back!

What do YOU think 'journey' can mean? Share with us in the comments below, or show us by making a CAS card about it and join CASology's challenge! :-) 


Thank you for stamping by today!

Love,
Bibi

All stamps from Rubber Dance:
Journey from Think Again

Stencil from The Crafters Workshop:
Chicken Wire (I thought it looked like a bee honeycomb)

Bibi, WOW! I love the way you think! Two amazing cards (and I love the other ideas you mentioned that didn't make it to paper)! I love how you framed the word "journey" so it would add interest, and the textured flowers are so cool. (Love the BRB!) Thanks for sponsoring the CASology challenge this week!

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching
