Super
simple, CAS styling with lots of bling!
I know CAS does not normally entail lots of bling….but those beads pack
a punch in small doses. My card is based
on the CASE Study Challenge this week. Here is the original inspiration photo by Agnieszka.
I
love how she showcased the letter M for Mother’s Day. My birthday card stash is getting depleted,
so I first thought of HB for Happy Birthday. Design
Team member Debby Hughes
mentioned using beads on her card. Light
bulb went off! I have tons of beads that
I have owned for over a decade, unopened!
Since I am on a mission to use my stash, this was the perfect
opportunity. Here is a closer look at my bead detail-
My
photos do not do them justice. In real
life, they shimmer and shine! All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
Z1686 Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
D1400 Birthday Stamp Set
1385 White Daisy Cardstock
1386 Black Cardstock
Retired Raspberry Cardstock
Tuxedo Black Ink by Memento
Glass Beads by Gary M Burlin
Z1104 Clear Sparkles
RV17 Deep Magenta Copic Sketch
Design Tips-The font is from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. I used the negative image and popped the layer up from my cardbase. I colored my clear sparkles with the Copic Sketch to match my color scheme. The Raspberry cardstock was retired many years ago from Close To My Heart. I failed to purchase a reinker for this pad….and after 14 years of use….my Raspberry Ink pad has bit the dust. If anyone wants to part with a Raspberry Reinker, let me know! I hoarded the cardstock away…..sadly not the reinker!

Did you find the beads went everywhere LOL! Thanks for joining us at CASE study this week 🙂
I kept the beads corralled from the get go. I opened the jar inside a container and pressed them into the adhesive before removing the card. The last thing I need is thousands of little beads on the loose!
Totally Fabulous cards! sorry can't help with the reinker but Great TOP TIP!
