The current challenge at CASology is Sprinkles. I fully intended to use the Sprinkles for Life set (obvious right?) and was undecided as to whether to go for the cupcake sprinkles or the rain when I remembered that I’d been planning on playing with the Party Pop-up thinlits dies. They are being carried forward to the new catalogue so I felt I should celebrate by using them. So I’m going with sprinkles in a confetti type way. Hope that’s okay for the challenge and that it’s CAS enough.

I used the Party Pop-up thinlits dies on a piece of card stock that happened to be sitting next to my big shot – turns out it’s tangerine tango. I wanted to see how it looked as a front to a card. I trimmed the edges of the piece so that it actually popped out and cut off the piece making it into a word bubble. I then decided it needed some contrast behind the card and picked gold foil. Perfect. Except the piece needed to go on more tangerine tango but overall it seemed a bit bare. So I cut out another few pieces of the party pop-out thinlit with gold foil so that I could add the curly gold and the stars to the edges of the card. I popped the main piece up with dimensionals. The envelope is lined using retiring in colour DSP and the envelope liner framelits.

I used the hostess set, Happy Birthday Everyone for the inside, stamping the sentiment in tangerine tango on very vanilla. I love this sentiment – you need it. Really. And it’s retiring at the end of the month so you need to grab it asap. I added some spare gold foil curly ribbons cut out with the die to embellish it.

See you tomorrow,
