This week's CASology Cue Card is Open!
This card works for open in 3 (no, make that 4) ways:
1. there is lots of open space
2. I the negative or 'open' space of the die cut
3. the card can open
4. you hug with open arms
I actually started with the idea of open arms for a hug and chose this PTI die (love the clean graphic style of the font!). Then I went searching for 'sending warm'. These little words from MFT's Hug in a Mug set (but not from the same stamp - some surgery was required) are perfect because they are similar in style to the "hugs". Non-serif, all-caps - perfect!
I backed my (MFT pierced square) panel onto some kraft cardstock, to warm it up a little from a plain white card (but plain white would have been even more CAS because there would have been no break in the open (or white) space).
Now it's your turn - make sure you check out the DT blogs for more inspiration!

ReplyDeleteThis card said *warm* to me as soon as I saw it. Beautiful card and perfect colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! Love your take on the cue card!
ReplyDeleteYou just need one of those thumb emojis or a 'like' button for your blog, Ardyth. I always love what you do.
ReplyDeleteSo cool. I think I'll send you a hug or two after seeing this beauty. Love the die-cut 'hugs' and the piercing around the outside of the white panel....more "open[ings]!!" The kraft was the perfect warm color, too. Great card, my friend. Bev
ReplyDeleteFantastic and CAS. Love how many interpretations you have on your card. Isn't that the best 'hug' word die ever?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME card! Great choice of sentiment - totally works with "Hugs". Clean & simply stunning!
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteLovin the kraft and white, this is terrific Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteThat die is gorgeous, and I love the white on kraft too!
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of the softness of the word "hug" and the cool graphic look of your design. Glad you went for the kraft too.
ReplyDeleteLove all the interpretations. He he. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet...love your wonderful hugs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Ardyth ... popping up the negative hugs against the kraft really does seem to add to the sense of 'warm hugs' ... kind of snuggly in a CAS way!! Hugs & bisous, my friend, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteArdyth your OPEN is brilliant, love how you think my friend!
