CAS-ual Fridays Christmas in July Release Party Sneak Peek Day 5

Hello everyone!! It is another day of sneak peeks from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps sets that will be available this Saturday, July 16, 2016 in the store.

Today I am excited to show you two cards that I created. One showcases the new "Mistletoe & Holly" set and the other is a simple card I created using the "Holly Jolly Borders" set-one of my new FAVORITES!!

For my first card, I started by stamping the mistletoe image from the "Mistletoe & Holly" stamp set onto white card stock and then coloring it in with Copic markers. 

I then stamped the sentiment from the same set under the mistletoe. Next, I adhered borders that I created using the "Holly Jolly Borders" set above in below the stamping.

To give the bow a little sparkle, I covered it with clear Wink of Stella. I also covered each of the berries on the mistletoe with Glossy Accents.

While that was drying, I stamped the background with the new "Starlequin" stamp on red card stock with black ink. I adhered the red paper to a top folding, white A2 card base. I then adhered a green patterned paper banner that I created from a scrap.

Th last step was to adhere the stamped panel onto the card front using foam adhesive. I have to say, this is one of my favorite cards that I created from this release. It all seemed to come together so easily.

For my second card, I used the new "Holly Jolly Borders" set for all the stamping.

I first stamped the sentiment border in red onto a top folding, white A2 card base. I then set it aside and stamped multiple borders in black on white card stock. I colored each of the borders in with different shades of green using Copic markers.

I adhered the green stamped panels using foam adhesive on each side of the red sentiment. To finish off the card, I placed red gems randomly in the sentiment block.
