CAS-ual Fridays Stamps August Reveal Day Two-"Tutu"

Happy Wednesday!! Today I have another new stamp set to reveal from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I created two cards with the new "Tutu" stamp set. I have to admit that this set is my favorite!!

On my first card, I used a pigment ink and magenta embossing powder to stamp and heat emboss one of the ballerinas from the set on black card stock.

I then die cut the circle and arranged it over an A2, top folding card that I had covered in striped pattern paper.

To give the ballerina a bit of pop, I die cut and punched different sized circles out of pieces of pink pattern paper that I had in my scrap pile.

I stamped the sentiment, also from the "Tutu" set onto a white paper strip and then cut it up to disperse the sentiment over the front of the card.

On my second card, I decided to do a bit of coloring. I stamped one of the ballerinas from the set with black dye ink and used gel pens in pink and purple to color in the flowers in her skirt. Gel pens are great for these flowers as they can get in the small, tight spaces.

I then used glitter glue and Nuvo crystal drops for the middle of each flower. Doesn't the skirt almost look 3D?

I tied a piece of twine around the panel and adhered it to an A2 card base that I had covered in pink patterned paper. So simple!!

Here is a sneak peek of the complete stamp set:

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps August Stamp Reveal Day One-"Flower-case Alphabet"

Hello everyone!! I have been busy in my craft room over the last few weeks getting ready for this week. It is reveal week over at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog for the new stamps that will be in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store starting on Friday, August 4, 2017!!

Today I am showcasing a card I created with the "Flower-case Alphabet" stamp set. Now you can make any word you want!! I used the letters from this set to create a "hello" card.

I stamped the letters using a MISTI to line them up in a straight line and colored them in using Chameleon Markers.

I then used a mixture of Glossy Accents and Nuvo Crystal Drops for the middles of some of the flowers.

I finished off the card with a flower from the "Pretty Posies" set and a leaf from "Mon Ami."

Here is a photo of all the stamps included in the entire set. Isn't this set fun?

"Sassy Smiles" with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Today it is my turn for some inspiration for the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog.

I combined the "Sassy Smiles" stamp set with one of my FAVORITE Fri-Dies-"Linked" (now on the retirement list!!) for a super easy card.

My first step for this card was to use the "Linked Fri-Dies" to die cut the border. I then blended "Wilted Violet" Distress Ink in different shades across the border.

I took the remaining part of the white card base and did the smooshing technique with the same color ink. I set the card front aside to dry.

While the card front was drying, I used the "Smiling Fri-Dies" to die cut the smile sentiment out of a scrap of purple paper three times. I then glued these three layers together.

Once the card front was dry, I adhered the card front together with the border, using a scrap of acetate as a base.

I did a bit of masking and stamped "it's the one thing that always fits" from "Sassy Smiles" with black dye ink above the purple border. I then adhered the the die cut "smile" above the stamping.

I added some clear sequins around the sentiment and topped them off with silver Stickles. The last step was to apply Glossy Accents to the die cut word and border. I wish you could see this in real life because it is a cool effect.

A Second Card for CAS(E) this Sketch #228 with Nuvo Glitter Paste

Happy Saturday!! I hope you all are having fun!!

Just a quick drive by to post another card I finished last night for CAS(E) this Sketch #228. I posted my first card last night. I liked how it came out but when I was cleaning up my supplies, another idea just popped into my head and I had to execute it!!

I die cut a “Peacock Feather” from white card stock using an Elizabeth Craft die. I then COVERED the feather in "Emerald Green" Nuvo Glitter Paste. I was not sure how I was going to like this but let me tell you-it was SO MUCH FUN TO USE!!!! I used a palate knife to spread it on the delicate die cut and then used Stickles glitter glue for the gold and teal color in the middle of the feather.

While the feather dried, I used an MFT die to die cut the white card front. I then dripped Ranger Ink Distress Spray Stain in Peacock Feathers and Picket Fences over the top. You could not see the white from the Picket Fence Spray so I added some Heidi Swapp "Gold Lame” Color Shine to the mix. I dried it with a heat gun and adhered the misted panel to my favorite teal card stock that is now retired. I used Ranger Ink Multi-Matte to adhere the feather onto the card front.

I then die cut the "hugs" sentiment from my FAVORITE gold card stock EVER. It photographed very badly and I apologize for that. I HOARD this stuff because not only do I love the color gold that it is but it die cuts like butter.

I adhered this on the card and added a stamped sentiment from PTI's Big Hugs stamp set under it, using foam adhesive.

I am in love with how this came out and had a blast using the glitter paste. I had so much fun that I created another card using glitter paste with a stencil but will be posting that later in the week.

Again, I am entering this into CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #228.

Two cards for one challenge is a first for me!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

CAS(E) this Sketch #227

Happy Tuesday!! Busy day here. Had to go to the dentist today to get measured for a retainer. Who knew at 48 that my teeth would start moving and I would need worry about my teeth shifting back to a pre-braces spot. I feel like a teen again!!

I also had to bring Zack to the vet. He has not been himself as of late. We are no sooner outside on a walk when he starts panting and cannot keep up with us. (He has been trained to walk by our right side.) Zack also limps a little when he gets up.

He is at least 9 (not totally sure because he is a rescue dog) and I know things do get slower with age. I just don't like to see him like this. They gave him some antibiotics and hopefully these will help make him feel better.

Enough about life!!

Today I am sharing a card I created for CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #227. This came together quick because most of the supplies were right on my desk.

I started off by covering a white, A2, top folding card with a scrap of patterned paper. I then layered a rectangle I had embossed over the front, as per the sketch below.

Next I die cut three frames out of white card stock using My Favorite Things "Pierced Rectangle" frames dies. I adhered them together and placed them over the top of the embossed paper.

I then stamped a sentiment from My Favorite Things "Geometric Greenery" onto a white banner that I had die cut using MFTs "Fishtail Flags Frames" Die-namics. I added it to the card front using foam adhesive.

I adhered a white Simon Says Stamp "Tiny Tags" die cut that was on my desk over the flag and covered that with a Memory Box's "Rhone Butterfly Wings" that I had die cut for a previous project and never used.

To finish off the card, I covered the body and the wings of the butterfly with "Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Marker." I thought that the body melted in to the butterfly a bit too much so I then covered it with Diamond” Stickles.

That is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
