On the Blog with CAS-Fridays Stamps

Happy June!! It is weird to write that as May went by so FAST. I am not complaining though. I am looking forward to some time off this summer!

Today I am on the blog over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps with a festive card just in time for those hot summer nights.

I tried my hand at coloring with pencils on kraft cardstock. Hop on over to MY POST to see how I created this card. 

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

A CAS-ual Fridays Release Day 1-Slimline Pinked Fri-dies

Hello everyone!! 

Today I am sharing some cards I created with the NEW CAS-ual Fridays Slimline Pinked Fri-dies! I am so excited because this set was a collaboration between me and Michele, the owner of CAS-ual Fridays. This set has a TON of different dies to it and is so versatile. Below are just three cards I created with it but I know I will be using this set for a lot of new cards in my future!!

The first card I created, I used both of the banner dies to create a really simple card.

This card literally took me minutes to make!! I found scraps of pattern paper in a rainbow of colors and used the banner die in the set to cut them out. 

The banner was not quite bit enough to give me the length I wanted so I die cut a second banner out, adhered it to the top of the card and then cut the rest off. 

The black piece of cardstock is hiding the little space in between the two sets of banners!!! The sentiment is a sneak peek of one of the new sets that will be showcased tomorrow. Below is a peek at the Fri-die set.

My second card I created a slimline shaker card using the smallest scallop circle, the smallest stitched circle, the large stitched rectangle and the leaves from the Garden Fri-dies to create a trio of sunflowers. 

I die cut the large rectangle and used a cloud stencil for the background. 

Next I die cut circles out of the front using the small stitched circle and blended Walnut Stain ink over the top. I then used the Tin Roof Stencil with Espresso ink to create the sunflower center. 

I used the smallest scallop circle from the set to create the "flower" part of the sunflower. 

I adore how this card came out and have an idea for a slightly different sunflower card for a future post on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog. 

My last card is NOT my favorite and I almost did not post it. I ruined it by using Glossy Accents over the top of the sentiment so it changed a different color. The "way to go" banner is crooked too but is stuck down so securely that I could not fix it. This is what happens when you are running on no sleep and are up late making cards!!! That said, I have decided to use it because over all, I do like my original design.

For this card, I used the star dies over a background that I had blended two different types of blue inks. I tucked a banner die cut and a small scallop circle underneath the card front to give it a fun feel.

The die cut sentiment and stamped sentiment are a sneak peek of a future set that will be released later on in the week as well.

Now for the fun part...I am offering a giveaway from MY BLOG of the new Slimline Pinked Fri-dies!!! I will be picking the winner from the comments on this post. You have until Saturday, October 3, 2020 to comment and I will pick a winner on Sunday, October 4, 2020.

A Birthday Card for a Couple of Challenges

Hello everyone!! Just popping in today to show you a super quick card I created using pattern paper and a couple CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. I am not on the blog or anything, just using some odds and ends to get things done.

The inspiration for my card was the sketch #166 from the Global Design Project.

I have needed birthday cards up the wazoo this month so this was a fabulous sketch to use for my card.

I started off by layering a pattern paper scrap over a teal card base. The paper is from Scenic Route-a company that is no longer around. I have been attempting to use pattern paper more on my cards as I have a TON and it can really make a card easier to make.

Over the pattern paper, I added some embossed paper that Michele Ferguson had sent me eons ago.

I used an old PTI die to create the orange border and stamped the sentient with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink using the Whole Shebang stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

The orange present was stamped awhile ago with CAS-Fridays Partridge in a Pear Tree and fussy cut out. I had colored it in with Copics and added some Nuvo Ripened Pumpkin Crystal Dots for some interest. I popped it up on the card using adhesive foam.

This whole card took me about ten minutes to complete because I used the patterned paper and only really had to stamp the sentiment. Everything else was scraps or in my stash.

Just wanted to let you know that CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is having a retirement sale going on right now.

There are some FABULOUS sets still available. Hop on over and snap them up before they are gone!!

I am also entering this card into the Seize the Birthday Challenge-no toppings.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS night!!

The Last Day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday Release: Pear Tree Fri-Dies

It has been a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG week here and am so happy that it is Friday!!!

Today is the last day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps holiday release showcase. I created a card using the previously released Partridge in a Pear Tree Stamp Set.

I started off this card by stamping a sentiment in from the Partridge in a Pear Tree stamp set onto an aqua A2 card front. I added a piece of patterned paper over the front.

I then wrapped some jute around the front of the card three times. I adhered a snowflake that I had die cut using the Flurry Fri-Dies over the jute.

Next I stamped the little bird from the Partridge stamp set and die cut it out using the new Pear Tree Fri-Dies. I used foam adhesive to pop it over a branch I free hand cut with some scissors. I covered the bird with clear sparkle marker and Glossy Accents.

My last step was to adhere a couple of pears cut using the Pear Tree dies over the branch.

I think this is my favorite card from the whole week!! I love how the little bird came out and the pears are darling!!

Day 5 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday Release: Naughty'isms Stamp Set and matching Naughty Fri-Dies

Happy Thursday everyone!! I hope you all are recovered from Halloween. Are you in a candy coma like me? I always eat too much but then cannot wait to get rid of it all by the next day.

Today I am back with another project using the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Naughty'isms stamp set and matching Naughty Fri-Dies.

I started off my card by stamping the present from the new Naughty'isms stamp set in red and kraft ink across the front of a kraft colored, A2 card.

I then layered green and red patterned paper over the card front. I used the Naughty Fri-Dies to die cut the sentiment and adhered it on top of the red patterned paper. I covered the sentiment with clear sparkle marker.

I stamped the present again on to various patterned papers. I fussy cut pieces out of each and then paper pieced the present together. To complete the card, I adhered the package to the card front.

That is it for me today. Be sure to stop by the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see some other fabulous creations by the design team. All new products are now in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your entire purchase!!

Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday Release: Mistletoe Fri-Dies

Hello everyone!!

Today is day three of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps holiday release. I am showcasing the new Mistletoe Fri-dies. I am so excited because they match the previously released Mistletoe and Holly Stamp set!!

To start off my card, I lightly blended teal ink onto a white piece of cardstock. I then used white paint and splashed it across the front. After the paint dried, I added a sentiment, also in teal, from the Mistletoe and Holly stamp set.

I mounted the white card front onto an A2, top folding teal card.

Next I stamped and die cut the mistletoe and matching bow with the new Mistletoe Fri-Dies. I colored the image in with Copic markers and used Tonic Nuvo Crystal Drops in white for the little berries.

I adhered the mistletoe to the card front using foam adhesive. I then added the bow on top, also popping it up with foam adhesive.

I LOVE how this card came out and will be making a few more of these cards to send out this year!!
