Day 2 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday Release: Dashing Stamps and Snow Fri-Dies

Happy Monday!!

Today I am here to showcase CAS-ual Fridays Stamps new Dashing Stamps and Snow Fri-Dies.

I started off by randomly stamping snowflakes from the new Dashing Stamps in teal across the front of a white piece of cardstock. I then stamped the hearts from the Calm and Loving Stamp Set in red.

Using the same teal ink as the snowflakes,  I stamped part of the sentiment above the snow. I mounted the stamped cardstock onto an A2 sized card that was covered in teal patterned paper.

I die cut the "snow" sentiment using the new Snow Fri-dies and adhered it onto the front of the card. I covered the word with a clear sparkle pen and some Glossy Accents so it would stand out from the white background.

My last step was to adhere some light teal pearls across the front.

Day 1 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday Release: Big Hope Fri-Die

Hello everyone!! I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend. It has been quiet here on the blog. I have been away for the last two weekends and have done nothing in my craft room.

Today is the first day of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday release.

Today I am showcasing the Big Hope Fri-Die. I created a card all in purple.

I started off by adding a patterned paper strip to a light purple card front.

I then added five circles across the front and adhered a heart using foam adhesive that I punched out of glitter paper.

My last step was to adhere the new Big Hope Fri-die to the front of the card.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps 2018 August Release: Nate and Friday

Hello everyone!! 

Today I am showcasing a card I created using the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Nate and Friday" stamp set.

To start off my card, I masked the white A2 card base and used Distress Ink to make red stripes. I then stamped the little paw print in black from the "Nate and Friday" stamp set for a cute border.

Next I masked off the dog stamp and stamped the heart in red. I masked off the heart and stamped the dog with black ink. I used the sentiment from the set and stamped it below the dog in red.

I then used a rectangle to die cut around the dog and adhered him to the card front. My last step was to use foam adhesive to adhere a black frame around the dog and used a bit of Glossy Accent on the heart for a little shine.

Here is a sneak peek of the whole stamp set:

An Encouragement Card Preview and a Catch Up on my Life

Hi everyone!! Long time no see. It has been CRAZY in my household. Charlotte graduated last week and I have been busy since then trying to get ready for her graduation party that we gave her yesterday. I am NOT an entertainer so having tons of people over stresses me OUT. I will post photos at a later date.

Today I am over on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog featuring an encouragement card. My friend's mother is going through a rough time with radiation and chemo and I wanted to make her a special card. Here is a sneak peek and a photo step-by-step is over at the blog.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I will be back this week with some more projects and photos of my life!!!

Have a FABULOUS Sunday!!

Sunday Tea with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Today I am on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog with a card that I combined three CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stamp sets.

I hand stamped a sentiment from "Heartfelt Sayings" in blue onto a piece of blue patterned paper and adhered it to a white A2 card front. Next I adhered a banner over that.

I die cut a tea cup and a tea pot using the CAS-ual Fridays "Teapot Fri-dies" and shaded them in with Copic Markers. I then stamped flowers and leaves from the "Peace and Comfort" stamp set on each of them.

I adhered the teapot and teacup over the banner.

What would my card be with out using the "Fun-Fetti Fri-die?" I adhered three die cut hearts on my card, covered them with a glitter pen and topped them off with Glossy Accents.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Bomb Diggity" Sneak Peek

Hello, hello!!

I am popping in today to give you another sneak peek to a new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stamp set. The Ink Squad and I are using the new set "Bomb Diggity" to make some fun projects that will be available October 21, 2017 in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store!

I created a simple card using the "You are Fabulous" sentiments from the set and mixed them with color burst pigment for a simple card.

I started off by stamping and heat embossing the sentiment from "Bomb Diggity" onto an A2 sized white piece of card stock, using white embossing powder.


I then misted the panel with water and added some color burst pigment in ultramarine blue and lime green, misting and adding more powder until I got the look I wanted.

I blotted off some of the water and then used a heat gun to dry it.

Next I cut the decorated panel into a 4" by 5 1/4" piece and adhered it to a top folding, white, A2 sized card base. I then added sequins and little gems in the background colors around the sentiment for more focus.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Fall Release Featuring the "WTF 2" Stamp Set

Happy Hump Day!!! I hope you are all having a FABULOUS week.

Today is the first day of the sneak peek for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps new fall release!! The design team and I are making projects with the new stamp set "WTF 2," which will be available for sale on Saturday, October 21, 2017.

When I received this set, I LOVED it for one reason and my card below explains it all:

I am the QUEEN of forgetting birthdays. It is horrible because a lot of the time I actually make the cards ahead of time and never send them out. How bad is that? I have decided I am just going to make belated birthday cards in the first place so I will be all set! This set is PERFECT for this!!

I started off this card by creating a balloon using Oxide Distress Ink and a reverse die cut circle. I used an ink distress tool to sponge the ink onto white card stock. I adhered the white panel onto an A2 sized, gray card base. Next I added a piece of black twine for the balloon string.

Using the new "WTF 2" stamp set,  I stamped the the "who totally forgot" onto a white paper strip using black ink and adhered it to the card front with foam adhesive.

I stamped the "WTF" with black ink onto white card stock and used Copic Markers in cool grays to color it in. I popped it up over the balloon and the white sentiment strip using foam adhesive.

The last step was to add color over the sentiment with a sparkle pen and some mustard Nuvo drops to give it emphasis.  Easy peasy and oh so fun!!
