CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sneak Peek Day #3

Happy Friday!! So glad that it is almost the weekend!!

We are day number three for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sneak Peek. Tomorrow the new stamp sets will be available in the store.

Today I am showcasing the new CAS-ual Fridays "Franklyisms" and "Tag You're It" stamp sets.

For my first project, I used a sentiment from the "Tag You're It" set on a tag from the "Tag Buddies Fri-dies."

To start with, I used the middle tag from the "Tag Buddies" to die cut a tag out of white card stock. I then used gold pigment ink to stamp some flowers on the edge of the tag using stamps from yesterdays sneak peek. ("Flower Power" and "Peace Out")

Next I stamped the sentiment from "Tag You're It" in gold. I added gold embossing powder to the entire tag and used a heat gun to emboss the images.

My last step was to tie the tag onto a gold box that I bought from the craft store after Christmas. This was the easiest project but it looks like a million bucks!!

Here is a full sneak peek of the "Tag You're It" stamp set:

Aren't these so fun? I can see me making some really fun cards and tags with this set.

My second project I combined the "Franklyism" stamp set with the new "Full On Floral" stamp set that will be officially debuted tomorrow.

I started by stamping the "Full On Floral" in white pigment ink onto a piece of white card stock. I then heat embossed the image using white embossing powder. Next I blended distress ink in four colors over the florals, wiping the card stock with a dry paper towel at the end so the image would pop off the card.

I adhered this panel to a persimmon colored, A2, top folding card base. I added a strip of yellow card stock, as well as a strip of black to the left of stamped panel. I used a clear sparkle marker to add some shine to the black strip of card stock.

I stamped the sentiment from the "Franklyisms" stamp set onto a piece of vellum with white pigment ink and heat embossed it using white embossing powder. I added the square to the card front using some Washi tape.

Here is a sneak peek of the entire set:

I adore this set and will be using this to make birthday cards for my friends. We are of that age!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sneak Peek Day 2

Hello everyone!! Are you ready for another CAS-ual Fridays Stamps sneak peek? I know you are going to LOVE these two new stamps sets. I know I do!!

Today I am showcasing the new "Flower Power" and "Peace Out" stamp sets.

For my first card, I created a simple card using the "Flower Power" set.

To start off the card, I scored a 1/4" border around the edge of a piece of kraft card stock cut to a 4 1/4" by 5 1/2". I then stamped the word "love" using the "Flower Power" stamp set.

Next I did a bit of masking and stamped "i just" from yesterdays "Heartfelt Sayings" sneak peek set in black ink. I colored the little hearts above the letters with a red gel pen.

I mounted the panel onto a kraft, A2 sized card base. I then used foam adhesive to attach the "you" sentiment that I had stamped and heat embossed on black paper.

My last step was to adhere some red sequins to the card and use some red glitter glue in the center of the heart on the "o."

Here is a sneak peek of the whole set:

I plan to make bunch more of these to give away for Valentines day. It was such a fun and easy card to create!!

For my next card, I used the "Peace Out" stamp set and some Distress Ink smooshing to make a tie die card.

I stamped the "peace" sentiment from "Peace Out" with Versamark ink onto a piece of watercolor paper. I then heat embossed with fine white embossing powder.

Next I used four different shades of distress ink and swiped them over a piece of acetate in random areas. I spritzed water over the ink, picking up the acetate so the inks would drip into each other. I then placed the watercolor paper embossed side down and made sure the front was flat on the inked acetate so that the paper would pick up the ink. I LOVE how this came out. It really looks like a tie dye, which is the effect I was trying to get.

When the paper was dry, I adhered it over an A2 top folding card. My last step was to use some glitter glue randomly and in various colors over the middle of the flowers. I was in a hurry to photograph this and will say that the dots got smaller as they dried.

Here is a sneak peek of the full set:

Again, this set was so FUN to use and am going to try to create another tie dye card with the peace sign.

The "Flower Power" and the "Peace Out" stamp set will be available this Saturday, February 4, 2017 in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store. If you use my code nora2017 you can get 15% off your complete order!!

CAS-ual Fridays February Stamp Sneak Peek Day 1

Happy Hump Day!! I hope everyone is having a FABULOUS Wednesday.

What better way to celebrate the middle of the week with a sneak peek to the new release from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! Today I am sharing two projects I created with two new stamp sets-"Special Delivery" and "Heartfelt Sayings."

On my first card, I used the mailbox in "Special Delivery" as the main focus for my card. This mail box can be die cut with the previous released "Mailbox Fri-dies."

To start off my card I stamped the mailbox, the envelope and the the mailbox front again from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Special Delivery" set onto white card stock and colored the images in with Copic markers. I then added glitter glue and crystal drops in various colors over the middle of each flower on the mail box.

While these elements were was drying, I die cut two rectangles, one out of white card stock and one out of patterned paper. Over the card stock I lightly blended green and blue dye ink to create the illusion of grass and sky. I then stamped a sentiment from "Special Delivery" in black ink. I adhered both rectangles to a pink A2 top folding card. I tucked a pink circle under the inked panel.

It was time to die cut the mail box out that I had stamped and the little black flag. The mail box was a little too tall for my rectangle so I cut a bit off the bottom. I also used a craft knife to cut a slit in the left side of the mailbox front and slipped the stamped letter that I had fussy cut.

I adhered the black flag to the mailbox and added a rhinestone to give it a more shine. The last step was to pop up the lid of the mail box that I had created using foam adhesive. 

Here is a sneak peek of the whole set. Don't you just love the little hearts in the sentiments?

I had so much fun coloring and will be making another project with this mailbox soon.

For my second project, I combined the "Special Delivery" and the new "Heartfelt Sayings" stamp set. The sentiments in the "Heartfelt Sayings" stamp set have little hearts in them too!

I began the card by stamping the envelope from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Special Delivery" set repeatedly onto a piece of white card stock with black dye ink. To make the envelopes look as if they were overlapping, I did a bit of masking. Next I stamped some little hearts randomly around the front.

I stamped the sentiment using the "Heartfelt Sayings" set and used my Copic markers to color everything in. I went over the hearts with a clear sparkle pen and then added some Glossy Accents over the top to give all the hearts a little more oomph.

Once the card front dried, I used a double cut frame to die cut it. I adhered the outside of the frame to a white A2 sized, top folding card.

I then used foam adhesive to the middle panel and placed it into the frame. I love the dimension it gives the card.

I have to say that this is my FAVORITE card that I created for this whole release and will be doing some others with the "Heartfelt Sayings" sentiment set.

The stamps will be in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp store starting on Saturday, February 4, 2017. Please use my code nora2017 to get a 15% discount on your total order.

Birthday Inspiration with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hello everybody. Happy Saturday!! Oh boy do I love the weekend!

Today it is my turn for inspiration on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog. This month CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog is going pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is also CAS-ual Fridays birthday. In honor of this birthday, I created a birthday card.

I started off this card by using the largest die from the "Tag Buddies" Fri-dies to die cut a white tag. I then misted the tag with green and pink mist spray. I stamped borders from "Holly Jolly Borders" in black and colored them in with Copic Markers. After the borders were dry, I adhered them to the tag.

I then used foam adhesive to adhere black strips on the tag that I had stamped with CAS-ual Fridays "Shenanigans" set and embossed in white.

I set this aside decided to try to ink blend on a piece of colored card stock with two different pink Distress Inks. It was not as easy to do as on a piece of white Bristol but it was kind of fun to try.

I used foam behind the tag when I adhered it to the card. I then sprinkled silver stars that I had cut with the "Fun-Fetti" Fri-dies. My last step was to adhere sequins in pink around the stars, adding some Stickles over the top.

Well that is all from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by and remember to use my code for some shopping fun at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store. Have a wonderful day!!

Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #17

Happy September 1st!!! As this is a scheduled post, I am back to work and I wish it was still summer!!! I am such a homebody and just love to be home cleaning, doing laundry, being in my craft room-does not matter what endeavor I choose, I just like to nest.

Today I am sharing my card that I created for Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #17.

I chose to use the top row across-window card, critter and sequins. This was a really hard choice, though, because I could have done all of them!!

Here is my card:

The jumping off point for this card was the "critter." I had all the elements stamped, die cut and colored from My Favorite Things "Hog Heaven" set on my desk just waiting for me to use.

I die cut a square using My Favorite Things "Inside Out Stitched Rounded Square Stax" out of the front of a white, top folding, A2 sized card, as well as a piece of white card stock for the inside of my card that measured 5 1/2 by 4 1/4". Then I started to put my card together.

First, I shaded some "Twisted Citron" Distress Ink around the bottom of the square cut outs for both the inside and outside of the card.

I thought it looked a little flat so blended some "Mowed Lawn" Distress Ink over the top, making the darkest part of this darker green around the frame.

For the "sky," I used "Tumbled Glass" Distress Ink to shade some blue over the top part of the frame. I did the same for the inside piece as well.

I then cut a piece of acetate for a "window" and adhered it to the back of the front panel. I then adhered the shaded, white panel over the top.

Next, I used a sentiment from the "Hog Heaven" stamp set and some PTI "Smokey Shadow" ink and stamped it on the front of the card.

I then adhered all my colored images that I had on my desk into a little scene. I used foam adhesive for the pig head and the flowers to give them a bit of dimension.

Isn't he cute? I almost made him a girl but decided that this particular pig looked like a boy.

This is what the inside looks like. The fence is a mirror image and the stamp set has the back of the pig so I thought this was too cute not to use.

My last step was to adhere some "sequins" onto the front of the card, as well as use some "Diamond" Stickles.

It all came together rather quickly, which is rare for me!! Please hop on over to Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge Blog to join us. I cannot wait to see what YOU create!

Toodles!
