Day 4 of the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release: Introducing Flowery Background

Happy Monday!! I hope you are all having a good morning. 

Today is the last day of the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release. I created two cards using the new Flowery Background stamp. 

On my first card, I heat embossed the new background stamp and used the ink smooshing technique to get some color onto my card front.

I used both Distress and Distress Oxide in green and pink on watercolor paper to get the effect I wanted. Once it was dry, I die cut it twice using a rectangle die. I then adhered it to a pink, top folding, A2 card base. 

I off set both panels so that the pink of the card base was peeking out between the two rectangles.

I stamped the sentiment using the new Big Thanks Duo set. I first used a pink dye ink, then re-stamped the "thanks" with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink, and heat embossed it with TWO layers of WOW! Clear Embossing Powder. 

To give the sentiment some pop, I adhered it using foam adhesive.

On my second card, I kept it simple.

I stamped the Flowery Background with black ink onto a piece of white cardstock and splashed pink Distress Stain across the front. Once the panel dried, I cut it down and adhered it to a white, top folding, A2 card base. 

I added an embossed sentiment and some leaves from the new Flower Duo set. 

My last step was to use some Glossy Accents over some of the areas on the leaves.

Day 3 of the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release: Introducing Big Thanks Duo

Hello everyone!! Today I am popping in with a card I created for the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release. I made a simple card using the new Big Thanks Duo. This new set includes the stamps and the dies together.

I started off this card by using the Swirls Stencil with blue Stickles. This was an experiment and I LOVE how it came out!!

While the white panel was drying, I stamped and die cut the "thanks" using the new Big Thanks Duo set.

I made an ombre effect on the sentiment using different colors of blue ink. I started with light blue on the "s" and used darker shades as I went down the stamp toward the "t."

I layered the stenciled panel over a blue card base and then stamped another sentiment from the Big Thanks Duo set onto the card front. I adhered the thanks using foam adhesive. 

This stamp set, as well as all the other new stamp sets, are available NOW in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Shop. Just check out the NEW section. Be sure to use my code, NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your TOTAL order!!
