Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Winter Release

 Hello everyone!! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend.

Today I am popping in with two cards I created using the newly released CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stencils-Chunky Chevron and Bubbles.

On my first card, I decided to just use the Bubbly stencil in a traditional way.

I used Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers, Crackling Campfire and Rusty Hinge with the stencil and blended the ink across a white A2 card base. I die cut the panel down using a rectangle die. 

Next I stamped "celebrate" from the Sassy Celebrations stamp set with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink. 

I heat embossed the "celebrate" using WOW! Bang embossing powder. I love the texture of this embossing powder and think it draws the eye to the sentiment, which is what I wanted. I then layered the panel over an A2 sized, Peacock Blue card front. My last step was to use some glitter accents randomly in some of the bubbles. 

Below is a peek at the new stencils being released:

For my second card I used the Chunky Chevron stencil to do a mixed media card front. 

I used a heavy weight white cardstock as my background panel. I needed a heavier weight paper because I used the stencil with Peacock Feathers and Crackling Campfire Distress Spray Stain, and some Peacock Feathers Oxide Distress Spray.

I made my own red colored cardstock by inking white cardstock with Crackling Campfire Distress Ink. I cut it into strips and adhered it to the card front. I then adhered "happy" that I had die cut using the Happy Hanukkah Fri-die.

I added a birthday banner that I had masked and stamped from the Everyday Dragonflies stamp set. 

To finish the card, I wrapped some teal twine at the top of the card. 

These stencils, as well as the rest of the release, is available now in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store. Don't forget to use my code NORASENTME 15% off your total order!!!

Day 1 CAS-ual Fridays Winter Mini-Release!

 Hello everyone!! Happy New Year's eve!! 

Today I am popping in with a NEW MINI RELEASE from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. This new release is all about celebrations and is on sale now in the NEW section of the store. 

Today the design team is giving you a peek at some projects created with the new Pop, Fizz, Clink stamp set and Champagne Flute Die.

I started off my card above by using a new stencil, Bubbly Stencil, and  Luna Paste on black cardstock. While that was drying, I stamped the flutes using the new Pop, Fizz, Clink stamp and heat embossed with WOW! Superfine Sliver embossing powder.

I die cut the flutes using the Champagne Flute die and adhered these on the front of the card. I then stamped, masked and heat embossed in silver the sentiment in the bottom right corner.

To finish off the card, I added some silver Stickles inside the little bubbles on the flutes. This was SO FUN to create and I LOVE how it came out. Doesn't it scream celebration??? Below is a peek at the stamp and die set.

 

For my second card, I wanted to primarily use dies.

I die cut a white panel using the Pinked Slimline dies. I then stamped the sentiment from the Pop, Fizz, Clink stamp set with WOW! Opaque Superfine embossing powder. I then did some sloppy blending of pink around the entire card. I was sloppy on purpose because I didn't want a TON of ink on my card. I layered this panel over a piece of pink vellum die cut with the Pinked Slimline die that was already adhered to a slimline cardfront. 

I die cut the champagne flutes from pink glitter paper and pink vellum with the new Champagne Flute dies and adhered these together. I adhered some of the negative pieces of the die cut across the top of the card.

My last step was to adhere the completed flutes to the front of the card. This card was SO EASY to make but looks like it took a ton of time.
