A New Post for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

 Happy Wednesday!! I have been MIA as of late due to exhaustion from my job. I have 19 more days of school until we break for summer but who is counting!!! This has been a long year and I will be happy to see it end. I have been in school since August and I do not have much patience left in me to prod the students to complete their assignments. They are over this year too. 

Today I am over at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog with a simple birthday card. Use the link to see how I created my card. Below is a sneak peek:

I received a new free stamp set from Altenew today. I was so excited as my day was a little rough.

It is always fun to get a little envelope filled with something in the mail!!! I am hoping that I can use this set tonight to create a card.

On another note, I was able to go to the nursery this past weekend and got a bunch of different annuls and a couple perennials to plant in my gardens. 


I spent Mother's Day afternoon planting them in various places. I have to admit that I do not have a green thumb but I try!! I did not take any after photos as I didn't use gloves and my hands were a MESS. Am I the only one who likes the feel of getting dirt on their hands from gardening?

I still have to plant my veggies but need to figure out a plan because my dogs LOVE to dig in my veggie garden. 

Well, that is all from me today. Perhaps I will post again later this week as I have been making cards but just not posting on my blog. Do not forget to hop on over to my post on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

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!!

While supplies last, if you spend $25, you will get a Hello Freebie set, no code needed!!! Be sure to check out the other fabulous projects on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog created by the Design Team. 

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. I hope you all have a FABULOUS day!!!

Day 2 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps April 2021 Release: Introducing Flower Duos

Hello everyone!! I hope you are enjoying your Saturday!!!

Today I am popping in with a card I created for the April 2021 CAS-Fridays release of Flower Duos. It includes the stamps and dies together!! 

I started off this card by splattering some brown and pewter Distress Stain across a white card front and a tag I created with the Tag Buddies Dies. These dies are being retired and are ON SALE NOW!!! I let the tag dry and then partially blended the tag with some blue Distress Ink.  I added some purple twine to the top of the tag and adhered it using foam adhesive. 

I then stamped the flowers and leaves using the new Flower Duo stamp and die set.

I used ink to watercolor the flowers and leaves. When these were dry, I adhered the botanicals over the top of the tag.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set onto a small strip of cardstock and used foam adhesive to adhere it onto my card. I then used some Nuvo Crystal Drops to create my flower centers.

This new stamp set, as well as all the other new sets are in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp store NOW in the NEW section. Be sure to use my code, NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order, including sale items!!!


As a bonus, while supplies last, spend $25 and you will get a Hello Freebie stamp set, no code needed!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Be sure to hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see some other beautiful cards created with this new set.

Day 1 of CAS-ual Fridays April 2021 Release: Introducing the Hello Freebie Set on Cards Using Scraps

Happy Fridays everyone!! I am so excited that the week is OVER!! It has been a looonnng week and I need a break. 

Today I am popping in with two cards I created for the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release using the Hello Freebie stamp set (while supplies last). Who doesn't like a free stamp set? Just spend $25 in the CAS-Fridays Shop and receive a stamp set for FREE-NO CODE NEEDED!!!

For my first cards, I decided to use some scraps with the Hello Freebie.

I cut different sizes of green strips and layered it in a pattern over the front of my card. 

I stamped the "hello" with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink onto a neutral pattern paper and heat embossed it with WOW! Pale Gold embossing powder.  I then fussy cut the embossed sentiment out.

I added the "hello" onto the top of a pinked circle that was die cut using the Pinked Slimline Dies and stamped with a matching sentiment from the freebie set.

My second card is simple and inspired by a book cover. 


I covered a top folding, A2 card front with torn, yellow paper that I had distressed with brown ink. 


I then stamped three sentiments from the Hello Freebie set with brown ink in a random fashion. I stamped the "hello" from the set the same but then covered it with Glossy Accents to give it some shine.


This was SO EASY and fun to make. I think I will be making a few more in different colors!!! Below is a peek at the Hello Freebie set.

Hop on over to CAS-ual Fridays and shop to treat yourself. You can use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your TOTAL order and this includes sale items!!!

Day 3 of the CAS=ual Fridays March 2021 Release

 Happy Thursday!! I cannot believe the week is almost over but I am glad that it is!!

Today I am on the blog with Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March 2021 release. I created a card using the new Love Notes stamp set and Heart Notes die bundle. 

I started off this card by stamping a white, A2, top folding card with the music from the Love Notes stamp set. I then used foam adhesive to adhere a piece of pattered cardstock over the top.

Next I die cut three music notes from cardstock using the Heart Notes bundle. I tried to use paper that matched the stripes from the background. I adhered these music notes so that they were overlapping each other. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Love Notes set in green and then fussy cut it out. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using foam adhesive. My last step was to randomly adhere some jewels around the notes and I was done. 

This new stamp and die set, as well as all the other products, are available in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store under the NEW section right now!!! Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order!!!
