New Years Eve with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

 Hello my friends!! It is the eve of 2022 and I am so happy to say good bye to 2021. I am ready for a reset!!! How about you?

Today I am on the blog with a card for CAS-Fridays Stamps. I used the Champagne Flute Dies and the Pop Fizz Clink stamp set to create this festive card.

The background heat embossed but I did a little trick. I used the Bubbly Stencil and did a direct to paper method with the Versamark Ink through the stencil. I then used gold embossing powder on top of that. I knew if I did this technique with this glitter embossing powder, it would not be perfect but I like how it came out. 

All this gold made the card really difficult to photograph too!!

As a bonus, we are also blogging about our favorite card we created for the CAS-Fridays Design Team. 

This was my favorite card that I created all year. I was able to get MESSY and used techniques that I haven't used in years. I also LOVE the colors. Here is the link to my original BLOG POST to see how I created this card.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hello everyone!! 

This is my second post for the day for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Fall/Winter 2021. I created a card using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Coffee Products. 

I created my background by blending Antique Linen Distress Ink and misting with Old Paper and Antique Linen Distress Stain. 

I then stenciled over the top with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using the CAS-Fridays By the Beans Stencil. I stamped the sentiment using the CAS-Fridays Cup of Coffee stamp set and brown dye ink. 

I adhered a teal die cut coffee cup die cut using the CFS Coffee Cup Die. I added some Glossy Accents over the brown "coffee" in the cup.

Final Day of the CAS-ual Fridays July 2021 Release-Falling Leaves Stencil

 Hello Crafty Friends!! This is my second post for today. My first post with the NEW Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #524 is HERE.

I am popping in to show you the card I created with the CAS-Fridays NEW *Falling Leaves Stencil. I actually bit the bullet and made a shaker card-something that is SO NOT ME!!!

I started off this card by using the *Falling Leaves Stencil with Altenew *Seashore Mini Ink Cubes, creating an ombre effect with the leaves. I chose to make them lighter on top and the darkest on the bottom. I die cut the panel with a rectangle die and created my shaker card. (I am not going to do a tutorial on how I did the actual shaker. Here is a good link to show you how it is done.)

I adhered the shaker onto an A2, top folding card front that was the same color as the ink. I used the CAS-Fridays *WTF2 stamp set to stamp two of the sentiments onto white card strips. I adhered both of the sentiments across the top.

I covered the "Who totally forgot?" with a *Clear Sparkle Marker and *Glossy Accents. My last step was to adhere three sequins from the shaker mix around my sentiment block and my card was DONE!

I adore how this came out and have some future ideas on how I am going to use this stencil!!

The *Falling Leaves Stencil, as well as the whole release is available in the *NEW section of the CAS-aul Fridays Shop. Please use my code, NORASENTME, to get an extra 15% off your total order!!!

Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays 2021 July Release-Partly Cloudy Stencil

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I am popping in today with a simple card that I created using the new CAS-ual Fridays *Partly Cloudy Stencil. I am going to admit that this is my favorite stencil from the release!!!

I started off this card by stenciling the sun from the *Partly Cloudy Stencil using *Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink. 

I then went over the stencil with *Mustard Seed Distress Ink.

The last ink I blended over the top of the sun stencil was Wild Honey Distress Ink. 

To get the blend that I wanted, I then went over the sun again with each ink I used but in reverse order, starting with Mustard Seed and ending with the Wild Honey. When this was dry, I used Hero Arts *Soft Sky dye ink and the edges of the Partly Cloudy Stencil to create the clouds. 

I rotated the stencil edges, using one, flipping the stencil, and then using the new edge, all the way down my paper so that all my clouds were just a tiny bit different.

When this was complete, I cut the panel into a square and distressed the edges. I adhered the square on a top folding, Kraft, A2 card base that I had already placed two square pieces of distressed pattern paper.

I covered the sun with a *Clear Glitter Marker and adhered two, small clouds that were die cut using the *Raindrops Duo dies.

My last step was to adhere a sentiment that I had masked and stamped using the *Supercalifragilistic Stamp set and my card was complete. I LOVE how this card came out and it was so simple to create!!!

The *Partly Cloudy Stencil, as well as the whole release is available now in the *NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Shop. Use my code, NORASENTME, to get an extra 15% off your total order, including sale items!!

Birthday Wishes

 Happy Friday everyone!! 

I am popping in today with a card I created for some challenges. I have had some time now that I am off and have been having a TON of fun making cards for challenges!!

I made this cards using this weeks Global Design Projects Challenge #296. I am also entering these cards into the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge WWC318: Kath's All About Occasions and Seize the Birthday #216-no topping.

I had a ton of fun using the CAS-Fridays Flowery Background stamp to start off my cards. I then cut the panel into two different rectangles so I could make two cards. I have been trying to do more of this!!! 

On my first panel, I used a PTI die, black cardstock and heat embossed my sentiment that I stamped using WPlus9 the That is All stamp set. This was inspired by the photo from the Global Design Project.

I added some rainbow striped cardstock from Honeybee Stamps Over the Rainbow paper pad and a vellum butterfly that I die cut using Altenew Mix and Match Mariposa Butterfly die set. I used Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin to shade the vellum butterfly. 

For my second card, I used most of the same products as the first but added a die cut flower that was cut using the My Favorite Things Stitched Flower Die-namics, a stem from the MFT Stitched Blooms Die-namics and some red twine. 

I added some yellow enamel dots as accents. I LOVE how these cards came out and they were so easy to make!! I also was able to use some supplies that I had forever but have not used yet. I have been a HUGE collector and I am trying not to buy this summer. HOWEVER, last week was a bad week and I ordered a TON of things I do not need!!!

Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a GREAT night!
