The Last Day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday Release: Pear Tree Fri-Dies

It has been a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG week here and am so happy that it is Friday!!!

Today is the last day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps holiday release showcase. I created a card using the previously released Partridge in a Pear Tree Stamp Set.

I started off this card by stamping a sentiment in from the Partridge in a Pear Tree stamp set onto an aqua A2 card front. I added a piece of patterned paper over the front.

I then wrapped some jute around the front of the card three times. I adhered a snowflake that I had die cut using the Flurry Fri-Dies over the jute.

Next I stamped the little bird from the Partridge stamp set and die cut it out using the new Pear Tree Fri-Dies. I used foam adhesive to pop it over a branch I free hand cut with some scissors. I covered the bird with clear sparkle marker and Glossy Accents.

My last step was to adhere a couple of pears cut using the Pear Tree dies over the branch.

I think this is my favorite card from the whole week!! I love how the little bird came out and the pears are darling!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Christmas in July Release Party Day 4

It is time for another sneak peek from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release. All new stamps will be available in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store this Saturday, July 16, 2016.

Today I am showcasing the new "Sleighride" stamp set and the matching "Sleigh" Fri-dies.

 

I created a card simple card using both of these products.

I started off this card by stamping the sentiment from the "Sleighride" set in olive green on to a white piece of card stock. I then cut it out to create snowbanks. I layered the snowbanks over a white A2 card that I had prepared with a white embossed background.

Next I adhered the sleigh that I had stamped from the "Sleighride" set, colored in with Copic markers and die cut with the "Sleigh" Fri-dies. I then tucked in presents that I had stamped on patterned paper with the new"Partridge in a Pear Tree" set from yesterdays sneak peek.

The last step was to cover the sleigh with clear Wink of Stella and adhere some holly, also stamped using the same set, with foam adhesive.

CAS-ual Friday Stamps Christmas in July Release Day 3

Hello everyone!! It is Tuesday in blog land and I am here with some more new sneak peeks for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. All stamp sets shown here will be available this Saturday, July 16, 2016 in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store. How exciting is that?

My first two cards were created with the new stamp set "Partridge in a Pear Tree."

I started off this card by stamping the large image with Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock. I then colored the image in using Copic markers. Next I covered the leaves, the bird and the bow with clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle. To make the pears stand out, I gave them a coat of Glossy Accents. I also used some Glossy Accents over the bow.

While that was drying, I layered pieces of patterned paper and card stock scraps over a top folding, Teal A2 card front. I also stamped the sentiment, also from "Partridge in a Pear Tree" in teal dye ink on a strip of white card stock.

I then layered the stamped piece over the card base using adhesive foam. The last step was to adhere the sentiment strip on top of the card.

For my second card, I combined the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Shenanigans" birthday set with "Partridge in a Pear Tree" to make a very simple birthday card.

I first stamped the present from the bottom part of the tree from the "Partridge in a Pear Tree" stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink onto white card stock. I colored in the present with Copic markers and went over it with clear Wink of Stella. To give it a bit of dimension, I used Glossy Accents over the bow and Nuvo Gloss White Crystal Drops to make the white stripes.

While the present was drying, I stamped the "celebrate" sentiment from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Shenanigans" in teal dye ink onto a ready made scalloped card front. 

When the present was dry, I fussy cut it out and then adhered it to the card front with foam adhesive. My last step was to pull it all together with a trio of pink sequins. 

My last card uses the new "Starlequin" stamp set that I combined with two other new CAS-ual Friday stamp sets-"Holly Jolly Borders" and "Mistletoe & Holly" that will be introduced further on in this release. 

I started off this card stamping a strip of kraft card stock in black with the "Starlequin" border stamp set. I then stamped a the sentiment from "Mistletoe & Holly" using a masking technique.

I adhered borders that I had stamped, colored in and cut out from the "Holly Jolly Borders" set above and below the "Starlequin" border. I then added a bit of shine with some clear Wink of Stella and blended a bit of Vintage Photo Distress ink on the edge of the entire strip. 

To complete the card, I layered the decorated kraft strip over a card front that I created using a piece of patterned paper and Distress ink. 

Aren't these new stamp sets amazing? I love that you can combine them with other sets to get some fun looks!!
