CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release Day 3-"Joy"

Happy Friday!! It has been a LOOOONNNGGG week for me and I am happy it is over. However, I am excited to be bringing you another sneak peek for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps new stamp release on Saturday, October 21, 2017.

Today the Ink Squad is showcasing the new "Joy" stamp set.

I chose to create a card using the "joy" sentiment and two of the small snowflakes.

I started off by misting a white panel with some silver and blue mist. When it was dry, I stamped the small snowflakes in Persian blue. I then adhered the panel over two strips of card stock that I had stamped in the same blue using the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Starlequin" stamp set and adhered the whole panel onto an A2, white card base.

Next I stamped the sentiment with a dusty blue ink. I covered the whole sentiment with sparkle pen and then used Nuvo drops in white to decorate the snowflake.

When everything was dry, I cut the sentiment out by hand and then adhered it to the card front. I added some silver sequins with some silver glitter glue and it was finished. So easy and I LOVE how it came out!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Inspiration

Hello everyone!! It is Saturday here and I am so happy that the weekend is here. Even though I had a week off last week, it seems like I never had a vacation.

Today it is my turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog for some inspiration. I created a gate fold card-the first one I have ever made!

I started off by taking an 8 1/2" by 4 1/4" sheet of yellow card stock and scoring it on each end at 2 1/8." I then stamped the border from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Starlequin" in red dye ink.

Next I adhered two pre-made Kraft colored doilies on each side. I folded them directly down the middle and adhere them inside and outside the card.

I had watercolored two flowers in red from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Mon Ami" set and used the matching dies to cut them out. I then adhered them to the front using foam adhesive. The large tulip tucks underneath the smaller tulip to keep the card closed. I adhered the sentiment banner, again stamped with a sentiment from "Mon Ami," onto the left side of the card. Since sequins are bit of an obsession with me these days, I had to adhere a few of those on the front too!!

Inside the card, I adhered a third Kraft doily that I had stamped a sentiment and butterfly from the CAS-ual Fridays "Be" stamp set.

This was so much to make that I think I will be experimenting with using some more of my CAS-ual Fridays Stamp sets to make some more gate fold cards.
