Day 4 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Holiday Release: Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah

Happy Halloween!!

It is day 4 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps holiday release. I am showcasing two cards that I created, one with the new Merry Christmas Fri-Die set and the other with the new Happy Hanukkah Fri-Die. It seems strange to showcase Christmas and Hanukkah stamps on Halloween but it is fun to be different!!

I started off my first card by randomly stamping gray stars from the Star of David stamp set across the front of a top-folded, white, A2 card.

Using the Happy Hanukkah Fri-Die set, I die cut three blue "happy" sentiments and adhered them down the middle of the card front.

Next I die cut "Hanukkah" in silver using the same Fri-Die set. I adhered this underneath the "happy" sentiments.

My last step was to adhere clear rhinestones randomly across the card front.

I started off my second card by using the Funky Flakes Fri-Dies set and embossing them into a white piece of cardstock. I adhered this over a white, A2 card front at an angle.

I then used the snowflakes from the new Dashing stamp set and randomly stamped them across a piece of aqua card stock. I adhered this over the embossed card panel.

Next I used the new Merry Christmas Fri-die to die cut the Christmas sentiment. I adhered both to the aqua stamped panel. I used Diamond Stickles to cover the sentiment to give it some shine.

I die cut a few Funky Flakes from white and aqua cardstock and adhered them to the left of the sentiment. I then added some bits from the white snowflake around the sentiment and covered them with Diamond Stickles.

Another easy card to create in bulk for the holidays!!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps July Holiday Release Day 6

Happy Friday! It is another day of sneak peeks from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps sets that will be available this Saturday, July 16, 2016 in the store. That is tomorrow so you don't have long to wait!!

Today I am showcasing a simple card I created using the new CAS-ual Friday Stamps "Star of David" and "Spin the Dreidel" stamp sets.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I saw these sets. When I was in elementary school, I remember having classmates parents come in and teach us how to play the dreidel game, as well as give us the history behind the Hanukkah holiday. (Something that you would never be able to do now with all the secularism in school. ) These parents used to bring in brightly colored dreidels and chocolate coins for each student. It is one of the few happy memories I have of this time in my life. I created my card with the colors of those dreidels in mind.

I started off this card by stamping the sentiment from the "Star of David" set with black dye ink. I then stamped the different dreidels from the "Spin the Dreidel" set randomly around the sentiment.

Next I colored in each dreidel with Copic markers and highlighted them with a combination of Stickles, Glossy Accents and Nuvo Crystal Drops.

For the blue borders, I used a combination of blue glitter tape and a stamped border strip from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Holly Jolly Borders" set that I had colored in with blue Copics. My last step was to adhere a trio of sequins in colors that matched some of my dreidels.
