CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October Release-Ever After

Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a good week. Today I am getting my flu shot after work. Not looking forward to it but because my husband is on a biologic for a chronic condition, it is something I have to do. I am a huge advocate for vaccination but not a fan of needles!!

On a happier note, I am posting another project showcasing a stamp set from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October 2019 Release.

I used the sentiment from the new Ever After stamp set for this card.

I wanted to keep the card very simple because of my background so I chose to be very minimalist with the sentiment and the embellishment on this card.

I started off my project by using the Modern Petals Stencil and Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste on an A2 sized cardstock rectangle. When the panel was dry, I die cut it with a rectangle die and adhered it to the card front, as shown.

Next I used the Casual Trees Fri-dies to die cut a sprig and heat embossed using silver embossing powder. I then adhered the sprig to my card front.

Using the new Ever After stamp set, I stamped the sentiment onto a white cardstock strip using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I adhered it to the card front using foam adhesive.

My last step was to adhere some pearl embellishments randomly around the sentiment and die cut. I have to admit, this is one of my favorite cards that I created for the new release. It was really hard to photograph but it is so pretty in real life.

This stamp set, as well as the complete release is available NOW in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order.

Be sure to hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see some more projects from the Design Team using this stamp set.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. I will be back again tomorrow with another fun project for this release.

Have a FABULOUS day!! 

Day 6 of the March CAS-ual Fridays Release-Just Breathe

Happy Friday everyone!! Today is day six of the March CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release.

I created a card using the new Just Breathe Fri-dies.

I combined these new sentiment dies with the Casual Trees Fri-dies and some of the negatives of a new die that will be introduced tomorrow.

I started off this card by blending Distress Ink on a die cut piece of white cardstock. I then flicked mist in silver, blue and white over the front of the card.

When the mist dried, I adhered the panel to a white, A2 card front. I added the blue die cuts and the die cut tree next.

I then added the sentiment that I had die cut out of silver cardstock. The last step was to adhere the sequins with a touch of Diamond Stickles over them.

This sentiment, along with the full release, is available NOW in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store in the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release Day 2-Stencils!!

Hello everyone!! Today it is the second day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March release. Today I am showing you some cards I created with their new STENCILS!!

My first card I used the new Curtis Stencil. I also am giving you a sneak peek of the hello die which is from the new Sweet Friend Fri-dies.

I used Distress Ink to stencil a rainbow effect on my card front.

I faded each color out so that I would have a large white space on top.

I die cut the sentiment out of black and out of white. I layered the white over the black so that there is a "shadow" behind the hello.

My second card I created using the Modern Petals stencil, Casual Trees Fri-dies and the Breathe stamp set.

I created an ombre background using the Modern Petals stencil and Distress Inks.

Over the top I added some pattern paper scraps, a CAS-ual Tree Fri-die that I had dipped in ink and a sentiment circle that I popped up with foam adhesive.

The last step was to add some sequins covered in Diamond Stickles.

Below are the new stencils that are being released:

 

All of these are in the the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store NOW in the NEW section!!! Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

An Encouragement Card Preview and a Catch Up on my Life

Hi everyone!! Long time no see. It has been CRAZY in my household. Charlotte graduated last week and I have been busy since then trying to get ready for her graduation party that we gave her yesterday. I am NOT an entertainer so having tons of people over stresses me OUT. I will post photos at a later date.

Today I am over on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog featuring an encouragement card. My friend's mother is going through a rough time with radiation and chemo and I wanted to make her a special card. Here is a sneak peek and a photo step-by-step is over at the blog.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I will be back this week with some more projects and photos of my life!!!

Have a FABULOUS Sunday!!
