A CAS-ual Fridays Post

Happy Thursday everyone!! I am on vacation right now but I do have a fun post on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog. Hop on over to see how I stretched some of my supplies to create the card below.

I even created a fun sketch for you to use if you want!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!

Day 5 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release

Hello everyone!! I am here again with a sneak peek from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release.

Today I am showcasing the new Noteworthy Fri-dies. You can use these dies as borders or making notepaper for your cards.

For my first card, I created a border with the die.

In addition to the new die, I used the Starlequin Stencil introduced on Monday and a sentiment from the Whole Shebang stamp set.

I added some silver stars that I die cut using the Fun-Fetti Fri-dies over the top of some of the border stars to make the card more festive. I tried to give it a masculine flair because I have a ton of birthdays coming up in my family.

My next card I used the Noteworthy Fri-dies to make a little notepaper piece for a pet sympathy card.

I created the background using Distress Oxide inks and a stamp that comes with the new Huggable Critters Fri-dies. The footprints are also from that set.

I added little Fun-Fetti hearts and a sentiment from CAS-ual Comfort.

This card was so fun to make and I plan to make a few more to have on hand for occasions such as this.

Below is a sneak peek at the borders:

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release Day 1-Huggable Critters

Hello everyone!! Today is the first day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release!! I am so excited to introduce the Huggable Critters Fri-dies that contain a matching stamp set for the features. With this one die set, you can create a dog, a rabbit, a cat and a bear. The best part about it is you can tuck a gift card in their hands if you want to.

I chose to create a dog and instead of a gift card, I tucked in a heart with a sentiment from the Somebunny stamp set.

I started off by die cutting the pieces of the dog from white cardstock. I then created a mask with printer paper and a circle die from the Ornament Fri-dies to blend gray ink randomly over areas of the dog, as well as blending gray on the ears and the tail.

Next I stamped the footprints and the nose with black dye ink. The nose I stamped is for the bunny but I had done all this work and was not going to start over!!

I assembled the dog, adhering the body first, onto a white card base that I had misted with primary colored mist. I used foam adhesive on the bottom and left paw so I could tuck the heart under it.

I then adhered the google eyes and covered the nose with black glitter glue.

Here is a peek at what comes in the Huggable Critters Fri-die set (photo of stamps not shown):

This little critter was SO FUN to put together!! If you are interested in purchasing Huggable Critters, it is available in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store NOW in the NEW section. Use the code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.
