Day 1 CAS-ual Fridays Winter Mini-Release!

 Hello everyone!! Happy New Year's eve!! 

Today I am popping in with a NEW MINI RELEASE from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. This new release is all about celebrations and is on sale now in the NEW section of the store. 

Today the design team is giving you a peek at some projects created with the new Pop, Fizz, Clink stamp set and Champagne Flute Die.

I started off my card above by using a new stencil, Bubbly Stencil, and  Luna Paste on black cardstock. While that was drying, I stamped the flutes using the new Pop, Fizz, Clink stamp and heat embossed with WOW! Superfine Sliver embossing powder.

I die cut the flutes using the Champagne Flute die and adhered these on the front of the card. I then stamped, masked and heat embossed in silver the sentiment in the bottom right corner.

To finish off the card, I added some silver Stickles inside the little bubbles on the flutes. This was SO FUN to create and I LOVE how it came out. Doesn't it scream celebration??? Below is a peek at the stamp and die set.

 

For my second card, I wanted to primarily use dies.

I die cut a white panel using the Pinked Slimline dies. I then stamped the sentiment from the Pop, Fizz, Clink stamp set with WOW! Opaque Superfine embossing powder. I then did some sloppy blending of pink around the entire card. I was sloppy on purpose because I didn't want a TON of ink on my card. I layered this panel over a piece of pink vellum die cut with the Pinked Slimline die that was already adhered to a slimline cardfront. 

I die cut the champagne flutes from pink glitter paper and pink vellum with the new Champagne Flute dies and adhered these together. I adhered some of the negative pieces of the die cut across the top of the card.

My last step was to adhere the completed flutes to the front of the card. This card was SO EASY to make but looks like it took a ton of time.

For more projects using these fabulous sets, be sure to visit the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog. The design team has made some awesome creations.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner and a Couple Cards for World Card Making Day

Happy Sunday everyone!!! Yesterday FLEW by and I only was able to make three cards, and one is sitting on my desk half finished. My mojo is just GONE and I was so disappointed because I set aside the whole day yesterday just to play. Don't you hate when that happens?

Now onto some FUN news!!! The two winners of the new products I collaborated on with CAS-ual Fridays  are.....

Sue D. you were randomly picked to win the Pinked Slimline Fri-dies and Lisa Elton for the Everyday Dragonflies Stamp and Fri-dies!!! Congratulations!! I cannot wait to see what you create!!! 

Onto my lame attempt at making cards for World Card Making Day. My first card I created for the Pinkfresh Studio Challenge #12 hosted by Arjita. It was to create a card using florals. Here is what I created.

I stamped the Modern Layered Florals with Pinkfresh Dye Inks. (I used the ink cubes from Over the Hills for the leaves and Heartbeat for the flowers.) I have had this stamp set for ages and this was the first time I inked it up and I LOVED it!! I layered my florals over a panel of pattern paper from the Celebrate 6" by 6" paper pack. 

The whole layout design was inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #455. The sketch was a square card but I changed it to a rectangle.

I added some Buttermilk Nuvo Crystal Drops in the center of the red florals to create the floral centers. I popped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, using some foam adhesive and then added some pink pearls around the edges. 

I really liked how this card came out!!! I even stamped and die cut a couple more florals using different colors to use on some future cards.

For my second card, I pulled out my PLETHORA of pre-made ephemera from Pinkfresh Studio to create my card. I used the Pinkfresh Challenge #6 and Challenge #12 hosted by Anne (6) and Artija (12). The challenges were to create a card with no stamping and florals. Here is what I came up with.

None of the stuff on this card is out there anymore. I am a paper and ephemera WHORE that buys it and then NEVER uses it!! It is terrible!! For this card, I combined Pinkfresh paper and Stitched Frames from the "Simple and Sweet" collection, along with flowers and die cuts from "Joyful Day." I then threw in a typed sentiment strip from the "Indigo Hills" set.

Not one stamped image in sight!!! I need to do things like this more often because it is fun to sit and layer things on top of each other. I added some Clear Wink of Stella over the flowers to give them a bit of shine, as well as some Nuvo Fresh Snow Glitter Accents in the middle of the flowers. 

For my final touch, I added some gold sequins across the card. I am so happy with how this came out!! 

Well, that is all from me today! I hope you all have a FABULOUS afternoon!!

Happy World Card Making Day!!

 Hello everyone!! I am popping in for a super QUICK post!! I will be posting more cards hopefully (with my fingers crossed!) tomorrow as I plan to spend the day in my craft room!!!

CAS-ual Fridays has a NEW Halloween stamp set-"Spooky," which I received in the mail yesterday, along with some glow in the dark Wow! embossing powder so I just HAD to make a card!!!

I had an idea when I saw this set to make a SUPER SIMPLE shaker card. I stamped the boo sentiment with Catherine Pooler "Midnight" ink on white cardstock. I then die cut the panel using the Pinked Slimline Fri-dies.

I then stamped the cob webs with Versamark ink and heat embossed with the WOW! "Glow in the Dark" powder. 

I then made an envelope out of a clear notebook pocket and added some sequins to make a shaker card. I didn't have just black sequins so I had to pick each of them out individually from a color mix!! Talk about dedication to an idea!!! I adhered the shaker part to the front of a white, slimline card.

I used the Pinked Slimline Fri-dies once again to die cut a black frame, which I adhered around the shaker using foam adhesive. My last step was to adhere a few sequins on the outside of the shaker as well.

CAS-ual Fridays is having a HUGE CLEARANCE sale, as well as a free giveaway with a purchase of over $35.

You can use my code, NORASENTME, to get an extra 15% off your total order!!!

Also, don't forget to post on my Day 1 and Day 2 September Release Blog posts to be in the running to win the new Pinked Slimline Fri-dies and the new Everyday Dragonflies stamp set, with matching Fri-dies. The random drawing will be on Sunday, October 4!!!
