CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release Sneak Peek Day 2-Doing Great

Happy Monday everyone!! I am here today to showcase another NEW stamp set from the October release for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

Today the design team and I are showcasing the new Doing Great stamp set.

I started off my card by using bubble wrap to create my background. I covered some bubble wrap that I had on my desk with the new Hero Arts reactive ink, misted it with water and "stamped" it onto a white, A2 card front.

While the card panel was drying, I heat embossed the large sentiment from the Doing Great stamp in white and blended the same color inks over the top. I used a rounded rectangle die to die cut the sentiment and used foam adhesive to adhere it to the card front.

My last step was to adhere some clear sequins randomly around the sentiment.

To see more inspiration from the design team using this stamp set, as well as to enter a give away to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store, head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog.

These new stamps, as well as the rest of the release, are available in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

That is all from me today. I will be back again tomorrow with another project for the new release.

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

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release-Day 1

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are having a FABULOUS weekend!!!

Today is the start of a new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October 2019 release party!!! Today the Design Team and I are showcasing two new stamp sets-Angels Hugs and Flower Angel.

For my first project, I mixed an old CAS-ual Fridays Stamp stamp set and the new Angels Hugs stamp set for my card.

I started off by stamping the sentiment from the new Angels Hugs stamp set onto a white, A2 card front in Versamark ink and heat embossing it using silver embossing powder. I then did the same using the leaves from the Peaceful Garden stamp set.

Next I die cut some leaves from white scraps using the Garden Fri-dies and adhered these leaves over the silver.

I stamped and embossed the angels on a square scrap of white cardstock and adhered the stamped square in the middle of the card, over the embossed and die cut leaves.

My last step was to use foam adhesive to adhere a silver, dry embossed frame.

My second card showcases the new Flower Angel stamp set.

I stamped the angel in black dye ink and used Copic Markers to color her in.

I masked the angel off and created a home made stencil to create my clouds. I adhered this panel onto a white, A2 card front, over a piece of aqua cardstock that matched the cloud color.

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a strip of aqua cardstock and used foam adhesive to adhere it onto my card front.

For my last steps, I used Diamond Stickles on the angel wings and Bright Gold Nuvo Crystal Drops in the middle of the flowers in her hair and in random flower centers on her dress.

All new stamp sets are available in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store RIGHT NOW. Use my code NORASENTME for 15% off your total order!!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. I will be back again tomorrow with another project showcasing another stamp set from the new release!!

Have a wonderful day!!

A Christmas Card

Hi everyone!!

Just a quick pop in with a Christmas card I created this weekend. I was going to post it yesterday but just was too tired to be on the computer.

I used Hello Bluebird snowman from the "Frosty Friends" stamp set that I colored in with Copic markers as my main image. I have had these snowmen since last year but never inked them up.

I used CASE this Sketch #344 as my main inspiration for this card, as well as Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies Challenge.  The sketch had me a bit flummoxed this time but I figured it out. Instead of the hexagon I used a snowflake!

I had so much fun going through my plethora of snowflake dies and cutting them out to use on cards. I actually have quite a few dies and there are a bunch more that I have on my wish list!!

Notice the pink on the snowflakes? Apparently my inked background was not dry all the way and I picked it up with the Nuvo Clear Shimmer Pen I used over the snowflakes!! It makes me mad but don't think it looks horrible, do you?

I had a lot of fun making this card and am thankful that my mojo came back to me this weekend!!!

On a different note, I have been doing a fun thing for my daughter the last couple days. She has been super stressed with midterms and school work so I took the trio of cats that were her FAVORITE stuffed animals and took photos the last two days to send before I left for work. I then text them for her to see when she woke up. Oh, and by the way, as you can see, they are in NO WAY professionally done!!

This one I took yesterday in my basement before I steamed the shirt I chose to wear.

Today I got the dog involved. He doesn't look too happy does he????

Well, that is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a GREAT day!!

Happy Sunday!!

Hey everyone!! Happy Sunday night!!

Just popping in with a quick post to get in a card I created for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #407 and a bunch of other challenges listed at the end. I am right on the edge and since I love how this came out I had to get it posted!!!

I created a background using Distress Inks. I then used a tooth brush and watered down white acrylic paint to spritz white over the top.

The snowman is from Hello Bluebird's "Frosty Littles" Stamp set. I colored him in using Copic Markers and then added little touches on using Diamond Stickles and Nuvo Crystal Drops in Berry Blue.

The sentiment is from Hello Bluebird's "Typed Christmas" stamp set.

The snowflakes are from the hoard of dies that I have. They were in a pile and don't have a clue who makes what without going through everything and it is too late for that!!!

I have had NO MOJO as of late so making this card is so exciting for me!!! I love how this background came out and even made a different one to match but too late to post so will do it tomorrow.

I am entering this card in Freshly Made Sketches #407, Just Us Girls Challenges #510: Color Week-using the colors Navy, Purple and Green,  Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies, Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge: Anything Goes Optional Twinkle, and Addicted to Stamps: Holiday.

That is all from me tonight. I hope you all have a great start to your week!!!
