CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release Day 4: Pretty Passover and Star of David Fri-Dies

Happy Thursday!!!

It is day four of the March release for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. The Ink Squad is showcasing the new "Pretty Passover" stamp set and the "Star of David Fri-Dies."

I have to admit that I started and discarded more card fronts for this card then I ever have. I tried to foil but I need different embossing powder then I have. I then used glitter embossing powder-total MESS!! I have glitter EVERYWHERE!!! But the card I created is simple but I really like how it came out.

I started by stamping and heat embossing the flower star from the "Pretty Passover" stamp set in gold. I then stamped and embossed the sentiment using the same stamp set.

I then die cut the star out using the "Star of David Fri-dies," as well as a second star. The second star I covered in pigment ink and heat embossed in gold glitter embossing powder. I adhered the glittered star over the front of the flowers.

I then adhered this to a purple, embossed A2 card front. I added some purple sequins in a lighter color around the sentiment.

All of the release is now available in the CAS-ual Fridays Store under the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Tune in tomorrow for day five of the new release!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Day 3 of the March Release: Serendipi-tea Stamp and Teapot Fri-Dies

Happy Hump Day!!

Today I am showcasing another stamp and die set from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March release. The ink squad created projects using the "Serendipi-tea" stamp set and "Teapot Fri-Dies."

I created a card thank you card using these two products.

I started off this card by stenciling a lace sentiment on a white A2 card base in pink. I then stamped the sentiment form the "Serendipi-tea" stamp set in pink.

I adhered a white doily on the card front. I stamped and die cut a teapot and teacup on white card stock. I used Copic markers to color the images in.

I adhered the die cut images onto the card. I used foam adhesive to pop the teacup on the card front. I coated the hearts in clear sparkle marker and glossy accents. I thought the glossy accents would make the hearts look like porcelain.

Tune in tomorrow for a project using the new "Pretty Passover" and "Star of David Fri-Dies."

CASual Fridays Stamps March Release Day 2: More Cowbell

Hello everyone!!

Today is day two of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release. The Ink Squad is showcasing cards using the stamp set "More Cowbell" and "Cowbell Fri-dies."

 

I have to admit I had no clue what was behind this stamp set. I had to look it up and watch the SNL skit.

I created a birthday card using this stamp and die set.

I started off by using two shades of gray Distress ink to blend a background. Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from "More Cowbell" stamp set in silver.

Next I adhered the stamped panel onto a gray, A2 card base. I used the "Cowbell Fri-dies" out of silver card stock and tied a piece of tinsel on top to make it more "festive."

The last step was to adhere the die cut using foam adhesive.

This new stamp and die set is now in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp store in the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total purchase!!

Tune in tomorrow for a sneak peek of the "Serendipi-tea" stamp and coordinating die set.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release Day 1: Hang In There Card

Hello everyone!! Happy Monday!!

Today is the first day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release!!! Today the Ink Squad is showcasing "Some Bunny" stamps and the "Bunnies Fri-Dies."

 

I created an encouragement card using the new "Some Bunny" stamp set.

I started out by stamping the bunny on a white panel with Copic friendly black ink. I then masked the bunny and blended blue ink around the rabbit for the sky.

I then used Copic markers to color in the stamped image. I used the dot technique with the W family of Copic markers to shade in the bunny.

After coloring, I die cut the panel and layered it over an A5 card front that was covered in patterned paper scraps.

I then covered the balloon and the inside of the bunny's ears, tail and stomach with clear sparkle marker.

My last detail was to add a sentiment strip.

The March release is available in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store right now in the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% your entire order!!!

Tune in tomorrow for the showcase of the new "Cowbell" set!!

Sunday with CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #261 and As You See It Challenge #170

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are all having a great day.

I am a little grouchy today. Did a lot of errands and laundry this weekend, but not much fun stuff. I am in a funk. I think a couple days of sunshine would help as it has been gray, gray, gray!!

Today I am sharing two cards I created. The first one is for CAS(E) this Sketch #261, though it is a retro sketch. I created this card using Stamping Bella's "I Have a Secret" stamp and the "Stacked Heart" die from Simon Says Stamp.

I kept this really simple, using white card stock and a scrap of patterned paper from my stash.

Here is the sketch that inspired this card:

I loosely colored in the image using Copic Markers. I LOVE this image and want to make a bunch up to send to some close friends.

I left off the sentiment because I didn't want to use the one that came with the stamp set. The little dots from the sketch were replaced with the hearts die.

I filled in some of the hearts and used clear Sparkle marker over them.

For my second card, I used the sketch from As You See It Challenge #170. Again, I kept it very simple.

The image is from Inky Antics "Wine Time #1" stamp set and the sentiment is from their "Wine Time #2" set.

Here is the sketch that inspired me:

Again, I colored this image in with Copic markers and used a stencil with some Broken China Distress ink for the polka dots.

Instead of the hearts, I chose to add a word bubble with the sentiment.

If only this lady was sipping a beer and I would use it for my friend's birthday instead of having to make her a card now!!

That is all from me tonight. I hope you have a fabulous Monday!!
