Day 1 of the July 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release-Snowflake Stencil

Happy Friday everyone!! Today I am popping in with a project I created using the NEW *Snowflake Stencil from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I started off by using a circle stencil to blend *Stormy Sky Distress Ink onto a white card front. I then used the *Snowflake Stencil to stencil some snowflakes and snowfall along the sides.

Next I stamped my sentiment using the *Snowy Sayings Stamp Set with black ink. I also stamped some tiny snowflakes from the set in the circle using some blue dye ink.

I die cut some snowflakes using the *Funky Flakes dies and adhered them around the circle. I added some *Fresh Snow Glitter Accents in some of the snow fall and put the panel aside to dry.

While the Glitter Glue dried, I used the *Snowflake Stencil to stencil snowflakes in Stormy Sky ink onto a top folding, blue, card base. 

My last step was to adhere the white panel to the blue card base. This was a simple card to create and one that would be easily mass produced in different colors.

This stencil, as well as all the other stencils, are now in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Shop under the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order!!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #523 Reminder!!!

Hello fellow cardmakers!! I am popping in to remind everyone that you still have time to play at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog with challenge #523. This week it is a color challenge.

Di's Digi Stamps is the sponsor this week for the challenge. One lucky winner wins a prize of 2 Digital Stamps of the winners choice!!! 

I do not own any of Di's stamps so I used stamps that were on my desk from another project.

The challenge was to use the colors BLUE, LIME and YELLOW on a card. For my card, I primarily chose to concentrate on the blue color with just touches of yellow and green.

I combined Wplus9's Spring Blessings stamps and dies with The Little Things stamps and dies to create the flowers on this card. The bird is from Wplus9's Winter Greenery set.

I used *Altenew inks *Lapus Lazuli, *Pocket Full of Sunshine and *Warm Gray to stamp the images. 

I placed the stamped images over a white die cut and *Garden Melody pattern paper from Carta Bella. I happen to adore this blue stripe and will be sad when the paer is all used up!!

I used foam tape to pop up a sentiment from The Ton and the card was complete. I LOVE how this camp out and unfortunately it will be used this week.

I hope you like my card and will join us for this weeks Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #523. I cannot wait to see what you create!!! Hop on over to the blog post to get some other ideas from the Design Team.

Christmas in July

Hi Friends!! Today I am popping in with a quick card I created for some challenges. There are a TON of challenges out there right now for Christmas Themed cards so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and create one.

I created this using this weeks AAA Card Challenge #194-A Twinchie and optional twist, Christmas in July, The Male Room Challenge #152 Christmas in July, the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge WWC320-Dawn's All About Occasions

I created this card by using Mama Elephant's Little Snowman Agenda stamps and Hello Bluebird's Holiday Flurries stamp set and Typed Christmas stamps. It isn't perfect but I tried to get the sentiment to hug the edge of the circle.

I used *Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for my "sky" and Hero Arts *Tide Pool to stamp the snowflakes. 

Clean and simple are NOT my forte but I love how this card came out!!!

That is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS night!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #523-A Color Challenge

Hello everyone!! Just popping in with a card for this weeks Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #523.  

This week the design team is playing with Di's Digital Stamps on their cards. HOWEVER, I don't have any of these so I chose to do a more graphic card, using die cuts as my design element. 

The challenge this time around is a color challenge. Can you guess which colors we had to use?

In the badge, the yellow and blue are really bright. I toned mine down a bit by using a slightly different shade of both colors. 

I used Simon Says Stamps Geometric Square Builders to die cut pattern paper from My Minds Eye's Tutti Frutti paper collection, Bo Bunny's Lemonade Stand collection and a gingham scrap from Lawn Fawn. I wanted the design to be simple as I wasn't sure how these squares would look together when done.

The sentiment is stamped using The Ton's Easy Expression sentiment stamp and matching die. I added some sequins around the sentiment to give it more emphasis.

I was not sure how I was going to do this challenge but I LOVE how my card came out. I know that this color mix is not the usual to use for a more graphic card but I think it all pulls together nicely.

Please hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Blog to join us in the latest challenge and to see the other beautiful projects the Design Team created. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

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