Twenty Five Days of Christmas Tags with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Friday!!!

Today I part of the Twenty Five Days of Christmas hosted by Tracey McNeely for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I created a tag using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps new "Joy" stamp set, along with their "Tag Buddies" Fri-dies.

I started by die cutting a tag out of white card stock and randomly stamping the small snowflakes from the "Joy" stamp set with peach dye ink. I am into unconventional colors this Christmas and plan to make a bunch of tags in peaches and blues.

I then stamped the Joy sentiment onto a separate piece of white card stock, masking to make it two different colors. I then used Glossy Accents over the J and Y and Diamond Stickles on the snowflake.

When everything was dry, I cut the sentiment out and adhered it to the tag with adhesive foam. Easy Peasy and oh so FUN!!

I thank you for stopping by today. If you get lost along the way, hope on over to Tracey McNeely's Blog for the blog hop order!!

Have a FABULOUS day!!

Happy Monday everyone!!

October is Cancer Awareness month and Michele, the owner of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps had turned the blog PINK.  Michele has a "Calling All Sistahs" collection of products that consist of stamps and dies to send encouragement and love to someone who might be suffering from this terrible disease. She gives 50% of the proceeds of these products to Breast Cancer Research but this month she has increased her donation to 75%!!!

In honor of of this month, I created a card that used the "Word Ribbon" stamp set from this line to create an encouragement card.

I started off this card by dry embossing some pink card stock and then mounted over a matching A2 card.

I then stamped a white panel using butterflies from the "Be" set in different shades of pink. Next I stamped the sentiment from "Word Ribbon" over the top with brown dye ink.

I mounted the stamped panel over the card front, tucking some pink borders under it for a little more emphasis. I finished the card off by adhering some clear sequins around the sentiment.

Happy 5th Birthday CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!!

Hello everyone!! I hope you are having a FABULOUS weekend!!

This month the Ink Squad had been celebrating CAS-ual Fridays Stamps 5th Birthday by creating projects with some of their Birthday Stamps, which are 20% off until the end of October.

Since it was my turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog, I chose to create a card using my FAVORITE stamp set of all time, "Shenanigans."

I really wanted to use these stamps with some patterned paper scraps and CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies." I created a little cake and topped it with some straw candles.

I also used the Fun-Fetti dies for the candle flame and topped them with some orange glitter glue.

I added some sparkle and Glossy Accents on the heart border as well to give the card a little shine.

This card was so fun to put together and could be made in bulk to have in your stash. I think I might stagger the "cake" layers a bit more then I did but I do like how it came out.

Want to go on a shopping spree? Use my code nora2017 to get 15% off, including sale items.

The Birthday sale will be ending soon so don't forget to place your order!!

I hope you have a great day!!! Toodles!

Sympathy Cards and Some Challenges

Happy Sunday everyone!! It has been so beautiful out today and I am LOVING the fall colors. This past week has just really brought out the oranges and yellows in the leaves.

Today I am sharing a few cards I created for some different challenges. First up are two sympathy cards I created.

The first one I kind of CASEd a card from Mary Beth that she created for PaperTrey Ink's "Make it Monday."  Mine is not as pretty as her card and I did not have the wreath she used but figured I would do the best I could

I used PaperTrey Ink's "Botanical Silhouettes" stamp set for this card and a wreath from Winnie and Walter.

For my second card, I created a sympathy card that was inspired by my card above but I used the colors from Color Throwdown #465 as the inspiration colors.

Again, I used the retired "Botanical Silhouettes" stamp set and added some butterflies from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Be" stamp set.

I used Distress ink in "Wild Violet" and "Dusty Concord" to do the ink blending on the card.

The sentiment is from "What Not Sentiments" by Your Next Stamp. I have to admit that this is my favorite card of the day.

My third and last card was inspired by two challenges-Freshly Made Sketches #309 and Inspired by the Little Things #69.

I used paper scraps and left overs from my desk for this card.

The thanks die cut is from Lawn Fawn and the leaf is from Simon Says Stamp! "The Color of Fun".

I used Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Pens over the thanks and then covered it with Glossy Accents.

Well that is all for me today. I thank you for stopping by!! Have a great night!!

CAS-ual Fridays Sneak Peek Chanukah

It is Saturday here on the blog and I am posting my LAST sneak peek for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. Today were are celebrating "Chanukah" on the blog.

This stamp set and all the other stamp sets posted this week go LIVE in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store TODAY!!!

I created a simple card combining an old CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stamp set-"Star of David" and the new "Chanukah" stamp set.

I started off by stamping and heat embossing in gold a star from the "Star of David" set onto a white, A2 card base.

I then heat embossed "Happy Chanukah" from the new "Chanukah" stamp set in gold on three strips of card stock. I adhered them over the star using foam adhesive.

My last step was to adhere some random gold sequins around the sentiment strips.

This was SO SIMPLE and could be made easily in bulk. You wouldn't think for such a simple card that I would have gotten injured, would you? This was my second attempt at stamping the star on this card. The original one I put my hand in HOT embossing powder. It did not feel nice!!!
