New from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-Peaceful Garden and Garden Fri-Dies

Happy Hump Day!!

Today I am back with a project using the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Peaceful Garden" stamp set and "Garden Fri-Dies."

I started off my card by covering a neutral, A2 card base with patterned paper. I then used foam adhesive to adhere a circle where I had stamped the leaves from the "Peaceful Garden" stamp set.

Next I adhered some vellum leaves that I had die cut using the "Garden Fri-Dies." I topped them with some red roses that I had die cut using the same die set.

I added a black, gold embossed sentiment strip in the middle of the circle and then covered all the roses with Glossy Accents.

To finish off the card, I randomly added some clear sequins.

Best Day Ever-New from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hello everyone!!

I am back again today to showcase another new stamp and die set from CAS-ual Friday Stamps. I used the new "Best Day Ever" stamp set and "Best Day Ever Fri-Die" to create my card.

I started off by using a watercolor technique with Distress inks on a 4" by 5 1/4" piece of watercolor paper. When that was dry, I adhered it to a teal, A2 sized card base.

Next I adhered a white die cut frame over the watercolor area. I added some teal flowers, that I stamped using the "Best Day Ever" stamp set with some green stems from a die set that is being introduced tomorrow.

I added the white sentiment that I had die cut using the "Best Day Ever Fri-Dies," covering it with clear sparkle pen.

The last step was to use some pearl embellishments for the flower centers.

Here is a peek at these new goodies:

CAS-ual Fridays Sneak Peek-Celebrate Stamp Set and Jumping Jax Fri-Dies

Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had a FABULOUS weekend!!

Today the Ink Squad and I are giving you a peek at some of the new goodies at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store!! We are showcasing the new "Celebrate" stamp set and the "Jumping Jax Fri-Dies."

Here is the card I created:

I started off my card by stamping on a white, A2 sized card base in yellow, red and teal using the "Celebrate" stamp.

I set this aside and stamped the sentiment, in black, on a white strip of card stock. I masked off the bottom so I could stamp the little jax with different colors. I then stamped over the sentiment using the bigger jax stamps. I covered the "celebrate" with clear sparkle marker and used Glossy Accents over it.

When the sentiment strip was dry, I used foam adhesive to layer it over a piece of teal card stock and some red jax that I had die cut using the "Jumping Jax Fri-Die."

Happy Saturday and a few Mother's Day Cards

It has been crickets here on the blog as of late. I have been taking a little bit of a hiatus from the web to attempt to work out more. The first week went swimmingly. The second week...not so much. I used to be GREAT about exercising in some shape or form five days a week but it just has not been in me to want to keep that up. I think it is because I was consistent for so long and did not lose a pound. (I also cut down on my food intake too-a thyroid condition makes this all frustrating!!)

Chris and Charlotte were away for 5 days for robotics and I attempted to clean up my craft room a bit. I had stuff everywhere. Alas, it is still a bit messy but decided not to stress until June after school is done for the year.

In an attempt to get my mojo back, I sat down and created a bunch of Mother's Day cards this week. I do not send any out but had a few requests from co-workers for some.

One thing that I did one lonely night was get a bunch of scraps out and die cut flowers using the My Favorite Things "Stitched Flower" dies. I pulled a few of them out and layered them over a card front.

I then used the "Die-namics Mom" from My Favorite Things and adhered it over. My last step was to adhere a combination of jewels and sequins on the card. Easy peasy!!

For my second card, I used the negative of the die cut as my jumping off point for the card design.

I took various flowers in light blue and pink and adhered them over a white card base. I then masked the negative die cut and blended Simon Says Stamps "Blue Jay" ink over the top. I then stamped a sentiment from there retired My Favorite Things "Amazing" stamp set.

I adhered the "mom" over the flowers and then adhered clear sequins randomly across the front.

The last step was to use some Nuvo Crystal Drops in *"Gloss White" in the middle of the flower in the "o" in mom.

My next card I created I adhered the die cut flowers over a white card base that I had die cut using the Mama Elephant die "All Prettied Up." I then used the "Die-mics Mom" to die cut the front.

I adhered the white panel over a red card base. I then popped the die cut sentiment up using three more layers of die cuts.

I then stamped a sentiment in red from the retired MFT "Amazing" set under the die cut. I think this is going to be my new "go to" stamp set as it seems to work with a lot. I had it in my stash, unlinked!!

To finish off the card front I adhered clear sequins across the card front.

Inside of each card, I stamped the above sentiments from the WPlus9 "Love Mom" stamp set in colors that matched with the outside of the cards.

My last card I kind of cheated. I used pattern paper as the background for my card.

I layered a negative die cut "mom" over the card front where I had blended a combination of "Peacock Feathers" and "Tumbled Glass" Distress ink, as well as stamped a sentiment from the MFT "Amazing" stamp set.

I added a couple die cut flowers at the top, as well as a vellum butterfly I had lying around on my desk.

My last step was to adhere some jewels in the middle of the flowers die cuts.

Well that is all from me today. I hope you all are enjoying the weekend!! Have a FABULOUS day!!
