Finding Inspiration at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hi everyone!! Today is my turn over at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog.

I created a card that was inspired by just a few of the photos that I took of beautiful hydrangea bushes across the Irish countryside over the past two weeks.

Below is a sneak peek of the card I created:

CAS-ual Fridays June 2019 Release Day 4

Hello everyone!! Today is the last day of sneak peeks of the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release.

I have to admit that the new Heart A2 Panel Fri-die is my FAVORITE out of this new release. I can see me using this for all sorts of cards-from birthday to sympathy. For today's post, I created a simple hello card.

The first thing I thought about when I saw this die was it screamed 1970's to me. I don't know why but it did. I used the new Heart A2 Panel Fri-die to die cut three panels of bright cardstock that I associate with this era. I then adhered the die cut panels together, staggering them so the color below would peek out, and then cut off the extra cardstock at the edges.

Next I adhered the die cut over a kraft colored, A2 card base and added a "hello" sentiment that was die cut using the Sweet Friend Fri-dies.

I covered the sentiment with clear sparkle pen and Glossy Accents to give it a bit of sparkle.

The new Heart A2 Panel Fri-die, along with the rest of the release is available now in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps June 2019 Release Day 3

Happy Monday everyone!! Today I am back with a sneak peek from the June 2019 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release.

I used the new Stars A2 Panel Fri-die to create a Hanukkah card but I can see me using this die for all sorts of projects.

To start off my card, I sponged gold ink onto a white, A2 card base. I then flicked gold watercolor onto the entire card base.

While that was drying, I die cut blue mirrored cardstock using the new Stars A2 Panel Fri-die. I also heat embossed a sentiment from the Star of David stamp set and then cut it into two words.

I then cut apart the stars from the frame and pieced them together on the front of the card. I adhered a few of the star middles using foam adhesive.

My last step was to adhere the sentiment to the card front using some thinner foam adhesive.

This new die, as well as the rest of the release is available in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store right now in the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME for an extra 15% off your total purchase, including new products.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps June 2019 Release Day 2

Hello everyone!! I am back today with a scheduled post for Day 2 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps June 2019 release.

Today I am showcasing a card I created using the new Flakey A2 Panel Fri-die. I have to say I had a lot of fun using this new die!!

I started off this card by using the new die to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I then did multiple layers of embossing with a teal embossing powder that had little specks of glitter in it.

Next I stamped a sentiment using the Sleigh-ride stamp set onto a white, A2 card base and heat embossed it in gold. I then adhered the green die cut panel over the A2 card base.

As I was looking at the panel, I thought it needed something else so I then used some Versamark ink around the edge with some gold embossing powder to give it a little POP.

My last step was to adhere some gold confetti in the middle of the snowflakes.

The Flakey A2 Panel Fri-die, as well as the rest of the release is available NOW in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order, including the new products!!

CAS-ual Fridays June Release Day 1

Hello everyone!! Today is the first day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps June release. Four days of NEW product just for you. Woot Woot!!!

Today I am showcasing a card that I created with the new Little Huggables Stamps and matching Little Critters Fri-Dies. I am also giving you a sneak peek of the new Hearts A2 Panel Fri-Die being showcased at the end of the week!!!

I started off my card by stamping and using Copic Markers to color in a little bear from the new Little Huggables stamp set. I then used the new Little Critters Fri-Dies to die cut the bear out. 

Next I stamped a sentiment using the same stamp set and heat embossed it in white.

I used the new Heart A2 Panel Fri-die to emboss a white and red piece of cardstock. I die cut the white, embossed cardstock into a rectangle and adhered it over a white, A2 card base using foam adhesive. I die cut the red into a circle and popped it up with adhesive foam.

I adhered the sentiment strip and the little bear over the red circle. I added a little heart in the bears arms, covering it with clear sparkle pen and Glossy Accents. I finished off the card by using some red glitter glue on the bear's nose.

These new stamps and dies, along with the rest of the release is available NOW in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order.
