October 2019 CAS-ual Fridays Release Day 5

Happy Halloween!! I hope you are all having a FABULOUS day. I know for some of you Halloween is up there with Christmas. I hope you are rocking your costumes today.

Today the design team and I are showcasing a card created with the new "This Sucks" stamp set, available RIGHT NOW in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store.

I began this card by using the CAS-Fridays Curtis Stencil to emboss yellow and red Distress Ink on a die cut, white panel. I then stamped the sentiment five times using different shades of red ink. These symbols represent swears and when I swear, I am often seeing red so I thought it was appropriate.

I mounted the panel on a yellow, A2, top folding card. I then stamped the second part of the sentiment in black ink.

I then cut around the edge of the black and mounted it onto my card using foam adhesive. My last step was to use some red Nuvo drops randomly around the card.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October 2019 Release Day 4

Happy Hump Day everyone!! I hope you are all having a great week.

I am back with another project for the October 2019 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release.

Today I am showcasing the new stamp set Hearty Horse. I bet you are looking at the above card and wondering how the heck I used this set!!!

I got a little creative when I saw this and knew I wanted to make flowers with that tiny, solid heart!!

I created my flowers by die cutting a small circle out of a piece of copy paper and stamping the heart around the circle using different fall colored dye inks. I then made a stencil out of where I had die cut the circle and stenciled the flower centers with two types of brown Distress Ink.

On a white piece of cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Hearty Horse set in brown and adhered a dark red cardstock strip underneath. I adhered the sentiment block to the card front using foam adhesive.

My last step for this card was to wrap some twine around the top and tie it in a bow. From the whole release, this was my FAVORITE card that I created!!! I had so much fun making these flowers!!!

For more creative ideas using this stamp set, please hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see what the other Designers created.

This stamp set, as well as all the new release is available NOW in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store in the NEW section. Please use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October Release-Ever After

Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a good week. Today I am getting my flu shot after work. Not looking forward to it but because my husband is on a biologic for a chronic condition, it is something I have to do. I am a huge advocate for vaccination but not a fan of needles!!

On a happier note, I am posting another project showcasing a stamp set from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October 2019 Release.

I used the sentiment from the new Ever After stamp set for this card.

I wanted to keep the card very simple because of my background so I chose to be very minimalist with the sentiment and the embellishment on this card.

I started off my project by using the Modern Petals Stencil and Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste on an A2 sized cardstock rectangle. When the panel was dry, I die cut it with a rectangle die and adhered it to the card front, as shown.

Next I used the Casual Trees Fri-dies to die cut a sprig and heat embossed using silver embossing powder. I then adhered the sprig to my card front.

Using the new Ever After stamp set, I stamped the sentiment onto a white cardstock strip using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I adhered it to the card front using foam adhesive.

My last step was to adhere some pearl embellishments randomly around the sentiment and die cut. I have to admit, this is one of my favorite cards that I created for the new release. It was really hard to photograph but it is so pretty in real life.

This stamp set, as well as the complete release is available NOW in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order.

Be sure to hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see some more projects from the Design Team using this stamp set.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. I will be back again tomorrow with another fun project for this release.

Have a FABULOUS day!! 

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release Sneak Peek Day 2-Doing Great

Happy Monday everyone!! I am here today to showcase another NEW stamp set from the October release for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

Today the design team and I are showcasing the new Doing Great stamp set.

I started off my card by using bubble wrap to create my background. I covered some bubble wrap that I had on my desk with the new Hero Arts reactive ink, misted it with water and "stamped" it onto a white, A2 card front.

While the card panel was drying, I heat embossed the large sentiment from the Doing Great stamp in white and blended the same color inks over the top. I used a rounded rectangle die to die cut the sentiment and used foam adhesive to adhere it to the card front.

My last step was to adhere some clear sequins randomly around the sentiment.

To see more inspiration from the design team using this stamp set, as well as to enter a give away to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store, head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog.

These new stamps, as well as the rest of the release, are available in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

That is all from me today. I will be back again tomorrow with another project for the new release.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release-Day 1

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are having a FABULOUS weekend!!!

Today is the start of a new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October 2019 release party!!! Today the Design Team and I are showcasing two new stamp sets-Angels Hugs and Flower Angel.

For my first project, I mixed an old CAS-ual Fridays Stamp stamp set and the new Angels Hugs stamp set for my card.

I started off by stamping the sentiment from the new Angels Hugs stamp set onto a white, A2 card front in Versamark ink and heat embossing it using silver embossing powder. I then did the same using the leaves from the Peaceful Garden stamp set.

Next I die cut some leaves from white scraps using the Garden Fri-dies and adhered these leaves over the silver.

I stamped and embossed the angels on a square scrap of white cardstock and adhered the stamped square in the middle of the card, over the embossed and die cut leaves.

My last step was to use foam adhesive to adhere a silver, dry embossed frame.

My second card showcases the new Flower Angel stamp set.

I stamped the angel in black dye ink and used Copic Markers to color her in.

I masked the angel off and created a home made stencil to create my clouds. I adhered this panel onto a white, A2 card front, over a piece of aqua cardstock that matched the cloud color.

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a strip of aqua cardstock and used foam adhesive to adhere it onto my card front.

For my last steps, I used Diamond Stickles on the angel wings and Bright Gold Nuvo Crystal Drops in the middle of the flowers in her hair and in random flower centers on her dress.

All new stamp sets are available in the NEW section of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store RIGHT NOW. Use my code NORASENTME for 15% off your total order!!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. I will be back again tomorrow with another project showcasing another stamp set from the new release!!
