Day 3 of the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release: Introducing Big Thanks Duo

Hello everyone!! Today I am popping in with a card I created for the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release. I made a simple card using the new Big Thanks Duo. This new set includes the stamps and the dies together.

I started off this card by using the Swirls Stencil with blue Stickles. This was an experiment and I LOVE how it came out!!

While the white panel was drying, I stamped and die cut the "thanks" using the new Big Thanks Duo set.

I made an ombre effect on the sentiment using different colors of blue ink. I started with light blue on the "s" and used darker shades as I went down the stamp toward the "t."

I layered the stenciled panel over a blue card base and then stamped another sentiment from the Big Thanks Duo set onto the card front. I adhered the thanks using foam adhesive. 

This stamp set, as well as all the other new stamp sets, are available NOW in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Shop. Just check out the NEW section. Be sure to use my code, NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your TOTAL order!!

While supplies last, if you spend $25, you will get a Hello Freebie set, no code needed!!! Be sure to check out the other fabulous projects on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog created by the Design Team. 

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. I hope you all have a FABULOUS day!!!

Day 2 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps April 2021 Release: Introducing Flower Duos

Hello everyone!! I hope you are enjoying your Saturday!!!

Today I am popping in with a card I created for the April 2021 CAS-Fridays release of Flower Duos. It includes the stamps and dies together!! 

I started off this card by splattering some brown and pewter Distress Stain across a white card front and a tag I created with the Tag Buddies Dies. These dies are being retired and are ON SALE NOW!!! I let the tag dry and then partially blended the tag with some blue Distress Ink.  I added some purple twine to the top of the tag and adhered it using foam adhesive. 

I then stamped the flowers and leaves using the new Flower Duo stamp and die set.

I used ink to watercolor the flowers and leaves. When these were dry, I adhered the botanicals over the top of the tag.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set onto a small strip of cardstock and used foam adhesive to adhere it onto my card. I then used some Nuvo Crystal Drops to create my flower centers.

This new stamp set, as well as all the other new sets are in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp store NOW in the NEW section. Be sure to use my code, NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order, including sale items!!!

As a bonus, while supplies last, spend $25 and you will get a Hello Freebie stamp set, no code needed!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Be sure to hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see some other beautiful cards created with this new set.

Have a FABULOUS day!!!

Day 1 of CAS-ual Fridays April 2021 Release: Introducing the Hello Freebie Set on Cards Using Scraps

Happy Fridays everyone!! I am so excited that the week is OVER!! It has been a looonnng week and I need a break. 

Today I am popping in with two cards I created for the April 2021 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release using the Hello Freebie stamp set (while supplies last). Who doesn't like a free stamp set? Just spend $25 in the CAS-Fridays Shop and receive a stamp set for FREE-NO CODE NEEDED!!!

For my first cards, I decided to use some scraps with the Hello Freebie.

I cut different sizes of green strips and layered it in a pattern over the front of my card. 

I stamped the "hello" with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink onto a neutral pattern paper and heat embossed it with WOW! Pale Gold embossing powder.  I then fussy cut the embossed sentiment out.

I added the "hello" onto the top of a pinked circle that was die cut using the Pinked Slimline Dies and stamped with a matching sentiment from the freebie set.

My second card is simple and inspired by a book cover. 

I covered a top folding, A2 card front with torn, yellow paper that I had distressed with brown ink. 

I then stamped three sentiments from the Hello Freebie set with brown ink in a random fashion. I stamped the "hello" from the set the same but then covered it with Glossy Accents to give it some shine.

This was SO EASY and fun to make. I think I will be making a few more in different colors!!! Below is a peek at the Hello Freebie set.

Some CAS-ual Fridays Coffee Tags

 Happy Saturday!! I only have today and tomorrow left from my April vacation and I am sad. I tried to get everything done that I wanted to do but the best laid plans sometimes just don'w work out!!! Another eight weeks and then I am OUT FOR THE SUMMER. I will be counting the days. This school year has been tough for everyone. 

Today I am on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog with a couple of tags that I created for some gift bags I sent out to my niece and nephew. They were supposed to be for Easter BUT as usual, I didn't get them out in time. The main gift was a Starbucks card so I decided to make the tags coffee themed. Below is a sneak peek from just one of them:

Please hop on over to MY POST to see photos and instructions for both of the tags I created!!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!
