Day 3 of CAS-ual Fridays New Release

Happy Hump Day!! Today is day 3 of the CAS-ual Friday release. I have had so much playing with these fun stamps!! The design team is showing projects made with the new products that will be available on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

Today I am showcasing two cards that I created with the CAS-ual Friday "Thanks" stamps and matching Fri-dies.

On my first card, I used the "Thanks" stamp set with the "Tag Buddies Fri-dies" to make a simple thank you card.

I started the card by blending Squeezed Lemonade and Scattered Straw Distress Ink over a white card base. It was a little too bright so I added some WPlus9 "Falling Star" ink over the top to tone it down.

I then stamped the "thanks" sentiment over a small scrap of yellow patterned paper and die cut it using the smallest tag die in the "Tag Buddies Fri-dies" trio. I adhered the tags to my card using foam adhesive.

Next I stamped and cut out the small banner. I also used adhesive foam to adhere it below the "thanks" sentiment. My last step was to adhere some random coral colored gems around the sentiment to draw the eye right to it.

For my second card, I used the "Thanks Fri-Die" with the "Thanks" stamp set, as well as using a stamp set for the background that will be officially introduced on Friday.

I knew before I even designed this card that I wanted to layer thanks die cuts over each other in various shades of red so I began by die cutting some paper scraps. I set them aside and stamped a white background using the "Tin Roof" stamp set in yellow ink. (More about this set on Friday!!)

I layered the background over a yellow card base and added a black and white strip down the side. Next I adhered the "Thanks" die cuts over each other.

I stamped the "many" from the "Thanks" stamp set and adhered it above the die cuts using foam adhesive. It still looked a little bare so I decided to use glossy accents over the top die. Simple but oh so effective!

CAS-ual Fridays Sneak Peek-"Dream Then Do" Stamp Set

Hello blog friends!! Are you as excited for today's CAS-ual Fridays sneak peek? The design team is showing projects made with the new products that will be available on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

Without further ado, here is the sneak peek of the new "Dream Then Do" stamp set.

Isn't this set fabulous? I LOVE the sentiments and the fonts used for this!!

For my first card, I chose to make the focus on the sentiment.

I started the card by "smooshing" Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio Distress ink on the front of a piece of watercolor paper. I then dried it with my heat gun and adhered it to the front of a 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" card base. Next I adhered an aqua card stock circle onto the front.

I stamped the sentiment from "Dream Then Do" stamp set onto white card stock using aqua dye ink. I mounted it on top of a piece of Basic Grey patterned paper using foam adhesive. I then randomly adhered sequins that matched the paper to the card front to draw your eye through the card.

For my second card, I combined the "Dream Then Do" stamp set with the "Pretty Posies" stamp set that was introduced in my post yesterday.

I randomly stamped the flowers from the "Pretty Posies" stamp set onto a piece of white card stock and colored them in with Copic markers. I then cut the white card into a 4" by 5 1/4" panel and adhered it onto a red card base.

Next I stamped the sentiment from "Dream Then Do" in black onto a piece of patterned paper. I adhered it to the front of the card using foam adhesive. I then took gold hearts that I had die cut using the "Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies" and adhered them to the front around the flowers.
