Day 4 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sneak Peek-"Supercalifragilistic" Stamp Set

Happy Wednesday!!

Today is a "Supercalifragilistic" day at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. Here is a sneak peek of the new stamp set, named "Supercalifragilistic."

I chose to create a card using this new set CAS-ual Fridays Stamps set and the previously released "Modern Petals" stamp set.

I don't know about your neck of the woods but mine is dreadfully cold. That being said, I decided to create my card with a warmer color palate.

I started off the card by stamping the "Modern Petals" background in a mango color. I then used some Nuvo Crystal Drops to create the flower centers.

Next I stamped the sentiment from "Supercalifragilistic" under the flowers with gray ink.

My last step was to use some pink ribbon to tie a bow between the sentiment and the flowers. I actually LOVE how this card came out. I actually am going to create a set of these with different colors to send some love.

This stamp set, as well as all the new stamp sets, are in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store. Just click on the new section. Use my code-NORASENTME-to get an extra 15% off your total order.

Day 3 Sneak Peek for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-"Time for Coffee" and "Hot Coffee" Stamp Sets

Hello everyone!! I hope you all are recovered from the holidays. I am back to work, wondering how my vacation went by so fast.

Today I am giving you another sneak peek to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release. Today I made a card using the new stamp sets "Time for Coffee" and "Hot Coffee."

For my first card I used the new stamp set "Time for Coffee" and "Coffee Cup Fri-dies," along with two of my favorite Fri-die sets "Tag Buddies" and "Fun-Fetti." (I seem to use the Fun-Fetti dies on EVERYTHING lately.)

I started off by inking a piece of 4" by 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock with blue ink. I then used red ink to randomly stamp the clock from "Time for Coffee" across the inked paper. To finish off the background, I flicked white, brown and red mist across the cardstock.

When the mist dried I adhered it over a blue, A2, top folding card base. I die cut a white tag using the middle die from "Tag Buddies" and made a bow at the top with some brown twine. I then adhered the tag to the front of the card using foam adhesive.

Next I stamped a second sentiment from "Time for Coffee" in brown at the bottom of the tag. I added a die cut coffee cup and a few die cut hearts above the cup.

To complete the card I used a clear glitter pen over the hearts and covered them with glossy accents.

My next card I primarily used die cuts on my card paired with the "Hot Coffee" stamp set. I am making a concerted effort in 2018 to use not only my paper scraps but more patterned paper!!

I started off by stamping the sentiment in brown across a white card stock strip using the "Hot Coffee" stamp set. I then added three stamped coffee beans from "Peace, Love and Coffee." I cut an angle at the end and adhered it to a card base that was covered in a scrap of teal paper.

Next I layered a mix of die cuts from "Cup of Coffee" and "Fun-Fetti" over the front of some small circles that I had punched out of scraps of patterned paper.

To finish everything off, I used glossy accents over some of the coffee beans and over the hearts.

These stamp sets, along with the dies are available now at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps under new. To get an extra 15% off your total order, use the promo code NORASENTME.

Day 2 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sneak Peek-"Coffee Talk" Stamp Set and "To Go Cup Fri-die"

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope 2018 brings you health and happiness!!

Today I am sharing another sneak peek from the new release at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. I created a card with the new "Coffee Talk" stamp set and "To Go Cup Fri-dies."

I started off this card by doing some repetitive stamping. I stamped "coffee" in brown onto a kraft  piece of cardstock and then stamped it again without inking it back up. I did not stamp the whole piece of cardstock but stayed more to the right. I then inked the edges with brown ink.

I mounted the stamped card front over an A2, top folding card that I had previously inked.

Next I die cut all my pieces of the to go cup from paper scraps using the "To Go Cup Fri-dies." I adhered them to the front of the card, using adhesive foam to pop the middle piece off for some dimension.

I stamped a second sentiment from the "Coffee Talk" stamp set on a strip of kraft card stock and adhered it to the insulator. I then adhered a stacked "coffee" sentiment that I die cut from brown paper using the "Cup of Coffee Fri-dies" from yesterdays sneak peek.

My last step was to adhere a "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies" heart, cover it with red glitter glue and then glossy accents.

These new products, as well as the products from yesterday are now available in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp store under the new section. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

That is all from me today. Tune in for another sneak peek tomorrow. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Day 1 of Sneak Peeks from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-"Cup of Coffee" Stamp Set and "Coffee Cup Fri-dies"

Hello everyone!! I cannot believe it is December 31st and tomorrow will be 2018!! This year FLEW by so fast!!!

For the next six days I will be sharing some new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps products. Today is I made two cards showcasing the new "Cup of Coffee" Stamp set and the "Coffee Cup Fri-dies." These will be available today at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

The first card I made I used the small coffee cup from the stamp set and randomly stamped it onto a white 4" by 5 1/4" piece of card stock in a rainbow of inks. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo ink.

I adhered this stamped piece over a piece of green card stock cut to the same size, and a kraft, top-folding, A2 sized card.

Next I stamped the sentiment in brown and used a water based marker to color it in. I then used foam adhesive to matte it in red. I adhered the sentiment block to the card front and went over the red with glossy accents.

My last step was to adhere red hearts that were die cut using the "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies" and clear sequins randomly over the card front. I topped the hearts with a glitter pen and glossy accents.

My next card was a bit simpler. I started off stamping one of the sentiments from the "Cup of Coffee" stamp set in red, orange, yellow and green down a white strip of card stock. I adhered this over a to-folding, kraft, A2 sized card front.

I then used the "Coffee Cup Fri-dies" to die cut small blue coffee cups out of scraps of patterned paper and the "coffee" sentiment out of a purple scrap.

Next stamped the brown ovals and adhere the coffee cups over them. I adhered the sentiment and then covered it with sparkle pen and glossy accents.

I had so much fun using these new products!! I do not drink coffee but I know a few people I will be sending these to with a little gift inside. The new stamp and die set is available at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps under New. Use my code: NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order!!

Friday with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Friday everyone!! Is everyone ready for Christmas? I am as ready as I will ever be!!

Today is my turn on the CAS-ual Friday Stamps Blog. I started off with making ONE card but wound up making THREE!!! Sometimes that just happens, you know? I am warning you ahead of time that this post is a bit heavy on the photos.

It all started off with my first card.

I created this card using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sugar Plum Fairy stamp set, the Ornament Tag and Funky Flakes Fri-dies.

I started off by using the Ornament Tag and Funky Flakes dies to create a decorative die cut frame.

I used white card stock as the base of all my die cuts.

I then sandwiched the snowflakes between the two circle "frames" I created.

I cut off the excess snowflake edges and  decided to coat everything in Versamark ink and gold embossing powder. I actually did a couple passes with the ink and powder because on the first try I stuck my finger in the hot powder and smudged it. Ouch!

As this piece was drying, I created a circle mask and did some ink blending on a white, A2 card front. I added some water droplets over the top of the blending and dried it with a heat tool.

I then stamped the sentiment in one of the ink colors and added the snowflake frame on top.

I had so much fun making this card that I created a second one using a square frame this time.

Instead of embossing the frame, I left it white. The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays Lovely Blessings stamp set and I added a Fun-Fetti heart I die cut in red and covered with a sparkle pen.

When I was done, I noticed that I had a white circle with the negative of one of the snowflakes that I had die cut for my first card. It kept calling to me as I was cleaning up. Here is the card that I created using that small scrap as my inspiration.

I layered the white scrap over the pink glitter circle to make an ornament out of it. I used the Ornament Tag Fri-die for the whole ornament.

I layered my ornament over some pink polka dot paper and silver card stock that matched the top of the ornament. I used the Christmas Sparkle stamp set for the embossed sentiment.

My last step was to add sequins randomly over the card front.

Okay, I promise I am DONE!! I apologize for all my photos today but I was on a roll with all of these cards. If any of you would like to buy any of the dies or stamps I used today, head on over to CAS-ual Fridays and use my code: nora2017 for 15% off of your order. This includes sale items too!!

A couple cards for CASE This Sketch #252, Time Out Challenges and Merry Monday #269

Hello everyone!! Today I am just posting quick.

I created two Christmas cards for some challenges.

First, the layout of the card was inspired by the sketch below from CASE this Sketch:

(sketch #215)

Instead of the circle, I used the poinsettia as the focal point on both cards, along with some pine boughs and mistletoe.

The colors that I was inspired by came from two sources. One is the image from TIME OUT Challenge #98and the second is three colors from the Merry Monday image #269. I think you can see what inspired me from both.

 

Here is a close up of both. I used the same poinsettia that I used on yesterdays card. I die cut a few to get rid of some scraps.

I also used two different sentiments on each card but both were heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

That is all from me today!! I thank you for stopping by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
