Day 5 Sneak Peek for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps January 2018 Release-"Peace and Comfort"

Hey everyone!! Just popping in to show you a sneak peek of the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Peace and Comfort" stamp set.


I think of all the sets release this week, this is my favorite. I cannot tell you how many sympathy cards I create every month, either for me to give or someone asking me to make them a card to give.

Here is the card I created using the "Peace and Comfort" stamp set.


I started off this card by stamping the flowers in purple and yellow, along with the leaves in a row across a piece of white cardstock. I was originally going to make this a one layer card BUT when I was stamping, I got purple ink on the white card stock so I had to rethink my design.


Next I stamped the sentiment over the top of the flowers in black. I cut down the strip and layered it over an A2 card that I had covered in green patterned paper. I finished off the card by adding a black and white strip of patterned paper above the stamping.


This stamp set, as well as all the other stamp sets shown this week are available at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store under the "NEW" section. Use my code-NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order.

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!!
