HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!
I'm here today with Day 4 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps November Release 2018!!
Today we're showcasing the NEW Merry Christmas  Fir Dies & Happy Hanukkah Fri-Dies Sets!! 

I LOVE how FUN it is to be able to use those AMAZING Holiday Patterned Papers that we have just by adding a BEAUTIFUL Sentiment and some other little details!! This Patterned Paper is from the Cozy & Bright Pebbles Inc. 6x6 Pad!! I Die Cut it to fit my A2 Cards base and then added some Metallic Silver Distress Paint Splatters!! I also added some Silver Snowflake Sequins and some Pretty Pink Posh Silver Jewels for the center of the Snowflake Sequins!! The Sentiment was Die Cut 4 times from some Grey Cardstock and stacked together!! Then I Die Cut the top layer from some Therm O Web Deco Foil Toner Sheets that I Foiled with some Rebekah Meier Designs Vintage Tin Foil!! I LOVE the Vintage Feel of this Card!! 

I repeated the same Process as above, just chose a different Patterned Paper to use!! These are Super  EASY to make and think how much FUN you would have being able to use ALL of those Papers you may be hoarding!!??   (Wink Wink)

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you'll come back tomorrow for Day 5 of the Release!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps November Release 2018 ~ Mistletoe Fri-Dies!!

Pin It



HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!
I'm here today with Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps November Release 2018!!
Today we're showcasing the NEW Mistletoe Fri-Dies!! These Dies coordinate with the previously released Mistletoe & Holly Stamp Set!! 

This is such a BEAUTIFUL Set!! There are SO MANY options too!! 

I decided to share a Gift Tag today!! I KNOW if you're like me Holiday Gifts and Cards are on you mind and I LOVE to give Gift Cards for the Holidays to Special People in our lives!! I think Gift Bags and Decorative Gift Tags fit the bill!! So I started by creating my Gift Bag using a Mama Elephant Die cut from some Chalkboard Patterned Paper!! Then I Die Cut the Tag from the Tag Buddies Fri-Dies Set!! I Die Cut the largest one from some Lawn Fawn Patterned Paper and then Die Cut the Smaller one from some White Cardstock!! I inked the background of the White Cardstock with some Tumbled Glass and Lucky Clover Distress Ink to match the same hue as the Patterned Paper!! I wanted it to be lighter though!! Added some Water Droplets for some texture and then added the Mistletoe Image I that I Stamped, Embossed and Die Cut out!! I color it with Copic Markers and added some Silver Glitter Gel Pen to the berries for a shadow!! I used Tonic Studios in Morning Dew to add dimension and Shine to the Berries and the Red Bow!! I Red Seam Binding Bow adds the PERFECT finishing touch!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you'll come back tomorrow for Day 4 of the Release!!

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 
I'm here today with Day 2 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps November Release 2018!!
Today we're showcasing the NEW Dashing Stamp Set & coordinating Snow Fri-Dies!! 

I've created this BEAUTIFUL 3-D Snowflake Card for today!! I started with this Red Snowflake Patterned Paper by Pebbles Inc. Then I added some Picket Fence Distress Paint Splatters!! I Die Cut several of the Snowflakes from the Flurry Fri-Die Set and the Funky Flakes Fri-Dies Set!! I Die Cut them from Vellum, Gold Pearl Glitter Cardstock that I made using some WoW Gold Pearl Glitter Embossing Powder and some Therm O Web Toner Sheets that I foiled with Red Deco Foil!! For the Center of the Snowflakes I Stamped and Embossed the Snowflake Images from the NEW Dashing Stamp Set with some WoW Gold Pearl Glitter Embossing Powder and then Die Cut them out using 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch Circle Dies!! I finished them off using some Pretty Pink Posh Gold Jewels!! For the Sentiment I Stamped and Embossed the "Let It" using Versa Mark Ink and Clear Embossing Powder!! I wanted it to be subtle, but thought the Ice look was a PERFECT compliment to the Snowflakes!! I Die Cut the "Snow" Sentiment from the Cardbase and then Die Cut 4 layers of Cardstock and layered the all together, creating a Raised Inlaid Design!! I Coated the top layer with Versa Mark and Clear Embossing Powder to make it appear like Ice as well and I LOVE the way it turned out!! A few Snowflake Sequins finish off the Design!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you'll come back tomorrow for Day 3 of the Release!!

I started by creating a BEAUTIFUL Fall Background!! I didn't have the Patterned Paper I wanted, so I created my own using the Falling Leaves Stencil from Newton's Nook Designs and some Distress Inks!! (Candie Apple, Barn Door, Carved Pumpkin, Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss) I Embossed over the Leaves with some WoW Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder and then I was able to apple Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over my entire background!! Then I Die Cut 3 Circles, one from Dark Brown Woodgrain Patterned Paper, One from Kraft Cardstock and one from White Cardstock!! I inked the background of the White Cardstock Circle with Tumbled lass Distress Ink to make it match my Background!! Then adhered them all together!! 

I used the CAS-ual Fridays Coffee Cup Fri-Dies to Die Cut my Coffee Mug from some Patterned Paper!! I inked the edges with some Hickoy Smoke Distress Ink to make it POP off the background and used Copic Markers to Color the Coffee inside of the Cup!! Then added some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops over the top to make it look more like Coffee!! I wanted to add a Sunflower so I Stamped and Embossed the Flower form the Pretty Posies Stamp Set and then used the coordinating Posies Fri-Dies to Die Cut it out!! I Colored it with Copic Markers and then added some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the center of the Flower for a more realistic look!! The Leaves were Stamped and Embossed using the Peaceful Garden Stamp Set and colored with Copic Markers before I Die Cut them out using the Garden Fri-Die Set!!

Pin It

Hello!!

          SQUEAL!!

         I'm here with Day 4 of the 

               Newton's Nook Designs October Release 2018!! 

.                            Today we're showcasing the NEW  

  "Slothy Christmas" Stamp Set, "Happy Howl-idays" Stamp Set, "Mistle Toad" Stamp Set, and "Fleece Navidad" Stamp Set coordinating Dies!!

                  Let's take a look at the AWESOME New Products!!

For my first Card I've used the "Slothy Christmas" Stamp Set!! It just makes me SMILE!! The images and Sentiments are PERFECT!! As soon as I saw the Sentiment "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A NAP" I KNEW I had to use it!! I had just received the Pebbles Inc. Cozy & Bright 6x6 Paper Pad!! 

  

How PERFECT!! There's the CUTEST Sloth Patterned Paper!! So I decided to use the NEW "Ornamental Shaker" Die Set revealed yesterday here to create a FUN Shaker Card!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Image and used Copic Markers to Color it in!! 

For the Background I've used the NEW Music Stencil!! SWOON!! One off my FAVORITES for this Release!! I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then used Antique Linen to ink the Stencil!! I wanted to add some Textured Snow so I Splattered my background with some Picket Fence Distress Paint and then poured Distress Rock Candy Glitter over the top of it!! Then I heat Set it and the results are SO AWESOME!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto the bottom of my Card!! Then added the Framework Die Set postage edged panel cut from some Kraft Cardstock!! 

I then created my Ornamental Shaker Element!! I Die Cut the Sloth Patterned Paper and added some Snowflake Sequins, Sparkling Clear Sequins and some Vintage Gold Glass Glitter!! For the Finishing Details I added the Pine and Holly Leaves that were Die Cut from the Pines & Holly Die Set to add them along the top of the Ornament!! I used some Therm O Web Toner Sheet to Foil using Silver Deco Foil and Die Cut it for the Ornament Topper!! Then used some We R Memory Keepers Wire and Wire Jig to create the Ornament Hook!! I also added some of the Distress Rock Candy Glitter to the Brim and Pom-Pom of the Hat!! In real life its the PERFECT Finishing touch!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this Card turned out!! 

 

For my Second Card I Started by Die Cutting Several of the MERRY and BRIGHT Words from the NEW "Holiday Greetings" Dies!! I adhered them to my Focal Panel to create a Background!! Then added some Snowflake Sequins in the open areas!! I added some Tonic Studios Glitter Blizzard Drops to the center of the Snowflake Sequins!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the SWEET Image and used Copic Markers to Color it!! I Paper pieced the Scarf using some Lawn Fawn Rainbow Patterned Paper and used the same Paper for my Cardbase!! A Frame Die Cut from Black Cardstock using the Frames & Flags Die Set was used to Frame up my Focal Panel!!
