Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Blog today sharing a FUN CAS Card using some of the NEW July Release Products!! I LOVE how this turned out and the fact that its so easy you could create multiples in no time for any Special Occasion and you could use any Color combination here too!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the SWEET Image from the NEW Newton Loves Pizza Stamp Set!! Then I used the coordinating NEW Newton Loves Pizza Die Set to Die Cut the Image out!! I Adhered the Image to a Die Cut Circle from some Red Cardstock and then Die Cut some White Cardstock using the Circle Frames Die Set and Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment!! Then I backed it with another Red Cardstock Die Cut Circle!! 

Then I created the Background Card Panel using the NEW Fractured Card Layout Die Set and some of the NEW Black & White Basics Paper Pad!! I adhered the Image Focal and the Sentiment using some Foam Tape for some Dimension and then I finished off the Design with some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones!! SWOON!! I LOVE how this turned out and hope it INSPIRES you to create some for your Card needs!!

CAS Christmas Card for the 25 Days of Christmas w/ Paper Sweeties!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

We're sharing Holiday Inspiration Projects for 25 days over at Paper Sweeties from December 1st through the 25th!!  Click HERE to check out what the talented Design Teamies have created to help spark your creativity!!

Today I've created a BEAUTIFUL CAS Holiday Card!! Easy to create for any last minute Cards you might need to make, and packs a PUNCH with the White Embossed Card Panel!! It's hard to get the FULL affect in the Photos but in real life it REALLY adds alot of Texture to the otherwise Simple Card Design!! Let's get Started!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the front of my Card Panel with words "Merry, Joy & Noel" from the Merry Stamp Set!! I Stamped with WoW Clear Embossing Ink using my MISTI Stamping Tool in order to just move my Card Panel up and down until the entire Panel was Inked then I used WoW Embossing Powder in Bright White and Heat Set the Panel!! Its hard to see in the Photos, but in real life it adds such an Elegant Feel to the Card!! Then I Die Cutting the Tree from the Stitched Tags #2 Die Set from the Embossed Card Panel!! I wanted to inlay the Die Cut Tree with some Plaid Patterned Paper, as I LOVE the Stitched Detailing around the edges of the Tree!! I used the NEW Photoplay 6x6 Tulla & Norbert's Christmas Party Paper Pad!! I Die Cut the Bow from the set from some Taylored Expressions Gold Glitter Felt and added a Mini Metallic Red Jingle Bell to the center of the Bow for a POP of Color using some Zots Bling Mini Glue Dots!! I LOVE them for attaching Small Elements to my Cards and I KNOW they won't go anywhere during the Shipping Process!! 

Here's another Close up look at the Card!! I just LOVE the CAS Design and I hope I've INSPIRED you today!! Make sure to join me again on Dec. 10th for another Holiday Project!!
