Next I Die Cut the Star of David Die from some Therm O Web Toner Sheets that I Foiled with some Gina K Designs Glimmering Gold Fancy Foil!! I LOVE the Iridescent Stars and how it really makes the Die Cut come to life!! 

Then I Die Cut some Doodlebug Design Gingham Patterned Paper using the Large Star of David Die!! Then I used the NEW Jewish Stars Stencil to Stencil the Patterned Paper with some of the Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink with a Blending Brush!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps July Release ~ Snowflake Stencil!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here for Day 1 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps July Release!! Today I'm showcasing the NEW Snowflake Stencil!! SWOON!! I'm a LOVER of ALL things Snowflake!! Although I'm NOT ready for Snow and Cold Weather, it's been FUN Crafting Holiday and Winter Projects during the Heat of the Summer!! Somehow it makes it seem not quite as hot outside!! 

Here's a Look at the NEW Snowflake Stencil!!  

Here's the Project I've created for today!!

SWOON!! I LOVE the Color Combo of Turquoise, White and Metallic Silver for the Holidays!! Especially Snowflake Projects!! Makes me HAPPY to add some SPARKLE TOO!! 

I can't do Holiday Crafting without SPARKLE!! 

Let's get started!! 

I started by adding some Therm O Web Pixie Spray to the back of my Stencil!! This is a MUST have Product if you plan on Stenciling, especially if you're going to Mass Produce Holiday Cards!! Just makes the entire process Easier!! 

I Die Cut a Card Panel from a Piece of MFT Snowflake Patterned Paper and then Placed the NEW Snowflakes Stencil over the Top of the Card Panel and Inked with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink with a Blending Brush!! Then I applied some Gina K. Designs White Glitz Glitter Gel using a Stencil Pal!! After doing the one side of the Card, I removed the Stencil and washed it and then replaced it on the other side of the Card Panel and repeated the Process!! Then I set the Card Panel aside to Dry completely!! 

SWOON!! 

Here's a close up look at the Glittering Snowflakes!! 
Next I Cut a Small Panel from White Cardstock and Inked it with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink and then I Die Cut the "Merry Christmas" 4 Times from some White Cardstock and again from some Deco Foil Toner Sheets that I Foiled with Deco Foil in Sliver!! Then I adhered the Deco Foiled Die Cut on top of the White Cardstock Die Cuts for a Dimensional Sentiment and adhered the Sentiment to the center of the Inked White Cardstock Panel!! I wanted to add some Silver Splatters to my Card Panel so I added some Alloy Alcohol Splatters, and I LOVE the extra shine it adds to my Card Panel!! Then I adhered the Panel to the Patterned Paper Card Panel using Foam Tape for some dimension!! 

To finish off the Design I added some Silver Snowflake Sequins in different Sizes using Zots Bling Glue Dots and then added some Silver Jewels to the center of the Snowflakes for even more Sparkle!!  I adhered the Card Panel to an A2 White Cardstock Cardbase and my Card is ready to sent to someone SPECIAL this Holiday Season!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!! I hope I've INSPIRED You!!?? Come back again tomorrow for a look at the NEW Jewish Stars Stencil!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps September Release ~ Slimline Pinked Fri-Dies Set!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here today with Day #1 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps September Release and today we're showcasing the 

NEW Slimline Pinked Fri-Dies Set!! 

Here's a look at the Entire Set!!

SWOON!! I'm in LOVE with this set and ALL of the AMAZING Possibilities with all of the Dies Included in this Set!! 

Here's what I've created for today!! 

As soon as I Saw this Die Set I was thinking that the Circles and Pinked Circles reminded me of Party Pinwheels!! So that's the direction I went!! I wanted to go with a Pastel Color Palette and I wanted to use some MFT Patterned Paper along with some Iridescent Vellum for the Pinked Circles!! 

I also wanted to use the Little Word and Star Dies to Die Cut from the Center of the Circle Pinwheels!! I backed them with Black Cardstock Circles!! I LOVE how easy it is to back them by using the same Circle Dies!! Then I adhered the Iridescent Vellum Pinked Circles behind!! For the Background I wanted to create the look of Lights Glowing, so I used some Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Tattered Rose and Milled Lavender!! I over lapped the colors so it looked like one Cluster of Pinwheels!! Then I added some Water Splatters, some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and some Rose Quarts Shimmer Pen Splatters for some Iridescent Shimmer!! I adhered the Panel to a Black Pinked Frame and then adhered it to a Blue Cardstock Slimline Card Base!! 

I added a few Studio Katia Iridescent Star Jewels and some Iridescent Confetti Stars to finish off the Design!! I really LOVE how it turned out and think it shows that there are SO many possibilities with just the Dies from this Set!! I wanted to create a Coordinating Slimline Envelope so I Stamped and Embossed the NEW Sassy Celebration Stamp Set Sentiment and then added the left over Stars!! A few Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and Rose Quarts Shimmer Pen Splatters for some Iridescent Shimmer and my Envelope was done!! 

For TONS of AMAZING Inspiration make sure to visit the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog and shop the NEW, Old and Sale Products in the CFS Shop!! You can also use my discount code LARISSASENTME to SAVE 15% off anything in the Shop!! WHOOP WHOOP!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps & Crafting of Hue Sponsorship Blog Hop & SALE!!

Pin It

HELLO!!

I'm here with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps for the Crafting of Hue Sponsorship and SALE!! 

That's right ALL Stencils for $5.00!! 

I've created 2 Cards for today to show how you can Create 2 Cards out of 1 Stenciled Image!! 

Here's what I've created for today!! 

I started by Spraying the back side of my Pawesome Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then I placed the stencil over my Cardstock and applied a thin layer of Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo using a Stencil Pal!! I removed the Stencil and let the Gel dry completely!! 

Once the Gel was completely Dry I cut a piece of Gina K Designs Fancy Foils in Radiant Red and ran it through my laminating Machine!! You can also run it through your die cutting machine!! 

Here's what it looks like after you run it through the laminating Machine!! Then SAVE that Negative piece because we'll use it to create our 2nd Card!! 

I placed the Negative Foil Piece onto a Deco Foil Toner Sheet that I cut to be the same Size as the Foil and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Then removed the Film to reveal the Design!! SWOON!! I LOVE this part!! 

I picked a second color of Gina K Designs Fancy Foil in Sparkling Silver and cut a piece large enough to cover the Design!! Placed it down onto the Toner sheet and then ran it through my Laminating Machine!! I then added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for some Texture!! 

Here's the Finished Cards!!

For this Card I Stamped the I'm Sorry for your loss sentiment onto the bottom half of the Card and added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! I fussy cut the Stenciled Foiled Toner Sheet and adhered it to the cardbase with Foam Tape!! I Stamped and Embossed the Heart Image from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set using Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Fussy Cut it out and Adhered it to the center of the Foiled Heart!!

For my Second Card I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters over the Card Panel and then I Fussy Cut the Stenciled and Foiled Heart and added it to the Card using some Foam Tape!! I Stamped and Embossed the Heart Image from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set using Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Fussy Cut it out and Adhered it to the center of the Foiled Heart!!

I LOVE the way these cards turned out and I hope you feel INSPIRED!!??
