Day 7 of the March CAS-ual Fridays Release-Tin Roof Cover Fri-die

Happy Saturday!! Today is the FINAL day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release!!! I hope you have had fun this week with all the sneak peeks on my blog. Today I am giving you a sneak peek of the new Tin Roof Cover Fri-die.

I have to admit that this is my FAVORITE card that I made for the whole release. I used the new Tin Roof Cover Fri-die, as well as a sentiment from Casual Comfort stamp to create this card.


To begin, I die cut the Tin Roof twice from turquoise cardstock and then adhered them together. Next I adhered the layered panel on the front of a matching A2 card front.


I added two patterned paper scraps on the front and used foam adhesive to add a sentiment strip.


My last step was to use some Nuvo drops in the center of each flower. This card was the EASIEST to make of all of my cards and I like it the most.

The Tin Roof Cover Fri-die is available NOW, along with all the new release products, in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Store in the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order!!

Day 5 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release

Hello everyone!! I am here again with a sneak peek from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps release.

Today I am showcasing the new Noteworthy Fri-dies. You can use these dies as borders or making notepaper for your cards.

For my first card, I created a border with the die.


In addition to the new die, I used the Starlequin Stencil introduced on Monday and a sentiment from the Whole Shebang stamp set.


I added some silver stars that I die cut using the Fun-Fetti Fri-dies over the top of some of the border stars to make the card more festive. I tried to give it a masculine flair because I have a ton of birthdays coming up in my family.

My next card I used the Noteworthy Fri-dies to make a little notepaper piece for a pet sympathy card.


I created the background using Distress Oxide inks and a stamp that comes with the new Huggable Critters Fri-dies. The footprints are also from that set.


I added little Fun-Fetti hearts and a sentiment from CAS-ual Comfort.


This card was so fun to make and I plan to make a few more to have on hand for occasions such as this.

Below is a sneak peek at the borders:

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Casual Comfort" Inspiration

Hello everyone!! Today it is my turn for a little CAS-ual Fridays Stamps inspiration.

I chose to use the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Casual Comfort" stamp set and the matching "Casual Trees" Fri-dies to make two cards. When I sit down to create cards lately I am trying to make more then one at a time. I have also needed a lot of encouragement cards for various people so the "Casual Comfort" set was the perfect set to play with.

Before I even figured out my card design, I die cut two trees out of Kraft card stock and two trees out of vellum using the "Casual Trees" Fri-dies. On the Kraft die cuts, I used liquid enamel dots to create the illusion of flowers. On the vellum, I used clear glitter glue for the same effect. As they were drying, I designed my cards.

For my first card, I chose to use a bit of patterned paper on the card and a butterfly punch paired with the CAS-ual Fridays stamps.


I adhered a 3 3/4" by 3 3/4"piece of  paisley patterned paper onto a purple, A2 card base. I then added a purple card stock frame that I had adhered over vellum.

The frame was created by using the smaller circle from the "Ornament Tag" Fri-dies. When I purchase a die, I always try to stretch them beyond their original purpose and this die was perfect for this frame. I even used the circle from the middle of the frame as a starting point for my second card!!


Next I adhered one of each of the Kraft  and vellum "Casual Trees," so that the tops were opposite of each other.  I stamped "sending comfort" in purple ink onto a white card stock strip and used foam adhesive to adhere it to the card.


I punched a butterfly out of burnt orange card stock and adhered it over part of the sentiment strip. My last step was to adhere some clear sequins onto the card front.

My second card's design is a bit simpler.


My first step was to blend "Peacock Feathers" distress ink onto a white, A2 card front. I then misted it with water and patted the water off with a paper towel. I splattered silver mist over the ink and water and set the card front aside to dry.


While the card front was drying, I used the purple circle scrap from my first card to heat emboss the sentiment from the "Casual Comfort" stamp in silver.


Like the first card, I adhered the "Casual Trees" die cuts so that the stem tops were opposite of each other. I used foam adhesive to adhere the sentiment circle over the die cuts.


My last step was to adhere orange flowers that I had die cut using the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "4 Petals" Fri-dies. I added a bit of silver glitter glue in the middle of each of them to match the silver sentiment.

I really like how using the same products with a touch of different papers and a few dies can make two completely different looking cards. I challenge you to give it a try.

An Exciting Announcement!!

Happy Hump Day everyone!! I hope that you are all having a fabulous week!! I know I am.

Today I am here to share with you something I have been sitting on for a while and have had to keep under my hat. I am now a member of CAS-ual Friday Design Team, The Ink Squad!!


I was tickled pink when Michele asked me to join. I LOVE the products and have had so much fun using them. The other members of the team are amazing and I am humbled to be in the mix.

I created a card over at the CAS-ual Friday Blog with a step by step. Here is a sneak peek!


I also decided to create a card just for my blog.


I used CAS-ual Fridays "Casual Comfort" stamp set, the "Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies" and the "Linked Fri-Dies".

I used Ranger Distress Ink's in Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron on watercolor paper to create my green background. I then used mist spray in teal, green and gold over it to get the effect I wanted.


I then die cut some links out of white card stock and layered them one the top in a pattern. I did a lot of altering on them to create the design I wanted. I then adhered the watercolor paper to a white card base.


I used the "Casual Comfort" stamp set for the sympathy sentiment, which I stamped in gold pigment ink onto vellum and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I adhered the vellum over the card front and added a gold butterfly from Martha Stewart that I punched out of gold card stock.


My last step was to adhere gold hearts that I had die cut using the "Fun Fetti" Fri-Dies and some green sequins.
