CAS-ual Fridays Stamps New Release-Noteworthy Fri-Dies!

Welcome to Day 5 of Inspiration for the CAS-ual Fridays New Release!  Today we're sharing inspiration with the new Noteworthy Fri-Dies!  Here's how I was inspired:

This is a set of three border dies that create that cool notebook edge on your paper and I love them!  There are three different shapes for the holes AND you can also use it to cut the actual border shape out to add to your projects.  I used it here to create a torn notebook edge.

I started by inking up the inside of a sheet music embossing folder with black ink.  I just lightly rubbed the pad across the raised portion of the folder.  Then I sandwiched my paper in between and ran it through.  While it created the embossing it also "stamped" my paper for me.  Then I used some Old Paper distress ink around the edges of the paper and used the new Modern Petals stencil and Vintage Photo distress ink in the corners for a little more interest. I used the noteworthy die to cut the edge of the sheet music and then splattered some Heidi Swapp Gold Colour Shine over the top.

While my background dried, I heat embossed this beautiful sentiment from the Big Treble stamp set onto a banner die cut and cut the Treble Clef Fri-Die from some Foil Cardstock.

I put it all together and added a little flower and some pretty gold sequins and done!

I'm playing along with Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes this week!

A Friend Knows The Song In Your Heart-CASual Fridays

Lisa here and today I'm sharing with you a card I made using the Big Treble and Treble Clef Fri-Die along with a couple additional sets. 

I started by creating a background using the Emboss/Resist method that Nora showed you in this post here.  I stamped some of the Treble Clef images from the Big Treble set along with some hearts from the Peace, Love and Coffee stamp set in a sort of random pattern in Versamark and heat embossed them using white embossing powder.  Then I ink blended my background with Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxides and lightly swiped over the top to wipe the ink off of the images.  I decided I wanted the Treble Clef images to stand out more so I added some additional color back to just those using my Zig Clean Color Real Watercolor Brush Pens-alternating in similar colors to what I used for the background.  Then I splattered some metallic watercolors over the top in pink and gold.

I fell in love with the background so I decided my sentiment should be on vellum to let as much of it show as possible.  I cut my frame from vellum using the Bubble Box Fri-Dies and heat embossed in black.  I have always loved this sentiment!!  CAS-ual Fridays has some of the best sentiments I've found anywhere!

I cut a Treble Clef die cut out of some foiled cardstock that was just the right color.  Along with some hearts from the Heartboard Fri-Die... I just used the one for the bottom left corner and saved the rest for a future card.   Finally I scattered some clear and pink sequins around.

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today!  Be sure to come back often for more inspiration!
