CAS-ual Fridays Release Day 1 - Hello Freebie

Hello!  Excited because today we're celebrating Day 1 of CAS-ual Fridays Release and for Day 1, we're sharing projects with the Hello mini stamp set!

You can get this fun 3x4 stamp set for free with any $25 order!  No code is needed and it will be automatically added to your qualifying order while supplies last!  You can check out all of the Release products and more in the CAS-ual Fridays shop here!

I just love this Hello stamp and all of the adorable and fun sentiments you can use with it!

I paired it with the Flowerburst stencil.  I started by applying yellow ink through the stencil and then turned the stencil randomly and applied pink and rotated it again and used blue ink and then a fourth time with some Glitz Glitter Gel.

While that was drying, I stamped the Hello with Catherine Pooler All That Jazz ink.  Versamark was added on top of the CP ink and then heat embossed with Bang Colour Blend Wow Embossing Powder (my favorite).  I fussy cut it out and popped it up on the card and then added one of those fun sentiments.

That's me for today!  Be sure to hop on over to the CFS Blog for details! And be sure to see what everyone else has made for you today!

Should you decide to shop, I have this for you:

CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Release Day 3 - Love Notes Stamps (Remix) and Heart Notes Die Bundle

It's Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays Release and today we are sharing projects using the Remix version of the Love Notes stamp set and the Heart Notes Die Bundle!

I cut a panel using the stitched rectangle in the Pinked Slimline Die set and using the Misti I stamped the sheet music (one line) stamp down the entire length in a rainbow of colors.  I moved the music stamp to the left and right and cleaned off the stamp in between colors.  When I was done stamping I splattered some black watercolor paint very lightly over the top.

I added a black layer behind the stamped layer with a 1/8" border and then cut a panel of white cardstock using the pinked rectangle and adhered all three together.  the circles also come with the slimline set and I cut the pinked circle in black and stitched circle in white and layered them together using thin foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment from Love Notes and cut it in a thin strip to fit across the front and then cut the Double Note die from pink metallic cardstock and popped it up over the top.

That's me for today!  I hope you enjoyed it!  And in case you see something you need, I have this for you:

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release Day 3 - Chunky Chevron and Bubbly Stencils

 

Welcome to Day 3 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps new release!  Today we're sharing projects using the Chunky Chevron and Bubbly Stencils and I decided to use both on one card... cause... why not!?  I also used the Champagne Flute Dies, Pop Fizz Clink stamp set and Celebrate dies!

I used pink and purple Catherine Pooler inks ... straight purple for the chevron and then a combo of pink and purple for the circles just for a different shade of purple!  I love how they look together!  I cut the Champagne Flute from white and purple glitter papers (using the included bubbles die on the white.  I layered the white over the purple and popped it up onto the background.  Then I cut the Celebrate three times, twice from white and once from purple glitter paper and stacked and adhered them together.  Then I popped that up over the stem of the glass.  Finally I stamped the sentiment from Popp Fizz Clink onto purple cardstock and embossed in white... then I cut each word apart and popped them up in a quirky fashion.

I'd call it a celebration on a card for sure!

That's me for today!  I hope you enjoyed your visit and you come again soon!  Now be sure to head over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog to see how you could win and see what everyone created for you today!

CAS-ual Fridays Release Day 2 - Salty Stamps and Margarita Glass Dies!

Welcome back!  It's Day 2 of the CAS-ual Fridays New Release!  Today we're sharing makes using the new Salty Stamps and Margarita Glass Dies!

I also used the awesome new Chunky Chevron stencil on this one along with some beautiful Catherine Pooler Inks.  I stamped the glass and die cut it with the coordinating die... love that it cuts right up against the outline (I did run the edge of a black marker along the outside to be sure any white areas showing were filled in).  I cut the very cool "salt" part of the die from white glitter paper.  Colored the glass with Copics and mounted it onto my background with foam tape as well as one of the CUTE sentiments.

To add "bubbles" to my mango margarita, I use my blending marker and after it's colored, with the tip of the brush end I swirl in small circles... once or twice if needed.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping!  Now be sure to head on over to the blog and see what everyone else has created for you today!  Be sure to check out each day's posts to see how you could win!  And should you see something you must have, I have this for you:

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Coffee Is Never Wrong!

Welcome back!  I've got some more caffeinated inspiration for you today using some The Rabbit Hole Designs and a few others!

I started by creating the background using an awesome stencil from a great shop over on Etsy, The Artisan's Cache and some Catherine Pooler Inks.  I found out when I went to link up this stencil that apparently the shop owner Jackie is not well and the shop is on hold, but I do suggest you check there from time to time and also she has an IG account @creationsbyjsheri and I find great inspiration there and suggest you give her a follow!

I super love the "tattoo" style stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs!  And of course I HAD to have this one because it has a coffee cup on it!  I also love that vintage frame from A Jillian Vance Design!

I combined the Coffee die from CAS-ual Fridays (on sale now!) and a sentiment from the stamp set.  Because Coffee Is Never Wrong!

Also, in case you shop at CAS-ual Fridays I have this for you:

And links to the products I used are below (I just linked to the Artisan's Cache shop since products aren't available for sale right now).

Thanks so much for shopping!!  I hope you'll come again soon!  And be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog and check out the Day 1 Post for details and to link up!

 

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release Day 4 - Happy Birthday!

Welcome back!  It's the last day of New Release inspiration over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!  Today we're sharing the Birthday Fridays!

I used the Bold Flower stencil and some beautiful Catherine Pooler inks to create my background.  First I stenciled on the flowers using the inks and a sponge.  Then I dabbed the remainder of the ink from the sponges all over the panel in a random pattern.  Finally I smooshed a little ink onto a piece of plastic packaging and used a water brush to splatter some over the panel.

I cut the Happy Birthday from glitter paper and twice more from white cardstock.  I didn't save the little curvy underscore lines, but I did make sure to hang onto the dot for my eye.  I stacked all of the pieces together and popped it up over the background.  Finally, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Sassy Celebrations stamp set onto purple cardstock and matted that one pink and then white and popped that up underneath.  A few sequins and I was done!

That's me for today!  Be sure to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see what everyone has created for your viewing pleasure!  And if you've seen something that you must have, I have this for you:

CAS-ual Fridays Release Day 3 - Celebration & Hooray Fri-Dies!

Welcome to Day 3 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release!  Today we're sharing the so fun Sassy Celebration Stamp Set and Hooray Fri-Dies!

I just love the font on these Fri-Dies and I didn't set out to make a shaker but when I die cut the celebrate I had the perfect makings of a shaker!  Lucky I kept track of the little pieces from the e's, b, and a so I could add them back to the Celebrate word once my acetate was on.

And I filled it up to the brim with the perfect sequin mix!  It still shakes, but it is full!

I created the background using some Catherine Pooler Inks and the Jacks stencil.  The "Well done you!" sentiment is from Sassy Celebration and the rest of the pieces are all from the Slimline Pinked Fri-Dies.

That's me for today!  Be sure to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog to see what everyone else has created for you today and to see how you could win a prize!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and Catherine Pooler Designs Collaboration Hop!

Hello!  I've got some fun for you today!  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is joining Catherine Pooler Designs for a Blog Hop!  We've all used some beautiful CP Inks along with some fantastic stamps and dies from the CFS shop!  And both are giving away a $30 gift code!  Hop and leave some love at each stop for your chance to win!

You should have arrived here from Jen Carter's Blog!  Here's how I was inspired: 

I decided to pull out the Full on Floral background stamp for today because it's so pretty and I thought it would be perfect in these beautiful colors from the Party Collection Carnivale Mini Ink Pads.  I used the Misti and applied the Limoncello ink first and inked up the bottom right corner of the stamp and stamped onto a panel of white cardstock.  When I do this I like to apply the ink with a sponge to avoid lines and get a better blend.  It will take me a couple applications which is why I use the Misti.  I cleaned off my stamp in between colors and followed with Coral Cabana and Be Mine.

Then I left the stamp on the Misti and covered it with some Wow Embossing Ink and stamped over the inked background.  I added some Wow Changers Sparkle and heated it up.  It added a really pretty sparkle to all of the beautiful color.

I stamped, cut and colored that sweet bunny from the Somebunny stamp set and then diecut the Sweet from the Sweet Friend die set three times from white cardstock.  I added more of the same colors of ink again using a sponge to one of the word diecuts and then heat embossed it with the Sheen from the Changers kit and then again using some clear powder.  I stacked my three word diecuts together and then popped the bunny and "sweet" onto my base.  I stamped a sentiment from the Be A Unicorn set and cut out the top and bottom parts to arrange around the Sweet to build my sentiment.

I added a few sequins and this one was done!

I've been using these inks lately ... I just love the beautiful and rich colors and the pads are nice and juicy!  Here's a couple more projects I made recently using CAS-Fridays products along with these inks:

If you come here often, you know how I love my coffee cards!  That background was made using the By The Beans stencil and CP inks topped with a little translucent texture paste and some "texture" Wow Changers.  If you'd like more details you can visit this post here!

And oh look!  More Coffee....lol... and you can find this one here if you'd like more details.

That's me for today!  Now head on over to see what Karen Baker has created for you today!  Remember!  Be sure to hop and visit each post and leave some love for your chance to win one of two $30 gift codes to one of the shops!  You'll find all of the details when you stop at the CAS-ual Fridays and Catherine Pooler blogs... links to those are at the top of this post!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps - Crafting of Hue Sponsorship-Coffee!

Happy weekend!  This weekend, CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is sponsoring over at the Crafting of Hue Facebook Group and we're showing off some of the awesome Coffee themed products from the shop and there's a sale!

Did you know that CAS-ual Fridays carries some fabulous Wow products in the shop now?!  Today, I used one of the Changers powders to give my background some sparkle and texture.  I started by stenciling on the background using the By The Beans stencil using those pretty Catherine Pooler Inks.  Then I added texture paste after wiping off the stencil.

I added some of the Wow Changers Lightening Effects "Texture" powder... I LOVE the effect.  The Changers are cool because you can add them to any of your other powders to change them up, but you can also use them all on their own.  This one gave a nice sugary look and feel... very cool!

I colored up the pretty flower from Mon Ami in some matching rainbow colors and added it to my To Go Cup.  And the sentiment is from Mon Ami also... and I'm sending this one to someone quite awesome!

Thanks so much for stopping!  I hope you enjoyed your visit.  All the Coffee themed products in the shop are on sale at 20% off (no code needed) AND you can use my code if you'd like (or any of the girls' codes) to get an additional 15% off or 15% off the items that aren't on sale!  Just use code Lisasentme for the 15%!
