CAS-ual Fridays Stencil Release - Jewish Stars Stencil!

Welcome back!  It's Day 2 of Stencil Release over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!  Today we're sharing projects using the new Jewish Stars Stencil!

I used the stencil to create a strip of stars by applying some Deco Foil Transfer Gel through the stencil and when it was dry running it through the Minc with some pink Deco Foil.

Then I cut the Star of David from pink cardstock with the smaller star placed inside the large star and then adhered all of the pieces in place for an inlaid look and popped it up onto the card.

I embossed the sentiments from the Mazel Tov Stamps and fussy cut the Mazel Tov! sentiment and popped it up over the star and cut the "Be Blessed" sentiment into a strip and popped it up on the bottom.

 

A Sparkly Happy Hanukkah with CAS-ual Fridays!

Wecome!   I'm up on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog today with this one.  It is the holiday season and I thought I'd share with you a quick (and quite sparkly) shaker using some of the vast array of Judaica themed stamp and die products in the CAS-ual Fridays shop!

Have you seen the awesome A2 panels from CAS-ual Fridays?  This is the Stars A2 Panel and I love that it covers the entire front of an A2 card just like the Hearts and Flakey A2 Panel Fri-Dies!  So quick and easy to create a shaker (or not!).

Just cut an A2 Panel, adhere some acetate to the entire back and add foam tape around the outside.  All that's left to do is choose your "filling" and pop it over the top!  I mixed up some of my sequins and beads from my stash and added a few of the glitter paper Star of David cuts that were left after cutting out the panel.

I added my sentiment using the Star of David Fri-Die as a backdrop and then cut the Happy Hanukkah from white cardstock three times and stacked them for dimension.  It also helps the sentiment to stand out against that busy backdrop.

I always add a few sequins to the front... as if they've escaped!

I've got lots of sparkle on this one and I'm playing along over at Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge, Lets Sparkle!

And that's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit!  And don't forget to visit the CAS-ual Fridays shop for all of your Hanukkah and Judaica themed crafty items ... and then some!

I have this for you if you'd like it!

Hope you'll come again soon!

A Simple Inlaid Design For a Feminine Bat Mitzvah Card

Welcome back!  For today I used a very simple Inlaid technique to create this feminine card for a Bat Mitzvah or other special occasion.

I used just a handful of supplies including the Mazel Tov Stamp Set (which is out of stock right now, but more are coming soon!), the Star of David Fri-Dies, and some pretty papers and flowers from my stash (of course I used plaid!)

To create my inlaid Star of David, I cut apart the dies and then placed the two star dies, one inside the other and used some washi tape to hold them down before I ran them through my Gemini.

Then I cut large star from the same pink color and the smaller star from some orangey sorbet cardstock.  I set aside the inside pieces of the orangey star since I wouldn't need them.

Then I glued my pieces onto the large star like a puzzle.  Having the larger die in a solid form allowed me a nice base to glue my pieces down.  Easy peasy!  And if I don't have a solid piece to use as a base, I simply put my pieces together upside down and tape them down as I go.  If you don't want to pop up your image at all, it's much easier because you can just assemble your pieces right on your card base!  But it's a rare day that I do that... I loves my pop-up tape!

I did pop up my Star of David and then added this sentiment in such a pretty font to a strip of white cardstock and popped it up across the star.  Next I cut some of the small and smaller stars that come in the Star of David die set from brushed gold foiled cardstock to use as embellishments and added them along with those pretty flowers.  For this my new Fine Point Tweezers available in the Cas-ual Fridays shop were perfect!  It made it so easy to pick up those teeny tiny pretty gold stars and place them exactly where I wanted them!  I'm in love with these tweezers.  I mean I have two other pair of tweezers, but nothing compares to these for this kind of fine work!

And at the bottom I added the Mazel Tov greeting embossed in gold.  You may or may not know that Cas-ual Fridays has a wide array of awesome Judaica and Hanakkuh stamps and dies and you can find them here!

So there you have it... a pretty easy inlaid design and a card that could be used for a few different occasions!
