CAS-ual Fridays Christmas in July Release Party Sneak Peek Day 5

Hello everyone!! It is another day of sneak peeks from the new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps sets that will be available this Saturday, July 16, 2016 in the store.

Today I am excited to show you two cards that I created. One showcases the new "Mistletoe & Holly" set and the other is a simple card I created using the "Holly Jolly Borders" set-one of my new FAVORITES!!


For my first card, I started by stamping the mistletoe image from the "Mistletoe & Holly" stamp set onto white card stock and then coloring it in with Copic markers. 


I then stamped the sentiment from the same set under the mistletoe. Next, I adhered borders that I created using the "Holly Jolly Borders" set above in below the stamping.


To give the bow a little sparkle, I covered it with clear Wink of Stella. I also covered each of the berries on the mistletoe with Glossy Accents.


While that was drying, I stamped the background with the new "Starlequin" stamp on red card stock with black ink. I adhered the red paper to a top folding, white A2 card base. I then adhered a green patterned paper banner that I created from a scrap.


Th last step was to adhere the stamped panel onto the card front using foam adhesive. I have to say, this is one of my favorite cards that I created from this release. It all seemed to come together so easily.

For my second card, I used the new "Holly Jolly Borders" set for all the stamping.


I first stamped the sentiment border in red onto a top folding, white A2 card base. I then set it aside and stamped multiple borders in black on white card stock. I colored each of the borders in with different shades of green using Copic markers.


I adhered the green stamped panels using foam adhesive on each side of the red sentiment. To finish off the card, I placed red gems randomly in the sentiment block.

CAS-ual Friday Stamps Christmas in July Release Day 3

Hello everyone!! It is Tuesday in blog land and I am here with some more new sneak peeks for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. All stamp sets shown here will be available this Saturday, July 16, 2016 in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store. How exciting is that?

My first two cards were created with the new stamp set "Partridge in a Pear Tree."


I started off this card by stamping the large image with Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock. I then colored the image in using Copic markers. Next I covered the leaves, the bird and the bow with clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle. To make the pears stand out, I gave them a coat of Glossy Accents. I also used some Glossy Accents over the bow.


While that was drying, I layered pieces of patterned paper and card stock scraps over a top folding, Teal A2 card front. I also stamped the sentiment, also from "Partridge in a Pear Tree" in teal dye ink on a strip of white card stock.


I then layered the stamped piece over the card base using adhesive foam. The last step was to adhere the sentiment strip on top of the card.

For my second card, I combined the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Shenanigans" birthday set with "Partridge in a Pear Tree" to make a very simple birthday card.


I first stamped the present from the bottom part of the tree from the "Partridge in a Pear Tree" stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink onto white card stock. I colored in the present with Copic markers and went over it with clear Wink of Stella. To give it a bit of dimension, I used Glossy Accents over the bow and Nuvo Gloss White Crystal Drops to make the white stripes.


While the present was drying, I stamped the "celebrate" sentiment from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Shenanigans" in teal dye ink onto a ready made scalloped card front. 

When the present was dry, I fussy cut it out and then adhered it to the card front with foam adhesive. My last step was to pull it all together with a trio of pink sequins. 

My last card uses the new "Starlequin" stamp set that I combined with two other new CAS-ual Friday stamp sets-"Holly Jolly Borders" and "Mistletoe & Holly" that will be introduced further on in this release. 


I started off this card stamping a strip of kraft card stock in black with the "Starlequin" border stamp set. I then stamped a the sentiment from "Mistletoe & Holly" using a masking technique.


I adhered borders that I had stamped, colored in and cut out from the "Holly Jolly Borders" set above and below the "Starlequin" border. I then added a bit of shine with some clear Wink of Stella and blended a bit of Vintage Photo Distress ink on the edge of the entire strip. 


To complete the card, I layered the decorated kraft strip over a card front that I created using a piece of patterned paper and Distress ink. 

Aren't these new stamp sets amazing? I love that you can combine them with other sets to get some fun looks!!
