Simple Elegance with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hi everyone!! It is my turn over at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog with a monochromatic card I created using supplies I had from my stash. I tend to watch videos on products and then never use them. I created a step by step over on the blog on using Nuvo Crackle Mousse, paired with CAS-ual Fridays Modern Petals Stencil (one of my all time favorite stencils!) and the Foxy stamp set.


Hop on over to my post to see how I created my simple card!!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Congratulations Card for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hello everyone!! Happy Hump Day!!

Today it is my turn for some CAS-ual Fridays Stamps inspiration. I used two of the new stamp sets from the March release to created a Congratulations card.


I started off by stamping a border using the "Modern Petals" stamp set with oxide ink on black card stock. I spritzed a bit of water onto the the card and then used a heat tool to dry it. I did not get the effect that I wanted so I then used white and silver mist and basically threw it over the card front.


While that was drying, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the "So Pretty" stamp set on a white card stock strip.


I then mounted it over a piece of silver Washi tape on the top of the black card front using foam adhesive.


My last step was to add a star that I had on my desk that was cut out using the CAS-ual Fridays "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies." I have to say that lately, this die set has been my favorite for little additions to my cards!!


I added a few dots of silver glitter glue to finish the card off. While the oxide treatment didn't go as planned, I like the way the card came out. I have a particular friend that has some great stuff going for him lately and I want him to know how happy I am for him.

Playing along with the As You See It Challenge #147

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." Crickets have taken over my blog of late. A lot of personal stuff has taken over my crafting time so my blog has suffered the last two weeks. When I have had time, my mojo has seemed to disappear. I know we all go through it but it is so annoying!!

I had a little time to actually play yesterday and made two different cards for the "As You See It Challenge #147." I used the sketch and pulled from the pile on my desk for the first card.


The sketch that I pulled this from is below. There is also a kind of "theme" to go with it to interpret the sketch: Lacey and Lovely. It is up to you to interpret what goes across the top-lace or patterned paper?


I chose yellow gingham patterned paper as the large panel that goes partially across the top. This was actually my second choice. I first used a stencil and stenciled some lace BUT as it often is with me, I messed up and went out of the lines. So my second choice was my yellow paper. It went well with the yellow flower and was a good contrast to the red.


I added a vellum die cut underneath the circle for some intent and instead of stamping a sentiment underneath the patterned paper, I stamped it ON the paper. I just couldn't find a sentiment that looked good in the space underneath.


The stamp I used is "Beautiful Bouquet: Ranunculus" from WPlus9 and colored in with Zig Clean Color markers.  I have a love/hate relationship with these markers as I cannot seem to make them work like other people do. I added a layer of Spectrum Noir Sparkle over the top. The sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink's "Pretty Peonies" set (retired).



I loosely used the sketch for the second card. I also used a card by my CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Design Team Mate, Shona Chambers, as inspiration. When I saw her black and white card I was blown away!!


I used CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Modern Petals" stamp in blue as my focal point for this card. I knew when I saw Shona's card that I wanted to use blue ink for my version.


I also decided to use the sentiment as my focal point. I used Simon Says Stamps "You Matter" stamp set and matching die for the sentiment. The added touch of red really popped off the blue.


I also covered the die cut with Glossy Accents to give it a bit of shine. I also stamped a matching envelope. I did not line it up as well as the card but kind of like the look. I added some Nuvo Crystal drops in the middle of the flowers on the envelope in red to match the red on the card.

I thank you for stopping by today. I hope your day is as beautiful as mine has been!!
