Time Out Challenges #83, Happy Little Stampers May Challenge: Anything Goes with Dies and a Card for As You See It Challenge #149

Happy Monday!! Just popping in with two cards that I created this weekend for three challenges.

I made this first card for a co-worker who had surgery last week.


The inspiration for this card was Hannelie's card from Time Out Challenges #83. I mimicked her blending that she did on her card and used black and white flowers like she did.



I am also playing with Happy Little Stampers May: Anything Goes With Dies.


I used a dies by PaperTrey Ink for the frame and the stamped flowers.


A little simpler then my usual style but I like how it came out. I also used some scraps up, like the frame, that I had die cut to make sure the die worked. Am I crazy for doing that?


I will be sending this card out with some magazines and a GC for iTunes as a little pick me up.

My second card I created for "As You See It Challenge #149." I flipped the sketch below for my card.


And here is my creation:


The three elements are the hedgehog, the tree stump and the mushroom together. I know this is a bit of a stretch but it is "as you see it!"


I used used Distress Ink in two colors for the blended background. Instead of a banner, I used a die cut word covered in clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle and Glossy Accents.

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

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sneak Peek Day Four and Release Day!

Hello everyone!! Today the new release from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps goes live!!! However, I have one last sneak peek to share with you.

Today I am excited to showcase two new stamp sets-"Full on Floral" and "Daisy Chains"- from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

On the first project, I used the new "Full on Floral" stamp to create the background on a card.


I started out by stamping in persimmon ink on a white, A2 card base. I then layered a piece of matching card stock over the stamping-using just a paper cutter to make it this wonky shape.


Next I stamped the sentiment in the same ink color from "Franklyisms" on the corner of a white piece of card stock. I used my paper cutter to make it a bit smaller then the persimmon card stock and adhered it over it so that the red/orange paper was peeking out from the bottom.


My last step was to adhere some matching sequins around the sentiment. 

Here is a peek at the stamp:


I LOVE this fun background and plan to make a set of cards to give to one of my friends for her birthday using some of the fun new sentiments from this release.

On my next card I used the new "Daisy Chain" stamp set. 


I started off my card stamping one of the borders onto a white piece of card stock in different colors of ink.


I made sure that when I changed each color, I moved the border over so that the bottom of the flowers tucked in to an empty space that was left from the one below it. I then stamped the sentiment from "Heartfelt Sayings" in black ink.


I used the smallest tag from "Tag Buddies" to cut out the sentiment. I layered the white base over some brown card stock. 


I wrapped the tag with some jute and used foam adhesive to make it pop off the white panel. 


The last step was to adhere some sequins in matching colors over the card. 

That is all from me today. All the new stamps that were showcased in my last four posts are available at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Shop starting today!! Want a discount? Use my code nora2017 to get 15% off your total order!!
