CAS-ual Fridays August Release - Nate & Friday

Here we are, the last day of project shares using the new CAS-ual Fridays August release!   Today the design team has lots of fun projects to share using the new Nate & Friday stamp set!

This set is so cute, and it has some of the most awesome sentiments for dog lovers!   Warm snuggles and slobbery kisses?   Who could resist?!

I created the blue background panel by masking off the edges of a piece of bristol cardstock with 1/4" painters tape.   I blended shades of blue Distress Oxide inks across the panel, then added stenciled hearts in the darkest blue ink.  I stamped and heat embossed that fantastic sentiment in white.   I stamped the sweet pup and fussy cut him out and added him to the top of the card.   

That's all for today.  I hope you've enjoyed checking out the design team's projects using the new August release! Be sure to stop by the CAS-ual Fridays blog for a chance to win an awesome prize!!   The new release is in available the store now, and you can use my discount code, KIMBERLYSENTME, to save 15% on the new release as well as all of the goodies in the CFS shop!    Happy shopping!

CAS-ual Fridays August Release - Bushy Tailed

Are you ready for another project using one of the brand new stamp/die sets from the CAS-ual Fridays August release?!   

    

Today the design team is sharing projects using the super cute new Bushy Tailed stamp set.   This set has coordinating Fri-dies as well!   

I colored the little raccoon with Copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut him out.   I used an X-acto knife to cut around his little paws so that I could slip the heart die cut (also part of the set) into his paws!  I set the scene with some die cuts from MFT.

That's all for today.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for one more day of inspiration using the new August release! And be sure to stop by the CAS-ual Fridays blog for a chance to win an awesome prize!!   The new release is in the store RIGHT NOW, and you can use my discount code, KIMBERLYSENTME, to save 15% on the new release as well as all of the goodies in the CFS shop!    Enjoy!

CAS-ual Fridays August Release - Foxy

Hello again!  Welcome back for day two of inspiration with the new CAS-ual Fridays August release!   

Today we are sharing projects using my FAVORITE stamp set from the new release - Foxy!  Isn't this set awesome?!   It combines adorable and elegant so well!

 Because Foxy is just so elegant, I wanted to stamp him in gold.   I used my MISTI and first stamped him in brown ink.   Next I colored him in with Prismacolor pencils.   Once he was all colored in, I stamped again with Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.   I find it easier to color before I heat emboss - then I don't have to struggle getting the color in all of the tight spots!

That's all for today, but be sure to come back tomorrow for some more inspiration using the new August release! And be sure to stop by the CAS-ual Fridays blog for a chance to win an awesome prize!!   If you just can't wait to go shopping, the new release is in the store RIGHT NOW!    And you can use my discount code, KIMBERLYSENTME, to save 15% on the new release as well as all of the goodies in the CFS shop!    Enjoy!

CAS-ual Fridays August Release - Be A Unicorn

Hi there!   It's time to start showcasing CAS-ual Fridays fabulous August release!    First up, the design team has projects to share using the "Be a Unicorn" stamp set and the "Unicorn" Fri-Die!

I started by creating an alcohol inked card panel.   Next I die cut just half of the unicorn from the alcohol inked piece.   I stamped the unicorn in the negative space with Versamark ink, then heat embossed with a beautiful WOW embossing glitter.   I colored the unicorn in with a white Prismacolor pencil.   To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink onto the alcohol ink panel and heat embossed with a silver embossing powder.   (Be warned - when heat embossing on Yupo paper, you have to be VERY careful not to melt the paper.   Go at it slowly!)

I couldn't just throw out that partial unicorn I die cut from the alcohol ink panel, so I made a second quick and easy card by just adding some glitter to the unicorn's horn and adhering it to a white card panel.   I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with purple embossing powder.  

That's all for today, but be sure to come back tomorrow for some more inspiration using the new August release! And be sure to stop by the CAS-ual Fridays blog for a chance to win an awesome prize!!   If you just can't wait to go shopping, the new release is in the store RIGHT NOW!    And you can use my discount code, KIMBERLYSENTME, to save 15% on the new release as well as all of the goodies in the CFS shop!    Enjoy!

Spiffy Borders!

Hi guys!   Just popping in today with a cheery birthday card.    The new Spiffy Spots stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs is just so darn versatile!    Here I've used it to create a border for my sentiment.   I just repeatedly stamped a few of the images with Catherine Pooler inks (they're so nice & vivid!), not worrying too much when they overlapped.   The sentiment is from Hand Drawn Happiness!

I hope you've enjoyed my card today!    Just another fun way to use the new Spiffy Spots stamp set.   Take care and happy crafting!
