CAS-ual Friday Stamps: Happiness

Happy Saturday!

I'm up today on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog, yay!

It seemed like the perfect time to think Easter and Spring

since we are finally getting some nice weather in Dallas!

I used the Oval Tag Fri-Dies to make the eggs (just snip off the tag hole at one end), then heat embossed them with white embossing powder using the vine stamp from Casual Elegance. The sweet little "Happiness" sentiment is from the Casual Comfort stamp set. 

I made the "grass" by snipping some fun washi tape, layering lots of little bits of it. If you're wondering how the "blades of grass" are not getting stuck down (yes, that happened at first! lol!), I sprinkled it with baby powder. The tape lost its sticky side, and bonus, it's super soft and smells great! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release #2: Twinkle & Stars!

Happy Friday!

I'm back with another new release from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! Yay!

Today we have the Twinkle stamp set and Star Fri-Dies!

They're are available and ready in the store right now!

You'll find so many ways to use this awesome stamp and matching dies!

For my card above, I watercolored the background then stamped the largest star 3 times (it's so easy to line up) and embossed in gold. And isn't that sentiment great?! Heavens to murgatroyd! CFS might just bring it back...for those of you who didn't grow up with it, ahem.

For my card below, I found the perfect background paper to let the star shine!

I die cut the medium star in shimmery silver glitter paper and stamped the sentiment on tissue paper to give it a "cloudy" feel.

Be sure and head over the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog to check out all the different ways the design team used the Twinkle stamp set and Stars Fri-Dies. Lots of creativity!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release #1: Happy Mail

Hi ya! I'm so excited to share a new stamp and die release from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps that is available right now! Whoo! Hoo!

Meet the new Happy Mail stamp set and Mailbox Fri-Dies!

There are so many possibilities with this fun new set!

For my first card, above, I paired the Mailbox Fri-Die with some cityscape patterned paper. They were meant to go together, right?! For my card below, I paired the Happy Mail stamp set with some appropriate map paper for sending "smiles across the miles". Isn't that a great sentiment?! It'd be perfect to stamp on a matching envelope too!

Please head over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog to check out a TON of brilliant inspiration from the rest of the design team. The girls created some beautiful "scenic" cards that blew me away! I'll be back tomorrow with another new release you won't want to miss!
