CAS-ual Fridays Stamps: Calling All Sistahs!

Happy Sunday! 

Have I really not posted since November 6?! 

Sheesh, what a deadbeat! :(

Well, I'm posting today for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and Michele's new Calling All Sistahs plea. Read about it right here. Such an important reminder, and Michele has been so amazing to share during her journey.

Hugs and "squeezes" to all of you!

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS-ual Fridays & CAS-ual Chic Challenges: Precious Metals

Happy Challenge Time!

We're into Precious Metals this month at the CAS-ual Chic Challenge #05 and the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #145! 

For my CAS-ual Chic card above, I used the sentiment from the CAS-ual Fridays Lovely Greetings set and the little, multi-heart stamp from Calm and Loving. I made a heart shape by stamping the little multi heart image in Versamark around a heart die-cut from the Heart Board Fri-Dies (pretty sure a "freehand" heart would not have turned out so wel!), then embossed it in silver. I used the Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies to make little hearts from teal metal cardstock to fill in my empty spots and complete the heart shape. Got my "precious metal" in that way, too! *wink* I clear embossed the sentiment, then did a little watercoloring over top. A metal paperclip with some dyed ribbon and sequin trim added a little bling. 

For my CAS-ual Fridays card with a CAS look, I used the "Blessings" die from the Noel Fri-Dies (I'm addicted to it!), and laid it on top of watercolor paper, then sprayed Teal mist over it. I embossed a sentiment in black from the Calm and Gentle stamp set, added some black ink splotches, washi tape, and a teal metal heart from Jenni Bowlin. 

Head over to the challenges and play along with us! 

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

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps: Merry Tree!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm up today on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog, and I was feeling merry!

I used the long swoosh from the Breathe stamp set and the new Noel Fri-Dies.

I LOVE to die cut sentiments!

It was so quick and easy! 

I finished it off with some jingle bells and a ribbon bow.

Are you feeling Merry too?! 

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs & happy stamping!
