CAS-ual Friday's Sneak Peek Day 1

Hello!  Today's sneak peek for CAS-ual Friday's new release starts off with a real bang if you ask me.  The stamp set we are sharing today is called Flower Case, and I love the sweet letters that are the perfect size for personalizing just about anything!  Take a peek at what I've created...

Isn't it so much fun!  I love that I was able to add my daugter's name right to the front of this card for her. (Not to mention how excited she was when she saw her name on it.)  To create this card I started by stamping the letters in Versamark Ink and embossing them with a glittery purple embossing powder.  Next, I added a rainbow of colors with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush.  I also painted a shadow effect with a grey color around the letters to really help the stand off the panel.  After this had dried I stamped the rest of my sentiment from the Sunbeams Stamp set and adhered it to some colored cardstock.

Make sure you hop over to the CAS-ual Friday Blog for more inspiration, peeks and a giveaway!

Happy Crafting!

Holiday Greetings: Embossing Fun!

Hello!  Today you will find me on the Mint Owl Studio Blog sharing a fun mix of embossing on a lovely Holiday card...

To create this card I started by laying the Christmas Quilt Stencil over Black cardstock and applying versa mark ink.  I then lifted the stencil and added some Wow! Embossing Powder in Cha Cha Cha. After this was heat set I adhered it to a panel of gold foil cardstock.  Next I stamped and embossed both the bird and sentiment from the Cardinal Greetings Stamp Set with a gold embossing powder.  I then adhered these to my card and ta da!

These are not typical colors I think of when creating Christmas cards, but I think it works well and really creates a rich look.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Winnie & Walter with Ellen Hutson Share the Love and More

Hello!  Today I will be popping in through out the day to share some of the projects I've created for the Winnie & Walter with Ellen Hutson Share the Love Week of Challenges.  First up is Day 1: Floral Card...

 Now I knew I wanted to use the Wild Florals Die from Essentials by Ellen, but once I went through my scrap papers I found some bright and colorful papers and it reminded me of the Gossip Column: Spectrum that was all about Rainbows, so I decided to throw the two challenges together!  I think it worked out well, and I made sure every color of the rainbow can be found on this card :).  I embossed my Winnie and Walter Sentiment from The Big, The Bold, and The Happy Stamp Set with WOW! Embossing Powder in Frozen Berries.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see you back here later for more! :)

Happy Crafting!
