CAS-ual Friday Stamps: Mums the Word

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Day Two of CAS-ual Friday Stamps April release sneak peeks!  Today we are spotlighting the set, Mums The Word.  This set has a fun solid flower bloom in 3 sizes and 7 sentiments for several occasions. 

 

 My card uses the largest and middle sized flower image and one of the sentiments cut in 1/2. I stamped the flower with various colors and fussy cut 3 of them out.  The pattern paper is from Fancy Pants and set the color palette I used.

Be sure to check out what my fellow Girl Friday Ink Squad girls have to share on the CAS-ual Friday Stamps blog, and Michele will be giving away CAS-ual Fridays Store gift certificate to one lucky commenter on the blog, so head on over!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  I'll leave you with a close up picture.

Moxie Fab speech bubble challenge

Hi everyone! Cath over on Moxie Fab World has a couple fun challenges going on right now.  I played along with the Speech Bubble challenge.  

My card uses the cutie set from Technique Tuesday called Chit Chat and some new Fancy Pants papers, Trendsetter.  The bow is made from the new Faux Canvas ribbons -love these, they are similar to seam binding ribbon, but thicker.

I love the speech bubble shapes in this set.  The hearts are my favorite.  I used a light green copic marker to highlight each heart.  I love the fresh colors in this Fancy Pants collection, so you will probably be seeing more cards using these papers.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

More Gina K samples

Hi everyone!  I have a few more cards to share from Gina K's February release.  First up is a card using the set, A Year of Flowers 2, illustrated by Melanie.  I mentioned it before, but this is my favorite flower set designed by Melanie so far.  I just love the whimsical feel to it!!

I colored the flowers very simply with a swipe of my marker on each petal and some dots of color and pearls in the center.  I love that these flowers look perfect colored all ways.  The cute papers are from the new Park Bench pad by Fancy Pants.

Next up is a card using All Occasion Tags 2, illustrated by Tami Mayberry.  The tags in this set coordinate with Spellbinders Grommet Tags.  On this card, I stamped the tag frame image and colored it in with copics then die cut it out.  The stripes in the background are a combination of papers from Seen and Noted, washi tape and cardstock.  And the hexagon embossing folder in the background is So Trendy from Spellbinders.

My first card plays along with last week's challenge from CAS(E) This Sketch.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.  I'll leave you with some close up pictures.

CAS-ual Friday Stamps: Beanstalks

Hi everyone!  Welcome to CAS-ual Friday Stamps February sneak peeks!  I am thrilled to be guest designing and joining Michele, her team and fellow guest designer, Glenda this month.  I really love Michele's designs and have been a fan since her first release last October.  I also had the pleasure of meeting her at CHA and have to say, she is as nice as she is beautiful!  Am I right?!?

Here is a picture of Michele with me and Glenda at CHA

Today we are peeking the set, Beanstalks.  This is a set of 5 images and 4 sentiments and is my favorite set of the release!  I know you will love it too!  I stamped the sentiment and leaves flourish and colored them with a Copic marker.  The fun, bright papers are from Fancy Pants, The Good Life 6x6 pad.

I even busted out some oldie but goodie felt flowers from my stash.  The pale green flower is actually white colored with the same Copic marker as the leaves.

Be sure to check out what Glenda has made and the Girl Fridays have samples to share on the CAS-ual Friday Stamps blog (not to be confused with the CAS-ual Friday challenge which is a different blog).  And as always, Michele will be giving away Beanstalks to one lucky commenter on the CAS-ual Friday Stamps blog, so head on over!!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come by again tomorrow where we will peek the set, Breathe!  I'll leave you with a close up picture.

BellaRiffic Friday challenges

Hi everyone!  I have a couple Stamping Bella cards to share with you today.  As you may know, Stamping Bella is now a SCS member company and they have challenges posted every week.  

This card is for Week 5 challenge, Anything Goes meaning you can use any Stamping Bella image.  I used the Daisybella image, doesn't she look great in her jeans and tee shirt?  I used the little flower dies from the Home Sweet Home set like I did with this card.  The pattern paper is Vanity Fair by MME.

 This card is for the Week 4 challenge, to make a Valentine's card.  This card uses the retired Balloonbella and a computer generated sentiment.  I added some crystal effects on the balloons and the pattern paper is Love Story from Fancy Pants.  OK, I don't proclaim to be a great colorer, so PLEASE don't study the coloring on her dress too carefully.  Especially if you look at some of the great colorers out there like the Stamping Bella DT or my BFF, Michele Boyer!  Now, they have skillz!

That's it for today.  Got lots on my plate as my oldest Daniel turns 8 tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
