CAS-ual Friday Stamps: Exclamations


Hi everyone!  Welcome to the first day of CAS-ual Friday Stamps March release sneak peeks!
 Today we are spotlighting the set, Exclamations.  This set has 7 playful sentiments and 3 sizes of an asterisk image.  
 My card uses one of the sentiments and I paired it with the flower blossom from Loving Thoughts.  I stamped the flower several times in different colors and fussy cut out the layers.  The cute zig-zag rhinestones are from Want2Scrap.  So fun for an ah-mazing card!

Be sure to check out what my fellow Inksquad girls have samples 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.

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.

Hot hot hot- with a heart

Hi everyone!  I got some new goodies in the mail and just couldn't wait to play!  When I first saw the adorable coffee stamp set, Hot Hot Hot by Fresh Squeezed Stamps, I instantly fell in love.  I love all things coffee, so this was an easy purchase for me.  I finally gave in to the Studio Calico wood veneer craze and bought some Stars, Arrows, Hearts, Alphas and Hexagons (all purchased at Simon Says Stamp)!  Add in the new My Mind's Eye Collectable collection, some Pebbles papers and I am one happy lady!

 This card uses the tall latte cup image, 2 veneer hearts, an alpha veneer and papers from the Pebbles Seen and Noted 6x6 pad.  How fun are the colors in these papers?
 This card is for the Simon Says Stamp challenge, Have a Heart.  I have never played along with their challenges before, but they are now a Member Company on SCS and I thought I would make some time to play along!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back on Monday where I will have a special post!!  I'll leave you with a close up picture.
