We Need Each Other

Welcome back!  Today I've used one of the sweet angel stamps from the shop, Angel Hugs, along with one of my favorite stencils, the Tin Roof Stencil.  (Bonus!  They're both on sale!  Tin Roof is on sale for 30% off and Angel Hugs is in the clearance section at 60% off!)

I started by applying some Catherine Pooler Ink in All That Jazz color through the Tin Roof Stencil onto a panel.

Then keeping it in place, I applied some translucent texture paste with a spatula and then removed the stencil and sprinkled on some Wow Gold Embossing Powder... lightly and randomly so that it didn't cover the entire panel... and heated it up.  I love the way the embossing powder bubbles on the texture paste!

Then I die cut the largest Scalloped Tag and stamped the sentiment from the Angel Hugs set in the same ink that I used on the background.  I popped the tag onto the embossed panel and then added the Angel Hugs image that I stamped, embossed in gold, colored and cut previously.

I added a few flowers I made using the 4 Petals Fri-Dies.  I love that these come with multiple dies now so it's easy to create bunches!  And there is an awesome Black Friday Sale going on this weekend!

And even better, should you decide you need something, you can get an additional 15% off of the already low marked prices by using one of the Girl Friday savings codes!  Mine is below:

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you'll come again soon for more CAS-ual Fridays inspiration!

Angels danced the day you were born!!

Hi there everybody!! It seems like FOREVER since I've been on the blog and I'm so happy to be back. With only five weeks till Christmas I bet your all racing around like me trying to get everything made, finished and posted in time for the big day. It seems to have come around extra-fast this year or maybe I say that every year.....

I have a card to share with you today using one of the New Release stamp sets and I tried something different with a background die:

 

Instead of removing all the pieces from the die-cut, I left some in to create a little frame. Background dies can be a bit pricey so I'm always looking for new ways to use them to get my money's worth!! To find out exactly how I put this card together pop over to my blog  for all the details.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you back here in a few days with a new card and tutorial!!

Take care

Shona

You can shop the entire new release today and then come back each day this week to see your new favorites in action. 

Today we are introducing 2 gorgeous 4x6 stamp sets. These sets are extra special because they were inspired by the Girl Friday team!

It started with a lovely gift I received from our social media guru Kim Klinkovsky after my dad passed. She made a necklace for me using one of the stamps I designed and attached a little guardian angel charm. That charm was the inspiration for the angels in these new sets! I needed sentiments so I asked the Girl Fridays what they thought would fit with these sweet illustrations and WOWZERs, they came up with some beautiful thoughts! I am so proud to present this collaborative ensemble of loveliness!
