Friend, with a Bonus!

Today I am working with the Blossom Bubble Stencil from CAS-ual Fridays.

I used a few Distress inks for my sponging of the image, and used the (triple layered) Sweet Friend Fri-Die, along with a sentiment from the Floating stamp set.

Yep, I am happy with this card! I got a bonus from it too. When I went to clean the stencil [spraying with water] I thought, hmm, I can get another card panel from this!

I almost like this better then the original card! :) [It's waiting to be made into a card]. I really like the effect of the negative stenciling. Sometimes good surprises happen~~

That's it for me today. Remember, if you use my code below, you can save an additional 15% off your purchase. Michele has lowered the Sale Category to pennies (well really cheap anyway), and yes, my code works on those prices too! I just love a great sale.

Thanks for stopping by~

Thinking of you friend

It's the middle of the week and most of us are still searching for Spring...anybody know where it might be hiding??

Vicki has created a wonderful friendship card today that is full of spring prettiness. She got inky with our Pretty Posies stamp set.

Using the Posies Fri-Dies she created a flower embellishment and placed her stamped sentiment over it.

But wait, there's more! She also added a Friend Fri-Die cut to finish it off!

We've got a really fun weekend in store for you! Be sure to come back on Friday :)

September 26

Happy Sunday!

Wow!

I had an incredible weekend in Greenwood Village, CO

at the Stamp & Scrap Papercrafts Expo!

I met some of the nicest cardmakers and scrapbookers

and we really had a great time.

A special thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth

and took some CAS-ual Fridays home with them :)

Girl Friday Lydia

has cooked up a fantastical card for you today.

She used Friend Fri-Dies with a sentiment from Girlfriend

and a very cool die cutting technique

She combined positive and negative die cuts!

I love that she cut the word from a circle and let the negative be.

Then she added the positive bits to start and finish the word.

Awesome!!

Love this to pieces!

Day 2 of the Girlfriend Collection Release

Welcome to Day 2 of the Girlfriend Collection Release!

Yesterday we brought you amazing eye candy,

the backstory on this amazing collection,

a chance to win it

and the promise that we'd be back again today with more!

Let's get to it, shall we?

The Girl Fridays totally knocked my socks off with today's creations.

Their use of color, technique and downright creative die usage is incredible!

Angie stamped Curtis Background and then trimmed it into strips to get a fun random panel for her Friend die cut.

I'm loving the white embossed Curtis Background stamped on the Scallop Tag Fri-Dies. Then, Archana inlaid some of the flowers from Friendly Flowers for extra POW power.

Jingle has a few Friendly Flowers stems used in a fun graphic way, and she trimmed the bottoms of one of the tags to get a cool border too!

Joanna blew me away with the fabulous negative die cut pattern she created using Friendly Flowers.

Julia got creative and turned one of the Tag Buddies upside down to create a tulip!

The Sassy Smile stamp is a fabulous companion to this awesome new collection!

Kelly created a flower by using Friend as a stem, and cutting her cute petals using our Pinecone Fri-Die!

This card makes me so happy seeing a big ol' Curtis Background drizzled up in color and white embossed. Love!

Ohmygawsh!

There are so many things I want to try now!

Day 1 of the Girlfriend Collection Release

Welcome to the release of the Girlfriend Collection!!

This release has been a loooong time coming

and I am soooo excited to finally bring it to you!

Many of you have been waiting for these stamps and dies since you first saw them

in the inaugural edition of Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval Box about 6 months ago.

The wait is nearly over!!

Today and tomorrow,

the Girl Fridays will show you how much fun these stamps and dies are to play with,

I'll give you some of the backstory on the collection

and then on Wednesday,

I'll press the magic button and release them on the website :)

These stamps and dies are really fun and work so well together.

Let's see some eye candy!

Kelly simply stamped the Tag Buddy.

I love the little border strip of Curtis Background!

Gosh I love how she used Friendly Flower Fri-Dies to create that fabulous bloom!

And the stamped blooms in the background peeking over the Love Ya strip are too cute!

Archana used the stamps and dies together to create this darling card.

I really like how she offset the panel and added stitching.

Love the bottom border Jingle created!

Curtis Background is a big stamp but you don't always have to use all of it :)

Joanna's got a video on her blog to show you how she created this sparkly Friend card!

Angie curved the sentiments to give a fun motion and I adore how she layered 2 of the tags!

And this one from Julia makes me smile really big.

I love the little trail of dots and gems she cascaded across the panel

and the fun striped die cut. Awesome!

See what I mean?!

I just love this collection and I think it might be one of my most favorite that I've ever done!

So what you may or may not know

is that I designed this collection with Catherine in mind.

She and her friendship were my inspiration.

She happened to be here in Denver filming for Craftsy and we met for dinner.

It was our first real life meeting and it was like we were old friends just picking up where we'd last left off. She told me about her idea for her SOA box and I thought it sounded amazing.

(I was right, her Stamp of Approval boxes are absolutely off the chain!)

That night I went home and

I thought about the things we talked about

and my creative wheels began to spin.

The very next morning I texted her a screenshot of the Girlfriend stamps

which was inspired by her website logo.

Girlfriend 4 x 6 stamp set $15.00

And then later that next day, she posted a picture of a pattern she fell in love with at the Curtis Hotel

on a pillow or a curtain or something,

and I took one look at it and said "that's my logo deconstructed!"

It took me about 4 minutes to create Curtis Background.

Curtis Background $15.00

2 stamp sets in 2 days!

I will tell you that is my personal creative record as it usually takes me about 2 weeks or longer to design a single set.

and then Catherine asked...can you do some dies to go with?

My response? But of course!

I love dies that can be used completely independent of the stamps so

I created the Friend and Love Ya dies to do just that.

They of course coordinate with the Girlfriend stamps but you'll find that you can use them with so many other things in your stash too.

Friend Fri-Die $9.50 Love Ya Fri-Die $9.50

The Friendly Flower Fri-Dies follows the same concept.

You can certainly use them to just create an outline of a stamped image

or you can really have some fun and use the individual components to mix and match

into your own beautiful blooms.

It's a 6 die set that will cut 7 images

Friendly Flowers Fri-Dies $15.00

and last but not least, Tag Buddies because tags are just plain fun!

3 great tag shapes that you'll be able to use with anything

and for anything!!

Tag Buddies $20.00

I appreciate you all spending time here with me during my release week

so one of you is going to win this collection valued at $84

and you'll have 2 chances to be that lucky somebody!!
