Classy, Bubbly, Drunk

I've got some Bubbly fun for you today!

I started with a background I created with my Gel Press and the Bubbly Stencil.  I added more "bubbles" using the stencil and some gold Glitz Glitter Gel.  While that dried, I diecut a frame for the Champagne Flute from Gold Glitter Paper by using both Champaign dies together and then cut just the center of flute from vellum using the inside die.

Finally I stamped the sentiment onto a banner and popped it up over the top.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon.

You Got Rescued - A Pawesome Shaker

Hello!  Welcome back!  I created a shaker for today.  

My background was created with the Chunky Chevron stencil on my gel press with Distress Oxides.

I created a simple shaker using some Hexagon dies and some pretty colorful sequins that coordinated with the colors on the card and added pawprints I created with the Pawesome Stencil, Distress Oxides and Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel.

Finally a sentiment from Nate & Friday and done!

Fur Babies Leave Pawprints

Welcome back!  I've got a cute card for you today for a friend with a new puppy or kitten or any other adorable furry baby!

I started by blending a rainbow of Distress Oxides through the large paw heart from the Pawesome Stencil.  Then after wiping it off, I applied some Glitz Glitter Gel through it over the top.

I let it dry and stamped the sentiment from the Rainbow Bridge stamp set onto white cardstock and die cut it out with a heart die and popped it up into the center of the glittery heart.

Finally I just added a couple strips using a similarly colored plaid and popped it across the bottom of the card.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Somebunny Told Me-Box Card

Welcome back!  I've been wanting to do this for a while... that sweet bunny from the Somebunny Stamp Set has been begging to be floating high in the sky!

I used the Party Cloudy Stencil to create the rainbow.  I adhered a small scrap piece of paper to the back of the stencil using some great new tape from Thermoweb!

I blended a light pink and yellow through the stencil to create the rainbow.

Before removing the stencil, I added some Glitz Glitter Gel through the stencil and set it aside to dry before I fussy cut it out.

I used the dies from the Raindrops Duo stamp and die set to cut out a bunch of clouds in pink, white and blue to match the colors in the papers I was using.  I attached them to my box card using some clear packaging from an embossing folder I had.  I love to use packaging because it's sturdy and I can add heavier items to it like those butterfly embellishments!

I finished it up by adding a sentiment from the set to one of the flaps.  As you can see when my card closes, that balloon sticks up over the edge...lol!  But that's not unusual to me... I'll just have to use a bigger envelope...

Thanks so much for stopping!  I hope you'll come again soon!

Coffee Makes Things Okayer and the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome back!  I've got some more coffee for you today!  The Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is still going on and today is Day 6!  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is a Sponsor!

I started this one with a gel press background ... it was grungy and I decided to bling it up with some glitter paste!  The By The Beans stencil was perfect!

I cut one of my favorite cups from another piece of gel press print that I made with the Chunky Chevron stencil.  I stamped and fussy cut the sentiment from the Cup of Coffee Stamp Set and popped it up onto the cup and then popped the cup onto the card.  I embellished with some glittery hearts and foliage from my stash.

Finally, I cut my favorite word die (Breathe) from black glitter paper and popped that up at the top of the card.  It's a great reminder!

That's me for today!  Now, don't forget to play along over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog for your chances to win some great prizes!  You can find all of the details and the linkup here!

Breathe - We'll Get Through This Together!

Welcome back!  It's October and Breast Cancer Awareness month and also CAS-ual Friday Stamps birthday month!  We'll be sharing cards of hope and birthday wishes this month and I'm starting with this one... a card to let a friend know you're there for them.

I started by adding some pink clouds to a white cardstock panel using the Partly Cloudy stencil.

When the panel was filled up with clouds, I splattered some water and soaked up the extra water and then splattered some gold color shine over the top.  I layered the cloudy panel onto a pink base and then layered the two onto a white base.

Then I added some Glitz Glitter Gel through the Love Ribbon Stencil onto pink cardstock and when it was dry, I fussy cut it out.

I layered the ribbon onto the cloudy panel with foam tape and then cut the Breathe from white glitter paper using the Just Breathe die set and then twice more from white cardstock; stacked them together and popped them up over the ribbon.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from the Heart Ribbon Stamp set onto pink cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed it with White embossing powder.  A few sequins and done!

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you enjoyed it!  Come back soon for more CAS-ual Fridays Stamps inspiration!

Today's Good Mood

Hello!  Hope you enjoyed all of the new Stencil Release inspiration!  I've got some more for you today!  I used the Partly Cloudy Stencil for this Pinked Slimline coffee card!

I started by cutting the To Go Cup from white cardstock (I did end up re-cutting the wrap from vellum and decided to use that instead of the white).  I blended three colors of ink on it to create a rainbow, overlapping them so the pink and yellow made orange and the pink and blue made purple.

I used the same colors and blended the rainbow from the Partly Cloudy Stencil onto some white cardstock using a small blending brush.  I did add a purple to this one.  After blending, I added some Glitz Glitter Gel to the entire stenciled area and set it aside to dry.

Next I cut a slimline base and used the Partly Cloudy stencil to add clouds to the slimline, moving the stencil to the left and right alternately so that the clouds were not uniform.

I fussy cut the rainbow when it was dry and cut the clouds from the Raindrops Duo stamp and die set from white glitter paper.

I assembled all of my pieces and added them to the front of the card using varying thicknesses of foam tape.

I cut the largest pinked circle from the Pinked Slimline die set and stamped the sentiment from the Coffee Talk stamp set onto the top half.  Then I cut the Coffee word die from the Coffee Cup dies in black glitter and twice more from black cardstock and adhered them together and added it to the sentiment.

And that's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and I hope you enjoyed it and come again soon!

You Can't Have a Glitzy Rainbow Without A Little Gel

Hi all!  I'm sharing with you a glitzy rainbow today!  I just love the Duo's Stamp/Die Combos!  Today I used the Raindrops Duo Stamp Set along with the Scattered Showers Stencil with a bit of glitz!

I started with a mini slimline panel and sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray to keep it in place.

I chose three colors knowing that as they blended I'd have 5... the yellow and pink would make orange and the pink and blue would make purple!  So if you don't have all of the colors in the rainbow... you can still create a rainbow!

So pretty, right??

Nothing a little Glitz Glitter Gel can't make even better!  I love the Iridescent because it allows the colors beneath it to show through...

While the background dried, I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto a strip of Copic friendly paper and colored in the blocked Rainbow word.  I matted it with black.

One of the pinked circles from the Pinked Slimline die set was perfect cut in white glitter paper as an embellishment underneath the sentiment strip!  A few sequins and I was done!

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