Girl Friday Lydia

has worked her magic for you!

She created a wonderful pink blended ombre background

and then added Mon Ami and Casual Comfort foliage,

and a wonderful sentiment from In The Cards.

These sets and more are available at a special savings

during October, our birthday month!

And mark your calendars to join us

October 17th for the kickoff of our October release!

Happy Tuesday!

Prepare to be amazed!

Girl Friday Deepti is in the house 

with 2 completely phenomenal cards.

She used a whole lotta stamps on these so we'll list them all at the end of the post.

Wow! right?!

Just take a minute to look at it, cuz it's really fun to look at! 

It's spectacular!

Deepti took the time to jot down some notes on how she put this clever and oh so cool card together.

• I took a panel of white card stock slightly smaller than the width of the card base.
• I used a compass and a scale to mark the circles of differing radius and radial lines intersecting them.
• Next I used these circles and lines as guidelines to place the sentiment stamps in circular fashion and stamp them
• I stamped the whole panel likewise and added some stars and dots for more interest.
• I added an inked die cut heart as the focal point 
• Finally I adhered a patterned paper panel on card base and laid the stamped panel over it with some foam adhesive

How pretty and cool is this?! 

I love the way the colors move through the design. 

here are some notes from Deepti on how she did this...

• I did some simple stamping of the sentiments in monotones like black and grey
• and to add interest into the design, I stamped the single sentiment in Neon inks.
• I added Neon inks one after the other on the stamp, overlapping them on each other and then stamping the sentiment on the card base
• I did the same for the pattern stamp images.
• To finish the card I added some patterned paper and adhered the stamped panel with some foam dots.

Happy Monday!

Last month, Girl Friday Kelly 

shared beautifully scrapbooked recipes. 

Today she is back with more!!

As a gift for family members getting married, 

Kelly creates these loving family recipe pages complete with 

family memories. 

I can't tell you how much I love this idea! 

It's a real treat for me to see CAS-ual Fridays on these fabulous pages. 

Here she's used our Bubble Labels Fri-Dies and 

filled them with sentiments from our Mwah and 3 In a Row sets.  

She embossed them in white on vellum to keep the cloud look 

and added the outline with white gel pen.

I really love how she stamped the heart over and over to get that stamped off look 

to create the sun that she then added gold pipe cleaner to. 

Here she used our Stalk Up Fri-Dies to add fun borders to the photos.

I really love how she used the long leaf from Mon Ami to stamp and color

the banner looking border for her Lovely Greetings sentiment panel.

A great tip from Kelly to get long lasting dimension 

is to cut the same die cut from chipboard and back your pretty image with that.

It give you lift that will last!
