Affogato Your Birthday

Yesterday was National Coffee Day and tomorrow is International Coffee Day.  I thought I'd celebrate a bit with a coffee card.  And the Coffee'isms stamp set that I used for that sentiment is in the shop at a deeply discounted price .. as are the Heart Note Dies that I used today.

As you know, the shop is closing soon and there are currently very limited items left and all are on clearance at a price that you just can't say no to!

It's a bittersweet day.  This will be my last post for CAS-ual Fridays.  But there are many CFS products that will stay in my stash for always because I just love them.  These are a few of the items I won't be able to let go of.

I've really enjoyed creating for Michele and helping her show off her products each month.  Thank you Michele for being one of the first to have faith in me and love what I do and thank you for all of your fun and sassy crafty stamps and dies and stencils over the years.  Onward!

Before I go, I'll share some things I made using some of the products left in the shop.  Don't miss out!

These Flower Stamps and that Falling Leaves Stencil.

Here are all of the Heart Note Dies and I used the Snowflake Stencil on the background.

I used the Heart Ribbon Stencil for this one and fussy cut it out.

I used the Partly Cloudy Stencil for that rainbow and those clouds...

And the Heart Ribbon Stamps for this one.

All of the items I've mentioned and linked to here as of the writing of this post are still available in the shop at a deep discount along with a handful of other items... get them while you can!  And over there you'll find more inspiration for each one.

Thank you for all of your visits and the love over the years!  I had a lot of fun and I'll be seeing you all around the Interwebs!

Hoppy Birthday

Hello, it's Michelle here today sharing a quick birthday card.

I've used the Somebunny Stamp Set along with the Partly Cloudy Stencil.

I started by stamping the bunny with the balloon onto some Neenah Solar White card stock and did some quick coloring with Copics. I made a mask to cover up the bunny and stenciled the clouds with some Catherine Pooler ink.  I added the card panel onto a top folding card with some foam tape.

Look for the Rainbow!

Hi everyone, it's Michelle here today sharing  a few rainbow cards.

With everything going on in the world today I thought we could all do with looking at some pretty rainbow colors.

For my first card I've used the Partly Cloudy Stencil and Catherine Pooler inks from the Party Collection.  I added some glitter to the rainbow to make it sparkle!  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Raindrops Duo set.  You could also color in the word Rainbow on the sentiment but I decided to keep it simple.

For my second card I've used the Scattered Showers Stencil and the same sentiment.  This time I colored in the Rainbow sentiment.

Hope - I'm here for You

Hi All - it's Vicki, from All I Do Is Stamp.  Wow!  It's been a minute since I "missed" a post.  Normally, I might be 3 weeks out for the cards I design.  Today it was due, and I had not created a card!  I jumped into my stamp room, and got to it!

While I don't "need" this card at this time, for me, being prepared is a good thing.  [I would have no problem not using this card though - just sayin.]

I do love a good rainbow [a sign of good things to come] - so I grabbed the Partly Cloudy Stencil, some inks and blending brushes, and stenciled away.  When I stencil, I start at the top and work my way down.  How do you use a stencil?

I used the Hope Ribbon Stamp set [and the Ruffled Ribbon Die] and kept it simple with just black ink.  I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set, and this mini slimline card is complete.

I do think a rainbow is rather a perfect background for a cancer card.  Full of hope :)  See you in a couple of weeks~

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!

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!

Rainbow Cloud Background

Hello, it's Michelle here today sharing a card I made using the new Partly Cloudy Stencil and Little Birdies stamp set.

I love this stencil so much and I can't wait to play some more with it!  I thought the clouds would be a perfect background for the Little Birdies.

  I started by stenciling various colors of Catherine Pooler Inks trying to stick to the colors of the rainbow.  Next I stamped and die cut the Little Birdies and colored them in with some alcohol markers and pencils.  I adhered the birdies to my background piece using some foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white card stock and adhered that with foam tape tucking it under the birdies feet.

Thanks for visiting and I hope I have inspired you to have some fun with rainbow colors.
