It's Your Birthday

Hi All, it's Vicki here today with a fun birthday card. I used a few products [differently], which is always fun - getting more use out of a product!

Let's start with the basics; this is a 5x5 card, and the layered panel is a 4.25x4.25 size.  I used one of the circle dies from the Pinked Slimline Die Set to cut out the center.  [Unfortunately, these are no longer available, so basically any die would work].  I cut a 3x3 piece of card stock, and water colored some stripes, let it dry, and adhered it to the back of the card layer.

Using another die from the Slimline Die Set, I cut a circle, and using the Heart Note Die, I cut off the heart and adhered it on to the circle die cut, along with a pearl from my stash.  I used the Stars A2 Panel Die to get the 2 stars that I adhered onto a tiny strips of white card stock.  Lastly, I used a sentiment from Whole Shebang Stamp Set.

That's it for today's card.  Don't forget, you can save 15% off your purchase - even the sale and clearance sections! [There really are some amazing prices!]

Make a Wish

Hi All it's Vicki here, from All I Do Is Stamp, today. I am happy to share my card. I had so much fun making this card, and, I used a few stamps sets to do it!

I started with a [self made] mini slimline card base, and put it in my MISTI.  Being careful to line it up against the edge, I stamped the first make a wish from Shenanigans.  I moved the base down by 1" [in my MISTI] and re-stamped the rest of the line up.

Once that was done, I had a little to much space in between the stamping so I grabbed the heart from Sassy Smiles Duo, and stamped that the same way. I still felt I had to much open space, so I grabbed the its your birthday... sentiment from Whole Shebang, and stamped that down the card.

Using WTF2, I used the [cut it apart] HB and stamped that on a separate card strip and adhered it in the center, after drawing a self frame. 

 I enjoyed making this card - I hope you enjoyed seeing it!

Happy Birthday to You

 Hi All, Vicki here today from All I Do Is Stamp.

Have you ever stamped your own background? While I don't do it often, I did do it for today's card. I went with a totally different color combo for me.  That said, I am loving these colors together!  I used the Jewish Star Stencil to sponge my background.  I added some stamped Pretty Posies flowers, and lastly, I used the tiny flower from Sassy Smiles, stamped as a filler.

I used the [so fun] Whole Shebang stamp set for the sentiment.  [On a side note, I really love how you can use embossing powder with Versafine ink.  Makes it all pretty and shiny ;)]

That's it for me today.  I'll be back in a couple of weeks.

Get Your Happy On With Alcohol Inks and Foil

Hello!  Welcome back!  I've got another one like the Champagne Flutes from last time and I'm sharing with you how I created it using a panel that didn't turn out as I'd hoped, but I decided it was perfect for die cutting flowers!

I started by covering a panel of EVO synthetic paper with alcohol inks.

I used the Bold Flower stencil to add some Reactive Paint to the panel and let it dry for a few hours and then ran it through the Minc with some purple foil.

Well, I'm not sure if I didn't let them dry long enough or if it is something else, but the foil stuck to more than just the painted area.  Not one to give up, I decided it would make some pretty flowers.  So I took out my 4 Petal dies and cut a few.

Then I die cut a panel of white cardstock and created a dragonfly shaped window using the coordinating die from the Everyday Dragonfly set.

I added foam tape to the back of the windowed panel and popped it onto a purple background.  Then I added all of my 4 petal die cuts in the center along with some sequins to fill up the open areas.

I added some iridescent gems to the center of the flowers and finally, a sentiment from the Whole Shebang stamp set and done.

That's me for today!  Hope you enjoyed my mistake.  I'll keep working on the foil and alcohol ink/stencil/panel thing, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying playing with these "mistakes".

Hope you'll come again soon for more CAS-ual Fridays Stamps inspiration!

Two Foiled Backgrounds From One Foil Sheet!

Welcome back!  Lisa here and I've got some Deco Foil fun today using the new Bubbly Stencil and Rainbow Deco Foil!

I started by applying some Deco Foil Transfer Gel through the bubbly Stencil onto a white cardstock panel.  Once it was dry, I laid a sheet of rainbow foil over the top and ran it through my Minc.  I love that when you use foil on a background like this you are left with a cool negative space.  I always save them because all you need is some Toner Sheets and you can lay the negative space sheet over it and run it through the Minc and it's a whole different look!

Here are my two panes I was left with.  I layered the original onto a white base and the negative panel onto a black base.

I cut the circles from the Pinked Slimline Dies from white glitter paper and layered them over the front of the lighter base to serve as the background for my sentiment.  I cut that using the Celebrate word die from the Hooray Fri-Dies once from foil cardstock and twice more from white cardstock and stacked them together and added them over the glitter circles.  Finally I added a sentiment from the Sassy Celebration Stamp Set on a strip at the bottom of the card.

I used the same basic layout for my black base but using black glossy cardstock for the circles and that cute sentiment from Whole Shebang.  A few sequins finished them up.

Thanks so much for stopping!  Hope you enjoyed it and you'll come again soon.  Should you see anything you need to have in the shop I have this for you:

Wishes Come True

Hi All - it's Vicki here today from All I Do Is Stamp.

Today I am using the newly released Little Huggables, along with the matching Little Critters Fri-Dies.

I have to say, I love this set.   These Huggables are just too cute.  I used a scrap card stock striped circle as my background. [Thanks Laura Bassen]

My sentiment is from the Whole Shebang stamp set. Doesn't this card just make you smile?  It sure does me.

Birthday Cards Using Paper Scraps and CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sentiments

Hello everyone!! Nora here on the blog today to show you some fun cards I created using up paper scraps and some fun CAS-Friday Sentiment stamps.

I don't know about you but I have a TON of paper scraps and my drawers only are getting fuller. I challenged myself to use up some of the scraps by making two birthday cards, one for a boy and one for a girl. I created a step-by-step for the girl card. My cards were inspired by a card I found on Pinterest that used pre-made products and I thought it would be fun to reproduce with stamps.

Stamps: Sassy Smiles, Shenanigans and Whole Shebang

My first step was to stamp and heat emboss in white all the sentiments I was going to use. Some I masked, others I used the whole strip.

Next I created a card front stenciling over different sized circles with Twisted Citron Distress Ink.

At first I was going to just do a few circles but I got carried away!!

I then started placing the strips around the card, trying to figure out where I wanted them to go. I wound up fussy cutting the "celebrate" sentiment and placed that where I wanted it to go using foam adhesive. I adhered the rest around it.

My last step was to add some pink and green sequins. Who doesn't like a birthday card with some sparkle?

The second card I produced for a boy and used a black striped pattern paper as the background.

Instead of "celebrate," I chose to use the HB2U as the centerpiece. I fussy cut it out, then topped it off with some clear sparkle and Glossy Accents.

Well that is all form me today. I hope this inspires you to look through your scraps and stamp sentiments to create some of your own fun cards. Use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order at CAS-ual Friday Stamps.
