Thinking of You!!

Larissa here today to share this Bright and Cheerful Thinking of You Card using the BEAUTIFUL Flower Duo Stamp Set!!  

Here's what I've created!! 

I Started by Cutting my Card Panel!! Then Inking the top portion of my Panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink!! 

Next I Stamped and Embossed the NEW Flower Duo Stamp Set Images!! I Stamped with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I used Copic Markers to Color the Images in!! 
I used: Flowers: RV00, RV52 & RV55  N0 & N2 

Greenery: YG61, YG63 & YG67 

Then I Die Cut the Images out using the coordinating Die Set!! I added some White Gel Pen Details for some added Highlights!! 

Next I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto my Card Panel using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I adhered the Images to the Top part of my Card and used a combination of Ultra Bond Liquid Adhesive and Gina K Designs Foam Squares for some variation in dimension!! 

I added some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rocks Rhinestones to finish off the Card Card with a little SPARKLE and I just LOVE the way it turned out!! I paired it with a TE Salt Water Taffy A2 Envelope and it's ready to be Mailed to someone SPECIAL!!

Stenciled and Embossed Bold Flower Encouragement Card!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today to share a FUN Dry Embossed and Stenciled Encouragement Card using the Bold Flowers Stencil!! Something about Winter in January, especially after a Snow makes me MISS my Flowers!!

So this is a CHEERFUL Design meant to bring a SMILE to someone's Day!! 

I started by spraying the back of my Stencil with Pixie Spray and then adhering it to the Card Panel and then I placed it onto my Rubber Mat and Ran it through my Die Cutting Machine in order to Dry Embossed the Stenciled Design into the Card Panel!! Once it was Dry Embossed I Inked the Panel using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink for the Background, Milled Lavender and Spun Sugar for the main Flowers and Mustard Seed for the center of the Flowers using Distress Oxide Inks and Ink Daubers!! 

Then I replaced the Stenciled over the Card Panel making sure to line up the Dry Embossed Design and Inked with Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks and Ink Daubers!! I like that you can add dimension to the Flowers using the Stencil even though I embossed the Design!! 

Then I removed the Stencil and added some Water Splatters and some Wilted Violet, Spun Sugar and Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters to add even more Dimension!!  I LOVE how it turned and the possibilities are ENDLESS with the technique!! You can simply change out the Sentiment to fit the Card that you need for the Occasion!! 

I stamped the Sentiment with from the Doing Great Stamp Set using Versa Fine Onyx Black Ink and Embossed it with WoW Clear Detail Embossing Powder and Heat Set it!! Then I inked over it with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and added some Water Splatters for some Texture!! I took a Dry Towel and buffed over the sentiment to make sure that there wasn't any residual Ink on top of the embossed sentiment!! Then I Die Cut another Circle from some coordinating Cardstock and adhered them together to create a Frame!! Then I adhered it to my Card Front using Foam Tape for some Dimension!!

Time To Celebrate!

Hello!  I hope you are able to enjoy some fun this holiday weekend!  I'm spending time with family and thought I'd make a red, white and blue card to honor the 4th.  I thought the Jacks Stencil would make a perfect background for this one!

I placed the Jacks stencil over a die cut panel and blended in some Festive Berries Distress Ink to just a section of the panel.

I wiped off the stencil and then blended some Tumbled Glass in other areas careful to leave a bit of white space.

I wiped off the stencil again and then used a spatula to apply some Glitz Glitter Gel through the entire stencil.

Voila!  So pretty, right??  I set this aside to dry.

While the background was drying, I stamped the Celebrate from the Sassy Celebration stamp set onto white cardstock using Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink.  Before removing it from my Misti, I stamped it again with some Versamark and heat embossed it with Wow Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.  Then I did the same with the rest of the sentiment in Samba.  I fussy cut the Celebrate and trimmed the rest down into a rectangle and added a blue layer to outline it.

Next I cut the glass from the Champagne Flute from white glitter paper and the star from the Slimline Pinked set from blue foiled paper.

When the stenciled layer was dry, I arranged everything using various thicknesses of foam tape and adhesive and layered it onto a blue and red base.

That's me for today!  I hope you enjoyed it and that you'll come again soon for some more CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration!

In case you feel like shopping, there is a special going on this weekend!  Head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Shop to take advantage Free Shipping and this cool Stars & Stripes Stencil with a $50 purchase!  Happy shopping!

Then I Created my Coffee Cup!! I Die Cut 4 of the Coffee Cups Fri-Dies that I die cut from some White Cardstock and adhered them together!! Then I die cut a FUN Spring Floral Patterned Paper and adhered that to the top of the Stacked  Coffee Cups!! I Inked the Coffee for the inside of the Cup using some Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink and then coated it with some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to help make it appear to be Coffee!! I wanted to add some Darker Shading so after the Nuvo Drops were completely dry I added some E49 Copic Marker to the outside edges of the Coffee!!
