March 31

Happy Monday!

Can you believe it's the last day of March...already??

Wowzers, time is certainly flying!

Girl Friday Angie has 2 really fun cards for you today using our Woot Woot set.

Check these out...

hello one layer fabulosity!

1 stamp, 4 ink pads and you have a great card!

Her addition of the little stars is a fun touch.

You could easily substitute sequins,

or even gemstones, to add your own fun pop of wow.

This is so cool!

We all have those odd little snips of cardstock, right?

This idea she had to put a few of them together,

then emboss the sentiment in white over the top

makes a huge statement!

I am digging this!!

I really like the little funky circles stamped randomly too.

I told you they were fun cards!!

You can find Woot Woot in the store

as well as at many of your favorite stores!

Be sure to check out the tabs at the top of the page to see where you can pick up this fun little set :)

Happy Monday!

Today I have a fun and colorful card to share with you

from Girl Friday Lynn.

She used Woot Woot with  Shenanigans

to create this happy and graphic card.

I love that offset orange panel.

It compliments the funky round circles strip that she stamped in a few colors

to create her own background.

Super fun design!!

Are you following us on facebook?

We'd love to have you join us there.

Happy Thursday!

Sometimes, all a card needs is a sentiment...a really great sentiment!

Check out these 2 awesome cards from Kelly that show off a couple of our really great sentiments.

Love how she sort of "folded" this one in from Bold Wishes.

Cool colors, cool textures, great sentiment!

Soft colors, pretty sequins, cool graphic shapes...and a really great sentiment from Woot Woot!

We've got lots and lots of sets that have really great sentiments.

Please visit one of our awesome retailers to check them out, or you can visit our store.

to a random comment.

***All you have to do is leave a comment right here on this post answering this question...

Those who have gotten inky with me will totally confirm this, 

because they've witnessed the phenomenon ...

I cannot create a card without my Stampin' Up Grid Paper.

It's the craziest thing!  

What is your must have crafty tool?

Tomorrow is our last sneak peek.
Same time, same place, jammies welcome :)

October 3

Happy Thursday!

You are in for a real treat!

Girl Friday Virginia used some beautiful Christmas stamps, 

and some not at all Christmasy stamps 

to come up with this beauty...

Those super pretty ornaments are the fun chevron bombs from Ka-Boom!

Eeeek, right?!

She "strung" them onto the fun border strip from Woot Woot

and finished it all off with the pretty sentiment and darling flowers from Christmas Carols.

I just love her creativity!

I love what she did with the Houndstooth on this!

She embossed it first in gold (yum) and then applied the color by using an Emboss Resist technique and some masking. Then, to give it some contrast, she stamped the same strip in black.

The sequins really help set off the colorful Big Thanks sentiments :)

I'll betcha that if we all say pretty please, she might create a little tutorial on that cool technique!

Leave a comment right here saying Pretty Please, and we'll see what happens :)

Have a wonderful day!

November 3

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a special surprise for you!!!

I get to show you 3 amazing cards...

Two from our fabulous Girl Friday Piali,

AND 

one from a very special, super secret guest...

Surprise!!!

It's the uber talented Paper Crafts Go to Gal, Kim Kesti!!

I'm so excited to have Kim getting inky with us tonight!

Check out this stunner she created, using WTF.

I adore the happy little banner and the sweet colors.

Inside the card she also used the 

happy belated birthday sentiment :)

Next up is this super cool and oh so graphic card from Piali using Big Thanks!

That little border just looks awesome stamped in all the colors, 

and I love how she only inked up a portion of the sentiment to get a different look.  

Prepare to swoon!

I just love the splattered mist and cool pattern papers that help set off the 

2 simple sentiments from Woot Woot.

Wowzers, that was so fun to share those!

WTF, Big Thanks and Woot Woot are all available in the store :)

I'll be back tomorrow with more eye candy for you.

TGI...Thursday?

***The Store Is OPEN!!!***

Thank goodness it's Thursday!

You've seen some fabulous inspiration from the Girl Fridays, and our awesome guests, this week.

I have enjoyed reading every single comment-I can't begin to find the words to express how excited I am!

So now that you've made it through the week, I hope that big hint I gave you a couple weeks ago is making some sense.  

Let's recap the hint with all the set names written in it...

"Many have asked for info about CAS-ual Fridays' new little sis. She's spunky and sassy, the kind that will Woot Woot for your good news or be all WTF for your more dramatic moments (but in a very PG sort of way!) She definitely has a wild side but truth is...she can also be calm and gentle. She's CAS to her core but she's down with lots of styles. Only 2 weeks til you get to meet her! I hope you'll give me a big thanks for this hint :)" 

Just so you know, the sets were named waaaaay before I ever came up with this hint, but yes, I did crack myself up when I wrote it :)

The sets in this release are all 4 x 6 and retail for $15.

They will be available on our brand new store website just after midnight eastern time, Friday October 26th. (Woot Woot! That's tonight!)

www.cas-ualfridaysstamps.com

You know the set names, so let's see what they look like, 

and announce the lucky ducks who get to start stalking their mailmen :)

Sneak Peeks Week Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sneak Peek Week!!

Yesterday might have had you saying WTF (but in the most PG of ways of course)

but today will for sure have you exclaiming Woot Woot!

This set is perfect for celebrating fun and exciting moments!

It's filled with things I actually say...all the time!
We do a lot of happy dancing and woot wooting around here so I thought it
only natural to include a set in this first release that helps you to celebrate any kind of fun occasion.

The Girl Fridays will have you happy dancing, and high 5'ing by the end of this post.

Introducing...Woot Woot

Gayatri Murali
You know we love to do a lot of happy dancing around here, and those gorgeous gemstones have me clapping along in delight!!
I just love what Gayatri did with that fun border stamp.

Jenny Mullens
Cheers!
Jenny has found the perfect embellishments to illustrate this fun sentiment!
The little gems she added to the o's remind me of champagne bubbles :)
How perfect to celebrate a friend's engagement or even a job promotion!

Virginia Lu
Squeal! Look at the gorgeous pattern she has created using the
 long loopy border stamp!
Love how she punched it out and stitched it on.
Oh, so much fun to be had!!

Stephanie Washburn
Now that is how you make a sentiment the star of your card!
Love the clean and graphic feel!
Could be awesome for those boys in our lives :)

Karen Baker
If I didn't know better, I'd swear she made this card for me!
This is exactly how I feel at the moment!
Let's high 5 and happy dance, shall we?

So what do you think so far??

One of you lucky ducks is going to be yelling Woot Woot when you win this set!
