CAS-ual Fridays Day

It's CAS-ual Fridays day on my blog [and over on the CFS blog too].  Today I used one of my favorite sets, Pretty Posies, along with the matching Posies Fri-Dies.

 It's been awhile since I have made a shaker card.  [They really are fun to shake em].

I sponged the background circle, added some sequins and acetate, colored the images with Copics, and adhered them to the outside of the shaker circle.  Finally, I added a sentiment, and my card is complete.

 That's it for me today.  Don't forget, if you use my code, you can save 15% off your purchase - including the 60% off retired sets!

STAMPlorations February Release - Day 1

Hi all.  Today is the start of a 5 day release from STAMPlorations.  Very awesome sets this month for sure!

Today we are featuring The Bee's Knees stamp set; Layered Vase.  I have to say, this is my favorite set of this release.  I totally love this type of stamping!

While I colored the center flower, I used the stamps for the others.  I adore the look of loose stamping.

I also Copic colored the vase, and added a shadow.

 This image also worked well as a partial stamped image.

That's it for me today.  You can pop  on over to the STAMPlorations blog to see what my Teamies have made, along with reading all about the potential prizes.  [Don't forget to leave a comment on this blog too.]

A New Design Team!

I have joined another company as a Design Team member - The Project Bin.  How fun is it to find that fun sentiment you were looking for?  This is the company for that!

Today, for my premier post, I made 2 cards, both using the newest release, Just Sayin.

 For my background, I hand drew some hearts, water colored them in, and doodled them.  Instead of the panel I made, I used a heart die and cut it out.

 I added the white embossed sentiments from the stamp set.  I absolutely am in love with the gorgeous mixed fonts in this fun set.

 I used a post it to have an edge for my sponged "water", and a hand made circle stencil to sponge my sun.

I direct stamped the fun sentiment.  This card is perfect for my friend who is going on a Florida vacation!

I hope you like my premier.  I'll be posting at least 2 times a month with this company.  Go ahead and check out the sets that are available in The Project Bin store.  They are really fun!
