CAS-ual Friday's Stamps March Release - Day 2

Welcome back friends for the day two of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March release :)
The new set is called "Comfort", these stamps have some amazing sentiments and trees. This also has a coordinating set of two Fri-Dies :) So let's see what I made...

I used the tree dies to create this card :) I saw them as leaves in a bouquet. I want to enter this card for the following challenge Cut it up #40 - Green for Spring!! 

For my second card, I used the negative of the same die to create my trees. I added washi tape to show the changing colors of the trees. I want to play this for the Simply Create Too #56 - Shopping our stash.

In my third card, I made full use of sentiments and the leaves. I wanted to create the look of falling leaves that carry these sentiments. The sentiments were heat embossed.

That's for the Day 2 and I am so excited for day 3 now :) Please head over to the CAS-ual Friday's Stamps blog for a sneak peak into the stamps and much more inspiration .

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)

Carnival colors...

Hi friends!! I am sharing yet another quick card :)
To make it I masked of the card to create the distress ink panel. Did some water splatter over it. Then I punched out the mini circles n colored them with my Sharpie marker to create the bead like banner (beads remind me of carnival), used my Sizzix circle die to cut out two circles and inked them to create the balloons. Hand drew the strings n stamped the sentiment (from Paper sweeties).
I am playing this card for the following challenges -

  1. CASology Week 85 - CARNIVAL
  2. CAS colors & sketches #64
  3. Unscripted sketches #246

ATSM #85 - Photo Inspiration

We have a wonderful new challenge for you this week at Addicted to stamps and more... Addicted to CAS. We are celebrating womanhood this week with Woman's day on March 8th. You can interpret this in many different way from colors to theme. And we have just the right Guest Designer to honor this theme, Darnell from Djkardkreations, who is very popular among most of us not only for her amazing cards but also for her brilliant fun writing skills :) If you don't know her yet, trust me this is the time... you will love visiting her :)
For my card I wanted to focus on the fact that women should think themselves to be the free birds who have the right to dream and wish BIG :) so here's my card...


To make this card, I used a stencil I bought from Walmart (yeah!! u often get good stuff for cheap there) and inked it up with Hero arts Fresh peach ink. This stencil is symbolic of the bricks or barriers that we/ women have to cross over :) Then I gold (Ranger fine gold embossing powder) embossed the stars (from My mind's eye set) The bird (from Michael's) was stamped in the same ink and fuzzy cut. I die cut a few stars using Momenta Star dies, and adhered everything on card base. Sentiment is from Paper sweeties.

There is a lot more lovely inspiration from the DT, Please visit our challenge blog here. The winner will receive a wonderful prize from our sponsor this week StampArt Design by Kathryne. Take a peek at their store here
