CAS-ual Fridays Bold and Beautiful Challenge

I have a CAS Get Well card to share today.  I made this card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #45 "The Bold and the Beautiful".  The challenge is to create a Clean And Simple project using pastels and black.

The flower stamp is from Hero Arts, Little Polka Dot Blossom Cling.  I stamped the flower with versa mark on Certainly Celery paper twice and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I cut out and layered the two flowers to give it some extra dimension.  For the flower center I used a 1/2 inch circle cut out of Basic Black paper.  I embossed the black background paper with the Polka Dot embossing folder and finished the image with a strip of scalloped trim in Certainly Celery and an edge trim of So Saffron.  The Get Well Soon Sentiment is from Everyday Sayings by Hero Arts.

Lately I've been needing a lot of Get Well and Thinking of You cards.  I love when I come up with a quick and easy, clean and simple everyday card!

 This adorable Cupcake and sentiment are from the Cuppy Cakes stamp set by Ippity.  You can order Ippity through Maria Levine HERE.  I paper pieced the cupcake wrapper using some yellow DP and I framed the image with yellow bakers twine.  The yellow twine is from Creating is Fun. 

 For my second card I used the same cupcake image and twine and just changed the layout.

Stamps:  Scarlette Cupcake
Paper:  Poppi Parade, Dotted Daisies (Doodlebug), Regal Rose
Ink:  Memento Black, Poppi Parade, Regal Rose, Barely Banana, E31 Copic Marker
Accessories:  Three For You Flower Punch, Small Oval Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch, Small Circle Punch

Happy Monday!!!!  

We have another FUN challenge this week at Totally Stampalicious!  This week's challenge is to use Flowers on your card or project.  As you can see I have quite a few flowers on my card.  The pink paper on the inside of the card is covered in flowers too.  I trimmed the edge of the card at 1/2 inch and then punched it with the scallop trim border punch to make a little space for a flower border.  I had a bit of trouble getting a good picture of this one so I ended up using a clothes pin to hold it closed for the picture.  I used the newly released Scarlette Cupcake stamp set for the image and sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card today!  Check out the Totally Stampalicious Blog for more fabulous flower inspiration!

Welcome Baby CAS-ual Friday Challenge

This week's challenge at CAS-ual Friday's is to create a baby card!  I just found out last week that I'm going to be an Aunt again so the timing for this theme is PERFECT ♥  The sweet little one won't be here until September but it's never too early to start working on baby projects!

I made this little boat using a 1 3/8 inch circle punched out slightly more than 1/2 way and a 1 inch square cut into 2 triangles and trimmed.  I popped all the boat pieces up with dimensionals.  The Welcome Baby stamp is from the Totally Stampalicious new release FUNNY STROLLERS.  The base of this card is Stampin Up retired Barely Banana that I've been hoarding saving.

Spring Challenge with Gus

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!  It's been quite a week for me.....and I'm glad to be back to my normal routine.  This week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious is to create a SPRING THEMED card.    I used this week's Freshly Made Sketch # 24 for the layout.  The image and sentiment are from the GUS Golf stamp set that was recently released at Totally Stampalicious!  I stamped GUS onto white paper and fussy cut him out using my small fiskers scissors.  I mounted him onto a light blue background to simulate the sky.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card today!  Be sure to stop by the Totally Stampalicious Blog  for more great SPRING inspiration!!!!
