CAS Challenge--Dresses

 

 

I'm so excited about showing you guys the new stamp sets that I finally got this month. I had ordered them around Christmas, but due to the bad weather up north, it took a while for them to ship. Obviously, I was thrilled to see them finally arrive. I have ordered some more this month too. I can hardly wait to receive them. So, come back and see all my new creations real soon. If you wouldn't mind following my blog, I'd really appreciate that too. Thank you.

 

MOVING ON.....

 

Today, I'm showing you one of those stamp sets I received. This is one of my favorites that I have gotten so far. Although, I am sure I'll have more along the way! So, I can't be too partial. LOL!

 

 

 

 

This is the set that I purchased. Isn't it adorable?

 

Now, more about the project....

 

On my card, I used two different embossing folders. For the front of the card base, I used a dotted embossing folder, and I put the flower embossing folder across the entire top piece. 

 

 

 



 

 

 



 



 

I used the Gina K Designs Ink Pad set "Black Onyx" to stamp the card. In between the two embossing folders, I placed a piece of black and white scrap book paper underneath. This gave a layered look to the card. Which I absolutely love--the layered look.

 

 

 

I also put a piece of black polka-dotted ribbon at the bottom to tie it all together. Then, the final step was to put some black pearl beads on top of the words.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this card, and perhaps learned something while here. There are endless things to do with a card in the stamping world. Many new techniques to learn. I will admit, I have a hard time doing these types of challenges. I love bling all over my cards. A card just doesn't feel completed until I have some kind of gems on top of them. So that's why this weekly challenge from Gina K. Designs challenges was so hard for me to do. So tell me what you think? Do you love or hate doing a CAS card? Thank you for stopping by. 



Spring- Thank you -Sweet Friends

 

 

 

This card is a new card and part of the "Shine" challenge of the weekly Gina K. card challenge. The object of the card is to make it shine as best as possible.

 

 

 

I did a layering card for this project. I also used a Darice embossing folder to do the blue background paper. I used a piece of a larger piece of card stock paper and cut the edging off it off to create that border piece. I loved how it looked on the card. I think the embossing on the back of it really brings that piece of paper out.

 

 

I think took another scrap piece of white card stock paper, and cut a small piece off to use for the sentiment. I used a Fiskars corner tool to punch on two sides. Then, I used the Gina K. Designs Stamp Set, "Sweet Friends" on that sentiment.

 

 

I used the "Fresh Asparagus" ink stamp for the sentiment. Then, I put 3 pink pearl beads on each corner, for my shine.

 

 

This is a pretty simple card to make, and took no time whatsoever to make it. This card could be done in about thirty minutes or so.
