Hello, I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today sharing this bright colourful birthday card.

Shenanigans is one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets that I find myself reaching for all the time!

Today I have paired it up with some bright ink blending and the Bubbly stencil.

I started by stamping the sentiments with versamark ink and heat embossed with WOW super fine white embossing powder.  Next I ink blended three colors over the embossed sentiments, then I placed the Bubbly stencil over the top and blended the same ink colors.  I splattered some water for some added interest!  I die cut the panel slightly smaller than my card base and adhered using some foam tape.  I added some 4 petals die cuts cause I just love those little petals!  I added some clear sequins in the middle of the petals.

I hope you like my colorful birthday card and I have inspired you to do some ink blending and stenciling.

CAS-ual Fridays and Catherine Pooler Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to the  CAS-ual Fridays and Catherine Pooler Designs collaboration Blog Hop!

You should have arrived here from the lovely Susan Powell.

I have two cards to share today using the Catherine Pooler Carnivale Inks and CAS-ual Fridays stencils, stamps and Fri-Dies.  I've also used a CP stamp set. 

For my first card I stamped the big sentiment from "Happy Birthday"  using versamark ink and white heat embossed with WOW embossing powder.  I ink blended the panel using Suede Shoes,  All That Jazz, Grape Crush and Mardi Gras and added some of the 4 Petal Fri-Dies. 

For my next card I did some more ink blending as well as some stenciling.  I started by ink blending my card panel with Be Mine, Coral Cabana and Samba ink then I placed the "Jacks Stencil" over the top and went over using the same colour inks.

I stamped the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays "Shenanigans" and the pup from Catherine Poolers "Peeking Pups".

Next up on the hop is Jen Carter and if you get lost along the way you can find the full hop list at CAS-ual Fridays blog or Catherine Pooler blog.

A cup of pretty coffee for CAS-ual Fridays and the Coffee Lovers!

Hello, I am up on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with a card for day 2 of the Spring/ Summer Coffee Lover's blog hop!  

CAS-ual Fridays are one of the many sponsors so make sure you hop on over and check out the blog hop.

I love pretty things and the "Coffee Talk" sentiment stamp set is perfect for my floral coffee card!

I die cut the coffee cup from the "Coffee Cup" Fri-Dies  in pink card stock and sponged around the edge with pink ink.  Then I die cut the "coffee" from the same Fri-die set out of pink and white card stock and layered them together slightly off setting the white one to give the shadow effect.  I also used a pink Prisma colored pencil around the edge of the "coffee" word to make it stand out a little bit more.  I die cut some flowers from the "4 Petals" Fri-dies in pink card stock and added some color again with the Prisma colored pencils.

I adhered the coffee cup and petals onto a card panel with dimensional tape and stamped the sentiment above and below my pretty coffee with black ink.  The card panel is also adhered to my top folding card base with dimensional tape.
