SMILE! It's RELEASE DAY!

Yes, this is the final day of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release week and that means when the clock strikes midnight (Eastern time) the new stamps will be available IN THE STORE!!! WOOT! That, my friends, is most certainly something to smile about!



This new Tin Roof (RUSTED!) (p.s. No, the rusted part isn't part of the name of the set, but ... every.single.time. #thatisall) background was just begging me to do some ink blending! I love how the ink allows the details of the embossed background to really stand out! I layered the smile die several times to create a dimensional sentiment. I then went over it with a Spectrum Noir glitter brush pen for some added shimmer. Because: Glitter.



I hope this release week has left YOU with a smile! Don't forget to use code JINGLE2016 with your order for 15% off at the CAS-ual Friday Stamps store!!!

BRAVO! (Discount code and Giveaway)

Hasn't this week of new release fun from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps just been awesome so far?! I love these stamps and dies! I have another great stamp set and die to share with you today! This one is all about the celebration!!!



I stamped the background using several of the awesome marquis style sentiments in this set! I love the fun font on these! I also love that they can totally be focal point or background depending on how you design your card! I pulled in the BRAVO Fri-die and some embellishments from Pinkfresh Design to add a punch of color to finish my card.

Anything GOES!

It's ANYTHING GOES week! Yup! It's that time again! And this week the Design Team is playing with Stampendous! goodies! You know I had to pull out a fun little critter for this one! 

These little ice cream bunnies know how it's done, ya'll. I stamped them on watercolor paper and painted them, adding just a touch of texture with some Enamel Accents because, well, because chocolate chips. For reals, though.

The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Ice Cream Dream set. It worked SO perfectly with this image! I love it when that happens! YAY!

And now it's your turn! Create something fabulous (remember...it has to be NEW) and link it up to the challenge over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Store! YAY!!!

THANKS for joining us for Day THREE of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Release!

And yes, we have another giveaway and more inspiration for you today! Today's brand new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stamp set is a sentiment MUST HAVE. Thank you cards. We all make 'em. We probably even send those ones sometimes! *wink* Having awesome thanks sentiments in your stash is essential! And today's stamps give you JUST that! I love it!



Oh, and did I mention that there is an awesome die involved, too? 'Cause THERE IS!!! Yup! And I'm loving it! I decided to use the negative die cut to create the 'thanks' and then stamped the rest of the sentiment in a break in my patterned paper for a fun design. A few sequins added some great color, too!



I love that these don't just say 'thanks' and 'thank you', but rather they offer complete sentiments to use for heartfelt thank you cards. It really is such a great set!

Make it Girly!

Hello, friends! We have another fun Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for you up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog today! We are making it GIRLY this week! The Design Team is featuring Hero Arts goodies today. Hero Arts feels like a staple to me. They have great designs and all of the supporting products you need, as well! 

I decided to play with the fun Stamp Your Own Succulents set for my card. I used watercolors (distress inks) with some gold for added sparkle. A couple of Simon Says Stamp dies combined for the perfect sentiment!

I love how the Spectrum Noir glitter brush pens add SO much sparkle! LOVE THEM!

Now it's YOUR turn! Create something fabulous and GIRLY and link it up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Store! WOOT! 

Have fun creating! 

I Can't be Beet!

Heh. Heh. See what I did there? Well, officially, I'm asking that before you've seen my card, but, I bet you scrolled to the pictures first so.... see what I did there????? HAHAHA! Ah, man, I crack myself up. It's sad, really. Or not. However, all this to say that we do, indeed, have a brand new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for you! We are doing the POLKA! That's right, we want you to incorporate polka dots into your design in some way. The Design Team is featuring Lawn Fawn Products this week. You don't have to use them to play along, but if you've got some, we'd love to see how you make them POLKA!

Ummm, YES!!!! I love this stamp set SO MUCH! It is way too much fun. For reals. I used a combination of Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp inks to create the layered stamping design. A bit of Lawn Fawn paper brings in the polka dots for a perfect frame around the beets. SO FUN!

Now it's YOUR turn! Create something fabulous inspired by this week's Let's Polka theme and link it up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Store! WOOT!

Now... beet it! 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

Just Kidding.

I simply had to pull out this adorable Birthday Farm Animals stamp set for this one. It's not necessarily the newest of all sets, but MAN, do I love it! It is so perfect for all kinds of birthdays and totally fun! I used the Firework Burst dies from Simon to create a fun, party-style background behind my goat. MY GOAT!!! I just got to use that in a sentence. Yup. That made me happy.
