HAPPY MAIL!

Hey, guys! Guess what?! CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is releasing new stamps today AND tomorrow!!! AND, there is NO waiting! That's right, you get to see the inspiration and buy the stamps and dies the same day! So, let's get this party started!

Our first new set is called Happy Mail and it has a coordinating Mail Box die available, as well! I created this super fun gift bag/treat bag using the new stamps and dies! SO much fun, you guys! For reals, though!



I created a tiny little shaker by cutting a window in my mailbox and filling it with stamped envelopes and tiny heart sequins. LOVE!!! You get a little peek inside the mailbox! I just love it! I simply cut my sentiment into a banner shape and then sliced a slit in the straw to insert it. This is sure to brighten someone's day!



You are not going to want to miss out on the super cute projects created by the Ink Squad! Be sure to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog to check them out!!!

Get ready to send some HAPPY!!!

You Simply Have to Fly!

Step 1: Begin with all white cardstock.

Step 2: Recognize that you really are a clean and simple designer and just embrace that.

Step 3: Create this card.



Oooohh... wait. You wanted steps for actually creating the card? Okay. I can do that.

Step 1: Head on over to CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and purchase the Butterbows Stamp Set and the Bubble Labels Fri-dies. While you are there, you may as well pick up a couple of other things because: Awesomesauce.

Step 2: Trim card base, fold, set aside for now.

Step 3: Stamp Butterbow in Little Piggy ink from WPlus9 on a white panel. Stamp it again on Post It tape. Cut out the butterbow on post it tape and place over the Little Piggy Butterbow. (You guys, I am NOT making these names up. For reals.)

Step 4: Ink entire panel with Fairy Dust ink from Wplus9. (Nope. Still not making it up.) Allow sufficient time to dry and heat set it anyway for good measure.

Step 5: Stamp and emboss sentiment with VersaMark ink and silver embossing powder.

Step 6: Die cut large Bubble Label from more white cardstock (Because that's all we are using, remember?), cut in half, adhere beneath butterbow.

Step 7: SEQUINS!!!!!



Step 8: Head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog for all kinds of awesome inspiration AND get ready for a new release later this week! WHAT?! Yup. Totally.

For reals, though. You should probably do all of the above.

Have a Happy!

Tic-Tac-LOVE!

Tic-tac-toe. It's toe. Not love. But love is SO MUCH MORE FUN, you guys! For reals, though. I am back with day two of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps January release and I'm just as excited about this set as I was about the one yesterday. You've been warned.



Seriously. Where else are you going to find SUCH awesome sentiments? Michele comes up with the BEST phrases to use on cards and this Winner Takes All sentiment is no exception. I am so in love with it! AND... not only do we have this adorable new tic-tac-toe stamp set, but are you seeing that game grid? Yup. That's totally a new Fri-die! And it's AWESOME!!! I cut it several times and stacked it for a nice thick, deep look and I love it! LOVE, I tell you!

There are so many directions you can go with this set! LOTS of tic-tac-toe combinations, but there is even more than that! Be sure to head over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog to check out what some of the girls did. Dude. They rocked it. AND... you could totally win this stamp set and die, so... yeah... GO! Have fun!

Have a Happy!

25 Days of Christmas TAGS {GIVEAWAY!}

I am excited to be participating in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags hosted by Tracey over at In My Creative Opinion! The CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Ink Squad is playing along today, so we have lots of inspiration using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! Woot! Woot! This is a pretty fun and TOTALLY inspiring blog hop! Today is Day FIVE, so be sure to head over there to see the previous days and follow along throughout this month for TONS of holiday tag inspiration!



I used the Bubble Labels Dies to create the snowmen shaped tags. I just chopped off one bubble and voila! Snowpeople. I wanted the arms to look like sticks, so after some consideration, I decided to use portions of the Casual Trees Fri-Dies for those. Umm... yes. I do love them. Lots. For reals, though. I stamped the bottom with a few snowflakes from the Must Love Snowflakes stamp set in pastel tones to add a bit of interest to the tags. I kind of love these little guys. They are just SO FUN!

AND...we not only have inspiration for you, but we have PRIZES, as well! Some super amazing companies are sponsoring the hop! We are talking Reverse Confetti, Clearly Besotted, CAS-ual Fridays Stamps (obviously), Neat and Tangled, Paper Smooches, and Lawn Fawn! WHAT?! Yup. Totally, you guys!
