CAS with Kristen

Hi there! Welcome back to the blog! Today I'm here to show you a CAS card that is very easy to recreate.

The background was made using the feathers from Fall Gratitude. I second generation stamped the feathers in a light beige color. Next I stamped the feathers again in a light blue then cut a couple out. With the sentiment, I stamped it in a darker blue to make it really pop out! I popped that and the feathers up with foam adhesive. "You're the Bomb" is from Super Mom! For some final touches, I added some enamel dots (that I colored with Copics), sequins and twine! Super easy and fun to create! :)

Here are the sets I used.

CAS Day!

Hi there! Welcome back to today's clean and simple post. Today I used one of the new stamp sets. It's a fun set that can be used with many different themes. I just chose an ordinary, old "Well, Aren't We Fancy" card! Who wouldn't want to receive one of those in the mail!? 

I started out with the tiny images and stamped them repeatedly in different colors and places.  I then stamped the sentiment in black ink and filled in fancy with a black marker. Next I popped it up on a piece of cardstock, added a little ribbon and finished if off by using black enamel dots! Super easy and fun to make. 

Here's a look at a couple other cards I had put on my blog a little bit ago just in cased you missed them!

CAS Halloween Card

Hey there! It's CAS day. So I'm starting to feel the crispness in the air here in San Diego and I'm loving it. Just last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch and picked out 17 different pumpkins. Yes, I have a problem when it comes to anything Fall related. With that being said, I made another Halloween card. :) I have to say that I love it too! If you like to color, you'll like this card. I used Copics for coloring but I bet this would look awesome water colored.

I first stamped the image with Memento ink and then colored it. For added accents to the castle, I added glossy accents to the windows and just a little glitter to the shingles. Who doesn't love glitter!?  For the black enamel dots, they were actually originally green. I just took my block Copic and colored them. Voila! Here's a close up below.

So great news... Halloween sets are 50% off!

You can find them all HERE!

Mass Produce CAS!

Hi Y'all! Welcome back to another CAS day! Today I'm showing you a style of card that is so easy to mass produce.  I used two different stamp sets: Fall Gratitude and Triangle Style. These must be my go to stamps--I use them for everything!! :) And I'm really into ombre looks right now so if you are too, you're in for a treat!!

Here are the cards I created today! :)

I wanted to create an ombre look with the feathers. To do this, I used Hero Arts Shadow Inks. They blend super well. I seriously suggest you pick some up if you don't have them already! I first stamped the image with the lighter ink. I then came in with the darker ink and slowly dabbed up to the middle of the image. Here are a couple of close ups for you! :) For a final touch, I added the sentiment and some sequins.

Well, what do you think!?!? Let me know in the comments below and if this is something you could easily create over and over again! :)

Go take a look at our Pinterest and Flickr page for more inspiration!! :) Don't forget to become a follower on Facebook. We have a lot of fun there especially around release time!

CAS with Kristen :)

Hi there! Kristen here :) and I'm back today with more clean and simple for you. I will also be featuring some bonus content on my personal blog HERE. For my card today, I found my inspiration off Pinterest. I sometimes search through different categories such as Design, Home Decor, Popular and a few others to try and find different things I would like to recreate but on a card. During my daily search (yes, daily! I'm a Pinterest addict!), I found this adorable necklace.

Isn't it adorable!? Well I knew that I wanted to create a card like that. I also really liked all of the negative space so I wanted to incorporate that into my card as well. For the stamp sets, I used Wheely Like You and from the latest release, Made By #2.

Here is the card that I created! :)

For the background, I took a piece of colored cardstock and stamped it repeatedly with Hero Arts Shadow Ink Tide Pool. I then took a piece of white cardstock and cut a couple pieces off the bottom. For the black ink, I used Versafine. This ink is so crisp and clear and is by far my favorite black ink. This card would be perfect for the new graduate, someone who recently scored a new job, etc. 

So I have a couple of announcements. We just had our super release on the 10th! Did you get your sets yet? If not, hurry up and go get them before noon today. Up until noon, you can get 25% off your purchase of new stamps! Use the code NRS25.

Also, we have a new Use What You Have Challenge on the blog! Check it out HERE!
