Category Archives: CAS (clean & simple)

Hello, friends!  Today I have two cards for the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps March release. I could feel spring trying to come today and I don’t know about you, but I am ready for butterflies and flowers! This new butterfly set is called Spread Your Wings. I also used a new Leaf Branch Stencil and the previously released Script Background.

Product links: Spread Your Wings Stamp & Die Bundle, Leaf Branch Stencil, and Script Background. Spread Your Wings is also available separately… Stamp set and Die Set.

I love the blue & purple color combo in my first card. I brushed the stencil with the same shade of blue and stamped the script in a light gray. The measurements of the panels are: white- 2 x 3 3/4 and two 1 x 3 3/4, purple mats- 2 1/8 x 3 7/8, and two 1 1/8 x 3 7/8.

My second card is CAS. I decided to make a rainbow of butterflies and popped them all up with foam dimensionals. It still looked like it needed a bit of something so I threw on a few scattered rhinestones.

Have a great day!

Hello, friends!  Today I have two cards for the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps‘ February release. This new set is called Beautiful Bouquets and it sure lives up to it’s name! This is a large set which includes five Bouquet images and several pretty sentiments to cover many occasions.

When I finished coloring the first image, I wanted this large Bouquet to really stand out. I kept the card CAS with white-on-white layers. The slash-stitched layer is popped with foam tape.

Have you read the children’s book, Elmer? I have to say that is what I thought of when I stamped the second vase. LOL! It’s a cute story. I stuck with only three colors, though, for my “patchwork” kettle vase. 🙂 Most of the first layered panel got covered but I used the new Hugs & Kisses Stencil for those X’s and O’s in the background!

Have a great day!

Hello. I have two last cards today for the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps‘ January release. I used the new set, Knit Together, to create some CAS cards. I also stamped a tiny heart from Count Your Rainbows on the first card. The knitting needles and yarn were stamped with two colors of ink that blended to get the color I wanted. This would be a perfect valentine for a knitter! XOXO

On my second card, I stamped the sentiment and heart of yarn together, using two ink cubes to mimic variegated yarn. The sentiment is from Cheerful Hexies.

Have a great day!

Today I have two cards to share using the new Sweater Weather set from the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps January release. On the first card I also used the new Knit Stencil.

Isn’t the sentiment cute? If you aren’t familiar with it, “Buttercup” is an old-fashioned endearment meaning “sweetheart” or “dear”. Today I think it might mean “cutie”. I stamped the sweater on the same “stitched” background paper that was placed on the bottom. The top of the card base was stenciled with the knit stencil.

One of the design team, Andrea Wood, used a head from Girl Power with the sweater image so I thought it would be fun to try one with the scarf. I kept her head lower when I masked it so her face would be partly covered. I also selectively colored only the scarf.

You can see in the photos below how I stamped on the post-it note and cut out the top of the scarf to do the masking. I stamped the scarf first, then the head.

Have a great day…bundle up and stay warm!
