The Craft's Meow Preview: Choose Hope

 Today is the second day of previews for six new stamp sets which will soon be available through The Craft's Meow on August 21.  All the designers' projects can be seen over on TCM's company blog along with their links for more details, so be sure to check them out.  Today we are featuring a stamp set designed by Angelica Suarez, Choose Hope:

I sprayed a piece of aqua cardstock with Dylusions Squeezed Orange ink spray and layered some patterned paper scraps to frame my sentiment. It was stamped using Memento Luxe Tangelo ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. 

Quite out of my normal design, but I love it!!! :)

 

The colors were inspired by the CAS-ual Fridays challenge:

I'll be back tomorrow with another card from The Craft's Meow August stamp set release!  This is such a great release and I had so much fun playing with all of the new sets! Remember...one of each of these stamp sets will be given away to a
lucky commenter from the TCM blog. 

Deadline to leave comments each evening is 8 pm PST.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Scor-Pal meets CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog

Hello peeps!  I am excited to share that Scor-Pal is hosting the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge this week. For my card, I scored the bottom portion of my green panel and added some Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (Christmas Sentiments and Snowflake Silhouettes) and Sweet Folk Art Spellbinders dies. And yes...this is one of my Christmas cards, I officially started making them last night!  Yikes...I have some major card making to do :)

Hope you get a chance to play along, there is an amazing Scor-Pal prize up for grabs!!
 

Personal note: It has been a long week as our daughter has been sick with whatever is going around...taking her to the doctor in the morning as she is in a Christmas play Sunday night and not sure it would be wise to wait much longer. Always something :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

 I made this card for the CAS-ual Friday Challenge which was to create a clean and simple project using polka dots.  I used the new stamp set Petal Party (from Penny Black) and stamped the floral image on some polka dot patterned paper from the Fabulous Simple Stories collection.  I added a scalloped epoxy center from Epiphany Crafts to the center of the flower.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

CFC48 ~ Let's Go for a Spin

 I made this for the CAS-ual Friday's challenge which was to choose 2 opposite colors from the color wheel.  I used In Tandem from The Craft's Meow and embossed the bottom half of the orange cardstock with a Sizzix folder.   

See you back here tomorrow for the NinaB Designs Blog Hop with tons of inspiration and prizes!!!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Bird-day

Hey there...still cleaning out my craft room and managed to reward myself a bit (it is hard work you know) by taking a stamping break! 

I created some panels using scrap pieces of pastel cardstock and the stamp set Tweet of You from The Craft's Meow.  Just a fun little tip, I used the reverse side of the stamp to create the pink outline of the birdcage using Memento Angel Pink and then Black Tuxedo for the outline image.  The flourish bling is from Want2Scrap (love da bling).  

 

I am entering this into the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week which was to use pastels and black.   I am also entering this into The Craft's Meow birthday challenge, the theme is "birthday" and thinking this will fit the bill.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

CFC41: Kissing Frogs

I made this for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week which was Jest for the Pun of it!  I used Fairy Tales and paired it with some GKD Patterned Paper Wisteria Lane (just love all of those circles!!).

Sorry I have been MIA quite a bit...alas, various virus' have hit our household and while I don't want it to hit us all at once, getting us one at a time (and lingering) is getting old! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

I made this for the CAS-ual Friday's challenge which this week is a sketch, which is hands down my favorite challenge.  I used some Hero Arts stamps I got from CHA in January (how on earth I never got them inky in all this time I will never know!)  The butterfly images are from Antique Engravings and the sentiment is from Stitched Frame. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

CFC12 ~ LOC Silk Moth

I made this for the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge which was to create a Clean and Simple project using a rub-on or stickers.  I used the Silk Moth cling art stamp from Layers of Color and colored it with Copics.  The SRM stickers sentiment was added to a die cut from Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

A couple of cards to share today.  This one uses a sentiment from Follow Your Dreams and I paired it with some Webster's Pages patterned paper.

My dear friend Linda Payne sent me some happy mail last week which included this adorable stamp set from The Craft's Meow.  I just had to get it inky and thought the CAS-ual Friday's challenge (which is a sketch this week) would be perfect!  Hope it is okay as I flipped the sketch :o)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

CAS: Congrats

A quick card to share that I made for the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge which was to create a clean and simple graduation project.  I used the stamp set Words2Color from The {Stamps} of Life and kept the color scheme to Navy and Black.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

I made this for the CAS-ual Friday's challenge which was to use Bling!  I used the stamp set Lawn Fawn Happily Ever After and added bling to the waist of the dress.  Quite a CAS design for me :o)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

I recently won some stamps from The Stamps of Life and had to get Scream4IceCream inky right away.  This card is for the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.  Love this new challenge blog and this week the challenge focuses on "text."  I stamped the ice cream cone and scoop on A Walk in the Park patterned paper (from Echo Park) and adhered it over the text I created from sentiments in the stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
