CAS - Right as Rain

Mama Elephant CAS Easter Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Easter card showcasing one of the cute bunnies from the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny set.

I stamped the bunny and colored him (her?) with Copic markers, as well as colored pencils. To create the cloud background, I made a stencil from vellum using the cloud die in the Landscape Trio set and two of the cloud dies in the Build a Scene – Rolling Clouds set. I sponged white pigment ink with a sponge dauber on to Memory Box cardstock (now retired). For the bottom half of the card, I stamped the Hero Arts Five Line Background (retired, but still available in a couple of stores online) in Celery ink on Memory Box cardstock (now retired).

Paint Resist Technique

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS encouragement/friendship card that uses the paint resist technique.

I applied Picket Fence paint to an older Hero Arts stamp – Leaf and Floral Background – and stamped the image on white cardstock. Once the paint was dry, I applied Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans inks. I then wiped away the painted areas with a slightly damp paper towel. This technique gives a subtler resist than heat-embossing the image.

I cut the panel with a die from a retired MFT Blueprints set. I stamped the sentiment, from the Simon Says Stamp You Got This set, with Mama Elephant Smoke ink.

Lawn Fawn Foxes

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS “just because” card created with a combination of Lawn Fawn products.

I stamped the fox images from Mom + Me, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them with their corresponding dies.

I recently bought a rainbow pack of Lawn Fawn cardstock, along with several packages of neutrals. I cut the card base from Paper Bag cardstock using the Woodgrain Backdrop. I cut the background for the scene from Mermaid cardstock using the Cloud Backdrop. (I absolutely love these backdrop dies!) I then used a square die to cut the cloud piece to the size I needed. I cut the grass from Noble Fir cardstock with one of the Meadow Borders dies and the same square die. I framed the scene with white cardstock cut with a die in the Outside In Stitched Scalloped Square Stackables set. I heat-embossed the sentiment on Black Licorice cardstock and cut it with a die in the Extra Sentiment Banners set.

Newton’s Nook Book Club

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with the Newton’s Nook Newton’s Book Club stamp set.

I stamped, cut, and colored the sweet cat image and added it to a rectangle on which I added Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and stamped the sentiment.

The background paper is from an Echo Park pad.

Lawn Fawn CAS Valentine

Hello and Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s card created with Lawn Fawn supplies.

I stamped and colored the birds and envelope from Love Letters, and cut the items with their corresponding dies. I stamped the sentiment on to the white cardstock base and added panels cut from Lawn Fawn cardstock with the Woodgrain Backdrop die. I added hearts cut with the Taylored Expressions Little Bits – Hearts die.
