CAS - Right as Rain

Reverse Confetti December 2020 Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to the December Reverse Confetti Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from the blog of Jeanne Jachna. (If not, you’ll want to start at the Release Confetti blog. The entire blog hop list is included at the end of this post.) For the hop, I am sharing a card suitable for a number of occasions including friendship and birthday.

To begin, I stamped the flowers and leaves with the Bold Blooms set and cut the pieces with their coordinating dies.
I added the pieces to a frame cut with the Center Circle Cover die from Polar White cardstock and backed with light-blue cardstock.
I stamped the Mixed Messages sentiment on to Polar White cardstock, which I cut with one of the Tag Duo dies. I tucked the sentiment into the floral arrangement on the right-hand side of the card.

Next stop on the blog hop is the blog of Deanne Kuntz.

Penny Black Winter Greetings

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS seasonal card created with Penny Black supplies. I wanted to create a card that celebrated the beauty of the winter months.

I die-cut the polar bears with the 51-668 Festive Family set from white flock.
I die-cut the snow bank with the same set and added it to a navy cardstock panel, on which I had stamped the 30-731 Christmas Moments sentiment in white pigment ink.
To fill the sky, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-268 A Blizzard, 51-080 Around Town, and 51-066 Crystal Trio sets.
I added the polar bears with foam adhesive.
I added the panel to a patterned paper card base for additional visual interest.

Penny Black – CAS Christmas

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Penny Black products. The thing to remember with CAS cards – they look simple, but in fact, often take more time than less-simple cards. This card is a case in point; stamping the trees took a fair amount of time.

I stamped the tree image in the 30-747 Ornamented stamp set in green and red pigment inks. I dried the trees in between stamping as I have had pigment ink smear.
I cut the panel to 4 1/2″ square.
I die-cut the 51-664 Mirthful letters from white and red cardstock. I filled the open spaces of the white letters with red cardstock and adhered them to the red letters to create a drop-shadow effect.
I added the letters to the center of the stamped panel.

CAS Reverse Confetti Holiday Card – Inspired by Starbucks Holiday Cups

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card created with Reverse Confetti products inspired by this year’s Starbucks holiday cups.

I die-cut the Big Polkas Cover Panel from Polar White cardstock.
I cut circles in red, two shades of green, and light gray with a circle die, slightly larger than the holes in the cover plate.
I taped the circles to the frame on the back.
I heat-embossed the Sentimental Christmas sentiment (I particularly like the font on this set and thought it worked well with the whimsical feel of the card) on red cardstock.
I cut the sentiment with a circle die and matted it with a slightly larger white cardstock circle.
