CAS - Right as Rain

Penny Black – CAS XOXO Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with Penny Black supplies from previous love-themed releases, as I eagerly await products from their newest release.

I gold heat-embossed the 30-667 Love Language sentiment on red cardstock. The sentiment is a multi-line one, which I masked.
I die-cut 51-486 Stitched XOXO from white cardstock through which I added an arrow, cut from gold cardstock with the 51-594 Doodles of Love die set.
I added the assembly to a white textured card base.

Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge – Thank You

Hello! Today I am sharing a masculine Thank You card created with Reverse Confetti products for this month’s Stock Your Stash Challenge with the theme of Thank You.

I stamped and colored the plant image from the Botanical set and cut it with its coordinating die. (I’ve used this stamp set on cards in this post and this one.)
I cut the Plaid Lines Small and Plaid Lines Big from white cardstock and added them to a brown card base (Lawn Fawn Paper Bag cardstock).
I stamped the Best Sentiments sentiment on to an Avocado cardstock rectangle.
I sponged Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink on white cardstock and added the panel to the back of a frame cut with the Stitched Notes & Frames set.
I added the sentiment and plant with foam adhesive.

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.

Penny Black – Hope Blooms

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement or friendship card created with Penny Black supplies. Despite the pandemic (our state is under stay-at-home orders until early May), the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the sun is out.

- I stamped a sentiment from the #30-703 Blooming Sentiments set in black ink on blue cardstock and cut the panel with a 3 1/2″ square die.
- I cut the tree and flowers with the #51-596 Bird and Branch set. I adhered the tree to the square and trimmed as necessary. I added the flowers with glue.
- I die-cut the birds using the #51-094 Tweets and #51-050 Tweet Things sets and added them to the panel with foam adhesive.
- The 4 1/4″ square card base is Bazzill Orange Peel cardstock.

We’re in this together! Stay safe!

CAS Christmas Tree – Impression Obsession Christmas Tree Cutout

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with supplies that I’ve owned for some time. In fact, I first used (it’s possible it was the only time I used) the Impression Obsession Christmas Tree Cutout die in this post for Ellen Hutson in 2014. I like revisting my supplies and finding new designs on which to use them.

I white heat-embossed one of my favorite sentiments (from the now-retired Hero Arts Operation Write Home Winter Wishes set) on Taylored Expressions Blue Raspberry cardstock. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die.
I cut the Impression ObsessionChristmas Tree Cutout tree using the outline die from Poppy Parade cardstock and again with both the outline die and detail die from white cardstock. I glued the two together.
I stamped the Hero Arts Candy Stripes background with Lady Bug ink.

I like the whimsy of the Christmas tree, reinforced with the colors and the striped card background. Thanks for stopping by!
