CAS-ual Fridays Stamps August Release Day One - Flower Case Alphabet


I hope you're having a great day! I've got some exciting news to share! CAS-ual Fridays Stamps has a brand new release and we're showing peeks today - August 1, through Friday - August 4 when the stamps become available in the store. There's four new stamp sets in the store that you're going to love! Today we're sharing the Flower Case Alphabet!
I tried to think of a good way to show you all the letters on a project. I didn't get them all worked in... but I'm hoping you can find the letter that you're looking for on my sample. I'm always looking for the "J" or another letter for a monogram or someone's name.

Using a stamping tool I inked up all the different letters in bright colors. I wanted to show off all the little flowers that compose each letter.

I die cut the Thanks Fri Die from the Smiling die set three times from white card stock and once from black card stock. I glued them all together to make one thick word die. When I attached it to the card it secured the loops of button twine in place.

Some black enamel dots add a little shine to the card. I chose black to contrast with all those bright colors in the Flower Case Alphabet.

RCSFYTT August 2017 - Hope Your Day is Magical

Summer is flying isn't it? The beginning of August always reminds me that Summer doesn't last forever. It reminds me to slow down and enjoy the season because it's going to be gone fast! Time to spend some time with the kiddos before they go back to school, catch a movie or hit the beach!


The beginning of a new month always means some new challenges for you to play too!   My favorites are always a sketch because it takes lots of the guess work out of what to make.  You just fill in the different shaped images with your favorite papers and stamps.  The best part of all is that you have lots of time to play!

There's lots of different Reverse Confetti stamp sets to work with and I think any of them could work with this sketch.  The circle is the perfect place for a sentiment OR an image.

 
I wanted to make a birthday card for a princess so I reached for the Magical Day stamp set!

I created a background of pink papers from the Under The Umbrella and Pattern Play paper Pads.

I added a border of XOXO Hearts and added the cut outs to the top left margin of the card.  There are accents of gold throughout like the zig zag circle Confetti Cut from Flowers For Mom, and some gold sequins.
Need a little more inspiration?  The design team has you covered!  Head on over to the Reverse Confetti blog and see more samples to get your mojo started!   We love seeing what you make and it would sure be nice to see you win a prize for playing!
