Repeat After Me!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm hosting this week's Challenge over at the Mod Squad Blog!  Hope you're up for a new Challenge, this one will be easy AND fun!

Challenge

Repeat After Me!  You MUST use the same stamp at least 3 times on your creation.  Why 3 you ask.....because;  The 'rule of threes' says that things arranged in odd numbers are more appealing, memorable, and effective than even-numbered groupings.

This Weeks Sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

All the stamps and Fri-Dies are designed by Michele , and are based on her love for Clean And Simple design, hence the CAS in CAS-ual. However, they will delight any stamper's style! Whether you are a CAS enthusiast or a lover of Utterly Adorable Layers, you will have a blast getting inky with them. 

The stamps are made in the USA of the finest clear photopolymer, and the coordinating line of wafer thin dies are also made in the USA.

My 1st Card

I used the pretty flowers from the Girlfriend stamp set as well as the Friendly Flowers die.  The wonderful sentiment, is just that Wonderful Words.  Inks in; Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Wild Wasabi.  Sentiment in Tuxedo Black and Melon Mambo inks.   Spellbinders Labels 4 dies.  Pink and white gingham ribbon and enamel dots for accents.  A bit of Wink Of Stella Clear Pen for shimmer.

My 2nd Card

 

More pretty little flowers from the Girlfriend stamp set.  I stamped lots of flowers, large and small in many inks; Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise and Wild Wasabi.  Once I was happy with my stamping I cut the panel in 3 equal parts.  Using pop dots I placed my panel on my card base.  BUT I first stamped my sentiments, front and inside, using Tuxedo Black ink.  Also one more little flower on the inside for accent.  Cutting out the Love Ya die in black card stock I adhered it to my center panel.



 

 

How's this for a FUN sentiment?  LOVE it!

My 1st Card 

I used the wonderful Girlfriend stamp set and the Friend die set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.  I first stamped lots of colorful flowers all over the bottom portion of my card.  Inks in; Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise and Wild Wasabi.  Then I die cut friend out in 2 spots, top and bottom.  I added the colorful friend to the top portion offsetting the word so it pops a bit more when backed with Black card stock.  Added 2 of the sentiments from the Girlfriend set stamped in Black Licorice ink.  Tied on some Black and White Gingham ribbon and 2 adhesive Rhinestones for accents. 

My 2nd Card

 

 

This card also uses the Girlfriend  stamp set and the Friendly Flowers die set.  I die cut the largest flower out of my tag and then using the smaller 2 piece flower I inlaid them, filling the negative space with my positive die cuts.  Added a bit of ribbon and small stamped colored flower for accents.  Sentiment stamped in Black Licorice ink on hand cut flag banner.

Good Morning!

Just a little card to share with you today.  I will be entering it into the following Challenges; Simon Says Monday, Upcycle, Double D, Red And White, and Dies R Us, Use Red And Dies.

I am also posting this at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, where you can leave a card in a gallery for the Cox Family.  You may read about their story HERE.  This is not a Challenge but just a little Gallery to express care and concern.  Please participate, you know what a generous lot we as card makers are!

 

I grabbed this Rice Pilaf box out of our recycling bin, knew I could make some chipboard die cuts out of it. 

 

I used the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps  products; Girlfriend Stamps and Friendly Flowers Dies, and Casual Comfort Stamps.  Designer Paper is Crimson from American Crafts.

 

I just made a bunch of die cut flower pieces and then stamped and assembled.  Quite fun to make a garden appear out of the recycling bin!  I stamped the words onto a flower die in Real Red ink, love how it fits right in.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  The days are getting longer, it is still bright at 5:30 here....YAY!

 

Enjoy~~
