You're the tweetest card with CAS- ual Fridays

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new CAS- ual Fridays post.

Today I am going to share a small tutorial of a card made with one single CAS- ual Fridays  Little Birdies stamp set  and it's actually one layer card (plus basic card ).

This is a kind of a Mixed Media creation as it was done with distress inks, heat embossing, water splashes and masking fluid, but finally it looks non messy and very cute.

This is the stamp set used to make this project:

Little Birdies

And here is a small tutorial I made for this card:

1. Stamp the birdies with pigmented black ink and heat emboss with black fine embossing powder.

2. Cover the stamped image with masking fluid and let it dry.

3. Make oval template that covers the card and use distress inks to ink the inside oval over the stamped and masked image.

4. Peel the masking fluid off the image as now it's like a rubber.

5. Color the birds with watercolor markers.

6. Stamp the sentiment from the same set using permanent black ink.

7. Add a drop of water to distress inks and make splashes over the card. Let it dry.

 Your card is actually done. Add the base and give it to a good friend !

I hope that you like my cute friendship card and you still have time to buy yourself these gorgeous stamps from CAS- ual Fridays shop and even to use our  discounts.

Irit is here today and I welcome you to my new Christmas in September post.
I know that Christmas is still far away, but new BoBunny adorable Christmas collections are here and now and this is a time to share our new Christmas projects with you all.
So today I made this card full of pockets added on the card front and filled with topper and tags.
 I used this Christmas in the Village collection and I am really in love with  this collections lovely graphics and non- traditional Christmas colors.

I used this collections cardstocks, Combo stickers, Layered chipboards and Noteworthy die cuts and added a few die cut pieces made with BoBunny dies. Some more BoBunny embellishments were added over the tags and toppers.
You can see the whole " collection" that fits three card pockets here.
You can use some to go with your presents or to add them to your other Christmas decorations; you can also use the tags as your Christmas tree ornaments.

Here is the pocket card with 3d pockets that were made with Double Dot cardstock and covered with Christmas in the Village collection cardstocks.
I added some Combos stickers and Layered chipboards over the  pockets front and this can be kept as an organiser for the later use.

 Here are the oval toppers made with Double Dot cardstock and patterned cardstock on the top.

 Two large tags for the upper pocket are here:

And three medium sized tags here:

 And the last, but not least- three small tags that were added inside the lower pocket.

BoBunny Christmas interactive card

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and I welcome you to my first Christmas in August post.
I know that Christmas is still far away, but new BoBunny adorable Christmas collections are here and now and this is a time to share our new Christmas projects with you all.
So today I made an interactive and very fancy card  there and I used this Christmas in the Village collection and I am really in love with  this collections lovely graphics and non- traditional Christmas colors.
My card this time has no Mixed Media add- ons and it's easy to make and fits each and every crafter.
This is how it looks when standing as a regular card:

 But wait- you are going to be amazed!
Let's open the topper :

 And now it's full opened!

Usually this kind of a card is made without  all bottom layers; the pop- up part is the actual card where you write the greetings.
I made it in a bit more layered style: the pop- up part is just the card topper/front and then there are a few more cardstock layers and the actual light blue card where you add your greetings/sentiments/ thoughts or whatever you wish.
 So here you can see all the layers on this standing card:

And if you want to try to make this  kind of card- HERE is a video tutorial for you to use.
Just a word about it: in the video the final part was mis- glued upside down and there were no way to change it in the video. But the final project was re- done and the pop- up part is glued in the correct direction.
As the video is mostly to teach the mechanism of this card  the inside ornaments direction is not the issue and you can see the finished re- done project without any mistakes.

Product list:

Christmas in the Village 12'' cardstock Ornaments, Countdown
Chriastmas in the Village Combo Stickers
Christmas in the Village Layered Chipboards
Christmas in the Village Noteworthy die cuts

I really hope that you like my card and my tutorial and see you in a week with more delicious BoBunny Christmas projects!

Merry Chrismas without red and green with CAS- ual Fridays

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here today and I am going to share my new  CAS- ual Fridays Christmas card made without any green and red colors, but in some mew for me non - traditional Christmas color combo.

 The basic card was made with BoBunny Christmas patterned cardstock, but in each and every circle I stamped a single CAS- ual Fridays snowflake.

The sleigh was first stamped using Sleighride largest stamp and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Then it was die cut with matching Fri- die and arranged over the lower die cut layer (just for the layering).
The inside part of the sleigh was die cut from patterned cardstock and then more similar snowflakes were stamped and heat embossed with the same gold powder.

The sentiment from Merry set was stamped over same patterned cardstock and hand cut around. It was stamped with blue pigmented ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

 The only embellishments I added are enamel drops in gold and blue.
Products used:

Sleighride 

Sleighride Fri- die

 Merry

Christmas Artistic Trading Coins with BoBunny

 Hello my dear crafty friends!

Irit from Irit Shalom Designs is here today with my first project made with the most adorable and newest Yuletide Carol collection.

This is a totally traditional Christmas collection- colors, designs and sayings .

But I decided to make totally new and not so traditional Artistic Trading Coins set.

 Let me explain you a bit about Artistic Trading coins first.
Most of us met and made ATC- Artistic Trading Cards- the small cards that fit the baseball cards plastic pockets.
Some of us even made Artistic Trading Cubes- 3'' cubes embellished from all 4 sides and on the top that can be folded and mailed in the envelope.
Artistic Trading Coins are the new thing that became trendy  during last few months and actually it's 2.5'' cardstock/chipboard/paper/ wooden circle that is pretty flat as we need to swap them and to mail them inside the envelope.
So here are my take of this new trend using this adorable Christmas collection.
I made 6 coins in the same colors and in the same designs.
Each and every " coin" has two cardstock circle layers and then Combo stickers, layered chipboards and Noteworthy die cuts from the very same collections were added on the top.
Some of the coins were embellished with BoBunny die cut from dies, brads, jewels or buttons.
Yet they are still very flat and you can mail them inside the regular envelope.
The first one here has a die cut candle, die cut cardstock layer and some jewels one it.

The second coin was embellished with gold heat embossed wooden shapes, Noteworthy die cuts and jewels.

This coin was covered with Gold glitter paste on the edges.

 The next one has a die cut layer made from the collection cardstock.

The next one is very similar to the second piece, but still totally different.

 The last one is the fanciest one as there are heart die cut, stickers, brad and even button on it.

 And if swaps are not your cup of tea- just add some strings on the back of the coins and you would have 6 adorable hand made Christmas tree ornaments.
