One stencil - two ways- with CAS- ual Fridays

Hello my dear crafty friends! Welcome to my new April post made for CAS- ual Fridays blog.

Irit is here today and this time I am going to show a card made with one single new and just released stencil that was used in two different ways as the background and then on the main heart shaped image.

I used this lovely Bold Trellis stencil with two different mediums and as you see it looks totally different.

The background is made with Gel medium over the stencil that was positioned over white cardstock

Then the dry image was covered with a mist of Distress inks and wiped with a baby wipe to leave the white images that are glossy.

 The inside heart was die cut from the stencilled black cardstock.

This time I used red glitter paste and the look is very glittery.

The sentiment was stamped over white cardstock and glued over the inked smaller heart.

This is the stencil used twice to make this card:

Bold Trellis

And the stamp set used :

 Bushy Tailed

I hope that you like my used of one single stencil and as you can see this is an easy way to make lovely card with minimum effort if you have our lovely CAS- ual Fridays products.

So here is my own discount for you to use in CAS- ual Fridays shop.

Go for it! And see you in a couple of weeks with a new card and a tutorial.

Happy Thoughts with CAS- ual Fridays

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here today with my September card tutorial made with CAS- ual Fridays most delicious stamp and die set- Peaceful Garden stamp set and Garden Fri- dies.

This card is made in a kind of " light Mixed Media style". The background  was made with Distress Oxides; all card was misted at the end; die cut pieces were  covered with embossing ink and heat embossed . But even after all these mediums/ inks/ powders this card looks pretty much clean and simple.

And these are CAS- ual Fridays products I used to make this lovely card:

 Here is a small step by step tutorial I made for you to follow!
1.Die cut card front from white thick cardstock. Die cut the oval frame to use as your stencil.

2.Ink the oval inside the stencil with three Distress Oxide inks as shown.

3.Stamp the leaves over the inked part of the card using black pigmented ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. You can use VersaMark ink and black embossing powder as well.

4.Add more stamped leaves and flowers around the main stamped image using the same technique.

5.Stamp and die cut two  more leaves.

6. Die cut roses; ink them with  ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

7.Glue the die cut leaves and flowers over the stamped ones.

8. Stamp the sentiment on the card.

9.Cover the entire card with VersaMark ink and heat emboss over with clear embossing powder.

10. Add green ink splashes over the card.

11. Add enamel drops as flower centers and around the card.

I hope that you like my small tutorial and would try to make the similar card with all shown techtniques.

You can find the products in CAS- ual Fridays chop and to use my own discount if you wish to do so.
