Happy Hanukkah with CAS- ual Fridays

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here today and I am going to share one more Hanukkah card.
Hanukkah is just around the corner and as CAS- ual Fridays have the most beautiful Hanukkah stamps and Fri- dies this is a time to get yourself a few new items from the shop and to make a few new Hanukkah cards.
This time I decided to stay with die cutting  only and there is no stamping on this new card. But then there are a few background techniques that can be useful for non  stamping crafters or for these who want to make a set of cards with just dies and to try some Mixed Media easy techniques.

This card was made over the thick white cardstock without any patterned paper (not so much of  Hanukkah cardstock can be found in the shops).

I tried to stay in our traditional Hanukkah colors of blues and silver, but believe me you can use purples and gold, black and white or even reds and oranges of candle flames.

This is how it looks from the side: flat and fits the regular cheap mailing envelope.

And here is the main part- with both CAS- ual Fri- dies.

I used two sets of dies for this card: the first is the new and just released Happy Hanukkah Fri- dies set and the second is the older,but still much loved ........ Fri-n dies set.

Happy Hanukkah

Happy Hanukkah Fri-dies

And I made a full step by step photo tutorial for you all too.

1.Cover the card front with 3 strips of painters tape (repositionable tape to use for painting lines).

2.Use inks (I used American Crafts Mixed Media inks for this card) to ink the first strip on the card and then move the strips and ink all other parts with different blue ink colors.

3. Die cut the Star of David as shown and then arrange it inside with colors in the different spots.

4. Cover the card front with the stencil and use translucent texture paste over the stencil.
Let it dry for a few minutes.

5. Heat the dry paste and use silver foil and bone folder to add some distressed silver foil over the stencilled parts. This is not the usual way to use the foil, but  it worked without any laminators or other fancy tools. Anyway all I wanted is the get some silver over the texture paste lines, not to foil the stamped images.

6. Add some silver glitter drops over the die cut star as shown and let them dry.

7. Die cut the Happy Hanukkah and heat emboss it using VersaMark ink and glitter blue embossing powder.

8.Arrange the card and add more glitter glue drops over the card front.
Happy Hanukkah to you!

 I really hope that you like my Hanukkah card and my small 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.

Your age card with SNS

Hello my dear friends!

    Irit is here today with my second September Sparkle N' Sprinkle reveal card.

Today I used the most adorable, funny and cute new stamp set called  Spring Chickens.

This set is so much fun and so much firs my age and my " not saying" age.

I love all of the sentiments and all of the cute image of this set so much and I sure whould do more cards with them.

I tried a new for me technique by mistake: after coloring I moved with colors around the images by mistake. So I took a new baby wipe and moved the colors up and down by purpose and BINGO! I really love the result. Just try it! Ir works with water colors and distress inks.
