Hello CAS-ual Fridays fans! I wanted to create a cheerful card for those of my crafty peeps out there still covered in snow! For my project today, I am showcasing the Serendipi-tea stamp set and the Tea Pot Fri-Dies. Here’s what they look like:
I started out by inking up my Bristol smooth white card stock using distress oxide inks (Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber), with a sun stencil. I cut a gingham patterned paper with some black card stock and adhered it onto my colored background. I run this piece through my die-cutting machine with a stitched rectangle die.
On a piece of Neenah solar white card stock, I die-cut the tea pot and the cup using the Tea Pot Fri-Dies. I used the negative piece and aligned it on my stamping tool so I can stamp my images from the Serendipi-tea stamp set. I colored the images in with Copic markers, and adhered these on my card.
I adhered some cloud silhouette die-cuts and stamped the sentiment on my card. To finish my design, I added the Sparkling Clear Jewels. Here’s a closer look:
I think this card is so cheerful and can definitely brighten someone’s day! The sparkling clear jewels looked so pretty against the background.
I hope you like my card and got inspired to create something beautiful today! Please don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIASENTME” for 15% off your order. I hope you have an amazing day, and happy crafting!

For the first day of the reveals, we are showcasing the following products:
LOADS OF BLOOMS STAMP SET & COORDINATING DIESFLOWER TRIO DIE SETBOLD BLOOMS STENCILBOKEH STENCIL SET
For my first project, here’s how I made the card:
stamp the images on smooth white card stock. The butterflies I added for my scene are from the Newton’s Birdbath stamp set.
color the image using Copic markers or any coloring medium of your choice.
die-cut the rest of the elements needed to create the scene.
ink up the background on Bristol smooth white card stock with distress oxide inks using the Sunscape stencil. Spray the background with water and dab it dry with a paper towel.
assemble the card on an A2 size white card base.
Finish the design by stamping the sentiment and add a pink heart.
I just love this image so much! It reminds me of those times back when I was a child and my sisters and I were riding our bicycles, gathering flowers around the area. Those were simple times that I will always cherish forever. Here’s a closer look:
I would never trade in those times where my friends and I just enjoyed being kids, riding our bikes, playing games and not wanting to come home when it’s starting to get dark because of dinner. I am certainly thankful we didn’t have smart phones and computer games back then.
For my second project, I used the Flower Trio die, Bokeh Stencil set and the Bold Blooms stencil. Here’s how I made the card:
Ink up some Bristol smooth white card stock using different pastel distress oxide inks with the Bokeh stencil set.
Die-cut the flowers using the Flower Trio Die.
Use a stamping mat and bone folder to shape the flowers and give it a little dimension. If you have a round stylus, it’s better.
Ink up some Bristol smooth white card stock using distress oxide inks and the bold blooms stencil. Spray water and dab it dry with some paper towel. Use clear sequins as shaker element.
die-cut the diagonal die coverplate and adhere acetate sheet. Add foam adhesive to create the shaker well and adhere on top of the background.
adhere the flowers and leaves on the card and finish the design by adding the script sentiment die.
Since I used clear sequins as my shaker element, the die-cut flowers really stood out on this card design. I also added the Crystal clear jewels in the middle of the flowers. Here’s a closer look:
I really LOVE how this card turned out. The Flower Trio die set is a must-have for sure. You can even decorate your Spring wreath using this die. The possibilities are endless! Here’s another look:

Good morning my crafty peeps! I am so excited to share with you today’s post. I am so pleased and honored to announce that I have joined the The Rabbit Hole Designs design team. Yay! Here’s the photo of the announcement the other day!
The Rabbit Hole Designs is a new stamp company. They have recently launched a couple of stamp sets and I ordered a few of them because I fell in love with the design. For my card below, I am showcasing the Caffeinated Cat 3×4 stamp set. When I saw this stamp, I knew I just had to have it. Honestly, what is not to love? I adore cats, I love coffee and I love being a mom! Okay to be honest I used to feel like this cat when my kids were little, haha! and I had a full-time job too! I don’t even know how I survived those days; I guess I had lots and lots of coffee!
Here’s how I made the card
Stamp the image on Neenah solar white card stock (or any card stock you have in stock) with alcohol friendly ink.
Color the image with alcohol markers (or any coloring medium of your choice).
Either fussy-cut or die-cut the image using an electronic die-cutting machine. For mine, I used my Scan N Cut 2.
Die-cut a piece of Neenah solar white card stock using the wood/floors dies and ink it up with gathered twigs distress oxide ink to make it look like wooden panels.
Cut another piece of white card stock and use embossing folder to create the “wallpaper”.
Adhere the floor, the moulding and the “wallpaper” on an A2 size card base. Cut the excess.
Die-cut the little decorative frame and little bows on some colored card stock and stamp the sentiment and image on both. Adhere the frames with liquid glue.
Adhere the Caffeinated Cat image (ahem, star of the show!) in the middle of the card with foam adhesive to give it dimension.
Add the heart embellishment on the coffee cup.
Add Sparkling clear jewels and bow on the decorative frame to finish the design.
Everything about this cat just makes me giggle! The tired look on her face, the bunny slippers and the robe! I think we can all relate. Here’s a closer look:
That cat wallpaper just added more cuteness to the whole design, don’t you agree? The mom cat looked tired but her house is spotless!
What do you think of my card? Does it make you want to have a cup of coffee? I hope you like my project today. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Note: if you are looking to purchase the Cat Embossing folder, they will be available at Kat Scrappiness next week (she is restocking them).

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hope I have given you some inspiration to create something beautiful. Have a wonderful day, and happy crafting!
