Sneak Peak #2 with CAS-ual Friday

Black and White and no other color - not even a speck! That is the challenge over at CAS-ual Friday this week.  It is so hard to not add just a tinny whinny bit of color!  But, I remembered a new stamp I just got.  It is one of the stamps in the new Close to My Heart's 2012 Spring/Summer Idea Book which is due out February 1.  This is one of those stamps that was 'love at first sight' and from that point on I knew it was a "HAVE TO HAVE".    I've been so busy this past week, tonight was the first time I got to pull it out and give it whirl.

Here is my Black and White ONLY card!


Cool isn't it?  I love it!  This stamp is called "Fashionista".   There are 4 different girls on this set and they are all Shopping Fashionistas!  I used only one girl on this card - you'll have to wait until February 1st to see all four lovely ladies! 

Fashionistas should stand out, so I stamped the her on a separate sheet of cardstock and cut her out.   Then I used foam tape to make her pop her up.  Can you see my Bitty Sparkles?  I added one to the shopping bag and one to the neckline of her shirt.  The ribbon is from the Designer Ribbon Round Black Collection.  This is a retired item but can still be found on our "While Supplies Last" section of my website.  You get 4 feet of six different black ribbons for only $4.00.

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
