A Featured Stamper Sunday

Hope this Sunday finds everyone well, particularly those on the East Coast.  I am grateful that friends of mine weathered the storm well, with only power outage to be concerned with.
Today's Featured Stamper at SCS has a wonderful cas gallery.  You can see the card I chose to case here.  Here is my version of this great card and great layout-

Sorry for the poor picture; I had a tough time with this card, probably because I was trying to get the sparkles to photograph.  I used Stampin' Up's wonderful set, Water Color Winter.  And yes, I did fussy cut the pine branches and pine cones!  Truly, I find fussy cutting relaxing.  No laughing now!
The background panel and the sentiment panel are both dry embossed and the sentiment is heat embossed.  The very edges of the sentiment panel are scored with the Simply Scored tool.  I've added Dazzling Details to the pine cones.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful and blessed Sunday!

 Hello again!  I am back with another cas card, this time for a new challenge I am trying, CAS-ual Fridays.  They asked that we make a masculine card.  I don't do that too often;  they really are no where near as fun to make as cards for women!  
Here is my masculine CAS card-

 
 Now you know they saying-diamonds are a girl's best friend.  In this case, they are a man's.  These diamonds are perfect for a masculine card.  I wanted my card to have the feel of Grandpa's sweater vest, so there is some sponging on the diamonds.  Hope that is still CAS!  I gave the card some dimension with scoring around the edge and with popping the diamonds up on dimensionals.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
