CAS-ual Fridays: Arrows

Hi everyone and happy Friday :)

 Friday again *woohoo* This not only means the weekend is near, but also that a new CAS-ual Fridays challenge is starting today!

This week our theme is

Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Freitag :)

Es ist wieder Freitag *juhu* Das bedeutet nicht nur, dass das Wochenende in greifbare Nähe gerückt ist, sondern auch das es heute wieder eine neue CAS-ual Fridays Challenge gibt!

Das Thema dieser Woche lautet 

 

use arrows on your CAS project

benutze Pfeile auf Deinem CAS Projekt

 

This weeks sponsor is Simon Says Stamp
Der Sponsor in dieser Woche ist Simon Says Stamp 

 

My card is super simple! I used the pattern of the paper and highlighted some of the pre-printed "arrows" by doing a little faux stitching. I then stamped the sentiment and stars and added some small rhinestones. Put the panel on pop dots - that's it! :)
 
Meine Karte ist wirklich super einfach! Ich hab' einfach das Muster des Papiers benutzt und einige der gedruckten "Pfeile" durch falsche Nähte hervorgehoben. Dann hab' ich das Sprüchlein und die Sterne gestempelt, noch ein paar Glitzersteinchen drauf. Das ganze auf 3D Pads gesetzt - das war's schon! :)

Sending Get Well Wishes Your Way

 Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)
Today I'm sharing a Get Well card with you that I created for the Spellbinders Blog.
Spellbinders introduced some really beautiful new goods during the CHA - not only did they release their new "Media Mixage" at CHA, but they also have some awesome new dies and M-Bossabilities folders - like the one I've used for my card above! I really like these new M-Bossabilities, because they just "do the job" for you if you are in a hurry!
To see how I created this card, just visit the Spellbinders Blog and take a peek. I would be delighted if you'd leave me a comment over there, so I know what you think :)
