Hooray! We made it to the end of the week! LOL! I'm looking forward to some fun activities with my family this weekend. What do you have planned?
After taking a break last week, I'm back for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge. Our theme is Round of Applause: include at least one circle in your clean and simple design celebrating an accomplishment.
CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is sponsoring our challenge this week, so we're giving you a little preview of some of the goodies you have to look forward to in the next release. :)
I decided to make a card for a male teen, which called for a graphic design, complementary colors of teal and orange, and a simple sentiment. I'm guessing there are many teenage boys who would find the words "congratulations" or "way to go" totally uncool, but "epic" seemed appropriate. :)
In case you can't tell, the circles with the open arrows are popped up on foam dots, while the last circle is punched in the teal panel with the orange arrows and sentiment stamped in the negative space.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Island Indigo)
Stamps: CAS-ual Fridays Stamps
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip)
Tools: EK Success (circle punch), Papertrey Ink (Linen & Canvas impression plate)
We'll be sharing more sneak peeks of the new CFS sets starting January 14th! In the meantime, visit the rest of the Girl Fridays to see what they have up their sleeves, then enter your creation in the gallery for a chance to win a fantastic prize from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

This is truly a perfect card for a teenaged boy. The combination of colors, graphics, textures, and layers all work perfectly well together.
My niece's birthday (she leaves for Alaska next week!), basketball and show choir are the weekend plans!
Now...let's talk about your card...love it! the negative and positive circles are beyond fabulous!
This is really cute! Great colors!
This is so fantastic for a teenage boy Christina! The colours are perfect and the geographic patterns are very cool and the positive and negative cuts are awesome. Great photo showing the Linen & Canvas!
Such a beautiful use of colors and stamps!! Love it, Christina! And thank you for the lovely card that arrived in my mail box while I was away! It touches my heart :) HUGS!
Love those circles Christina. The colors look great together.
I love blue and orange together and your card is fabulous!
This is great! I love the colors and pop of print.
One word. Perfection.
What a fantastic card! LOVE the color combo and sentiment!
Just perfect for a teen boy, Christina! The orange and blue, the graphic pattern, the clean design, and of course if all that wasn't enough, the "epic" will surely resonate! Teen boy and sympathy cards are the most difficult to make, for sure. Great job on this one : )
love your use of both positive and negative die. Perfect design.
Christina! I love this ubberyly chic graphic card! I bought this impression plate because of all the wonderful cards you've made with it!!!! :)
I LOVE that sentiment!
