CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #12–Here’s the Rub!

 

Hi Kids!

 

We had another super duper crop of project submissions last week – you all are so clever and creative!!  Thank you for sharing your amazing “eye candy” with us – delicious, I tell ya!!

 

This week’s CAS-ual Fridays Challenge is one that I typically struggle with and am so glad I tried it – I had a blast!!  This week’s challenge - create a clean and simple project using stickers or rub ons.

Our very generous sponsor this week is EAD Designs, the manufacturer of some of the cutest stickers and rubons, as well as custom decorative vinyl cut outs, in the the crafty world – seriously, they have some super cute stuff!!  EAD Designs was kind enough to share some of their stickers and rubons with the Girl Fridays to inspire you to play along with us this week.  EAD is also offering up a fantastic prize to this week’s TGIF Winner – but you’ll have to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog to find out what it is.  Go ahead . . . I’ll wait!

 

Good, right?!!  So, as I said, I typically struggle with stickers and rubons.  I’m a stamper, through and through.  But I chose some of the cutest Caged Vinyl Rubons that I’ve ever seen and they adhere like a dream!!  What’s even more amazing is that they come in like a million different colors!!  Well, maybe not a million . . . but close!!  I was a lame-o and chose black.  I wanted to give the birdcage some dimension, so I actually adhered the bird cage rubon to some acrylic cardstock that I had and then cut around the outside lines.  Since I’m a stamper, I couldn’t help myself – I had to stamp that cute little red bird inside the cage.  And then had to add those cute clouds and fun sentiment.  I’m so happy with how this turned out and will definitely be playing with rubons again!!
