Emboss Everything

Stamp University was a great success on Saturday.  Thanks to all the lovely ladies who participated.  It was a lot of fun and I particularly enjoyed seeing everyone complete their folders, as they now have a great paper craft resource to turn to whenever creating a special project.

Here's a cute, but simple, card I made as a sample of embossing with the Big Shot.

The base is Crumb Cake, with a layer of Early Espresso embossed with the Tulips Embossing folder.  Very Vanilla was embossed in the Vintage Wallpaper folder and cut into rectangles.  Yes, I've deliberately measured the pieces so they are identical!

Finally, the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit in Cherry Cobbler makes the feature, all topped off with some of our lovely Pearl Jewels.

Many Thanks

I needed a few thank you cards to make a gift pack for a friend, and I came across a lovely clean design by Heather Tiley, so I had to have a go.

The thing I like about these cards is how fresh they are.  The colours in the dsp are Rich Razzleberry, Lucky Limeade & a muted Daffodil Delight.

Using the embossing folder (Tulips) like this is also a nice way to get a frame top and bottom, don't you think?


I decided to stamp inside each card (I don't normally do this, but always like it when I see others do it!), and add a little strip of the dsp as well.   I actually did this on a separate layer of whisper white, mainly because the card felt flimsy and likely to fall over.  Probably because the ww cs is not quite as thick as our coloured cs.

I love to read your comments, so feel free to say something!

Have a great weekend!
Cheers

Simple Thank You Cards

It's getting harder and harder to make a card without the Big Shot!!  Who knew?!
These cards are really simple and use the Top Note & the Tulips Embossing Folder.
I'm loving that Mocha Morning Specialty paper - this one is flocked in black.  It goes so nicely with everything! 

The ribbon is the new ruffled one in Lucky Limeade. 

The cardstock colours are Calypso Coral, Island Indigo & Wisteria Wonder.    I printed the message on Whisper White cardstock then ran it through the Big Shot with the Top Note.



Have a lovely day.

Thanks a Million

Well, it's off to Convention tomorrow - look out Melbourne, here I come!    But before I go........I just got the Word Play stamp set the other day and haven't even had time to mount the stamps yet but thought I'd make a super quick thank you card using one of the greetings.    I also wanted to see how the new Tulips border embossing folder worked - and I love it!
