Happy Birthday Flowers!

Here is another card that uses the same inlaid embossing technique. I cut out flowers with the Big Shot using the XL Fun Flowers die in daffodil delight, pumpkin pie and regal rose. Then I embossed them on the white with the lattice embossing folder. I added on a flower on the top with a button and some of the cute bakers twine. The sentiment is from the hostess set Afterthoughts. I love how bright and summery this looks!


stamps: Afterthoughts
ink: daffodil delight, regal rose
paper: pumpkin pie, whisper white, daffodil delight, regal rose, pear pizzaz
other: Big Shot, Lattice Embossing folder, scallop trim border punch, button, bakers twine, dimensionals, oval punch

Whale-y cute Baby Card!

This is a card we made at my last technique class. This technique is called "inlaid embossing" and involves embossing several layers of card stock at once using the big shot! I cut out circles using the Circle #2 die and embossed them over the pacific point card stock. Then I stamped the whale from the Fox and Friends stamp set and the "baby" from the Tiny Tags stamp set.



stamps: Fox and Friends, Tiny Tags
ink: Tempting Turquoise, pumpkin pie, pacific point
paper: Tempting Turquoise, pumpkin pie, pacific point, whisper white
other: embossing folder, big shot, pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon

sweet pink scooter

Happy Sunday! I have a sweet pink card to share with you today. For this card I started with and old olive card base. Then I used another piece of cardstock that I had created using the two-tone embossing technique with the Big Shot embossing folder and brayer. I colored the scooter image from the On the Grow stamp set using shades of pink and grey picked up from the lids of ink pads using a blender pen. I framed the scooter image with going grey cardstock and layered it on the card. I added a border to the bottom, also grey, with the scallop trim border punch. The "hello" sentiment is from the hostess set Swirls and Curls Verses. I punched this out with the oval punch and added some bakers twine in white to attach it to the card. I also sponged the edges of the oval with some pink ink.


stamps: On the Grow, Swirls and Curls Verses
ink: regal rose, grey, black
paper: Old olive, very vanilla, grey
other: embossing folder, big shot, brayer, blender pens, oval punch, scallop trim border punch, bakers twine.

One Day until the "Last Chance" List is out!!

Ok... I don't know about you but I'm always excited this time of year to see which stamps are "retiring" and which ones will continue on...and with the new Idea Book and Catalog just around the corner!!

Tomorrow they will release the list of "last chance" stamps and accessories... I will definitely share it with you as soon as I can. Until then here's a fun card to share!

We made this card at my technique class last week! I can't share the nitty gritty details with you unless you attend my classes but basically it's a combination of embossing and brayering called "emerging color" that gives you this cool look! If you are interested in learning stamping techniques I'll be doing another class in June!

Here's close-up:
I used an interesting color combo on this card: Poppy Parade, crumb cake and early espresso. It's not a color combo I'd usually use but I think it really pops!

stamps:ornate blossom, heard from the heart, Friends never fade
ink: poppy parade, crumb cake, early espresso
paper:poppy parade, crumb cake, early espresso, whisper white
other: heat embossing tools, brayer, eyelet border punch, poppy parade poly-stitch ribbon

Fabulous florets and embossing

I made this card as a swap for a demonstrator event I went to last weekend. I am part of a really cool group of demonstrators that meet every few months and share ideas! I always am inspired to see what everyone else is doing and share what I am doing! It's definitely one of the perks of being a demonstrator!

I actually demoed the two-tone embossing technique to the group so I used that on my swap. I started with whisper white card stock, brayered melon mambo into onto the embossing folder and sent it through the big shot! I really love this technique. I made up a bunch of sheets of different colors and patterns so beware... you'll be seeing lots of them in the upcoming posts!

The main flower image is from the set Fabulous Florets. If you haven't purchased this one yet I'd have to say it is a must have! I am really loving all the cool things you can do with it! I stamped the stem piece in wild wasabi ink and then the bloom with Versamark ink and embossed with melon mambo embossing powder!

stamps: Fabulous Florets, sincere salutations
ink: melon mambo, wild wasabi, early espresso
paper: wild wasabi, melon mambo, whisper white
other: Big shot, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder, melon mambo embossing powder, heat embossing tools, crumb cake seam binding ribbon
