Winterish Day

To make this card I colored the negative portion of the woodgrain embossing folder with a crumb cake marker before embossing the white cardstock. Punched corners with ticket punch. Matted with espresso; punched corners with ticket punch.

Stamped lovely as a tree in black stazon, then sponged crumb cake, espresso, baja breeze, not quite navy, and going gray; cut with labels framelit.

Cut crumb cake with labels framelit, embossed with square lattice EF. Added decorative label in baja breeze, and modern label in espresso.

Stamped happy birthday from teeny tiny wishes set in not quite navy, punched with word window and matted with modern label. Added mini brads and small circle from itty bitty punch (I punched this out of the embossed woodgrain before adhereing the tree). Adhered to crumb cake card.

(Added espresso sponging to the edge of all the pieces before adhering)

So Simple Doily









SUPPLIES:

stamps - hello doily, sincere salutations
ink - sahara sand, pretty in pink, espresso
cardstock - primrose petals, whisper white
accesories - primrose petals ribbon, itty bitty punches, pearl rhinestones

Inked the entire hello doily stamp with sahara sand, then inked the edges with pretty in pink before stamping.

Embossed Doily


First masked off the sponged area - sponged in pumpkin pie, rich razzleberry, elegant eggplant. Stamped doily in elegant eggplant on top; embossed with fancy fan folder. Added itty bitty flower punch, itty bitty banner stamped in pumpkin pie. Card is primrose petals.

So Many Smiles

SUPPLIES:

stamps - delicate doilies, petite pairs, french foliage (dots)
ink - crumb cake, cajun craze, always artichoke, espresso
paper - crumb cake, whisper white, rust
accessories - itty bitty punches, mini brads, corner rounder


The idea for this card was to create a card without using the Big Shot. When I teach classes at the library, we do two cards and inevitably, everyone ends up waiting for the Big Shot. So I decided to do one card that emphasizes embossing folders and diecuts, and another that doesn't require the use of the Big Shot at all!

Primrose Petal Snowflakes

SUPPLIES:

stamps - petite pairs
ink - not quite navy
cardstock - primrose petals, bashful blue, white
accessories - finishing touches edgelits, delicate doilies sizzlits, snow flurry Bigz die, holiday frame EF, pearl rhinestone

This is a super simple card - quick and easy! It is hard to tell that the color is primrose petals - it looks great against the bashful blue in person : )
