Distress your projects with Two-Tone cardstock

Like the distressed look? Pair our two-tone cardstock with the sanding blocks. Two-tone cardstock has a white core so that when you lightly sand it - especially a raised embossed layer - your card instantly has more dimension with the white showing through. I'm loving these Simply Leaves stamps with coordinating punch for quick fall or masculine cards. Enjoy!

Tip: Decorate your envelopes with left over coordinating paper

Do you decorate your envelopes? I keep my envelopes separate from my cards on the shelf so typically don't do this unless I'm sending the card right away. But really, how cute is it to take some of that left over paper (all you need is a 2" x 6" strip), glue it to the envelope flap and trim it off. Nice finish, eh?

Slim Line card to show off Radiant Sunflowers

 Opted for a slim line card to show off at the Radiant Sunflowers bundle class later this month. Pretty Peacock is a great backdrop for Golden Glow - brings to mind those brilliant blue skies we see in early Autumn. Stamp and die cut out your sunflowers then add them in slighly a different orientation for each to add even more texture to your card. Placed them on an embossed layer so they really pop off the page with or without stampin' dimensionals! Enjoy!

Hot Foil Garden Silhouette

You know we offer a Hot Foil system now, right? And I'm loving it! This was one of the first cards I made using a floral image and then die cutting the large balloon out of it. Silver foil on Bubble Bath cardstock paired with 5/8 inch Cloud Cover ribbon is so soft and beautiful. This was my submission to the TLC Tutorial Bundle Co-op for August. So pleased with how it turned out!

Sunflowers a sign of happiness, loyalty, adoration and faith

Sunflowers are universally recognized as a sign of happiness, loyalty, adoration, and faith. Very fitting, I think, as we harken back to September 11, 2001. The men and women who served each other on that day and in the aftermath remind us of how a simple kindness showed love and friendship to our neighbours near and far.

Today's card includes the coordinating patterned paper with the die cut from Radiant Sunflowers - new out in the Sept to Dec catalogue. We'll be making this at Monthly Card class. Have a peaceful day.
