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 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.
How versatile is the Simply Leaves stamp set and punch bundle? Just lovin' using it on my seasonal cards at this time of the year. It matches well with the leaves on the embossing folder from the Seasonal Cheer Mini folders trio set which is a 3" x 6" folder. I've punched out the leaf with some patterned paper this time and on the other two, I used the vein stamps that come with the stamp set to add a little something to them. Easy peasy sweet card for any occasion. Enjoy!
When I get a set of dies which I’ll use without their corresponding stamp set – like the Beautifully Celebrated ones, I put them up on a magnetic board so I see them and ultimately USE them! I forgot that this set of dies has these amazing eyelet corners. The die cuts two corners at a time. Looks great as a frame for this beautiful card, right? A very pretty way to dress up a project. Tip: before die cutting, add some adhesive sheet to your cardstock then die cut it out. Makes adhering it so much easier. Enjoy!
All fall leaf cards don't need to be red, green, yellow, rust in colour! Today's card features the Simply Leaves Stamp Set and this soft colour palette of Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Smoky Slate. There are 2 sizes of leaves in the stamp image options. The larger one - used in the centre of my card - coordinates with the Simple Leaf Punch if you're so inclined. I like the "simple" and elegant look of stamping it on white cardstock followed by cutting it into 4 equal pieces then layering on black. Really helps make it pop. Enjoy!
