Have you tried this? For today’s card, I flipped my embossing layer over to display the debossed side for a change. I think it works really well with the Swirls of Magic folder and definitely worth a try with other folders. Looks great, eh? I’d originally planned 5 or 6 balloons and a greeting, then landed on a heat embossed birthday greeting on the largest. Such a cheery card!
Is this patterned paper on the card front? Nope! That’s the collage stamping using Crisp Cantaloupe ink on Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock. Results in a subtle design as a great background for the greeting. I used my cut-apart Floral Vignette single stamp. Yes you read that correctly! I cut the floral image out of the frame to expand its use. Fits right on the Clear Block E or your Stampin' Positioner. This is a layout to tuck away in your ideas folder for a quick card design. Enjoy!
Have you tried our Two-Tone cardstock yet? I was a little late to the party on this but since I started last month….I’m really enjoying the rustic look . Two-tone cardstock has a white core and each side is a slightly different tone of the same colour. Embossing breaks down the fibres then adding a wee bit of sanding really takes that to a new level. On this one I stamped one side of the Secret Sea two-tone paper with its coordinating ink, they embossed and sanded the other side. Give this idea a try!
Two pics today showing the front and the inside of this great fun fold card created by my daughter (and team member) Michelle for the August swap. What an amazing card for showing off coordinating patterned paper and displaying on a shelf. Must get all the measurements <wink> for the pop out feature. Love this!
A sneak peek of these cute square dies that are a great companion to the Spotlight on Nature dies with decorative edges. These are the Tile Garden Dies and it’s a whole set of 12 nesting squares. Get these on September 1st. Thanks to Jane for this stinkin’ cute card for our August social swap. So sweet and adorable – gettng ready to bring on Fall!
