Lots of leftovers...

For my recent event I had many strips of cardstock leftover 3" x 11" so why not create a 'skinny' card!!!

This is so cool!!!   One of my community members, Margie Stares, had suggested using the balloon strings from "Balloon Celebration" as the stems of flowers.   I think it looks great!

I used: 

• "Balloon Celebration" stamp set (ph-140675)
• "Number of Years" stamp set (ph-140653)
• "One Big Meaning" stamp set (w-138788,c-139420)
• linen thread
• pearls

So excited....tomorrow I leave for Utah, so I'll be blogging from there!

Advanced Faux Quilting

I've been itching to work with the multiple layers of the Tags & Labels framelits!   Then it struck me that the Advanced Faux Quilting technique would work!

To do the technique, layer different shapes on cardstock then emboss the whole piece with a heavily patterned embossing folder. 

I layered the framelits by interchanging DSP and cardstock with the different sizes.

I also used:

• "Gifts from the Garden" stamp set (w-138718,c-139356)
• "One Big Meaning" stamp set (w-138788,c-139420)
• Tags & Labels Framelits (138282)
• English Garden DSP (138440)
• Stampin' Write Markers
• Zig Zag embossing folder (133738)

Try this technique with your next card!

Heat embossing with decorative mask/stencil...

While at the cottage I had a chance to peruse some crafting magazines and saw this cool technique.   Use a decorative mask/stencil, Versamark ink and embossing powder to create a unique background design.

It was one of those ....WOW... moments when I finished the card and thought "man, I love this card and how it turned out"!    

It looks so much better in real life.... my photography skills don't do it justice.

and a bonus video to see how the technique is done....

I used:

• "One Big Meaning" stamp set (w-138788,c-139420)
• Happy Patterns decorative mask (138313)
• Winter Wonderland Specialty DSP (139588)  - sneak peek from Holiday catalogue
• gold embossing powder
• Vellum cardstock (101856)
• Everyday Chic washi tape (138385)
• Metallic Sequin Assortment (138390)
• Basic Metal buttons - gold (133763)

Enjoy your day!
