Veteran’s Day Thank You

screen-shot-2016-11-09-at-7-00-50-pm

As we celebrate Veteran’s Day here in America, I want to say thank you to all the men and women who have protected or are currently protecting our country.  You are very appreciated every single day of the year!

Stylized Embossed Birthday Card

I love this new stamp in the Annual Catalog called Stylized Birthday.  It’s a single stamp and is wood mounted.

I made this card when I was visiting my mom last month.  I usually go for an extended stay and I love that I can set up a temporary craft area when I’m there.  I brought supplies to make holiday cards but I needed to make a birthday card for a good friend and decided to work on birthday cards instead.  We can always use lots of birthday cards, right?

I’ve been trying to challenge myself to create cards that would be considered clean and simple and I have three different versions of the same card.  The one above has ribbon attached.  The one below is the same card but I added a few rhinestones.  I almost added more but I was having a hard time knowing if I was adding too much!  My friend Karen would say that you can never have too much sparkle!

The card below is made with Mint Macaron and is without rhinestones and without ribbon.  I used the Petal Burst embossing folder for all three cards but I think it’s most prominent in the photo below.  I really felt that it was way too plain but not everyone likes bling or ribbon.

On each of the cards, I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.

Another Layout with the Seasonal Decorative Masks

Several days ago I shared a card I made using the Seasonal Decorative Masks from Stampin’ Up! You can see it HERE.  For today’s card I used the same mask and colors to create my design and then sized it down for this layout.

Here are the measurements for the panels:  Dapper Denim:  2″ x 5-1/4″  &  Whisper White:  1-3/4″ x 5″

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Seasonal Decorative Masks by Stampin’ Up!

I am in love with a product in the Holiday Catalog that I bet you haven’t even noticed!  They are the Seasonal Decorative Masks and they are tucked away on page 43.  Each stencil measures 6″ x 6″ and there’s so much you can do with them!

One way to use them would be to simply place your Whisper White cardstock underneath the mask and create a fun pattern with a sponge dauber and an ink pad!

For my card today, I sponged Emerald Envy over the entire stencil.  Then I went in with Dapper Denim and randomly sponged.  I love how it turned out!

I used the one on the right for my card and the one on the left is just Emerald Envy.

The one on the right is Crushed Curry and the one on the left is a combination of Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.
