Sweets for the sweet - Emboss Resist Technique

Monday, August 8, 2011

I got out my good ol' embossing gun to have some fun with the new Sweets for the Sweet stamp set.  I embossed the lollipop with clear embossing powder on Whisper White paper and used my sponge dauber in Wisteria Wonder across the embossed image after it had cooled.  Then I punched it out with my 1" circle punch and stuck it on with a dimensional.  The little rhinestone on the bow gives it a little bling!  :)


This card was made using all the NEW In Colours for 2011 and Designer Series Paper in Berry Blossom which coordinates perfectly (and happens to be on sale right now with the Buy 3 get 1 Free promo)

To create this card you will need:

Stamp Set:  Sweets for my Sweet (122512) 
Paper: Wisteria Wonder 8.5 x 11 cardstock (122922) NEW.  Berry Blossom Designer Series Paper (122350) NEW

Thank You Card - Compliments to the Chef

I am a huge fan of Thank You cards!  Here is a very simple card to send to a hostess after a wonderful dinner party!


You can easily change out the sentiment for a different occasion such as "Thinking of You" or just a simple "Thank You".   I used the beautiful Bella Toile stamp which is now retired but could be easily swapped for another huge stamp like Parlor Prints.  I stamped it in Daffodil Delight onto Very Vanilla paper.  I used Early Espresso Grosgrain ribbon in 1/4" to tie it all together!

Another simple 2 minute card!

To make this card you will need:

Paper: Daffodil Delight 8.5 x 11 cardstock (119683).  Very Vanilla (101650)
Ink:  Early Espresso Classic Stampin Pad (119670)
Ribbon: Early Espresso 1/4" Grosgrain (120931)
Tools: Snail Adhesive (104332).

Two minute card!

Thursday, August 4, 2011

OK, so this is one of my favourite cards.  It is so elegant that you can use it for absolutely any occasion.  Best of all, it is unbelievably easy to make using the Big Shot and it is really fool proof since the machine is doing all the work!  Since I used Night of Navy paper for the card base, I added a Whisper White Top Note.  If you use any lighter coloured paper you wouldn't have to add that to the inside.  
The two pearls just give it that final touch!

I love embossing folders!!!

To make this card you will need:

Paper: Night of Navy Cardstock (100867).  Whisper White Cardstock (100730).
Embellishments: Basic Pearls (119247)
Tools: Elegant Lines Embossing Folder (117335).  Top Note Bigz Die (113463).

Birthday Invite

Monday, August 1, 2011


Here is the final invitation!  I decided to change it up a bit and use three different styles of paper on the invitation base.


Which one is your favourite?? 

The invitation opens to show a super cute picture of the girls and on each side flap I printed off the birthday party details.  Taffeta ribbon is used to keep the card together and the "Look who's turning..." is stuck on to one side with a dimensional sticker.  Everything comes together using the 2010-2011 In Colors and the new Just Add Cake designer series paper!  I love the colour combinations!


To make this card you will need:

Stamp Set:  Look Who's Turning (114403)
Paper: Blushing Bride 8.5 x 11 cardstock (119796).  Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper (124339) NEW
Ink:  Concord Crush Classic Stampin Pad (119785)
Ribbon: Baja Breeze 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (122964) NEW
Tools:  Snail Adhesive (104332).  Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
