Embossing Folders

Happy Monday!  I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and that you were able to adjust to the time change with Daylight Savings Time in effect.  It is always difficult the first day, isn't it?  I did enjoy the fact that it didn't get dark until later in the evening!

I spent my Sunday working on a video for today.  I have a new computer AND a new editing program so it took some time trying to learn it.  Thank goodness for YouTube videos as I saw some there that helped me out!! I tend to be a perfectionist but realized if I waited for this video to be perfect, I would never post it!!!  So, here it is!

Last week I spotlighted the Big Shot so I wanted to make a video showing how to use the embossing folders.  I LOVE my embossing folders and use them on 95% of my cards.

Have a great day!

Sunny Fun

This is a cute card using Sunny Fun in the Summer Mini catalog. We made this at my Hostess Club meeting and some people chose to use the popsicle image. There are three images in all and they are all adorable! I think this is my favorite set in the mini catalog. I used my watercolor pencils and crayons again with my blender pen. This time though I put Crystal Effects on the thongs to make them look shiny. If you haven't used Crystal Effects before, it looks like a glue but dries shiny. A really nice effect!

Thanks for stopping by!

Flower Quilt Card

Here's another card I worked on yesterday using the Fun Flowers die again. I cut out squares using the 1 1/4 inch punch out of Lap of Luxury DSP and Concord Crush cardstock. I actually worked on this for hours using three different colors of cardstock and two colors of DSP. I would try one pattern, not like it and try another and another . . . . . In the end this is what I decided upon. I ran the cardstock pieces through an embossing folder after I punched them out. It is quite a large card but will still fit in the envelopes that Stampin' Up! sells. The embossed pieces make the card feel really elegant. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for stopping by!!
