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!

More Gingerbread Men

My card today was made by Jenica, who is a member of my hostess club but also a member of my downline!  She signed up a few weeks ago to become a demonstrator and was able to get her ten free stamp pads!! This is the same card as the one HERE but she used a different design from the Snow Festival DSP. 

If you are thinking that it would be fun to be a demonstrator and receive discounts on your stamping supplies, feel free to email me with any questions you might have! It is a very easy process to sign up!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Old Olive Thank You

Here's another version of my card from yesterday.  My colors are the same but this time I mounted my paper onto Old Olive and put the pieces in different places.  You can have many different cards just by changing up the colors and placement!

I have a Stamp a Stack class tonight and I am really looking forward to it.  I enjoy sitting around a table and stamping with friends! I will post the cards we made next week!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

Sale-a-Bration Freebie

My card today is one that we made at Abbey's workshop last week.  The card uses one of the stamps that you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration!!  It is the Triple Treat Flower stamp.  You can also purchase it in the Idea Book and Catalog but if you place a $50 order, the stamp can be yours for FREE.  I love the versatility of this stamp.  I stamped it twice using my Pacific Point stamp pad and Melon Mambo.  Then I used the Fancy Flower punch and punched out the Pacific Point flower.  I used the 5 Petal Flower punch for the inside Melon Mambo section.  Some dimensionals help to pop the flower up! I also added some dimension with my Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder and my Big Shot.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Valentine Friend

Valentine's Day will be here before you know it!  Have you made your cards?  Here is a very easy card using the Heart Framelits dies.  I used it to cut a heart through the top layer of my card on the right hand side.  Then I adhered a red heart to the inside of my card, again using the Framelit die.  I stamped the heart on the right with the I (Heart) Hearts stamp set and I cut the heart out by hand.  Friend was made using the With All My Heart stamp set.  I embossed the front of my card and the heart on the left with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  Easy!

Thank you for stopping by!  If you would like to order any of the products used in my card, please visit my Stampin' Up! website!

Scallop Friend

I'm on a roll with my postings!! It is funny how you can start out making one card and end up with something completely different. That is what happened with this card although I am very happy with how it turned out. It was pretty quick and easy to make. I used my Big Shot, of course. The base is the Scallop Circle Bigz Die. I cut out the flower with Lap of Luxury DSP and Concord Crush cardstock using the Flower Folds die. I ran the base of the card and the middle flower in the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I love the look that dimensions give and used them on each layer. I love our pearls and thought they gave it a nice finished look. Thank you for stopping by! Please email if you would like to place an order or if you have any questions. You can also place an order by clicking the order button on the left side of my blog.

Just for You Bag

Today's post is a bag I decorated with cardstock and our designer series paper Autumn Spice. I love this paper and the fact that it is a heavyweight paper. I ran my pieces of Early Espresso through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka dots embossing folder. My leaves were stamped with the French Foilage stamp set and my sentiment came from the set Afterthoughts which is a level 1 hostess set. I used my Early Espresso marker instead of an inkpad because there were more words on the stamp but I just wanted, Just for you. It really made a plain bag very decorative and it didn't take long at all. Thanks for stopping by!

3x3 Cards

I've been making a large amount of 3x3 cards to take with me to a Holiday Boutique on Saturday. I think they turned out cute and were very easy to make. I used two of my Big Shot embossing folders: Perfect Polka Dots and Petals a Plenty. I used the Perfect Punches stamp set which is really one of my favorites. I punched the sentiment out with my scallop punch. The entire stamp set coordinates with a punch. I love that! If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please email me! I'd love to hear from you!

Joy

Here is another Christmas card I made. I based my card on a card I saw in the Holiday Mini on page 15. I made a few changes and used Garden Green with Cherry Cobbler. I always like to use my embossing folders with my Big Shot and used it this time on the Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. I also used the new Decorative Label punch on page 25 in the mini. Hope this inspires you to stamp today! Thanks for stopping by!

Cracked Glass Technique

We made this card at one of my Big Shot classes and everyone really enjoyed making it. I used the Cracked Glass technique and in person, the butterfly is very shiny. To make the butterfly I sponged three different colors on our Presto Patterns paper and then cut it out using my Big Shot and the Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die. Then I used clear embossing powder and my heat tool. I repeated the process three times. Very easy for such a pretty look! I like what the pearls do for the card and I think they are my favorite new SU! product! My inspiration for this card came from Dayanna Donng. I hope this might inspire you too give this technique a try! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me!
