Wisteria Sunflower

An A2 card using white embossing powder and old olive 1/8" grosgrain ribbon.  Not the best photography here; a little blurry and washed out; but the wisteria wonder, elegant eggplant and lucky limeade are beautiful together.

These next two were made and photographed in August.  They show the true colors quite well.

This background stamp makes for a fairly quick card!  Ribbon is Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon.  Love it!  I also added a little Dazzling Diamonds with the two way glue pen...just doesn't show!

Stamp Sets:  Sunflower Background Stamp, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Short & Sweet

Fresh Vintage CASE

If you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you just might know I didn't design this card!  Sandi McIvor generously provided a PDF for this card.   I love the gold embossed border made with the Fresh Vintage stamp set, which is free with a $60 purchase until March 31st.  Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I made several changing some up a little; some with other sentiments from Teeny Tiny Wishes and some from another as shown below.

I flipped some of them over on their side and used a different sentiment.  This sentiment set is from Loving Thoughts available in the 2012 Occasions Mini until April 30th.

This sentiment is also from Loving Thoughts.  I wanted to show how I finished off the inside...it's a little dark though!

So check out the 2012 Occasions Mini

Dasher - Embossed Ribbon

Very Vanilla and Early Espresso were used on this elegant Dasher image.  I used both heat embossing and dry embossing.  My Very Vanilla ribbon was glued onto a piece of card stock and passed through the Big Shot.  It's a fun and easy technique!  Glimmer brads and the Northern Flurry decorative strip were used for the snowflake.

Christmas blessings!

Snowburst Christmas - Snowburst Embossing Folder

This card was designed by Andrea Walford, a Canadian papercrafter.  Andrea provided step by step instructions for this card, which made is easy and fun.  There is a lot of sparkle to this technique.  Craft white ink was used to rub over the embossed piece, sprinkled with Iredescent Ice and heat embossed.  The colors and sparkle are so pretty!

Great design Andrea!!
