Lovely As a Tree, Happy Moments

This was the companion card to the one I posted earlier – much more “butch”, if you can describe cards that way! Dry embossing gives that textured look on the Kraft paper and I snipped off a portion of it to resemble a ribbon near the bottom of the card. The “for you” sentiment is […]

Lovely as a Tree, Vintage Labels

I needed to make a couple of generic quite masculine cards and this is what I came up with. I dry embossed the Kraft card stock in a herringbone pattern, used the eyelet border punch on the short bottom edge of Kraft and Very Vanilla card stock, adhered both layers on to the Really Rust […]

Inspiring Inkin’ # Challenge 19

This fortnight’s Inspiring Inkin’ challenge is a sketch challenge and the twist was to use a Sale-a-bration set.

I inked the Bella Toile background stamp […]

“Good Neighbors” , Vintage Labels – Sale-a-bration

Using a combination of “Good Neighbors” and the Vintage Labels SAB sets – with Sage Green, Whisper White card stock. Inks, Sage Green, Night of Navy, Bravo Burgundy, Bashful Blue and Versamark. Actual card is 3.5″ square. Loving this set too. I cut the roof separately so didn’t need a stamp-a-majig to place the roof […]

Happy Moments – Sale-a-bration

No time to blog – a quickie using Happy Moments. Just love this zig-zag embossed edge punch. Sadly not from Stampin’ Up! I am sooo late with all my thank you cards – yes, I’ve still got letters and cards to write so I can cross another one off my list! The colour combo on […]
