Heart Embosslit

Embosslits cut and emboss the design at the same time, so you run it through your Big Shot once and get this fun little heart cut out complete with a fun scalloped edge and dotted swiss raised dots.
I used a 2 x 3" piece of designer paper on this design and you can easily change this card to a masculine card just by changing the designer paper and the color scheme! Some Glassy Glitter adds that extra special flair to your card (use the Sticky Strip to adhere this with ease!) Ribbon was a fabulous bargain from the Clearance Rack at Stampin' Up!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sympathy Card

We did this card at stamp class last night. I think I'll do more Sympathy cards at future classes as it is something we always seem to need so we are always looking for new card design ideas.

The "Square Lattice" embossing folder was used for the long green piece. I think that texture is my latest favorite. You'll find it in the Summer Mini Catalog, pg. 24, #119976 $7.95. Mini Catalog runs through August 31, 2010.

Brown felt ribbon was on the Clearance Rack (on www.stampinup.com) a few months ago. You have to check that out, most items are while supplies last so they don't last long ...check frequently. Flower image was a stamp from a retired set, any stamp that fits in the large oval punch will work. The green label shape behind that oval is a die cut image from the Matchbox die. Butterflies are made from Daffodil Delight cardstock (new color in upcoming catalog!) from the butterfly embosslit.
TGIF,
