Let's Look at Embossing
I recently shared my love of embossing, so imagine my delight to see this video produced by Stampin' UP!:

Throwback Tuesday
I keep hearing bloggers and others talking about "throwback" days, and decided to made today a Throwback post. I recently dug out an older card, made with a wonderful retired stamp set (I bet many of you already own this one), and realized it had been made before I began blogging. So here's to the old:

One of my favorite retired sets is French Foliage. It is such a beautiful group of leaves, perfect for this time of year. I'm so sorry it's gone (but so glad I kept it!), but a similar look could be done using either For All Things, or Fall Fest (which even has matching Framelits--yippee! no fussy-cutting). Better yet, try using Designer Series Paper cut with the Autumn Accents Bigz die--this would be stunning!

Once each leaf was stamped and cut out, I dabbed it in Versamark Ink, and sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder. After heat setting, the process created leaves with a little more heft, and they could easily be adhered to the front of my card using Dimensionals.
But wait! There's more!

Look behind the leaves--I had taken a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the leaves all over it. Then I placed a piece of Cardstock Vellum on top (adhering under where the leaves will be placed on top), to create a lovely see-through effect.
I may just have to pull out this old technique and create a new card using current products...what do you think?

Simple Christmas
I'm all about simplifying this year. Having had an extremely busy year at my "real" job, and after totally over-committing in the month of December, and (of course) procrastinating on all the things I NEED to do, it's time to simplify my Christmas cards.
While participating in a craft fair last weekend, I strolled about admiring the crafters' items, and stumbled upon another Stampin' UP demonstrator (Hi, Annabelle Lewis!). She had a really pretty (and easy!) card for sale; I bought it and took it home to play. Using her idea for the ornament, I added another layer and some embossing to make it mine. What do you think?

This beautiful white-on-white card comes alive with the gorgeous Gold Foil ornament, punched from the retired Ornament Punch (which just happens to be on sale on the Clearance Rack!). I cut a card base of Whisper White (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") and folded it in half. Another piece of Whisper White, cut to 4" x 5-1/4", is scored on all four sides (on the BACK side) at 1/2".
The sentiment from Four the Holidays is embossed in Gold embossing powder and the layer was added with Dimensionals.
The Gold Foil ornament was run through the Big Shot with the Sophisticated Stripes embossing folder, a small bow was added, and it was popped up with Dimensionals.
Easy and done!

A Special Anniversary
Yesterday was the 5th wedding anniversary of my son, Matt, and his wonderful bride, Sarah. I mentioned in an earlier post that Matt is currently stationed in Texas with the Air National Guard, becoming an intelligence analyst. He has been gone four months already, and won't be home until Christmas. So for a combined birthday/anniversary gift, I sent my daughter-in-law to Texas for the weekend (and I volunteered to take care of my two grandsons, ages nearly three and nearly one!--and that's another story!).
So of course I made a special card for them. I had nothing in mind as I began to create, but was extremely pleased with the end results. It just kinda happened!
I started by stamping the blooms and stems from Field Flowers on Whisper White, using Old Olive ink for the stems and Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie for the flowers.
Next I inked up En Francais with Versamark and stamped it over the flowers, embossing it with Clear Embossing Powder and my trust Heat Tool. I finished by sponging the Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie ink, along with Crumb Cake all over the front, and then spritzed it with Smooch Spritz.
Love was die cut from the beautiful Gold Foil paper, using the Expressions Thinlets die and the Big Shot.
This front panel was layered onto a piece of the Gold Foil, then on Old Olive and finally onto the card base of Early Espresso.
Since this was an unusual-size card, I created my own, custom envelope using the Envelope Punch tool, which is super for this task.
