Another Message in a Bottle

Message in a Bottle is such a cute set!

This is going to my grandsons in Maryland...they truly "octopi" my thoughts!

I made a bottle by stamping the bottle image on Whisper White paper using Smoky Slate ink, and then cutting out the inside of the image.

I backed the paper with a piece of Window Sheet and adhered the Pool Party (stamped with the octopus) underneath, using Dimensionals.

The anchor and shells are from Seaside Shore; stamped and cut out and adhered with Dimensionals (the Mini Dimensionals are perfect for these smaller pieces).

The Pool Party base was run through the Big Shot with the Seaside Embossing Folder. And a few strands of black Bakers Twine, tied in a bow, finish off the card.

Do you think my 6- and 4-year old grandsons will understand the message?

Marquee Messages meets Embossing Paste

A few weeks ago I shared my "card fail" using the new embossing paste and the brick mask. (see it here and laugh!)
But I had made a second sheet of "bricks" and was trying to figure out what to do with it. And then inspiration struck:

A movie marquee on the side of a building! HA!

So yeah, I know...I guess I've lost it...my mind, that is. But I actually think this is kinda cute; don't you?

Lots of dimension here; the entire "marquee" was cut out, leaving a space in the middle for the YOU ARE words (also fussy cut), and everything is popped up on Dimensionals.

Details:

The bricks are done with Embossing Paste colored with Cajun Craze ink refill, and spread on Very Vanilla cardstock using the Pattern Party Decorative Mask.
Marquee Messages was stamped twice; once in Night of Navy on Very Vanilla, and again (just the arrow part) on Daffodil Delight.
YOU ARE was stamped in Cajun Craze and colored (ombre style) with a Blender Pen
Card base is Night of Navy with a mat of Cajun Craze.

Except for the cutting, this was a pretty easy card to make.

So what do you think? Better than the last brick card? 😊

Heck Yeah!

Here's a Card Club card from July:

What a great sentiment!

Great Big Greetings really are GREAT BIG GREETINGS! And so much fun to play with!

This simple (yet eye-popping) card came together in minutes. And club attendees had two color choices, Berry Burst or Lemon Lime Twist. Which is your favorite?

See the background embossing? That's the fabulous new Garden Trellis embossing folder--whooeee! Lots of texture and so pretty!

Each card had a matching Bitty Bow:

And look at those mini sequins! Squeal! They are totally adorbs!

Fun card; fun evening; fun friends! We meet monthly...wanna join us? Contact me for details.
