Pool Party Layers

I rather like the look of white on white cards.  So I decided to make a card using various embossing folders to create a Pool Party monochromatic card.  The largest card stock layer was embossed using the Couture Creations' Tied Together folder.  The two layers across the center of the card were embossed using Stampin' Up embossing folders with one layer being edged with the scallop edge punch.   Originally, the white heart was Pool Party, but it was just too much Pool Party~~never thought I would think that!  So I switched it out for a white layered heart.  If you have a favorite color of card stock, try combining layers of the same color, but different embossing patterns.  I do think that a little embellishment such as a pearl, rhinestone or tiny Pool Party flowers on one edge of the heart would be a pretty addition to an already pretty card.  Have a great day!

Crush Rerun

Today's post is a rerun of a cute little project I posted last February which was a big hit.  If you are a newcomer to my blog, last year I hunted high and low for bottles of Strawberry Crush and could not find a store in my area that carried that item.  So I settled for cans of Strawberry Crush.  I typed the "I have a        on you" on white card stock and "CRUSH" on real red card stock.  When typing the "I have a         on you" I did play around a bit as far as spacing so as to leave enough room  for the red heart.  I typed "CRUSH" close enough to the edge of red card stock so that SU's Full Heart Punch would easily surround the word.  Once again, I am on the hunt for bottles of  Strawberry Crush and have already purchased cans just in case! Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time.

Thanks A Ton

Once again I am using the pretty Sale-a-bration Pool Party ribbon against black card stock   This time I  embossed the black card stock with the new Honeycomb embossing folder.  The EF is something I wasn't going to purchase but am glad I changed my mind.  The little elephant with the sentiment is one of five stamps included in the SAB choice, Patterned Occasions.  The image was stamped using Versamark ink and then sprinkled with Pool Party embossing powder and heated.   I die cut and layered the image using the Labels Collection Framelits.  This is one of the cards we will be making at the February 9th and 10th classes. While keeping warm, find yourself a little stampin' time.

Sale-a-bration!

I have had success with uploading a photo to my blog~~YEAH!  I am using Google Chrome which I just installed on my little net book   Before downloading Chrome to any of my other computers, my net book is my tester and so far, so good..  Sale-a-bration starts today and nothing on this card is from the SAB brochure--hahahaha!!!  On the other hand, you could purchase some of these products to get to that $50 amount to earn a free SAB item.  The paper used is from the Print Poetry DSP paper stack (Spring Mini).  Although there are a few patterns I do not care for in the stack, for $6.95 I can make quite a few cards from the patterns I do like.  The sentiment is from Fabulous Phrases, a set that was a very worthwhile investment.  The colors are a couple that I seldom use~~ Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit, but the colors and the patterns work well. If you have any questions regarding SAB or the Spring Mini, give me a holler.  Keep warm!
