Stampin' Scrub

The Stampin' Scrub is once again available for ordering. While you might notice a slight difference in material, the same high quality standards and functionality remain the same.

Little Purse Nugget Holder

Today's post is a photo of the little favors I made last night for the ladies attending the Brayer Class this afternoon. Based on the cute chickees we made at Easter, this is a quick and easy Mother's Day favor. It would also be the perfect favor for a wedding shower or an afternoon tea. And like the chickee, you could add a name to the lower front portion of the purse and have a place setting card. Have a wonderful day!

A Birthday Card

I have been so busy making Easter favors and Mother's Day cards, that I needed a few birthday cards. This particular birthday card is a great masculine card. Made with Night of Navy and Crumb Cake cardstock, a little tearing of the edges gives the card a bit of a distressed look. The randomly stamped sentiments are from the Fabulous Phrases set, which has become a favorite of mine. Not only do I like the words that are included in the set, but I like the font a whole lot! Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Embossing Folders

The two cards I am posting today are really very simple. The pink (Blushing Bride) card is probably the first one I have posted using both the In color blusing Bride and the embossing folder, Manhattan Flower. To be honest, I prefer Pink Pirouette if I am making a light pink card. But I have the pattern paper from the In color pack, so I really should use it. I embossed the pattern paper using the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. Since the pattern paper is white core, I sanded the embossed pattern which reveals the white layer of the paper and really looks pretty. Now the Concord Crush card is embossed with the new Flower Garden embossing folder that is in the Summer Mini. One important thing to know about this embossing folder: In the mini, the embossed image appears to be on the left side of the card. In reality the impression is on the right side of the embossing folder. With some playing around , I was able to position the image so that it is on the left side of my card. (And now you are probably confused!) I punched an oval in the Concord Crush and then stamped an image in the center of that oval. Two simple cards, both embossed and yet both so different. Have a great evening and Go Blackhawks!
