Wedding Cake

This card was created for the wedding theme challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments (HSSTC 117). I dry embossed vanilla card stock and used the 1 1/4" square punch to punch out the squared and adhered them to black cardstock. The scalloped circle was made using the Pennant Die. I stamped the cake from Love & Laughter on Vanilla card stock and punched out with a circle punch. Small punched flowers with pearls were added to the top of the cake and a black satin ribbon bow was adhered to the card. This sketch is an older one from MOJO Monday.

I received the new in-colors and some other new items I was able to pre-order. I'm hoping I get to play with them soon!

Wedding Cake

I'm sorry for the bad picture. I could not get a great picture of this card. The card uses Very Vanilla and Basic Black Cardstock. The scallop circle was cut using the Scallops Die Cut. The wedding cake from the stamp set Love & Laughter was inked in Black Staz On and stamped on a vanilla circle that was cut using a circle cutter. Flowers were punched out and added to the cake. The Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch was used on black cardstock for the edges of the embossed vanilla strip. This card uses the  sketch challenge, SQSC23 found here. The vanilla and black on this card gives it a classic look.

Edgelits & Framelits

Are you ready for some cool new products? Edgelits and Framelits!!! Look at the cut on the edge of the card below to see the effect of using an edgelit.  Two edgelits titled, Adorning Accents, will be available in the Occassions mini catalog. They are metal dies used with the Big Shot. After using the edgelit, I embossed it using the coordinating Adorning Accents embossing folder. Another new accessory is framelits. I used the Labels Collection Framelits around the cake. Framelits are metal dies used with the Big Shot. They are open in the middle, so the image can be stamped and then die cut. 

Calypso Coral/MOJO 221

This card was created using the sketch from MOJO 221 found here.  This card uses some more new items. The dress was stamped using the Love & Laughter stamp set and then cut out. I added some Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon on the bottom of the dress and one pearl at the top of the dress. I used the square die cut for the card base. The designer paper and brad are from the sale-a-bration catalog. Are you ready for sale-a-bration?!? It begins January 24. 

Sneak Peek and Challenge

I had some time to stamp for fun. I made this card after seeing the colorQ Challenge 117 found here and used the layout from Stamping 411, Sketch Challenge #235 (SSC 235) found here. The challenge was to use black, white and one other color. The card uses designer paper from the Twitterpated pack and the cake was stamped using the set Love & Laughter. Both of these are in the Occasions Mini Catalog that starts January 4.

Wedding & Big Shot

This week has been crazy busy!  I am doing a garage sale with a friend, we had track & field day at school, I'm moving my stamp area to the basement so our house is a mess, and Noah's birthday party is Saturday.

The cards above I made with my friend & fellow demonstrator Brenda Hukriede (check her out if you are in Eau Claire, you won't be disappointed with her as your demonstrator!).  Her gals had made this at a class she had and she cut an extra for me to stamp.  Isn't it a beautiful card?  To make this card, you cut the two hearts with the Big Shot Movers and Shapers die, then send it through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  Cut two black heart out using the Heart Embossilit and then make your top hearts with the heart punch for the tux shirt and dress.   The tux also has a black punched heart that is folded back for the tux.

Thanks for looking.
