simple texture

I've been dying to try this technique for quite some time. I just couldn't figure out which stamp set would work well with it. Betsy's Blossom turned out to be the one! 

First I stamped some flowers and leaves in the corners of a Whisper White rectangle. Then I ran that through the Big Shot in the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. 

I love the amazing texture and the fact that the card took me ten minutes to create!

Happy stamping!

Impressive gift card holders

In our family, August is one of our big celebration months! That's because my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law all have birthdays. And my in-laws celebrate their anniversary in August. So we find a day for all of us to gather and have one big party for everyone!

The party was yesterday. And true to form, I waited until the last minute to wrap their gifts. Thankfully, their gifts were all gift cards, and I had been working on a new gift card holder card! This was my brother-in-law's card, and he said it was the coolest card he'd ever seen! High praise indeed from a manly man!

To open the card you have to pull the belly band out from under the main image. And then you ate treated to a little surprise. A pop up card!

This one was for my mother-in-law's birthday, and for my in-law's anniversary.

It's a two-for! Because I had waited til the last moment to craft these cards, I was happy to combine two events into one card.

And this one was given to my sister-in-law.

Her husband said that the card was better than the gift itself! I've got to be honest, even though we were celebrating my family members, I felt like the superstar if the party!

Happy stamping!

CASEing cupcakes

I saw a card on Pinterest that I immediately fell in love with! And I decided that I needed to CASE it. Here's a link to the original card.

If you've never heard of "CASE", in card making, it stands for "copy and share everything". Sometimes you come across a card that you just adore. And you have to have! So you CASE it!

I wanted to make a version that would work for a man, so I changed up the colors. A good friend of mine was telling me that she loves aqua and orange together, so I used Pool Party and Pumpkin Pie! Love this color combo!

Happy stamping!
