RainyDay Stamper

A Special day

 

deserves a special card.  I think this card could work for a wedding or a anniversary

I love the clean look of Black and White with just a bit of colour and this time it is sparkly colour-our Red Glimmer paper,

The card base is Whisper White then I used a layer of Basic Black for the tiny mat.  The main image is a sentiment from Full Of Life and I embossed it with black embossing powder onto Whisper White.  Then using our Heart framelits, I cut it out. I love how you can place those dies exactly where you want them.  Now I wanted a smaller mat than the next size of heart in the set so I traced the framelit onto to the back of the glimmer paper and free hand cut it out added a little bit. The heart is hanging from the flourish from Baroque Motifs which is also heat embossed and used a bit of the retired silver cord (gee I hope that comes back this year, I am almost out!)

Inside I embossed the greeting from A Word for You and added a couple more Glimmer hearts.

Don't forget to decorate your envelope , again I have used the Baroque Motif swirl and embossed with Black embossing powder.

Happy Stamping,

Woo Hoo

It's Friday again!  Did this week just fly by for you too?  I guess that's what happens when you are busy right?  \

Today's card started from a Stampin' Sucess (a magazine that all SU demos receive) issue from last July and I changed it up for the supplies I had on hand.  First thing I did was change the direction, making this a tall card.

 I just love Daffodil Delight and Basic Black together, bright but grounded by the black.  The swirl is from Baroque Motifs and is stamped in Versamark and then embossed using clear embossing powder.  I used the Fancy Favour box to cut a strip for the edge

 it adds more dimension to the card and then a strip of Basic Black and a piece of 1/8" Black Taffeta ribbon (love the fact that it has white on either side) and the flowers are from the Hostess set Punch Potpourri.  I love this set as all the images just punch out and this one uses the Boho Blossoms punch.  Add a simple sentiment punched out with the Modern label punch, lots of Basic Black brads and you have a lovely card.

Happy Stamping,
