Birthday

Happy October.  How is everyone doing today?  Are you enjoying the cooler mornings? Its so dark in the mornings now but I sure do love this time of the year with all the fall colors.  Today's card is far from being fall colors, but I hope you like it anyway. 

Using an embossing folder and a sand block I made
the blue background as the base of the card,

The flower was in my flower stash.  I'm not sure
but I think it's from Recollections.

I added two different kinds of lace and added
ribbon bows. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day!

Embossing Folders

Good Morning! I made these cards using a new embossing folder I bought at Joann's. The embossing folder is by Darcie.  Not that I needed another embossing folder but they were on sale plus I had a coupon. Just can't pass up a good deal....LOL

The paper is a white core CS so once you emboss
it the white shows through. I ran a sanding block
over the CS to bring out more of the white core color.

The happy birthday is a die cut.

On this card I used the back side of the CS
where the white core doesn't show but the
embossing impress is reversed.  

Do you see the difference between the front and back?

Spend some time crafting today, relax and enjoy your day.

Embossing Folder and Crayon

Happy Tuesday to you! I saw this technique on Pinterest.  I am sure you all have seen it but it's new to me so I thought I would give it a try.  You take a piece of CS and emboss it with an embossing folder.  You then run crayon over the embossed CS, add ink and the waxy crayon shines through. It was a fun technique.  All this week I will share the cards I made using these four pieces card stock (CS).

The top left piece was the first one I did and you can
see I didn't use enough crayon.  

For the  first card I used the green and orange CS on the left. 

 

I am sending these cards to the OWH so I didn't use any 3-D or bling.
Instead I made my own embellishments with punches and paper.

Thank you for stopping by have a super great day!!
