In preparation for making some September birthday cards, I found wonderful inspiration from Frenchie at her blog post: Beautiful Friendship, Stamp, Emboss without Layers.
CASEing Frenchie's card, I stamped the hydrangea and leaves from Stampin' UP!'s Beautiful Friendship set. If you have been following me, you know how much I love this set, a gift from my friend, Mona! Thanks again!!!
After stamping, I had trouble running the card front through my Cuttlebug. I was using a Spellbinders embossing folder called, Flowers and Leaves. I think this embossing folder is a little thicker than other brands. It would not go through my Cuttlebug with two B plates, the usual formula. However, I was able to run it through with just one C plate and the base! Glad it worked....well sort of...the impression is not too deeply formed... But I think I can send it out! I used a creamy card stock from my stash-brand unknown. It has a laid finish.
Inks: Stampin' Up! Lavender Lace and Wild Wasabi
For my second card, I just used a separate layer, 4 x 5 inches of Georgia Pacific 110 pound card stock. Stamped the Fiskars butterfly (Many Thanks set), the tulips from Stampin' UP!'s Spring Garden and the sentiment from SU's Simple Sketches. Attached to a card base of the same cardstock.
Inks:
Stampin' Up-Lavender Lace, Wild Wasabi and Rose Romance
Distress: Black Soot
Used a Faber Castell black PITT pen to draw the squiggle border
Thank you for visiting! Hope you are enjoying happy moments!
