Embossed Resist – Hello Doily 10-8-11

Embossed Resist – Hello Doily 10-8-11

This card is really gorgeous in person, if I do say so myself.  You would think there’s an actual doily on the card!  Stamp the doily, emboss with White embossing powder, and keep on hand for just about any event.  Sponge with an appropriate color, add as sentiment, and you’re ready to go.  This photo shows a spider and Basic Black sponging for Halloween, 5-Petal Punched flowers and Cherry Cobbler sponging for Christmas, A Basic Pearl embellishment and Crumb Cake sponging for a lovely wedding card, Pretty in Pink or Pink Pirouette sponging would make a nice card for a baby shower, 5-Petal Punched flowers and Perfect Plum or Old Olive for perhaps a birthday or even get well.  You get the idea.  This is a great card to keep on hand!  And to think it requires very few tools: Hello Doily and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets, Whisper White or Naturals White card stock, White embossing powder, a Heat Tool, and one or more stamp pads.

Lolly Embellishment – Gently Falling 9-10-11

Lolly Embellishment - Gently Falling
Lolly Embellishment – Gently Falling 9-10-11

I’m not sure what you call the accordion folded embellishments…. lolly, medallion, rosette?  There may be more names for them, but I called them addicting!  Stampin’ Up! sells a die for these now, The Designer Rosette Bigz XL die, $42.95  #125594.  I don’t have the die, so I make them fairly easily with the Simply Scored Tool.  A tip:Score a full sheet of Designer Series Paper then slice it into strips 1″ wide or more.  I used the Simply Scored tool to add a border to the card base too.  I combined the lolly on this card with a large button.  I sponged a little Shimmer Paint on the inked stamp to add some sparkle.

You might assume the stocking punch is only for Christmas, but it can do a lot more than that.  Here I used it for argyle socks and ran some of the wood sheets through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  I think it would be great for a man in your life.

I received a similar cake as a swap at the Stampin’ Up! convention in Salt Lake City.  Can you believe I still have it?  I mean, I’m finally posting this project over 2 years ago!  Thank you Kathi Boresh from Ohio!

Then one of the speakers showed the stand.  Of course they had to go together!
