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.

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!

We made these for the workshop right after the new catalogs came out.  You can put treats or small gifts in these bags, but we made tags to put in the new catalogs.  I love the Fabulous Florets stamp set!
