Another card based on Connie Stewart’s Flash Cards.
I wish the photo captured the shine on this fish! I used Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and it turned out so great, if I do say so myself! The texture of the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder works very well with the fishy theme too. Love it!

I thought this birthday card would be great for men. I used Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, and Basic Gray.

So quick and so elegant! The Tag Topper Punch makes them quick and easy. We used the same gold embossing powder, gold foil, sequins, and Washi Tape on all of them, but everyone made them in different colors of card stock. They all looked great! I think they would look great in Real Red or really any dark color. I can see making hundreds of these for wedding or party favors.
The Night of Navy sample has a wider bottom and they fit a Hershey’s Nuggets just right. Even better, the ones with Almonds come in a matching gold wrapper!

I had to look up Ikat and listen to how to pronounce it. According to the Merriam-Webster site, it’s \ˈē-ˌkät\ It’s not I catch, but more like he caught! It refers to a way of weaving the color into fabrics. The designs are usually repeating and that is so easy to do with these clear stamps!
I love the photopolymer stamp sets. They are clear through and through and stick nicely to the blocks. Most of the images have not quite been my cup of tea, but I like the way the stamps work a lot.
A few people have reported that the ink doesn’t stay on the stamp. I had no problem, but if you do, I’d suggest cleaning them with soapy water or even just using an eraser to rough up the stamping surface just a bit. I suspect there may be oil residue from the production of the stamps. Once that oil is gone I think you’ll love these stamps as much as I do. I have heard rumors they may have a presence in the annual catalog that comes out June 1st, 2014.

I love the Envelope Punch Board! Sure, it makes at least 63 sized of envelopes. But it also makes boxes of all sizes, snowmen, and gift card holders. When you open this one up the gift card starts to life out of its pocket. It’s become one of the tools that rate a “close at hand” place in my craft corner.
Thank you, Jackie Topa, for the idea!

One big stamp for the background, a greeting, and some a little extra bit of stamping for grunge. We used the Decorative Label Punch to get the top edge of the banner. Add a bit of Chevron ribbon. Designer Series Paper peeks through the Chevron Punches. Then we lined up the punched pieces to decorate the inside.
