I love this stamp set!  I didn’t want to show anyone how to make this card because I wanted it to be a special card if I gave it to my stamping friends as a birthday card.  I relented, but I still make this card a lot.  I’ve changed the colors to more somber ones to use as a sympathy card too.  So easy.  So beautiful.  What could be better?   Click for supply list and printable directions.  Blooming with Kindness 5-4-13

Update

What could be better?  How about this card?  I used different colors, embossing, a cut out with my Stamp Out Fussy Cutting pieces, and a paper saving strategy.  Love it!

Tea time?  Or do you need a shot of Joe to get you going in the morning?  Personally, I need my coffee!  This stamp set lets you have it your way.  The Early Espresso card stock, ink, and Baker’s Twine fit right in with the theme.  I love the Designer Frames Embossing Folders!

Feeling Sentimental Card 2-9-13

I tried the Chalkboard technique for these cards.  Instead of black we used Midnight Muse.  I think the sentimental look works well with the chalkboard.  I’m wondering if it would work better on black, but I like it this way too.  The one on the left was done without a Big Shot.

 

Step it up with Window Frame Framelits and texture with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

I love this embossing folder!  It’s definitely great with Core-dinations card stock and it’s great for Christmas cards.  If you look carefully there is a tree and a bell in the raised pattern.  But done in different colors and perhaps an embellishment over those elements, it works great for other events and themes too.  I’ve got my fingers crossed that Stampin’ Up! brings this back, or at least something like it.

These treat bags were made with the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit.  But I’m not really much into ghouls so we used the googlie eyes on owls we “built” with the Owl Builder Punch  I think he looks much better decorating this treat bag.

 

Step It Up:  I also suggested running the bags through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  It works great!
