STAMPlorations Amazing Papers & Offer

This is only 1 example of the 9 themes of the new Artistic Crafter's Collage Paper Anthology.  These papers are 5.75 x 8, and WOW, WOW, WOW, they are seriously gorgeous!  You can check out the pre-order information HERE.  Shery has killer pricing!

Meanwhile, I wanted to share the 2 cards I made with the above papers, that literally took me less than 10 minutes to create!

I used my Cut & Scan to cut out the above cup [that I am in love with!]from one of the papers, adhered it on the stunning background panel, and added a sentiment from the Anywhere There's Coffee Stamp Set.

I went on and made another card using more of the cut out images.  I'm telling you - I LOVE these images!  Aren't they amazing?!!

 I used a sentiment from the After Coffee Stamp Set.

I don't usually go on and on - but really, I love just this set of papers - the other 9 are just as amazing!

Be sure to pop on over HERE, and check out the details 😀

CutCardStock Day

Gosh, I can't get over it is the last day of February!  Does your time fly like mine seems to do?  Retirement is a strange cookie.  

Okay - let's get to the card for today.

For this card I used the following CCS card stocks; Classic Crest 130#, Wild Blueberry Navy, Metallic Aqua Marine, and lastly, Natural Translucent (Vellum).  As you can tell, I actually used my hot foiling machine too!

It's a basic [masculine feel] card, and will totally work for my son who is enlisting into the Air Force!

See you next month!

February Instagram Embossing Folder Hop

It's time for another fun Instagram hop - Embossing Folders. Our theme is Luck of the Irish. 

I have nothing, nothing [!] for St Patrick's Day in any of my many [many] stamps.  That said, I made do with what I had, and used a sentiment from my friend the Internet!

I also added fun texture with a dot embossing folder. Surprisingly, I am pleased with how this turned out.  Yay.

Want to see some more cards using embossing folders?  The list of participants is HERE.
