Couch Card using Good Company svg file from Lettering Delights

I was dying to use the new Good Company svg file from Lettering Delights. At the same time, my husband needed a thank you card for a co-worker. I loved using this couch file. The yellow was cut first, with the red-polka dot and black layered on top. I had initially made a boo-boo by embossing the sentiment right onto the black cardstock. It looked really funny so I decided to punch a label out of yellow cardstock and emboss on that. The black and white ribbon helped masked my embossing mistakes too. Those mistakes actually made one darn cute card!

The first version. I tried to remove embossing marks with baby wipes - bad idea!


Supplies Used:
Couch Die-cut: Good Company svg file (Lettering Delights)
Patterned cardstock: Social Club (Cosmo Cricket)
Sentiment: One of a Kind set (Stampin' Up)
Red Embossing Powder: Zing Embossing Powder in Rouge (American Crafts)
Ribbon: Elements (American Crafts)
Punch: Vintage Label (McGill)
Gel Pen: White Gel Pen (Gelly Roll)

Mickey Mouse "Thank You" card

.

I created this thank you card for my son, Lucas, 2nd birthday. The Mickey Mouse face was cut with a file I created from welded circles using Sure Cuts a Lot 2. I free-handed the hat and added a white dot to the top. The sentiment was embossed using embossing powder and a dollar stamp from Micheal's. The Mickey border was cut from a paper out of the Disney pack from EK success. The squares fit perfectly on the card. An easy card to complete and make many of!

Supplies used:
Card base: Bright Color card pack (Halcraft)
Patterned paper and hat: Mickey paper pack (EK Success)
Sentiment: Thank You (Studio G)
Embossing Powder: Black (Ranger)

Anniversary Damask Card

I made this card based of a design from Unscripted Sketches - a fun site that posts a sketch every Saturday to "inspire" you! One of my favorite patterns is damask so I started with that as my base.









I also embossed a "damsky" design in the middle from a stamp set I had from my wedding back in 2007 (glad I was able to use it again). The embossing took countless times as I tried to repeat the pattern 3 times and also have it emboss without burning. I ended up stamping each one and embossing each one before I moved on to the next.



The "Love" metal sentiment was a great find at a rummage sale. It added a little vintage, romantic feel to the card.






Supplies Used:
Crillon 1 clear stamp set from Lil' Davis Designs - damask stamp
Say It With Style clear stamp set from CTMH - "Happy Anniversary" sentiment
Marcasite embossing powder - Stampendous
Vintage Black Damask paper form The Paper Studio
Black brads
Black ribbon
Cream and Red cardstocks
Black stamp pad

Happy Birthday card

This card came about as a way to use a flower stamp from my Grandma's stamp collection. I used glitter embossing powder and a clear embossing stamp with the pad. I also used the Sizzix purse and a "happy birthday" embossing folder to make the brown background. The pattern cardstock is from my fave paper pack from K&Company: the Amy Butler line.

Supplies used:
"Happy Birthday" embossing folder
Sentiment - "Say it in Style" clear stamps from CTMH
Pattern cardstock - K&Company Amy Butler set
Brown Gems
Glitter embossing powder

"Hello" Card

Hello, Hello! I made 4 identical "Hello" cards yesterday. I needed to try out my new "Vintage Label" punch and also use some fibers I got this week. The polka dots on the green, pink, and gray cardstocks were made using clear embossing powder and a polka dot stamp. Each strip was 1 1/2 inches wide and 4 inches tall. I also decorative edge-punched the gray end piece.

The patterned paper was a thoughtful gift from my sister, Emily. We love hunting Michael's from great clearance - this design was in a 24 pack of 12 x 12 sheets. They were such a great deal she got one for both my mom and me!

I finished the card with a "Hello" sentiment that I stamped on pink and cream paper I punched using the vintage label punch from McGill. I also sprayed the cream oval with the Perfect Pearls spray from Ranger to add an overall shimmer. Although I kept the spray about 12 inches away it still was a little thick on this small piece of cardstock.
