Hello and Welcome!
A happy Saturday to everyone! I hope everyone had a great week. We enjoyed a few days of unseasonably warm weather and with a preschooler and Boston Terrier in tow that kind of weather is always welcome!
In between park dates and dog walks, I managed to craft a few cards using a few of the challenges that were out for the week. In addition, I wanted to throw the spotlight on a specific product from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. I choose to focus on the Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for today's card. You can check this product out on page 176-177 of the Annual Catalog as a part of the Share What You Love suite (which is one of my personal favorites). It goes along with one of my goals to start using the embossing folders more now that I have my Big Shot (which I also love!).
So here is today's card...
Step-by-step instructions
1.) Start with a piece of Basic Black card stock cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" as the card base.
2.) Trim a piece of Gray Granite to 4" x 5 1/4". Adhere to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
3.) Trim a piece of Fresh Fig card stock to 3 3/4" x 5".
4.) Using the Big Shot, emboss the Fresh Fig card stock with the embossing folder. I did not want to cover up the too much of the flower once the sentiment piece was adhered to the card, so I embossed the paper only about 1/2 from the top of the paper. The left plenty of blank space at the bottom for the sentiment. Adhere to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
5.) Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White card stock. Using the smallest rectangle stitched die (Whisper White sentiment) and 2nd smallest rectangle die (Basic Black), crop the sentiment section and adhere to the base with mini Stampin' dimensionals.
6.) Adhere three self-adhesive pearls to the top right corner.
This card was inspired by the following challenges...
