Embossed Bermuda Kindness

Taking a break from holiday cards for another day, here is another of the Tealish color scheme cards for my workshop next weekend. 

The card is done in Bermuda Bay.  I ran the Whisper White through the embossing folder to give it the same polka dot effect as the flower had once heat embossed.  I contemplated cutting out the big flower and putting it up on dimensionals but I didn't want the card to take much longer than it did since it was for a  stamp camp!  That would look really pretty though!

Once embossed, I cut out the flower using the Apothecary Accents Framelits and then sponged it to bring out a great shade.  I may not be a big fan of these colors but I think that sponging is a beautiful effect for the card.  The center of the flower is punched from the leftovers of the framelit and sponged as well.  Attendees will be able to put rhinestones in the center as well if desired.  The banner is using the Bitty Banner Framelits like on yesterday's card.

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Whisper White (2 @ 5 1/4 x 4, scrap), Bermuda Bay (8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 5 1/2 x 4 1/4)
• Ink: Bermuda Bay, VersaMark
• Stamps: Gifts of Kindness
• Accessories: 1/2 Circle Punch, Big Shot & Cutting Mats, Multi-purpose Platform, Magnetic Platform, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Heat Gun, Embossing Buddy, White Embossing Powder, Powder Pal (retired), Daubers, Dimensionals, Adhesive

Have a craftastic day,

Chalk Talk Convention Swap

Taking a moment out of my last minute swap prep for Convention to post another of the general swaps that is complete for this week.

This card allows me to teach my customers how to do the chalkboard techique while using a few of my favorite products in the catalog like the magnetic platform and the Chalk Talk Bundle.  The bundle includes the stamp set and the framelits for 15% off! 

This card showcases how you can use the Big Shot in your paper crafting.  Embossing Folders & Framelits bring dimension and texture to cards with very little effort.  While not a glitter gal, I have to say that this card is made by having a small glitter brad right on the top!

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Real Red, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White
• Ink: VersaMark, White Craft Ink
• Stamps: Chalk Talk
• Accessories: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and Mats, Chalk Talk Framelits, Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder, Hearts Framelits, Chalk Marker, Sponge, White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Powder Pal, Embossing Buddy, Glimmer Brads, Paper Piercing Tool & Mat, Dimensionals, and Adhesive

Craftastic Notes:

• If using framelits and embossing folders, make sure you do the framelit first.  Otherwise, the pressure of putting the cardstock through the Big Shot to cut it will flatten out your embossing.
• This card has a sneak peek of our Chalk Talk Marker available on August 1st!
• When doing the chalkboard technique, you use VersaMark and white embossing powder to do the saying but a sponge and White Craft ink around the Basic Black cardstock to make it look chalked.

Have a craftastic day,
