Pattern Paper Embossing

I was inspired by two challenges to pull out some supplies and create a few cards. The supplies came from an old Simon Says Stamp card kit, and I wanted to do some heat embossing onto pattern papers to create some simple cards. 

This first one was inspired by the prompt "thank you" at Always Fun Challenges.  For this one I stamped the border and the sentiment in Versamark and embossed in white, and then used some white snowflake sequins and pearls. 

My second card was inspired the photo inspiration at Just Add Ink. 

I was inspired by the snow in the scene and the consistent look the trees. 

 For this card, I used silver embossing powder and silver snowflakes.

Presents for Addicted to CAS

Did a little paper piecing for Addicted to CAS, inspired as well by an inspirational photo at StampNation (my favorite crafty place).

Paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques for using pattern paper.  These little guys were so tiny!  

Hope you find some time to get inked up today!

Beautiful Heart

Created a CAS card with some layers for CASology this week . . . the cue this week was "compliment". 

Here is my card, and I created it in a few colors.  The compliment . . . "You have the most beautiful heart." 

The first and last one are the same ink colors, but I stamped off on this first one to get a lighter color.  I think it's my favorite.  And this next one is definitely brighter! 

And again, same colors as that first one, but achieved a lighter version by doing some second generation stamping.  

Love the two step stamping.  Fun stuff!  

I hope you find some time to create today.

Kindness Changes Everything

A little bit of kindness for AAA Cards. 

One layer cards are usually tough for me, and only a sentiment on this one.  But the focal word packs a punch with two layers of color.  

I had a second card with one additional layer of color.  I think less is more . . . preferred the first one.  But always fun to experiment. 

I hope you find some time to create today.
