embossing folders

Last Christmas my stamping group had our own holiday party. Part of that adventure was a crafty themed gift exchange. Not going out and buying new necessarily, but cleaning out old product that you don’t use anymore and making a gift of it.

Today I have made this special handout for a Sunday lesson I am teaching and I was able to use some of the fun gift I received. The embossing folder and lovely sequin trim to be specific. I sure had fun experimenting. The paper I embossed on is a heavy water color paper and I thought I would be doing something with a dark blue wash. It didn’t look like I wanted, so it stayed clean. I think it turned out rather nice.

I made an extra for a different friend. She always posts these super inspiring quotes on Facebook that bring me so much joy and hope. I thought I would share back my way. I love good friends, I truly do. We all have a greater purpose and I hope the young women I am teaching today can find a way to theirs.

Have a creative day!

Another wonderful day with many adventures ahead. I feel so blessed and grateful to be able to spend time here with my children. How fortunate I am to have a husband that allows me to do so.

This lovely card came together pretty darn quick. A few simple layers with my favorite sponging left it nearly done. I wanted to use the trim without covering up the beautiful embossing from my favorite embossing folder. I think everyone should have this one. It is so great to have a tool like this that can be used in so many ways. So I just attached a simple knot of trim instead of a card front wrap.

I chose the pattern of the DSP with the tiny flowers. It went better with the nature look of the trees. A touch of dimensional a went with the sentiment layer only. Simple to make and easy to mail. Sounds like a win to me.

Have a creative day!
