February Demonstrator Swap

Hi everyone. Today I have the cards from our February Demonstrator swap. This month, the challenge was to make an Easter or spring card using 2 different kinds of embossing techniques (heat embossing, texture plates, embossing folders, letterpress plates, etc.). So, first, here is my card. I used an embossing folder on the background and heat embossed the little girl by first stamping in black craft ink on glossy card stock and then adding clear embossing powder.

Here is Merrigrace's card. She used a texture plate to emboss the base, and then covered it with Celery chalk. The 2nd form of embossing is on the patterned where she used an embossing folder.

And here is my mom's card. The background is embossed with an embossing folder and the cherry blossom is heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Aimee's Birthday Thank You

Hi everyone! I have one last Rapunzel item from Aimee's birthday to share with you. This is the thank you card I made for her to give to everyone that came to her party and sent gifts. As with the other cards, I printed out the image on the computer and then layered onto my card. I am glad that I am finally done with all the birthday hoopla! Now, on to the next thing! :)

Aimee's Birthday Invitations

Today I have my daughter Aimee's birthday invitation to share with you. She is turning 6 this year and decided to have a Tangled themed birthday party. I found an image online that would work for the invitation, sized it just right, and printed it out on Whisper White card stock. Then I simply layered it on Perfect Plum and Not Quite Navy card stock. I stamped the You're Invited image, from the Inviting stamp set, on the bottom with Perfect Plum ink. And that was it! Super easy!

February Technique Class

Hi everyone! Today I have the projects from my February Technique Class to share with you. I had my class the day before Valentine's day, so our projects were all Valentine themed!

First, we did this card using the inset embossing technique. This technique was definitely a hit this month! Everyone loved how simple it was, yet what an impact it makes!

Next we did this card. I have posted this card before. It is one I had done by using the brayering technique. I had this card on display at my January class and everyone loved it so much that they asked to make it! So, we did!

Next we made these cute heart pouches out of the petal cone die. If you leave the die cut flat after cutting it out it is heart shaped. I tucked some tissue paper inside this one to show how you can make a little gift out of it. I made a few extra of these and filled them with Valentine candy for my valentine's (see previous post).

And lastly we made this card, which I call my "secret love message card". This is actually just a card base (does not open up - someone at class called it a postcard). We cut out the little scallop envelopes out of vellum and then embossed them to dress them up. Then we made the little love note to tuck inside!
