June Technique Class - Embedded Embossing

Are you ready for the June Technique Cards?  You didn't I would forget would you?  Nope, I didn't forget and here they are!!

The June Technique was called Embedded Embossing.  By punching or die cutting a variety of shapes, adhering them to blank cardstock and then running that piece of cardstock through the Big Shot using an Embossing Folder will create a great background for your card.

This technique is so easy that you can easily reproduce these cards on your own.  That is what I love about alot of the techniques that I teach, I want you to not have fun making these cards but also easy enough to make them again when you get home.


Our first card using the fun stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Flower Shop.  I especially loved the bronze Washi Tape that I added to this card, it just added the right amount of contrast.
Stamp Sets:  Flower Shop, Botanical Blooms, Crazy About You
Ink:  Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy, Cajun Craze, Black
Paper:  Peekaboo Peach Base, Cajun Craze Layer, Whisper White
Accessories:  Affectionately Yours Washi Tape, Punch, Dimensions, Sponge Dauber, Boho Chic Embossing Folder

Here is the second card, the Swirly Bird stamp set is fast becoming a personal favorite.  The more that I use it, the more I love it!

Stamp Sets:  Swirly Bird, Thoughtful Banners
Ink: Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum
Paper:  Crumb Cake Base, Night of Navy Layer, Crumb Cake 2 1/2 x 5, Tip Top Taupe Scraps
Accessories:  Swirly Scribbles Die, Affectionately Yours  Designer Series Paper 2 3/4 x 5, Dimensions, Banner Punch

Here is the Fancy Fold card, it is a Window Card.  One of those cards that came together after I saw something similar but then added the fold and made the design my own.  Using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlets for the the water was genius!! 
Stamp Sets:  Swirly Bird, Crazy About You
Ink:  Pacific Point, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Black, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie
Paper:  Dapper Denim Base, Whisper White Layer, Dapper Denim scraps
Accessories:  Oval Framelit die, Swirly Scribbles Thinlets

And there you have it!!  Three great cards made at our monthly Technique Class.  Like what you see?  Wish you could join us?  Well I wish that you could join us too!!  If you can't make the class, I can supply you with the ingredients and supply everything you need (except the stamped images) in a kit.  Contact me if you are interested.

Thanks for stopping by, and as always, take care.

Birthday Cards for ME - Part 3

Here are the last of the birthday cards that I received for my birthday.  I received so many lovely cards from my stamping ladies that it just warms my heart.  Thank you each and every one of you!

This card I received from Joan Shadrick, what a stunning card.
I received this card from Judy Vine, she has become quite the stamper and it makes me smile every time I see Judy stamp!!
This lovely card was given to me by Mary Gorbet, don't you just love the water coloring?  So cute!!
 A cute card that I just received from Rachel McBride, and why not?!!  June is Dairy Month!
 This lovely card I received from Elizabeth Steen, she used the Jar of Love Framelit to make this cute card, I can't wait to take it apart and feature it for one of my classes.
I hope that you enjoyed all of the birthday cards that I received.  I will leave you with the beautiful verse that was stamped in my card from Mary Gorbet:

"Your birthday comes along with bright and sunny days.
June is such a special month in oh so many ways.
Here's a birthday wish for happy days to come,
and may your year be filled with laughter, joy and fun."

Thanks for stopping by, and as always, take care.

This Weeks Beautiful Card and Joke of the Week!

What a nice weekend it was, I took a four day weekend to go camping with the hubby.  Even though it was kind of hot and the fish were not biting for us; we still managed to have a good time and relax.  To top it off, our son, Justin and his family stopped in on their way home from their weekend of camping.  It was nice seeing them, especially my sweethearts.  Which is the inspiration of my joke of the week!

But first I want to share with you this lovely card:

This was also a card similar to one we made last month at our Technique Class using the Collar Fold. For this card I used the new Designer Series Paper Pop of Pink.  It is so great using this Collar Fold, because the you get to see both sides of the paper.  I think that the balloons added just the right amount of pop!!

Now for my joke of the week.  As you know, my little granddaughter, Andi, is quite the comedian.  I think that she got her dry wit from her dad, she just makes me laugh!  I hope that you get a chuckle out of this also.

Me:  So!  Are you learning anything in school?
Andi: Yep, lots!
Me:  Are you getting smart?
A:  Yep, I am the smartest person in whole wide world.
M:  Really?!  Smarter than daddy?
A:  Oh yes, I am way smarter than daddy!
M:  Smarter than Papa?
A:  Yep, I am smarter than both of them put together!!

And that's our Andi, four going on twenty-four!! She was smiling the whole time she was telling me this story.  Have a great day and I will be sharing more cards with you starting tomorrow.

As always, take care.
Cindy
