Clean and Simple (CAS) Copper Leaves Thank You Card

This card is inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest — it didn't use Stampin' Up! product but I knew I could make it with my SU supplies.  I love cards with lots of white space but I also love embellishments.  I resisted adding anything else to this card, leaving all that glorious white space.  The photo is a little wonky so I could get the copper to show.

Start with a base of Thick Whisper White.  With a pencil I hand drew an arc.  Using the leaf from the May Flowers Framelits I cut the leaf 3 times at varying angles then trimmed the lower right edge off with my Paper Snips.

 

From the Copper Foil paper I cut 3 more leaves.  I embossed a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Whisper White with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and adhered it to the back side of the front of the card.  Then adhered the copper leaves with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive .

Emboss the greeting with Copper Embossing Powder.  I used the thank you from Thoughtful Banners.  That's it!  Fast, easy, elegant  — change the greeting to whatever you need!

Tip:  The cool thing about using photopolymer stamps, as I did here, is they can be shaped a little.  I added just a little curve to the greeting to match the line of the arc.

Thanks for looking!

BOO! Halloween Card

There was an Pumpkin Pie "O" die cut sitting on my desk, and it made me think of a pumpkin so I ran with the idea. I grabbed the Large Letter Framelits and cut the rest of the word. These pumpkins won't scare anyone though.

The Woodland embossing folder  embossed on Tip Top Taupe provides the background.  I only embossed the top 3/4.  The "ground" is Always Artichoke cut from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  I stamped the stem from the Jar of Haunts in Basic Black and used my Blender Pens to add a little color.

To make the embossed trees stand out a little more I used an Aqua Painter to highlight the raised parts then used the Clear Wink of Stella for the lines in the trees.  While I love my little pumpkins, turns out the trees are my favorite element on this card.

Base card is Always Artichoke, the top layer is Tip Top Taupe layered onto Basic Black

Thanks for looking!

Santa's Sleigh, Oh Deer!

Here is another peek at a bundle, Santa's Sleigh and the coordinating thinlits, from the Holiday Catalog, available September 1.  

Using the "selective embossing" method I embossed a circle of snowflakes with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  I used the largest circle in the Layering Circles Framelits to make a template so I could pierce the circle with the Paper Piercing Tool.

The trees are stamped with Always Artichoke Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock. One is stamped directly on the card layer, the other two are die cut.  The deer is stamped onto Tip Top Taupe Card Stock with Early Espresso Ink.  I am beginning to think I like Tip Top Taupe more than Crumb Cake and I LOVE Crumb Cake!  Which is your favorite?  I stamped the greeting in Real Red and cut the words apart.  The Red Jingle Bell (available September 1) is tied on with Linen Thread.

The Blender Pen was using to pull a little color onto the branches and I frosted the edges with the Clear Wink of Stella.  I added a layer of Always Artichoke Card Stock between the two Whisper White layers.

Thank you for looking!  Are you getting excited for this catalog?
