Quilt card for Shirley

It was my mother-in-law's birthday recently, so I had to make a blue card!  I decided to use the new Twitterpated DSP and made a quilt card.  The square lattice embossing folder really makes it look quilted!

The card base is Baja Breeze with accents of Island Indigo, Riding Hood Red and Pear Pizzazz.  The sentiment is punched out with the curly label punch.  I couldn't resist using that Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon and the Teahouse background stamp.

Happy stamping!

Inlaid embossing bookmark

We made this bookmark at last week's workshop.  What a great way to use up scraps of DSP!  I cut 5 pieces of DSP 1 X 2 and adhered them to a layer of Old Olive cardstock 5 1/4 X 2 1/4.  I ran that whole piece through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice embossing folder.  We adhered that to a piece of Cajun Craze 2 1/2 X 6.  That left room at the top to punch a hole and add 6" of Marina Mist narrow taffeta ribbon.  We added butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Sizzlit for some dimension.  Punched flowers would look great too!

Happy stamping!

Inlaid embossing

My friend Rhonda lent me her Cuttlebug and Big Shot dies and folders, so I have been playing a little. This technique is called inlaid embossing. It uses an embossing folder, some cardstock and punched or cut-out pieces. The Square Lattice embossing folder works especially well for this technique. You simply punch or cut out some images, adhere them to another piece of cardstock, and run them through the Big Shot in the embossing folder. It looks like an inlaid design!
My color combo is Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight. I used a few different circle punches for my shapes. The finishing touches on my card are: scallop border, Pacific Point ribbon and Daffodil Delight ink spritzed onto the card base.
