Embossing Fun for a Sweet Birthday

 Hello every one! I hope that your long weekend was fabulous. We had lots of rain and no plans but to relax a bit. For me that meant catching up on some photo edits and blog posts. Popping in for a quick share today of a sweet card for another granddaughter birthday.

Did you know that Jennifer and Kristina gave a new card class recently on Embossing folders? It was informative, and so fun to pull those folders out to play. 

For this card, I used a 'diffuser' so that I could leave an area without embossing for my images. I've had it forever but never used it. The stamps are also new. These adorable bunnies are from Penny Black transparent set called "Cuteness."

After embossing the outer part of the panel, I stamped the focal point  in the off-center circle and colored with Copics very simply. Then, I used masking to ink the embossed part, using light blended strokes. I was going for a pastel look but got a bit too heavy handed in the top left corner. I know my sweetie will not mind. She's two! 

I loved using this technique and will try it again soon as it makes it easy to dress up a one layer card. 

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

Polka Dots and Birthday Buds

Hello dear friends, welcome to a new weekend!

I put a few more images I had stamped and fussy cut the other day to good use on a card made for Freshly Made Sketches.

I just love these critters from BB Birthday Buds (MFT stamps). I colored them with Copics, pairing them with Polka dotted paper (from PTI) and scattering a few sequins into the mix. Clear Nuvo drops over the balloons and a scalloped border die add texture.

Isn't this a unique sketch? 

Hope this brightens your day. With all of your staying in, have you found a way to make Friday special? I'm still thinking about it. 

Wishing you well, stay well!

I am popping in quickly to share a birthday card made for our sweet G's birthday! I have been watching for THE unicorn stamp that I liked and this is it! Nothing better than a unicorn and rainbows theme, especially when they're this cute! 

Couldn't have been easier to make and color. I layered the striped paper over the white panel and die cut them together. The die cut circle was used for the inside. 

Now, as easy as this was to make I must add that I didn't make it until 2 hours before it was time to leave. Am I the only one who waits til the last minute to make a card that is hand-delivered? I chuckled, thinking that if I'd made it two weeks ago, it would already be "old" and I'd want to make a fresh one. 

Comment if you are also crazy enough to do this! And have a fabulous weekend my friends. Remembering some of the  hugs I received from the family has me feeling quite happy!
