Hello. Thank you for visiting my Blog. I started making hand made cards in January 2018 and now I create cards almost every day. I love making cards to give away to other people. When I discovered card making it lit a spark within me that drives me to always learn new things and make new cards every chance I get.I live in Western Pennsylvania with my husband and my son and our dog Karley, who is a mix between a yellow lab and a pit bull.

Hello. I am posting a follow up blog post for the Blue Knight Stamps Design Team project that I created using the new Blossoming Branches stamp set. These cards focus on how to incorporate fun folds, designer paper and embossing folders to enhance the design.
For my first card, I embossed one half of a piece of 4.25" x 11" ivory cardstock with the 3D Stylized Floral embossing folder from Spellbinders. I folded this in half to form a 4.25" x 5" card base. I then folded the front of the card base (the embossed section) in half to create the fun fold. I had a piece of floral designer paper in my stash and I glued that to the inside of my card base. I stamped and colored the large Blossoming Branch with Tombow Twin Tone Pastel markers then fussy cut the branch. I glued that to the embossed side of the card base (the front, outside). I used a Thank You sentiment (matted with light peach cardstock). I added a few peach gems to finish the card.
For my second card, I embossed a piece of 4.25" x 11" coral cardstock with the 3D Stylized Floral embossing folder from Spellbinders. I folded this to create a gate fold (scored and folded at 2" and 7.5"). I then trimmed a piece of floral paper and glued that to the left side of the gate fold. My Blossoming Branch was stamped on a piece of ivory cardstock and colored with Tombow Twin Tone Pastel markers. I then glued the colored panel to the floral panel and added several gems. I did not add a sentiment to this card. When I am ready to give it away I will stamp the inside, which has a piece of light peach cardstock.
My third card is not a fun fold, but I did use the same patterned paper. I stamped The Blossoming Branch image on a piece of ivory paper and colored it with the Tombow Twin Tone Pastel markers. I matted it onto a piece of light peach card stock and glued it to the left side on top of the patterned paper. I added a Thank You sentiment matted on a piece of light peach card stock. I glued several peach gems around the colored image. I glued all this to an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card base.

Hello! Today I created a card featuring a great stamp from Technique Junkies called Life's Little Blessings. This red rubber, cling mounted stamp from Technique Junkies depicts the sentiment: "Be Grateful Every Day for Life's Little Blessings." The saying is surrounded by delicate wheat shafts. This stamp is a great focal image for inspirational, encouragement and friendship cards, along with a variety of other cards and projects.

I stamped the image onto the ink blended panel with VersaMark Ink and then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I used a rectangle die to trim the stamped image, then layered it on a rectangle of gold cardstock, also cut with a rectangle die from my stash. I then used the Sizzix 3D Embossing Folder Elegant to emboss a piece of gold foil cardstock. I used this as my final layer then adhered the panels to an A2 top fold white card base.
