Inlaid Embossing

Inspired by a card made by my good friend and fellow SU demonstrator, Paula Dobson, I used the Inlaid Embossing technique to make this card. I have used the same colours and layout as Paula but used a different technique to get a slightly different result.

The stamp set is 'Mixed Bunch" from the current Mini and I have used the Square Lattice Embossing folder to create the textured, fabric look.

Acetate flower and dotted scallop ribbon punch

I was trawling the net for ideas recently (as you do), and came across a cool technique on Zoe Tant's blog using Stampin'Up! window sheets.

I also found a lot of blogs using a punched border technique on a 3" square of card. I altered the size to fit a card front, combined the two techniques and came up with this.

The border uses the Dotted Scallop Riubbon Border punch.

If you would like to learn either of these techniques, email me for a class schedule:)

Acetate card

Inspired by Jacque Pedersen, I CASed this acetate card with a couple of minor changes.
I love the way that from a distance the card appears to be floating in space:)

Baby Cards

Don't you just love these "cabbage Patch" style baby cards. I di not design these myself. I got the idea from Dianne Low who got the idea from Sherri Leigh Freese ( an Australian SU Demonstrator)

I used DSP from Beau Chateau. The petals and leaves were made with the Build a Blossom stamp set and the coordinating Blossom Petals Builder punch.
