Welcome to the Joyful Stars August Blog Hop. Thanks for joining us this month. If you have arrive from Michelle's Blog then you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants on Joyce's Blog. I have been working on the Here's To You kit that is a special available until the end of August. The kit makes 7 beautiful cards and a scrapbook page. There are four exclusive stamps in the kit too!
Today I have a card that I made using one of the stamps in the kit. The stamps are beautiful and I thought the size of it would make a lovely 5 X 7 card. The paper is from the Documented paper pack. The sentiment is embossed in white and it really stands out on the Bashful cardstock.
The second card uses the Rose Embossing Folder that comes in the Here's To You kit. First, I embossed a piece (on the flat side) of White Daisy with the Rose Embossing Folder. Then, I put Bashful Ink on the inside of the folder and embossed another piece of White Daisy cardstock. It does not show up very well in my photo, but the Bashful Ink gives a very light pink to the areas between the raised lines. The inked piece lines up perfectly with the white piece so the pattern is continuous.
The sentiment "On this day" is from the CTMH Exclusive Artbooking cartridge - you can find the image on page 38 of the booklet. I cut the image four times in white daisy and then once in Bashful Glitter paper and glued them all together using Liquid Glass. This raises the sentiment above the embossed card and really gives it dimension. I put the stacked sentiment on top of inked embossed paper and traced it and cut it out the shape. Then I glued the "On this Day" to the cut piece of embossed paper and matched it up with the White Daisy piece. I added a few Mini Sparkles as embellishments and adhered the white piece to a 5 X 7 Bashful card base.
The Here's To You special is only available until August 31 so be sure to contact your consultant to order yours today!
Now it is time to hop on over to Joyce Gough's Blog.
Beautiful cards, Betty. I really like what you did with the designs.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! Although both are gorgeous, I especially love the colors of the first one and the addition of the vellum!
