Stamps Made with Framelits

Did you know that you can make fun foam stamps

out of framelits?  In this example, I cut a piece of fun foam

(2 times to double the thickness) with the Butterflies Thinlits 

on page 172.  I glued them together and used this "stamp"

to stamp Blushing Bride Butterflies on a piece of vanilla c/s.
I added a strip of Tip Top Taupe embossed with the
Boho Chic Textured Embossing Folder and a strip of
Mint Macaroon Lace Ribbon to complete the card.

Quick and Steamy

I stamped with some friends this weekend, two of

whom liked the Steampunk style.  I decided to do my version,

using components from a retired SU Hodgepodge kit

and a focal image that I'd found at Goodwill.

There are a few retired SU background images,

and assorted do-dads.  Hope you like the "change of pace".

Fun Fold Watercooler Challenge WWC-29

Welcome to our second July Watercooler Challenge.

This one is great fun, Bev's fun fold challenge!

You're going to see some wonderful samples!

My fold is a very simple one, the Joy Fold.
You fold your 4 1/4 x 11 inch card in half normally,
and then fold the card front back up to the fold. 

I guess I was in a quiet pensive mood when I sat down

to make this card,  pairing of Mint Macaron

and Lost Lagoon.  (Sorry that I couldn't get the card to
lay flat when I took the card photo).

The fold component features the Lots of Labels Framelits

on page 173.  The focal image is from Lovely As A Tree

(page 86) and sentiment from Butterfly Basics (page 124)

I completed the card with the Silver Basic Metal Button

which acts as the closure.

Thank you for checking out my fun fold card.

Now scoot on over to the Challenge site to see 

the rest of the offerings.

Watery Every Blessing

I made this card when I was messing with techniques.

I wet & sponged a piece of watercolor paper and then, while still

wet, stamped the images from Every Blessing.  I added a bit

more water because I wanted it to be really distorted.

Don't know if I like the effect, but enjoyed the process.

Build A Birthday

This is the Build a Birthday Photopolymer set on page 11.

It enables nice cake layers, that work for masculine or

feminine events!  I added Tip Top Taupe lace ribbon

to finish off the card.

Awesomely Artistic Meets Tin

This card is a CASE of a catalog sample, but sadly I don't

remember which page.  Guess you will take my word for it!

It combines the Awesomely Artistic set on page 125 with

the Tin of Cards photopolymer set on page 110.

Both of these are GREAT sets.  

The Brick Wall Textured Embossing Folder on page 174

lends that rustic background.  I embossed the

Early Espresso strip with the Zig Zag Folder.
