Golden Foliage Frame Thank You with Cheiron

Hi there crafty friends! It's Cheiron here with a simple yet elegant card using the new Foliage Frame stamp. This card was so easy to make and it would be easy to make a bunch of them at once. To start, I cut my panel of black cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4. Then I used my embossing magic pouch over the entire panel to make sure I got rid of all the static. Once that was done, I stamped the Foliage Frame using a stamp platform and embossed it using Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. Then I stamped and embossed the sentiment. 

To add the little dots of gold, I used a Nuvo Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer Pen. I have been using this pen on everything, especially for splatters. To splatter with it, I scribbled the liquid from the pen onto my glass mat, picked it up with a paintbrush and splattered it over my panel. Once the panel was dry, I added it to a gold mat and then to an A2 card.

That's all there is to this quick and easy card. No matter how many times I do it, embossing still creates a card that is sure to impress, and I love the elegance of the black and gold combination. I hope you will try this look out for yourself!

Thankful for Glitter

Hi everyone! It's Suzanne here today with another glitter card - I hope you don't mind! This time I used a fall color scheme in American Crafts glitter tape, and the sentiment from Thankful Turkey. I cut the tape into the shape of a very long parallelogram, making the flat bottom edge run parallel to the top of the sentiment and dotted line...LOVE how this turned out. You get a lot of bang for your buck using some glitter and a great sentiment...can't wait to pop this one in the mail!

Have a great day!

Holiday Thank You Cards

Hi everyone! It's Suzanne here... Are you ready for the New Year? I sure am, but before we say farewell to 2012 I thought I should make some thank you cards for all of the generous and kind people that touched me in some way during the holidays.

I wanted to keep my card pretty simple and graphic, so I started by heat embossing the chevron pattern from Little Tangles in white onto kraft cardstock. Then I diecut the Studio Calico patterned papers and added the Basic Grey alpha stickers to the tag, along with some matching red brads and candy cane ribbon. Last, but not least, I decorated the inside with some matching patterned paper and a sentiment from Kindness Matters.

Have a wonderful New Year! I hope it brings you lots of time for crafting!

Vellum Thank You Card

Hello everyone! Nina here with a another card using the Kindness Matters and Fresh Blooms stamp sets:

I stamped the beautiful blooms on some vellum, let dry and cut out. The layered effect is quite beautiful in real life.

I used Tsukineko Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink and let it dry overnight for this but you could also heat emboss to avoid the drying time.

Kindness Matters is a sentiment set that can make every card beautiful. You can check out more samples here and shop in the store here. Happy Crafting!

Simple Thank You

I needed to make a quick thank you for a friend, so I whipped up this little mini-card.  I just white heat embossed the sentiment and peacock, added some pearls, and colored in with my Prismacolor pencils.

I'm scheduling this post ahead of time, so for all I know my house could be floating away as you read this! I'll (hopefully) be back Monday with a real-time post to update you on the crazy weekend weather.
