Simply Create Too- Wet or Dry Embossing Challenge

 

 Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Simply Create Too!  The challenge this month is wet or dry embossing.  I tried a new technique to me, and I hope you like it.

 This is a very easy card, but I love the way it turned out,

I first took a few different green rolls of washi tape that I had in my stash and I placed them on a piece of White Cardstock.  I then wrapped the ends around the card face.

I then used an embossing folder with leaves on it and ran the whole card front through my machine using the embossing folder.

I then used foam squares to attach the panel to the card base.

Lastly, I die cut the words from an Impression Obsession die and added it to the card base.

That is it. Quick and easy and you could easily do the same technique with scraps of paper or cardstock.

Now let's see your creations.  Create something with wet or dry embossing and join the challenge at Simply Create Too.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave me a comment.

 

Thank you card from Dreaming Tree

Hello Crafty Friends,

I love Dreaming Tree.  It is a great website for many great Cricut projects.  Today is a simple card.

All cardstock is from American Craft.  They have some great textured Cardstock that is perfect for something like this.

I cut the file at the A2 card style.  I then took the cup and embossed using the Fiddle Leaf Embossing Folder from Fun Stampers Journey to add texture. 

I then stamped the "Thank You", on the banner piece using Black Licorice ink and the stamp from Spellbinders. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.

Happy Love Day

Hello Crafty Friends,

Do you have washi tape in your stash?  Do you hoard it like I do.  I have a card to share with you that I created using some of my stash.

I started by wrapping strips of washi tape around a piece of cardstock.  I then took another piece of cardstock and die cut the three hearts out of the card panel and embosses the layer with the I Heart Embossing Folder.
I stamped the sentiment from a stamp set from Spellbinders with Black Licorice ink and matted them on Rich Coral Cardstock.  I adhered these to the card with foam squares.
I then placed the card panel on a piece of Rich Coral Cardstock and then onto the Card base.

Cardstock, embossing folder, dies and ink is from Fun Stampers Journey.
Washi tape: my stash
Sentiment: Spellbinders

Girl with sweater

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a simple card that I would like to share.

I recently was introduced to Stamp Anniething stamps and I am in love.

The card base is made from Cool Pool Cardstock.  I then made a layer of Cool Pool cardstock, that I embossed with the Cozy Knit Embossing folder from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then tied a bow around the layer with Cool Pool Satin Ribbon.

The image is the focal point on this card.   I colored the image with my Copics:
Sweater:  BG15, BG13
Dress: B13, B10
Bow: BG15, BG13
Hair: E29, E27, E25
Skin: E13, E11, E00, E000

I still need to work on my hair coloring, but I love the way she came out.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope I have inspired you today.

Sunflower Scarecrow

Hello Crafty Friends,

To me, fall means sunflowers.  I love sunflowers with their bright colors.

I knew I needed to create with this cute little scarecrow also.  I imagined he would be in a middle of a sunflower field.

I created the background with Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock, run through the Barn Wall embossing folder and anchored on Hazelnut Blend Cardstock, all from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then added a layer of Sunflower Pattern paper from Graphic 45.  I then added some twine and some burlap.
I then colored the Scarecrow with my Copics:
Overalls: B97, B95, B93
Shirt: YR68, YR15
Sticks: E37, E35
Hay: Y19, Y15
Hat Band: Y15
Hat: E35, E33
Face: Y23, Y21
Scarf and Patch: YG95, YG93

Thanks for looking.

Pumpkin Spice Season

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is that time of year, Pumpkin Spice Season.  I thought I would create a card to celebrate.

I bought this stamp set last year as the season was ending, so I knew I needed to make a card this year.
The base of the card is made with Orange Creamsicle Cardstock and a layer of cardstock embossed with a plaid embossing folder, both from Fun Stampers Journey.

The images are from Pink and Main and I colored them with my Copic Markers.

Pumpkins: YR27, YR68, YR15
Leaves and Straw: YG99, YG97
Caramel: E37
Plastic Cups: C2, C1, C00

I finished the card by adding some twine.

Doodlebug Scrappy Halloween

Hello Crafty Friends,

I love Doodlebug Designs paper, so I had to make a cute Halloween card using the paper line.

I used Fun Stampers Journey Cardstock for the base of the card.  I then used the Diamond Net Embossing Folder to create the background to the card base.
I then added a few strips of scraps of Doodlebug Designs.  I distressed them with Black Licorice ink.

I finished the card by stamping the sentiment from Fun Stampers Journey, distressed it and added it to the card with pop squares.  I then added a Licorice Twist Twine.

Doodlebug Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am not really a Halloween person, but with Doodlebug and their cute paper, I had to create a card.

I started with a layer of Black Licorice cardstock, which I embossed with the Diamond Net Embossing Folder.  I then swiped Whip Cream ink over the embossing to bring the pattern out.
I then cut two banners from the Doodlebug Pattern Paper.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Jack-O-Lantern stamp set on Whip Cream Cardstock with Black Licorice ink and distressed all the pieces with Black Licorice ink.
I then added the glitter spider on top, from my stash.

All supplies are from Fun Stampers Journey, except the pattern paper.

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are enjoying Spring where you are at.  The first day of Spring here in Southern California started out with a rainy day.  I love rainy days so I was fine with it.  But today, seems to be a true Spring Day for us.
Today I have a card to celebrate Spring and all the flowers that are blooming around us.

The card base it made from Whip Cream cardstock, with a layer of Whip Cream Cardstock that is embossed with the Pretty Plaid Embossing Folder.  I then layered a Pool Play Cardstock circle that I cut from Journey Circles.
I then stamped the daffodils from Hippity Hoppin Stamp set and Black Licorice ink, two on one piece of Whip Cream cardstock and one on another piece.  I then colored them with Journey Splash pencils and took my blender brush with water to spread the color around.  I detail cut these out and added two flat to the card and one with foam squares to the middle.
I then placed a piece of Create and Bloom Pattern Paper.  I then stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with Black Licorice ink.  I then fussy cut this out and used a foam square to adhere to the card.
To finish the card, I added a few rhinestones to the card.

All supplies are from Fun Stampers Journey and can be purchased here.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I want to share with you the last card we created in my card classes this month.

The card base is made from Pineapple Smoothie Cardstock.  I then layered two pieces of paper, one that I embossed with the Bright Days Embossing Folder and one piece of RSVP Pattern Paper.
I then die cut the scallop pieces from Bubble Gum Cardstock using the Border Essentials Die set. I placed these back to back on the card over the seam of the two pieces of paper.  I then added a strip of the same pattern paper over that seam.
I then die cut the Treat Label out of Whip Cream cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from Everyday Script with Rock Candy ink.  I then die cut it with it's matching die set. 
To finish the card, I added a few Silver Fashion Embellishments to the card front.

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is the last day of January and where did the month go?  2019 has kicked off it seems faster than any year before.   How you doing on your goals?

Today I have two cards to share with you.  I had this thought in my head when I saw this embossing folder, I was surprised how well my idea came out.

I thought the embossing folder would be cute as a sweater.    Don't you think.

I embossed with the Cozy Knit Embossing Folder a piece of Bubble Gum Cardstock and piece of aPool Play Cardstock for the sweater part.
I then sliced the top and bottom about 1 1/2 inches from the top in the middle with my paper cutter.  I then bent the pieces back to create the collar.  I held them down with a glue dot.
I then added the Sweet Candy Drops for buttons.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stay Cozy stamp set on Whip Cream Cardstock and detail cut it out.

Here is a closer look at each one:
