Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone,  I made this card  a while back and did not get around to post it. I finally have to show it to you, before the challenges I made it for are closing..... I used my Memory Box snowflakes and a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder (old by now). I spritzed the blue paper with Fireworks spray, before I embossed it. I also had spritzed the card stock for the snowflakes with the same spray. The sentiment is heat embossed onto sliver grey card stock. It is from Hero Arts.

I played around with color embossing after watching Heather's video on Make it Monday #101. I started with the grey PP and put the big yellow blossom in the bottom left corner, but had totally forgotten, that this yellow despite being opaque does not work.....Grrrr... So I took white cardstock and simultaneously color embossed both. I covered that mishap on the PP with some green leaves - I still like the end result. All stamps are  Papertrey - Beautiful Blooms and Dress Form. Tonight I won't be able to make cards - have to work until late :( At least its quiet enough for now to get that blog post out and link it up with Make it Mondays . Thank you all for visiting and those kind an  uplifting comments you left on my blog - they always put a smile on my face :)

I am an old copy cat.....I saw a lot of people going through their card creations of 2012 and though that is such a neat idea! My blog only exists since October, but I certainly have cards from every month. And here are my favorites from 2012: January: February: March: April: May:    June: July:   August:   September:   October: November:   December:   As you can see, I could not decide on single cards for each month, so I choose two. Oh well... Lots of pictures, I know. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed them. But regardless - I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and lots of crafting fun for 2013!!!!

Just a quick post today. I cleaned up my stamp room for hours last night, as we had friends over today and their daughter wanted to make some cards. I came upon this card from the October Hero Arts scramble: Clearly, something could be done about this. I cut away the yellow embossing that failed so miserably, glued it on pink card stock, choose a similar color for the sentiment strip and - voila!  I am now happy with the result! I submitted this card to the Simon Says thinking of you/sympathy card challenge http://simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2012/11/simon-says-thinking-of-you-sympathy.html Well, and thanks to Lin I am also submitting this to the Playdate cafe challenge - I guess it fits :) http://theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com/ The Chevron stripes are from Hero Arts - Zig Zag Thanks, sentiment Hero Arts - Essential Messages Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed it!
