Stempel Spass

Hi Everybody, just a quick post today..... I made a card for this weeks  Make it Monday over at Papertrey,  where talented  Laurie Willison shows us how to use Cover Plate dies to create stencils to be used with embossing paste. I used my favorite new embossing plate from Papertrey to make this card and the colors I took from this weeks Colour Q  challenge.  I made myself a stencil form the cover plate, smeared embossing paste over it and let it dry. I then inked it with distress inks. The die cut sentiment is Papertrey as well, the happy is by MFT as are the die cut sequins.  Hope you like it! I am also adding this card to Simon Says Wednesday challenge - add a little texture    

I managed to make one of my "homework cards" from the CAS class - I was intrigued by those cute tiles that Julie Ebersole tought us the how to on day 1! Made it into a baby card: Used an ancient Sizzix die and a cuttlebug embossing folder. Some tissue paper, silver string and sequins. Its easy but the effect is great! I love it! I am also linking this card with the Snippets Playground - use a snippet (the tile paper) and with Happy Little Stampers - Embossing ( the tile is clear embossed) But I also love the effect you can achieve when layering cover plate die cuts, as Dawn McVey teaches us in this weeks Make it Monday. Looks cool, don't you think? Both the cover plate and sentiment are Papertrey. Added enamel dots. I am also playing with this card in: IN{K}SPIRE_me , using different greens and grey.    Seize the Birthday  - anything goes I thought I share - finally we got some snow - this is a picture of my front yard! ...
