For those of you that have not tried out our wonderful fabric, this is a great card to try it on.  I cut out a square an inch bigger then what I needed to cut out the scallop square. I then cut out a square a bit smaller then the fabric, of the Adhesive Sheets.  Peel one side off of the Adhesive Sheet and lay it on the backside of the fabric.  I then took my Bone folder to press the Adhesive Sheet good onto the fabric.  Then you run the die through the Big Shot (I used a shim of paper because the fabric is not as thick as paper, to get a clean cut). 
I hope you enjoy this card!

Vintage Vogue Birthday

Here's a non-traditional birthday card for you that I created last night!  I love embossing on cards, can you tell!!!  Most of my cards have embossing on it and this one is no different.

This card is a pretty simple card to make...it just has many steps! You need your trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp on the Old Olive Paper, unless you are a pro at lining up the stamps. I tend to do all my stamping and  my punching before I even think of using my Dotto(and make sure you emboss the cardbase before you glue)!
Enjoy!

You are going to want to emboss the Rich Razzleberry with the Perfect Polka Dots Folder and wrap the ribbon around it using some Mini Glue Dots before you adhere it to the cardbase.  Then you get to stamp your images and play with all your wonderful circle punches!  For the scalloped circle I stamped twice and
I used 2 Stampin' Dimentionals in between the two layers.
I hope you enjoy this colorful and fun card!

Wedding Cake

I made this card for our cousin's wedding.  I love this stamp set and do not get to use it often enough!

Stamps: For the Bride 113216
     (not in the catalogue, but IS still
      available)
CS: Basic Grey 121044,
Whisper White 100730
DSP: Elegant Soirée 117163
Punch: Scallop Trim Border 118402
Organza Ribbon 5/8" Whisper White
(need 23") 114319
Mini Glue Dots 103683
Dotto 103305
Stampin' Dimentionals 104430 (used 5)
Mat Pack 105826
Paper-Piercing Tool 116631

I wanted to make this card elegant, so the Organza Ribbon was just what I needed.  Combine the ribbon with the wonderful border punch and it was just the right accent I needed.  I used the bunny ears technique (I have a horrible time tying bows and this is the best way for me). I did some piercing around the stamped image to dress it up and then placed 5 Stampin' Dimentionals behind the stamped image to have it pop out from the Basic Grey mat.

Have a great weekend everyone!

This card you have to do a bit of cutting by hand for the pumpkins.  The bigger pumpkin you glue right to the cs Cajun Craze and then put 2 Stampin' Dimentionals on the back of the smaller one to give it a little "pop".
