Inspire - Emboss Resist Technique

What a great technique Patty.  I used Zoo Review Stamp Set and VersaMark with White Embossing Powder for the giraffe. The Stamp Pads I used were: Basic Black for the Imagine (from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set), Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi, Cajun Craze, Baja Breeze and Daffodil Delight.   I cut the image out with Framelits - Labels Collection and another one size larger in Crumb Cake CS and ran it through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used a piece of the Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots Ribbon and colored some Basic Pearls with a brown Sharpie, (thanks for that tip too Patty). I mounted it all onto a Crumb Cake card base.

All these supplies will be moving on to the new 2012-2013 catalog!

Birthday Card for a co-worker

Here's the card I made for my counter-part in Bakersfield.  She loves shoes!  I used the flip-flop stamp from the Sunny Fun Stamp Set.  The striped DSP is Just Add Cake.  The card base is Melon Mambo CS and the ribbon is the new Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots Ribbon.  The happy birthday stamp is from the Bring On The Cake Stamp Set.  I used Elegant Egg Plant CS and ran it through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I added a little bling with the Jewels Basic Rhinestones.  I colored the shoes with Stampin' Write Markers and the Blender Pen.  I used the Large Oval Punch for the cake and Decorative Label Punch behind it.  I sponged the Oval with Early Espresso Ink.  Now all I have to do is get it in the mail!  :o)
