A couple embellished events

I am always trying to come up with simple cards that aren't supply intensive to do with customers to convince them to stamp and of course purchase products. Of course, I am never happy with the simple cards, I started an entire class and ended up doing only these three cards before tossing the rest of the class........ Grr.... Oh well, it was a rough day and sometimes, I just need to play with paper to feel better, even if it doesn't amount to the best projects

Don't forget to comment now thru Feb 14 so you can enter for a chance to win this set..... You can comment on any post from now until then, each comment will win you an entry.

Summer Afternoon Hostess Set and... Valentines Blog Candy

It has been a crazy week with my day job, I haven't been able to stamp or post all week... ;( So, I made a quick set of cards using this great hostess set, called Summer Afternoon. Maybe, I am ready for the cold weather to be over, but I really enjoyed playing with this set.

The first two cards, I used a baby wipe on my ink pad to get a water color effect, I really love the way it came out with subtle color and billowy look. What do you think about this technique? Have you tried it?

The last card was inspired by split coast stampers, it wasn't an out and out case, but inspired by another card I saw there. I embossed the card stock with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, skimmed it over the top with some ink so I could give it a distressed look ( I just love the distressed look, I can never get enough) I did the other two cards after this one and I am super tempted to go back and add the water colored grass and sky to it as well.

Finally, this is what the stamp set looks like, AND, I am going to give one of these away to one lucky blog reader. I am trying to get some business traffic to my site, you can really help by leaving comments. All comments submitted between now and Feb 14 will be entered into a drawing for this great set on Valentines Day. So, Please, comment away for your chance to win! This is a hostess set, which retails for $17.95 clear mount and $23.95 wood mount.

Hugs!! Angi

Print Poetry Sweet Essentials Class Part 2

I have been working on this class all week, I am excited about most of the cards, some of them are not my favorites, but I am so happy with others, they are just gorgeous! You can see the other 5 cards here, if you missed them

I can never get enough of the Manhattan Flower embossing folder, I think I could use this until it falls apart. Blue and Brown together are one of my favorite color combinations, I love the way they look together.

I wanted to get a male and a female birthday card out of the papers I was using and there were some great papers in the Print Poetry pack, but I was running out of scraps (using only one of each two-sided pattern) So, I had to come up with these two cards using the scraps I had remaining from the other cards, I think they came together okay, I still think the female Birthday card could use something more behind the packages, but, I didn't want to bust out any more papers for it.

Earlier this week, I played in the LNS color challenge, which inspired me for this card, In retrospect, I think this patterned paper might have been perfect for the birthday card, I might play with the papers a little bit more and see if I can come up with the right combination. Besides, I like the way these flowers came out better than the ones I I did for the SO Kind of you card, so, I might need to play a little more to get the right combination.

Finally, I love this little baby, but I think again, the card needs something else, I was all out of paper and just used scraps to make a heart border, but I am not sure I am happy with the way it came out, so this one is probably going back to the drawing board too.

Finally, don't forget there is blog candy available, just comment on any post from the week (one entry per comment) and I will draw the winner tomorrow for this great set from the sale-a-bration catalog. Read more details here

A sneak peak of my next class: Print Poetry Sweet Essentials

I have been working hard on my next class, Print Poetry Sweet Essentials and wanted to share a peak at the first few cards. This class is heavy in Sizzix die cut elements and features the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper and the Sweet Essentials Stamp set. Of course, it is heavily inspired by Pinterest.

I am trying to feature various punches, dies and techniques in this class, I really hope I haven't over done it, but I just can't help myself.

The colors are rich and vibrant and I am excited about all the items from the framelits collection that I was able to feature in this class.

Inking, Stamping, Sponging, Brayering and die cuts are all featured in this class.

What do you think of these cards, I think this one below,is my favorite, You can't see it in this photo, but the card base is also Basic Black.

That's all I have today, I was very busy this week preparing for my workshop tomorrow.
