Last month we played with The Greetery's Wildwood Bouquet stencils and embossing folder. It's a 5x7 card, so a big one! I stenciled first and then lined up with the embossing folder. To finish I added a few die cut flowers (dies were included in this bundle) for some dimension and were pop dotted next to my gold embossed sentiment.
You can see the embossing a bit better in this close up. I'm still dragging my feet on these larger size cards, but they sure do seem to be popular lately! But anyway, I like the way this one turned out!
Michele brought this stencil and die set and of course I forgot to write down the name and maker, but I think it might be Spellbinder's?. They're cute, but not my favorite...wish I had used different colors!
I absolutely LOVE the way these 2 turned out! Michele gifted me with the embossing folder after falling in love with it after seeing Donna Mikasa use it. (There's no name on the packaging, just that it's from Europe...maybe Michele knows??) Michele also had a new stash of Memory Box dies that she shared last week that included Wyatt (on the left) and that silly duck is Cozy Quaker also from Memory Box. The Oh Joy sentiment is from SU!'s Watercolor Christmas and the Merry & Bright is from PB's Yuletide Wishes.
I had brought this Kristina Werner 6x9 stencil set (Ornamental Christmas) to Michele's last week and we stenciled together. I love that you get 2 cards from the one larger piece. I finished mine with Kristina's A2 Thin Frame dies, the Merry Christmas from Waffle Flower and the snowflake also from WF.
Same thing as previous cards, just different colors. So easy to make and since I've been way behind on my cards this year, it was a no brainer to make another set! YAY for another 2 for the Christmas stash!!
I had also brought Unity's Mouse on a Merry Mission stamp set to Michele's last week and had fun putting these together! I colored them up with my Copics and then decided I needed to start using some of the dsp I've been hoarding for years and years and years. Both of the papers are from SU!.
Made a gate fold card with this one and the dsp is from PTI. I also used an old Cuttlebug embossing folder with swirls that reminded me of snow swirling around on the checkered and dotted dsp, although my photos only really show it on the dotted dsp. The framed piece is from PFS's Notched Corner Frames. Finished with a twine bow.
Michele let me play with her Altenew CYL Expressive Flora set and I just love the way the panel turned out! I love stencils that let you color the background a different color, and this one definitely did!! The panel when you're finished is about a 6x6 size, so I was able to make 2 cards from the one panel. The whole set comes with stencils, stamps, dies, and a embossing folder too, which I used on the thank you card. The sentiments are die cut from HB's Bitty Buzzwords stamps and die set.
Phew!! Are you still with me?! I know, I know...it was a looooong post! Michele and I hadn't stamped together since early last Spring though (busy with my 94 year old mom), so we had lots of catching up to do! As always, we had fun chatting, hugging, laughing, eating (chili at my house and potato soup at Micheles) and of course creating! It was SO good to get together again! Thanks as always for sharing your goodies with me and for the cool, cool embossing folder Michele...I so appreciate it! Make sure you check out Michele's post to see all her cards, as I know she'll blow you away with her awesome creativity!! And thanks again for sticking with me on this long post!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
