Silver Six-Sided Sampler

Do you use your catalog for inspiration? I do! This is my "Catalog CASE" or copy of page 105. All I did was change the colors a bit and add some silver thread. Six-Sided Sampler is a set I've had for a few years, but I think this card really makes it shine!

Woodland Sympathy

As I mentioned in my last post, one of my favorite things from the Holiday Catalog is this embossing folder: Woodland Embossing Folder. 6x6. 139673. $8.50

It works in any season, and for any occasion! With this card, I let the embossing be the star. To give a more dramatic, deeper impression, I embossed the folder on Watercolor Paper. A little bit of silver metallic thread was the only accent the card needed.

Super Impressed

I was fascinated by the MIX134 Mixability challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. You "press" flowers and leaves with your Big Shot!

Gardening is an even bigger hobby of mine than paper crafting, so I ventured out to my front flower garden, shears in hand. I learned a few things along the way: most flowers are too "juicy." I threw away a LOT of backgrounds that were just too gross to use. {smile} Plant blood everywhere. Also, less is more. Which is something I forget a lot when I'm crafting. Anyway, this is one of my experiments that turned out well, I think!

To make it "mixed media," I added some stamping in the new Archival Black Ink from Stampin Up, as well as a few pearls. The sentiment is from my favorite set, Watercolor Wishes!

Give this technique a try and see what you get!
