Stunning Swallowtail!

Hello!

Here is a card using the gorgeous Swallowtail stamp and Pool Party Stampin' Emboss powder.

I actually went a bit wrong when I embossed this one...I mis-stamped it so it had a big gap which is why I have used it like this! I do really love it though!

You can see the shimmer of the embossing better here.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamp - Swallowtail

Ink - Versamark

Embossing - Pool Party Stampin' Emboss

Ribbon - Basic Black Two Tone

Punch - Scallop Trim Border

A Little Love & Laughter

Woohoo! It's Friday!

Well that was a short week wasn't it?! Unfortunately I don't get a day off now until Tuesday but I guess that's the price to pay for a Bank Holiday off!

So here is a card that really should not have taken that long to make last night, but somehow it took almost 3 hours! And I'm not entirely happy with it after all that either!

I have used the Love & Laughter set, along with the Elegant Lines embossing folder and the sadly retired I{heart}Hearts stamps and punch. 

I used some shimmery card from my stash for this one and made an A5 tent fold card. I also used Pink Pirouette Two Tone Ribbon and Crochet Trim.

Can you see the sparkle on the cake? Wonder how I did it? Well, I dabbed Versamark onto the stamp, then stamped onto Regal Rose, then Pink Pirouette inks before stamping onto my card. I then sprinkled with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder before heat setting. I think it looks lovely and really does sparkle in real life!

Morning!

Not much time to chat this morning as I'm on my way to work...just thought I would quickly share a card I made last night...

I have tried a couple of things I've never tried before on this card....The first, and most obvious is the frayed ribbon. This is the Two-Tone Ribbon in Pink Pirouette from the Spring/Summer catalogue and it was already a little frayed when I opened it, so that gave me the idea. 

The second technique is stitching....actual stitching, with a machine!

I bought the machine 2 weeks ago and haven't had the courage to use it! But here it is...not perfect, but then I'm liking that!

Supplies

Cardstock - Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette

Designer Series Paper - Subtles, Neutrals

Framelits and punch - Hearts Collection, Small Heart

Stamp - Vintage Verses (SAB)

Ink - Basic Gray

Ribbon - Two-Tone, Stitched Grosgrain

I am really loving the grey and pink combo, but then anything with pink is a winner lol!
