Translucent Floral Sympathy

You may have noticed last week that I did not get posts out every day - that will likely be the case this week as well. We are busy shipping seed potatoes and getting ready to plant as well. 

I have two different designer series paper patterns in the background of this card, one is from the Fresh as a Daisy collection and the other is from the Translucent Florals collection (this is no longer available). My die cuts were made with the Everyday Details dies and the sentiment comes from the Kindest Expressions set.

Lifetime of Happiness

I really like the deep impression the Layered Florals Embossing Folder leaves on card stock and I have used it as the background on this wedding card with Petal Pink card stock.

There is a layer of Softly Stippled designer series paper from Sale-a-bration on top of the embossed layer and the sentiment layer is die cut using the Deckled Circles dies.

I used the Lifetime of Love stamp set and added some Blooming Pearls for accents.

Supplies:

* Use with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place flat cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, and out comes cardstock with a bold textured design. 3D embossing folders take embossing to the next level, with deeper, more detailed impressions than standard embossing folders—great for card fronts and accents.

Every crafter needs some basic tools, and this is one of them! The Deckled Circle Dies quickly cut basic shapes with a twist—a deckled* edge! What can you do with something so basic? For starters, you can cut several sizes in different colors and layer them to create a big colorful circle. Cut different sizes and scatter them on your card for a fun background. Cut in rainbow colors, then cut the circle in half for two rainbows. The list goes on and on and on. If you have a die-cutting machine, you’ll want these dies! (And if you don’t have a die-cutting machine, this is your reason to get one!)

* Not sure what "deckled" is? Picture the edge of handmade paper. It’s untrimmed and irregular. That’s a deckle edge. The deckle edge on these dies mimics the irregular, uncut edge of handmade paper.

* 14 dies
* Largest die: 5-3/4" (14.6 cm) diameter
* Use with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
