Wrinkle Free

 

I decided to use some leftover paper that I used the wrinkle free distress technique on for our Late Night Stampers challenge of Masculine cards this week.  I combined the paper with the Dude, you're welcome kit and added some scraps I had in my stash along with some linen thread and Naturals ribbon.

 

 

You can find the wrinkle free distress technique here.

 

The sentiment on each card is cut out with the labels collection framelits and stamped with Early Espresso ink.

 

I decided to add some Woodgrain folder embossing on a couple as well.

 

I just love it when I get on a roll with scraps and leftover altered papers, it is amazing how many card can pile up beside you sometimes!

 

Come on over and play along!  You can find the rest of the design team samples here.

 

 

 



Nothing is Worth More

 

I am teaching a class next weekend at the PRBC Stamping and Scrapbooking retreat and this is one of the samples I have for them. 

 

 

For this one, I used the Autumn Accents die and embossed the leaves with the Woodgrain and Perfect Polka Dots folders.  There is a little piece of Naturals Composition specialty paper behind the picture and the sentiment is from Summer Afternoon.

 

The buttons and ribbon are from the clearance rack and my card stock colors are Island Indigo, More Mustard, Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.

Masculine Birthday

This is a fairly simple masculine birthday card using the Woodgrain folder and an image from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set.

 

 

I used Whisper White, Soft Suede and Early Espresso card stock and Early Espresso classic ink.  The ribbon is Soft Suede taffeta and my sentiment comes from the  retired Occasional Quotes stamp set.

Thinking of you

Today I have two cards to share with you, both very quick and simple, using two different styles of designer series paper.

 

 

For the first one, I used two patterns from the International bazaar dsp, and added some Marina Mist, Whisper White and Early Espresso.

 

On the second one, I chose Comfort Cafe designer series paper and added some Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse, Soft Suede and Summer Starfruit.

 

The sentiment in each is from Sassy Salutations.

And finally the card for today :)

 

 

Another using the Perfectly Preserved set and Harvest Orchard designer series paper.  I added a label from the Labels collection framelits, some Early Espresso core'dinations card stock that I embossed with the Woodgrain folder and some Victoria Crochet trim ribbon.



Little Bit of Good

 

I tried out the Woodgrain folder on Whisper White for this card and I like the way it turned out.  There is a white on white layer for the base and then I added some Polka Dot Parade dsp and Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. 

 

 

The Argyle folder was used on on the Rich Razzleberry after I used the Large Scallop edgelit on the card stock.

 

I used the Fancy Fan folder on the Apothecary accent label in Tempting Turquoise and added some Turquoise glitter brads as well.

Christmas in the Heart

This week at Late Night Stampers, we have a challenge called Too Cool to Use.  I haven't tried out the Festival of Prints designer series paper stack yet so today that is my "tool cool to use" item.

This is a simple card that uses two patterns from that stack along with the Heart of Christmas single stamp and the Woodgrain Folder and the Oval Accent Clear Bigz Die.

I added a little Victoria crochet trim and an antique brad for an accent.  The card stock colors are Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler.
