Mod Squad Doily challenge card

     I knew what stamps I would use right away when I saw this challenge over at Mod Squad challenge blog.  I love this stamp set by JustRite called Lace Medallion Labels and the Lace background stamp the goes well with it.
     I stamped the background stamp and the medallion on Kraft paper and embossed it with white embossing powder. I die cut the medallion with the matching die from Spellbinders. I die cut the smaller size from plain kraft paper. I stamped and embossed the saying from JustRites cupcake wishes stamp set.I die cut it with a circle die from spellbinders and I also die cut the small doily and put it under the circle. To add dimension I used foam tape to put the medallion on the card.
   The lace doily is the star of the show for this card. I hope you enjoyed this fast and fun embossed card. Be sure to pop over to Mod Squad Challenge blog to see the other talented paper crafters cards.

Vintage lace and Kraft

  Burlap and lace are all the rage for wedding decor right now. I do alterations for my real job and I have 28 gowns that I am working on right now. I hear all about the decor of the brides weddings. So fun to hear what they have found on pinterest. Well when I saw the challenge #119 Get Krafty on JustRites blog I had to play with my new stamp set Lace Medallion Labels.
   I samped the lace backgound stamp by JustRite stamps with versa mark ink and then embossed it with white/ivory embossing powder on kraft paper. I cut around the edges and attached it to a Kraft card. I stamped the medallions on kraft paper and also embossed them and cut them out.I used the matching die to cut out a mat for the lace medallion that I fussy cut to get close to the edges. I fussy cut the smaller one also but I left a small border so it would show up more when layered on the card. I attached the layers on the top of the lace card front. This would be a great card for a thinking of you, thank you,or even a Mother's Day card. I exudes warm feelings and simpler  times.
  I plan on making a few of these to have on hand when I need a card to send  to say I am thinking of you.
   Thanks for stopping.

Challenge card #3 Card with a Picture

 
   I have had fun playing with some pictures I have had just waiting to be made into a card. I took these of our crab tree in the back yard and had them make into wallet size with a metallic finish.I found a Authentic Fresh 6x6 paper pack with just the right blue and red to pick up the apples and blue sky . I used several JustRtie stamp sets for this card as well as Spellbinder custom dies for JustRite.Christmas Antique Labels One,Cordinating Die set,Merry and Bright, and Botanical. Medallions and Banners. I stared out with a card I die cut using a Accucut die and then stamped and layered the card using Rhubarb stalk and Gray Flannel momento inks.I also sponged the edge of the dies with the momento ink. For a bit of sparkle I added a few dots of Viva Glitter liner Holo Iridescent.
  I hope you like my card as well as my photo of my back yard crab apples.
I hope you are finding time at this busy time of the year to reflect on the try reason we celibarate Christmas.
