How to Corner Emboss on Cards
06/21/2019
I found this clever embossing trick by Diana Langman. I have never seen this before.
1. Emboss the Purple Posy card stock with Subtle 3D Embossing Folder #151775.
2. Emboss the same card stock with Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder #151823 by inserting one corner into the machine. STOP just before the outside edges of the embossing folder hit the machine. Back the embossing folder out of the machine. Be careful not to damage the embossing folder by continuing to emboss too far.
This is the absolutely gorgeous Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper #149100. It's very Monet-like and impressionistic!
Try it!!

How to Silhouette a Stamped Image
06/14/2019
I LOVE this card!! Free as a Bird Stamp Set #149468 is an OPEN IMAGE design. Simply take a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker #100082 and color the images black to create a silhouette! It's SOOO easy and totally changes the appearance! The background is Shimmery White card stock #101910 which has a nice finish for creating sunsets! Using markers, scribble sunset colors onto Shimmery card stock by starting off one side and ending off the other. Don't worry about being perfect, because the image goes on top. Next, stamp your image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Fill in all open designs with the black marker. Sunset marker colors: Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape. You get LOTS OF IMPACT!! TRY IT!
I used two sunset colors for the card base: Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody to POP the black!
Carry the same colors inside for the sentiment! TRY IT, you will love it, too!!
SPECIAL OFFER: When you purchase Free as a Bird Bundle #151123 p.91 OR Bird Ballad Suite #152190 p. 91 from me, get an ADORABLE Bird House pattern! See header
How to Make an Instant Card
06/12/2019
We all need quick cards! Let designer paper be your focal point. Cut a design paper 6" by 1-1/4" or 1-1/2". Attach it diagonally to your card front. Look closely. I added two score lines about 1/8" apart and parallel to the sides of the strip. This adds a bit of interest and texture.
This lovely paper is Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper #149592. Be sure to cover your envelope flap for increased impact!
See the score lines? Try this!
Good Morning Magnolia Whitewashed
06/10/2019
Try the WHITEWASH Technique with this lovely new Good Morning Magnolia Bundle #151087!
Heat emboss the flower image onto Crumb Cake card stock. I used Gold Embossing Powder.
Tap your open White Craft Ink Pad #147277 onto a clean acrylic block or other nonporous surface. Using an Aqua Painter #103954 filled with plain water, collect the ink and paint onto the flower petals. This gives a lovely milky look. SOFT!
This WHITEWASHED image really pops on a Basic Black card stock base! TRY IT!

The Stitched Rectangles Dies #148551 make a perfect raised frame with interesting subtle detail! Try this!
