New Challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters

Hello Everyone!

There's a new challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafter's and I hope you'll come join in the fun! We are also introducing two NEW STEP SISTERS!!

• Crafting Cathy
• Rachel Taylor

Please come check out the inspirational projects created by these ladies as well as my 'sistahs'.

Today's challenge is:
EMBOSSING

How easy is that ...

Even though I have used this technique many times, I guess I never knew it had a name until I saw it showcased by GinaK over on Stamp TV and she called it  'Letterpress with a Cuttlebug Folder technique'.  Very easy ... you can get 2 different results with this technique and makes for a wonderful background.

This is the first card I made using this technique and have used Memento 'Cantaloupe' ink and a ProvoCraft Cuttlebug embossing folder.  

The floral stamp is by Great Impressions 'G304' and the front sentiment is JustRite 'Large Fancy Sentiments' CR-03815.  The inside uses the same floral stamp and the sentiment there is by The Stamp Pad Co. I used the same Memento Cantaloupe ink on the floral stamp ... inside & out.

 

This second card utilizes the same technique but with a different Cuttlebug embossing folder and Tim Holtz 'Faded Jeans' distress ink.  I have used the opposite side of the embossing folder for this card.  My sentiment is another wonderful sympathy stamp by Great Impressions 'E566' and since I didn't have any card stock that matched this ink color for my sentiment matting, I created my own by simply swiping the ink pad across a white piece of cardstock.  I used the same ink for my sentiment and tied a small piece of navy organza ribbon at the bottom before attaching to my card front.

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope you'll stop back again real soon!

Remember, you will have until November 24th to join in our challenge.

Hope to see you there!

As always ...
