Inspire Create Share December Blog Hop Thank You

Welcome to the Inspire Create Share December Blog Hop with the theme of Thank You cards. Our Design Team Members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own beautiful cards to send to family and friends.

Thank You cards are one of the most popular cards and often we need one at a moment's notice to let someone know how much we appreciate them. For my card design today, I wanted to share how you can create multiple cards with the same layout, using pretty designer series paper. I chose to use the beautiful Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper as it has so many wonderful patterns that work well for both masculine and feminine card designs. I used the Painted Labels Dies to create the sentiment label and the detailed border and the sentiment is from the Color & Contour stamp set. A little Gold embossing and embellishments help step up this clean and simple card design and make it extra special. From one sheet of 12"x12" designer series paper, you can get 6 card fronts measuring 5 1/4" x 4. With 12 sheets of this pretty paper in the pack, you can create 72 beautiful cards using this layout to create a wonderful stash of cards to have on hand when you need them.

The Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper is the perfect way to step your card design up to the next level and when you combine it with Gold heat embossing and Gold Foil detail, you have an amazing card with minimal supplies. I used the Fine Art Ribbon and Garden Gems to embellish this card for a touch of bling that helps give the design an elegant look.

Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop Reading Is Fonts-amental

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop as we explore the theme, "Reading is Fonts-amental". We are being challenged to show how fonts can make a difference to a project and also to incorporate mixed media as a way to texture and character.

For my card design today, I chose to use the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to create a collage style background with Fall colors. I also embossed the background with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder which has text as part of the design. I love the way it adds texture to the background. I highlighted some of the areas by heat embossing Gold embossing Powder to some of the raised areas, including the embossed words. The gold adds a vintage feeling to the design. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set onto the Early Espresso label punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch.

This card design was so much fun to create and I love being able to combine stamping with embossing to add texture and dimension to the design. The Very Vanilla cardstock layer was stamped with a variety of images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to create a wonderful collage. The Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Fold adds a vintage feel to the card and I used a Sponge Dauber to gently sponge Versamark ink onto some of the raised embossing and then heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. To help bring out the text of the embossing, I used a Sponge Dauber with Sahara Sand Classic ink to burnish over the raised areas to make the words pop out. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Color & Contour stamp set with Gold Embossing powder onto an Early Espresso label punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch and I added it over a piece of the Fine Art Ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals attached to the card front. I added two large Gilded Gems to finish off the design and add a touch of bling.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore adding character to your projects by adding texture and fonts with different mediums. There are so many wonderful options to explore.
