Throwback Thursday Challenge

***Use either "Wild Card" OR "Just Because" cartridges! & PLEASE incorporate some EMBOSSING somewhere on any project of your choice! You can dry or heat emboss, whichever you prefer!  


I used the Wild Card Cart for this challenge.  My cousin just had a baby boy, so I decided to accomplish two things at once.


I used the clothes pin card and cut it at 5".  I cut the phrase at 7", so it would come out a little better.  I embossed the sentiment on the inside of the card and on the envelope design.  It did not come out as great as I had envisioned in my mind...but it will work.  Plus I need to mail out the gift tomorrow, so I don't really have time to do another card.  Such as life, that things don't always go as planned!


Anyway, be sure to check out Emma's blog this week.  She is having sneak peeks of her new stamp set that is going to be released on Friday.  There are many opportunities to win so make sure you check out her blog and her DTs' blogs to optimize your chances.


Good Luck and Happy Crafting!!

Bookmark

Hey Everyone,

This is just a quick post to share a bookmark I made for my co-worker's daughter.  She just had surgery on her foot and I wanted to give her a little gift.  She loves to read, so I bought her a couple books and made her a bookmark in her favorite color purple!

I finally experimented with my Cri-Kit pens (that I have had for months and months!).  Her name is Ariel, so I used my Disney Dreams Come True to write her name on the bookmark.  I used TBM for the tag.  I used my gypsy to size it just right, with the name on the inside.

On the back side of the bookmark, I used one of my new stamps from Emma's (My Creative Time) last stamp release (Inspiring Words).  I love this inspirational/motivating stamps from this past release.  I also used one of Tim Holtz's Visual Artistry (Life's Possibilities) stamp set.  I used Dusty Concord Distressed Ink and Holographic Embossing Powder for the front and black embossing powder for the words on the back...

I hope she likes it....

Thanks for stopping by!
