Blended Bloom With Chalk Lines

I love everything about this card – the Blended Bloom flower colored with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilities and the great backdrop created with one of the images from the Chalk Lines photopolymer stamp.  After I colored the flower I cut around it and popped it with Stampin’ Dimensionals – love it. However, I don’t know about you, but although I like the look of images cut out …

Lovely As A Tree Sympathy

Here’s another sympathy card.  Unfortunatley, I needed to make many of these this summer.  I used the Lovely as A Tree stamp as the focal point.  Once again, I used my good old companion, the Big Shot.  I embossed the Very Vanilla card stock with the woodgrain embossing folder and used my Circles Collection Framelits to mount my tree. Perfect masculine card! Before I embossed …

Bloom With Hope Bubble Wrap

Today’s card incorporates the bubble wrap technique with a twist.  I’ve done the bubble wrap technique before where you ink up the bubble wrap you get in your packages with any color you like and stamp onto the card stock–the result looks like this.  Today’s next step, which I got the idea from Dawn Griffith, takes it to another level.  It uses the emboss resist technique …
