Day 5 and last of My Friend cards

This card was very simple but makes an impact. I used Crumb Cake for the card stock and Soft Suede for the ink. The technique is Emboss Resist. I used versamark and clear embossing powder for the main image then sponged over it with Soft Suede. I also sponged around the edges of the card stock. The sentiment is also stamped in Soft Suede. Adding a few of the self adhesive pearls really made it pop!

Emboss Resist card #5

I'm sorry I haven't posted each day like I said I would, but it's spring break here and my kids are my first priority.

But I got up early this morning so I could add another card showing you the emboss resist technique. Here you go:

On this card I embossed the tag, which by the way is from a sneak peek stamp set called Four Frames (wood-#123440 $20.95, clear-#123442 $15.95), that will be in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog, but you can order already along with the Paisley Prints Designer Series paper (#122367 $9.95). The bird is cut out of one of the other frame stamps from this wonderful new set also.

I embossed the image in White embossing powder (#109132 $4.75) and sponged Crumb Cake over it to make it pop. Then I punched it out with the Decorative Label punch (#120907 $16.95). The circles behind the main image are from the 2 1/2" circle punch (#120906 $16.95) and the 3" circle die (#122125 $17.95). I used the Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing folder (#121809 $7.95) on the card front.

The ribbon is the 1/2" Seam Binding in Crumb Cake (#122332 $6.95) and the button is also Crumb Cake and can be found in the Designer buttons Neutrals collection (#119743 $8.95). I tied a piece of Linen Thread (#104199 $4.50) on the button, and viola', it just finished the card off nicely don't you think.

A lot of the product used on this card can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog which will end on April 30 so don't miss out. Get your order in today. Orders can be placed on my website: sheryldreyer.stampinup.net.

Emboss Resist card #4

I love how this one turned out too. I used the Friends 24/7 stamp set for this card. I also used the Newsprint DSP. The colors are Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Elegant Eggplant.

Emboss Resist card #3

For card #3 I used the Upsy Daisy stamp set. I used White embossing powder and sponged Elegant Eggplant around it. This is a very quick and easy card to make.

Emboss resist card #2

As promised, here is card #2. This one I stamped the background first, then I stamped the main image in versamark and heat embossed it with clear powder. I wanted the background stamp to show through the main image. Then I added ink with a sponge over the main image.

The card was nice and simple, but it needed something, so out came the pearls. And the nice thing about those, they are self adhesive!!! Just enough bling to add a pop! Hope you liked this one. come back tomorrow for another!
