SU This Little Piggy

June 30, 2017

Just a quick and simple little card today.

I wanted to play with the new embossing paste, and this was my first attempt!

I was inspired by Nance’s sketch at The Paper Players Sketch # 350.

 

I added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the paste after I put in on the card- maybe a little too much glitter….

it looks like it is our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, huh?

The Embossing Paste is so easy to use! Here is a SU video showcasing how to add  Embossing Paste to your cards:

SU Oh So Eclectic for Creating Pretty Cards Challenge #72

June 26, 2017

Hey there! I finally got around to playing with Monika’s sketch at

Creating Pretty Cards Challenge #72 at Craft Project Central.

I have to say it has a lot of elements but in the end, it all came together:)

 

I used the SU Oh So Eclectic Bundle to create the focal point and used up some scraps of Color Theory DSP.

I loved how the solid flower stamp goes beyond the lined image stamp of the flower –

no white outline when die cut. See what I mean? Nice touch, I think.

I only used a simple stamp and die on this card but there are some other REALLY cool things in the bundle!!!

Take a few minutes hear what Shannon West from the SU office has to say about the Oh So Eclectic Bundle:
