There's nothing better than being able to craft with friends. Now that we are social distancing, the next best thing is playing virtually. Michele and I have shared our craft rooms in the past but today we are each making and posting a card we made with the same parameters - the Memory Box mistletoe die with Speckled Egg and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide inks.
I started with Michele's favorite embossing folder of mine, Fabric Weave by Spellbinders. Well actually I started by clear heat embossing the sentiment from My Craft Spot (oob) and inking the panel with Speckled Egg DOX. Then I embossed. For the mistletoe, I inked the paper with Rustic Wilderness DOX and sprayed it with Glimmer Mist. I cut one from the wrong side of the paper so I could have two images to make my mistletoe fuller. For the bow and berries I took my VersaMark pad direct to paper and heat embossed it with White Pearl. I'm just sorry you can't see all the shine.
I can't wait to see what Michele did with the mistletoe die and Oxide inks. Shall we go take a look together? You can find her here at

There it is!! Bobby, I searched for nearly an hour for that embossing folder yesterday - even on Ebay!! So happy to see this gorgeous background again - still looks like drifting snow to me - and frosting to our friend, amy T.! Your frosty berries, and bow - great minds?
Now, about this mistletoe - I adore it, and was so happy to use it again, and spend some time virtually crafting with you, my friend!
Thanks so much for 'playing cards' with me!

It's gorgeous Bobby and I love LOVE your background!! The Speckled Egg and Rustic Wilderness are such pretty colors together and that embossing folder is SO cool! And your mistletoe and berries are just lovely against the background!! The sentiment's perfect for this card also! You and Michele play so well together...loved seeing both your takes using the same supplies!! Hugs. :0)
Wowzers! I bet this just glows. The mistletoe looks amazing against the embossed background. Love how these two newer DOX look together.
I am lucky to have that ef too. It always reminded me of wind blown sand. Fabulous card, I popped over from Micheles.
What a beautiful card Bobby! I can see why that fabulous background is coveted lol.
That's a sweet holiday card in the teal-green! The texture of the embossed background is just gorgeous!
This is stunning, Bobby! It would fit in nicely with the current theme at Let's Squash It! if you were minded that way, Jo x
Fabulous card! And what a fun project to be doing this with Michele!
Love these two colors together, Bobby! Great idea to reverse the die for added fullness to this pretty sprig!
That is an awesome background! Your card is pretty fabulous too!
Wow...LOVE that embossing folder. No wonder Michele covets it. Now I do too. LOL! This is just gorgeous and what a fun little game/challenge.
You are a great card player! Sweet holiday card! And yep that is a wonderful EF!
Fun! And so happy for you and Michele, and your card is fabulous!
Gorgeous card, it is so interesting how different cards can be even when the same products and same layout is used, brilliant xx
I'm so happy to see you two playing like this! I love your intense colours Bobby and the full mistletoe! Vicky x
