Merry Monday #271

When they give you a choice of dry embossing or heat embossing I say why not do both.  Here's my card for Merry Monday.

I have to say right off that this card looks much better IRL.  The pearly embossing on the SSS sentiment and the silver embossing around the edges shows up much better even with photo editing.  The back panel is embossed with Pine Needles. 

I've already started off the new year with two Christmas cards to add to those left over from last year. If I keep this up I will definitely have what I need before Thanksgiving, especially since I may pare my list down.  How about you?  Joining this challenge is a great way to start.

Thanks for dropping by today.  I love it when you do.

The Heart Desires #15 and Where Creativity Meets C9 #12

One card, two challenges.  I love when that happens and it wouldn't have if Where Creativity Meet C9 wasn't having an Anything Goes challenge so I could send them the card I made for The Heart Desires. Their lovely mood board is below. Concord and 9th are celebrating their 2nd birthday so this card sends best wishes to them.

The cake and banner from Concord and 9th are colored with Zigs. The background is a stamp from Hero Arts embossed with WOW pearl embossing powder.  Here's a different angle so you can see the shine.

Thanks for dropping by.

CASology #258

I have a quick post and even quicker card for CASology this week.

The MFT diamond border was stamped on Soft Stone with Wet Cement.  It lacked something so I added pearl embossing powder.  This is a little better view of the shine.

A sentiment from HA and it's a great masculine card for my stash.

Thanks for dropping by.
