I created a card using kraft cardstock featuring Denami's Elegant Hibiscus stamp. There's three techniques I have been wanting to try that I employed on this card. First, I've always wanted to try making a card that fits in a #10 envelope. Second, I had a plan to try out the sew ribbon products I've had for quite a while. And third, I wanted to try "painting" with embossing powder.
Once the flowers were colored, I fussy cut them out and used foam tape to attach them to the card front. I love how it came out and I think the mix of bling, pearls and brass just sets it off!
Supplies:
- Recollections - kraft cardstock 8 1/2" x 11", bling, burgundy pearl embosssing powder, foam dots
- We R Memory Keepers - Sew Ribbon leaf tool and grosgrain ribbon: Buttercream
- Stampendous - white detail embossing powder
- Memento Tuxedo black ink
- Sentiment from my stash, bought from HSN
- Elizabeth crafts fussy cut scissors, Scotch titanium non-stick scissors
- heat gun, Darice stamp pad, Inkadinkado tray
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use the Sew Ribbon Leaf pattern and buttercream grosgrain ribbon both by We R Memory Keepers. I will be sure to use it again soon.

I love the Kraft and burgundy combo w the white. Beautiful. I never thought about making a card to fit in #10 envelope.... Great idea.... Allows for more space. Perfect for a scene card! Ohhhhh, I am inspired to create for sure! TFS
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I do not like making envelopes. So I figured this is one that is always available! I am so glad I inspired you. If you make this size card, I'd love to see it!

Love, love, love this card from the bling to the ingenious way you threaded the ribbon. Talent abounds! Sharon
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! With the sew ribbon tool it was a snap! There are 6 designs and they come with a ribbon threader.

I love the flower and how you "painted" with embossing powder. I have never heard of that technique nor have I heard of a versamarker. I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Yes, it's the marker that matches Versamark. If you get it and make something, I'd love to see it!

Very nice, looks like a lot of detail.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!

Very elegant but not difficult to do. I also like the different techniques you used. I love the brass. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! The bling had all those aspects in it. I cut it into pieces for my use. I wish I would've gotten more than one of them. Very modern looking.
DeleteLa-Vie
wow!! a lot of bling, too cool, I'd never be able to line the bling up like that. You must have a steady hand!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was one big sticker and I cut it in the places I needed to. It was very easy to apply. I still have one piece left. Wish I would've bought more. I love how it looks a lot more complicated than it is!
DeleteLa-Vie
ummm....wow!!! Just WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! Awesome embossing!

I love the kraft paper! I could see this as a great place card decoration for a country tea. Love it and thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Wow, I never thought of making it smaller for a place card!!! You've got my creative juices flowing... and I'm thirsty for tea too!
