Embossed Spring Tree

Hi everyone,

This card idea is straight from a Jessie Hurley class I took at Making Memories.  We used this stamp in the class, but with a different color combo.  I thought for a St Patrick's day birthday for someone that loves pink, this would be perfect.  The butterflies were punched out of glitter paper and popped up.  The tree and poem stamp is heat embossed with pink, two shades of green, and copper embossing powders.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Your next stamp #34 - colour challenge.
A Gem of a challenge # 164- spring.
Fussy & Fancy Friday #159 - things with wings.
Cute Card Thursday # 416 - Lace or Ribbon
Pile it on #103 - Green & two other colours
Starinmypocket - include embossing

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Embossed birthday

Hi everyone,

We have been enjoying a pretty hot summer here, so it's been a little hard to hang out in my small craft room without air conditioning, but I took a class a few weeks ago which I thought would make a perfect birthday card for some friends and family.  I also wanted to practice the technique.  This is a double embossed card I learned from Jessie Hurley.  The embossing folder of the butterflies is a Darice folder and the dots, I believe, is a Cuttlebug.  I used Memento ink to color the background and butterflies.

I am entering this into the following challenges:
The Friday Mashup! - Challenge #222
Seize the birthday - Anything that flies
Fussy and Fancy Friday - Challenge #146 Birthdays
Simply Create Too - Challenge #92 Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
