The Flower Challenge Reminder: Add Embossing

It's reminder time at The Flower Challenge, and our challenge for the 

month of June is embossing, heat or dry.

I used both on my card, using several dies that embossed the image, andwet embossed the sentiment.

A special card for a very special gal! My D-I-L is truly a remarkable teacher. 

She teaches in a high a high school and is a professor at our local university.

I used some of new Jubilee stamps and dies from The Greetery. The background 

die from Honeybee.

Play along through the 25th!

The Card Concept: Travel Abroad or Stay At Home

 

Hi Folks! It's time for a new post at the Card Concept, and we have 2 choices to 

inspire you, Travel Abroad or Stay at Home.You can choose.

 

I zoned in on the globe and knew what stamp set I was going to use.

It's an oldie from Concord & 9th called Globe Greetings.

I have a recipient for this card. My DIL is a geography teacher, and she really is,

The World's Best Teacher.

The stack of books is from PTI: Glorious Globes Basics, and the gorgeous leaf is

The Greetery's Jumbo Curiosity Buckeye Leaf. 

The tiny blossoms are also from the Greetery: Botanicuts: Apple.

Sorry I don't know what stencil I used for the background. If you know,

I'd love to know the name. I found the panel in my stash, and loved the design with the 

globe. Inked in gray,  it gave off vintage vibes.

Play along for 2 weeks, and be sure to mention what style you used, and don't

forget to add our inspiration photo to your post. 

I call this card, Vintage Layered. (a term I made up, perfectly acceptable, btw!)

Thank You Teacher

Good Thursday morning!

I finally found a few moments to myself to make a card for this week's

MIM with Melissa: Ink Blending on Colored Cardstock.

I've been on grandma duty for the week. SIL has been promoted and family will soon be

moving to So Cal. It's been a busy week!

3 children, 3 lunches, to and from different schools, practice, gymnastics,

 and one with a cold.

Was it this busy raising my own? How quickly it's all behind. 

But... new memories to make, love to give, and receive... and for some reason

I seem to have endless patience, (thank God!). Anyway, 

Back to the card...

Melissa's video was to use colored cardstock, emboss our image and ink blend over

the versamarked image.

While going through my PTI stamps and dies, I came across Betsy's sweet apple 

from the What the Doodle series. Using pretty much Melissa's card layout, the rest was easy.

The card will go to one of the grandkids' teachers. School will be ending soon.

Not sure where the year has gone!

Hope I didn't bore you too much. It's so nice to be in the craft room, even for a 

short while!
