Hey, y’all! Welcome to Tuesday and the first Stamp Ink Paper challenge of 2018! I hope you’ll come and play along with us!
Our Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #131 this week involves a technique! We’re Embossing!.
I ended up doing a couple of embossing techniques – Heat embossing and dry embossing with a Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. And I used the fun new Petal Passion suite of products – including the Petal Passion Memories and More Card Pack – and the Celebrate You Thinlits from the Sale-A-Bration flyer. Take a look-see:
Coincidently – or…is it?!? 🙂 … you can buy all these Petal Passion goodies in one of my special 2018 Occasions Catalog Bundles – and, if you do, you’ll be able to get the Celebrate You Thinlits as your SAB goody! Add a little card stock and ink and you’re ready to make this card! 🙂
Just sayin’….
So – I started with one of the larger cards in the Petal Passions Memories and More Card Pack and Fast Fuse’d it to a Basic Black mat for the card front. The two middle panels are also from the Memories and More Card Pack – the bottom black one, I embossed in one of the Petal Pair TIEFs (you get two in the set) and then I adhered it on an angle to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using the Sale-A-Bration Celebrate You Thinlits (available with a $100 purchase starting 3 Jan – that’s tomorrow!), I cut one sentiment from Silver Foil and the second from one of the chalkboard-y papers in the Memories and More Card Pack. Then I adhered them to the Powder Pink card panel and popped that over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On yet another Powder Pink card in the Card Pack, I heat embossed the beautiful flower image from the Petal Palette stamp set in Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then I fussy cut it.
Don’t be scared.
Juuuuuuussssttttt breeeeaaaatttthhhhe….you’ll be done in no time!
I used some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue to adhere my fussy cut flowers to the card front.
For the embellishment, I made a Billie Moan bow with the new Silver Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Then I added two little branch embellishments from the Petal Passion Embellishments – sticking them into the Glue Dot. Finally, over that, I stuck a little bow from the Whisper White 1/4″ Organza Ribbon with another Glue Dot. And that was it for the card front!
On the inside, I stamped the dots image from Petal Palette in Powder Pink ink across the bottom of a Whisper White panel. In the corner, I heat embossed three small flower images in Silver. I colored a few Pearl Basic Jewels with my Dark Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Blend and added one to the center of each flower. Then I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to add a second Petal Palette sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Basic Black mat and into my Powder Pink card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got some more Petal Palette dots in Powder Pink across the front…
…and on the envelope flap, I added some paper from the Petal Passion DSP and colored the flowers with my Light and Dark Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Blends.
Et Voila! In the past, I’d always sort of relegated the Memories and More Card Packs to “scrapbooking” – but no more! They’re filled with die cuts and printed acetates and gorgeous patterned cards that can really add a lot to all your card making. Which is why I added it to my Petal Passion Special Bundle! There’s method to my madness, y’all!! This is such a beautiful suite of products – and the possibilities are….huge! Hope you like!

Monday – the very first day of 2018 – was well-digger-lunch-bucket cold here in GA.
Not as cold as it is in Iowa. Or…Michigan. Or…New York. But – check my Zip Code – I don’t live there! 😉
The result of it being well-digger-lunch-bucket cold is that I tend to spend the day inside. I “suit up” – hoody/covers/insulated hoody/ear warmer/watch cap/ear-warmer-as-balaclava/gloves/mittens-over-gloves – to go out and feed. That happens twice per feeding, so four times a day.
The rest of the day – I pretty much want to be in the house.
Not so the Man.
HE apparently likes 20. Degrees!
Also – he wants ME to come out into the deep-freeze and play.
I don’t. So…he’s bored bored bored.
Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Hug, Mom. I need to tell you something, Mom!!! MOM!!
Let’s do do do do DO something, Mom!!
Maybe we could go…outside?? It’s that way!
Let’s stop making cards and…go…out…side!!
Poor little ‘bused dog. 😉

We finally had to turn the heat on here. The wind is ferocious. Feel sorry for the peeps who are vacationing in southwest Florida, or anywhere FL for that matter! Cute shots of the Man. Pretty card…and I am now convinced I need these sets. You are amazingly crafty at swaying my wants/needs 🙂
Just call me your Friendly-not-so-Neighborhood-Enabler! Thanks much, Karen! Stay warm! 🙂
That’s beautiful Mary! Love the embossed flowers tucked under the bows, perfect colors too! And I don’t know why you don’t put all of your winter gear on and go play with Finn…seems like a perfectly reasonable request! Thankfully Ginny does not seem so impressed with the cold. She pretty much runs out and does what she needs to do and then races back in. 🙂
Oh, he’s nothing if not perfectly reasonable, that’s for sure! Thanks so much, Amy! 🙂
It’s -23 again this morning in IOWA—2 days in a row. wind chill yesterday was -41, not sure of wind chill today.
Our Aussie wouldn’t even go outside until absolutely “necessary”. Love your cad. That amazing die
is a must have! Your Finn and our Aussie are so much alike—
No. No no no. -23 is NOT okay. And -41. Simply won’t do at all. Y’all can have it, Kate!! I’d like to think my Aussie-man wouldn’t be so interested in staying out in those kinds of temps, either. Or I’d need to start doubting his sanity! Aussies are a hoot, aren’t they!? Thanks much, Kate – and good luck in the draw! 🙂
I’d say you more than met this challenge. Lovely card.
Yes, he really looks abused. ‘Cause he’s momentarily not amused. So sad. 😢
Yes – a moment of boredom probably seems like 7 moments to him… 🙂 Thanks so much, Mom! 🙂
I’m not familiar with the term “well-digger-lunch-bucket cold” but we have a well and our water out of the spigot inside is soooo cold so I understand the sentiment and visual of your dressing to go outside! Poor Finn! I love the card. Those colors are pretty and that silver embossing and layering is gorgeous. TFS sharing cuts–I want to CASE this, even if I’d have to fussy cut it!
Well (no pun intended) a well digger’s lunch bucket would be pretty cold at the bottom of a well, I suppose! Suffice it to say….brrrrrrrrrr! Glad you liked the card – and have fun CASEing it!! You’ll do just fine with the fussy cutting, I know, Susan! Good luck in the draw! 🙂
