Inset Embossing

This is another fun card that I saw on Pinterest and wanted to do with my technique classes for the inset embossing technique. What a fun and easy technique to do! Punch pieces from any shape punch and adhere them to your piece of background for your card, then place it in an embossing folder and sent it through the Big Shot. How easy is that?? The Square Lattice folder looks particularly good. The force of the machine embeds the punched pieces into the background so they look like they are set into the card stock itself. I love the bright colors on this card, and of course, that punched owl is so fun! I made one of these to send to a friend back home for her birthday, so hopefully, she's gotten it by now and this won't spoil the fun.

Ingredients: Stamp Set: Smarty Pants
Paper: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Yellow,and scraps to punch the owl and branch.
Ink: Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Brights Buttons, Owl Punch, Bird Punch,
1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Decorative Label Punch,Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Daffodil Seam Binding (available in the Summer Smooches catalog  pre-view)

I love his eyes and the sayings in the Smarty Pants stamp set. It's on the retired list, so you better get it now if you want it! Going, going...GONE!


Inside, I added more of the circles on a piece of white card stock. What a fun card! I can't wait to share it with the technique classes next week! Are you still looking for a class to fit into? We have 2 scrapbooking groups and 2 card making groups going. If you'd like to join us, just contact me and we'll find where you fit in the best. We have a scrapbook group meeting tonight, so come join us! I'm off to finish getting supplies organized. I'll have some fun pages to show you after the classes are done. I love that I get to spend time scrapbooking again!! Don't forget our overnight retreat to scrapbook next weekend. I'm looking forward to getting lots and lots of pages done! Call me for the details.
Happy Stampin'!!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Punchy Scarecrow

Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra
