Abstract Impressions - Happy News

Earlier this week I shared a card where I added ink to the Country Floral Embossing Folder prior to running the embossing folder and card stock through the Big Shot. I'm using that same technique for today's card, but the embossing folder is the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I added Balmy Blue to the embossing folder before adding card stock and running it through the Big Shot. The effect is beautiful!

The sentiment is from Abstract Impressions and the background on the sentiment label is from Artisan Textures. I punched out the sentiment using the Story Label Punch.

Finally, I used the technique tip I shared yesterday on my Facebook page to create the Balmy Blue ribbon, using the Balmy Blue Light Stampin' Blends Marker.

This card goes together quickly. The product list to create it is shown below.

Perennial Birthday

It has been a busy time in my stampin' studio! Earlier this week I dropped off a fresh supply of cards at the shop in town that sells them (you'll see many of the Mother's Day selections next week). Now I'm working on projects for vendor and craft shows coming up 2 of the next 3 weekends! Oh, and I'm starting to get in some of the new products from the upcoming Annual Catalog! Just wait till you see some of these beautiful products!!!

But first, it's time for a card from my very talented sister! I really love this card, especially the Designer Series Paper. And she made the card in the diagonal gate fold. So, so cute!

Starting with this card, I'm going to start pointing out which items are retiring and if they are still available.
