Bliss

I used a lot of dimensionals on this card. There are two behind the Decorative Label, one behind the butterfly, and four behind the Crumb Cake card stock. After stamping, I cut out the butterfly. I cut off the antenna. I placed three small Rhinestones on the body.

Graduation Owl

For this card I let my customers select the color of card stock they embossed. For the sample I used Real Red. I used the Curly Label Punch to create the bottom of the graduation hat. Then I used the paper trimmer to cut a diamond shape for the top. The nose it the heart from the Two-Step Owl Punch. There are dimensionals behind the owl. I also used dimensionals behind the black square.

Brayering with Dry Embossing

For this technique I used a brayer to apply the Blushing Bride ink to the flat side of the embossing folder. Next I carefully placed the Whisper White card stock onto the folder. Then I closed the folder and ran it through the Big Shot. The flowers turn out white and the background is Blushing Bride. Finally I used the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker to color the center of the flowers. To clean the folder, simply run it under water and let dry.
