Pearly Red Heart

Create your own background by dry embossing a panel of aluminum foil. It is so easy and looks amazing! What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Blessed by God

Paper:

   Real Red A-2, 3" Sq.

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Aluminum Foil 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 (must cover the entire Basic White panel)

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Embossing Folder

   Hearts a Flutter Dies

First, I covered a Basic White panel with aluminum foil. You can secure it on the back with tape if you want. I just folded mine over and it held just fine.

I then placed it inside an embossing folder and ran it through the embossing machine. I chose a folder that had birds and vines on it. You can choose any design you like for your background.

I then adhered it to the Real Red card front.

Next, I stamped and die cut a heart, using the Hearts a Flutter Dies. I attached it with adhesive, but you may choose to add dimensionals or leave it flat.

Lastly, I added some pearls and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Manly Baptism

Check out this oval on its side. I like it. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Blessed by God

Paper:

   Soft Succulent A-2, 3 x 2-1/4 Oval

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Texture Chic DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Gold Paper Scrap

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Cross of Hope Framelits

   Framed Florets Dies

   Black Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I grabbed a Soft Succulent oval that I had in my stash of left-overs. It was left-over from a Framed Florets Die that I had cut for another card. This is the center of the frame. 

I then stamped the sentiment on the left side of the oval, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I added a gold cross on the right of the sentiment. The cross was die cut, using the Cross of Hope Framelits. When I have small pieces of Metallic paper, I die cut or punch basic images like crosses, hearts, stars, and flowers. I keep them to use when I need a small embellishment. The cross was perfect in this case.

FYI: When the metallic piece is too small, I punch small circles to use in shaker cards. I know, I don't like to throw anything away...but I do find use for all my scraps!

Next, I adhered the DSP panel onto the Basic Black matte, and then onto the Soft Succulent card base.

I attached the oval, using dimensionals, in the center of the card.

Lastly, I added three Black Rhinestone Jewels and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
