I made this card as one of my lessons in an online class by My Creative Classroom. One of the new techniques I learned for this was called Letterpress, which involved inking a Cuttlebug embossing folder with chalk ink, inserting a die cut still in the die under it and then running it through the machine. So it is both embossed and colored with a subtile layer of chalk ink. You need to do this correctly or you’ll cut your embossing folder. If you have a question about the “sandwich” you use in your die cut machine, please let me know.

- Flower – made with dies from The Cat’s Pajamas “Easy Rosette 017”
- Patterned papers used in flower – 7gypsies “Asmara” and “Bazrah”
- Die-cuts – Spellbinders Shapeabilities “Foliage”
- Scallops embossed with Cuttlebug “Victoria” embossing folder and inked with creamy brown Colorbox Chalk Ink.
- Background stamped with Hero Arts “Flourish Wave”
- Notched banner – die-cut also from The Cat’s Pajamas “Easy Rosette 017” set. Sentiment stamped with Hero Arts “Petite Wishes.”
This card was made with the Card Patterns Sketch 116. Lots of texture and dimension to this card! I used the dies for this card for the first time. The flower is die-cut, and then accordian pleated. The “middles” are part of the set, as is the banner. Very useful! I also used the folliage Spellbinders dies for the first time. I love them and I’ll use them and the others in the set often. Thanks for visiting.

I made this card as part of an online class I’m taking from My Creative Classroom, taught by Catherine Scanlon. The class covers different cards using Spellbinders Nestabilities dies. Unfortunately my timing for the class isn’t the best as I don’t have much free time for creating. It is fun anyway.

These cards were made using the Origami necktie tutorial at Operation Write Home Stars & Stripes blog. There is a shortage of Father’s Day cards going over to the troops, so the challenge is to make at least 5 necktie cards and send them off to the shippers. My son, Trenton, is a master at Origami, so he made all of the ties and I made the shirts and put them together! Teamwork! Here is a closer look at a couple of them:
- Origami paper – Aitoh rice paper
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Brads – star and screw brads by Creative Impressions, Inc., mini-buttons by Making Memories, other brads by American Crafts and Lasting Impressions
Thanks for helping out, Trenton!
