Emboss Resist Shadow Sentiments!

Hello my stampy friends! Hope all is well with you.
It is still SO HOT, that all I did was stay inside and make cards!

I was especially inspired by the

MAKE IT MONDAY #291: EMBOSS RESIST SHADOW SENTIMENTS 

challenge. Here is the card that Ashley Cannon Newell designed for her challenge:
Isn't it adorable?? 
I LOVE this technique, so I just had to try it!

Here is my first card using this technique:

 

A CAS card using the older stamp set
WONDERFUL WORDS: BIRTHDAY-PTI.

I made a second card, too.


I used the 
CELEBRATE ALL THE THINGS-SugarPea Designs.

This technique is so much fun and makes such an impact on your card! I love it! I will definitely be using this on a lot of my cards in the future!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cactus!

Hello my stampy friends! Hope you had a great weekend!
My husband and I went to Raleigh this weekend. It was a double pleasure! I went to the Stamp Scrap Art Tour Show  and  we visited our son and his fiancee!
So much fun!!!!
Another highlight of the trip was visiting with Debbie Marcinkiewicz, the owner and creator of Paper Sweeties stamps! She was at the SSAT show! She is such a doll!

When we got home I finished this fun little card that I had started before we left for Raleigh.



I was inspired by this fun sketch challenge at


I die cut my cacti with white Bristol card stock and then colored them by sponging them with Distress inks!
I just love this funny sentiment! 


I hope you have a GREAT week!!!
