This is a file folder card made with the Envelope Punch Board.  I found several videos on YouTube showing how to make these – and they are really fun (and fast!)  I used some Strawberry Slush and the Kaleidoscope Designer Series paper to make the folder.  The best tip that I can offer is that it is easier to adhere the DSP before you punch the top of the card. 

Supplies
Stamp Ssets – Birthday Cake, Perfectly Penned
Cardstock – Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Kaleidoscope DSCP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Markers – Strawberry Slush, Basic Black, Crushed Curry
Etc – 2 1/2 circle punch, Neutral Candy Dots, Hardware Clip Essentials

I think this would be a great card for a teen or young adult – maybe for someone just starting a job. 

And to top it off, it’s snowing again!  Hugs, Fran

I tried the tutorial over at Splitcoast for Dry Emboss Alcohol Resist.  This technique involves dry embossing glossy paper, heat embossing the raised images, airbrushing the design and then removing the color from the raised image.  Lots of firsts-for-me here!  The butterfly is an Elizabeth Craft Design  die that is colored using Silk Microfine glitter.  Me + my cat + glitter = well, use your imagination!  I chose Perfectly Penned to set off this card because I need something large enough to balance it out. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfectly Penned
Cardstock – Basic Black, Whisper White, Glossy
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Copic marker, EDC Butterfly die and silhouette,  assortment of Silk Microfine glitters, Beautifully Baroque embossing folder, airbrush, ECD border stickers

Lots of fun to try – and the added benefit of sparkling all day!  Hugs, Fran

Baked Brown Sugar and Pool Party – very pretty together!  This card showcases the new Mosaic Madness, matching punch and embossing folder.  The sentiment is Perfectly Penned. 

I die cut the Whisper White using the Oval Accent die and embossing it with the Mosaic embossing folder.  Then the images were stamped, punched and placed on the embossing folder spaces.  I added some Pool Party accents with one of the punches from the Itty Bitty punch pack.

card stock – Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink – Baked Brown Sugar (new In Color!), Early Espresso
Etc – Modern Mosaic embossing folder, Mosaic punch, Itty Bitty punch pack, Oval Accent die, 1 3/8 square punch
