It's a Leafy Cross

Hi guys. I'm back to share another card.

This time I used the Darice Cross embossing folder. I love working with this folder! It's beautiful and it doesn't need a bunch of anything to make the card look amazing.



I also used a leaf clear stamp that I've had in my stash for years, but never really found a way to use it (I don't like the stamped image all that much on it's own). So when I saw this idea on Pinterest, I decided to give my leaf stamp a try.

I embossed the white cardstock first, then stamped the green leaves image (masking the cross)....and finally took some black ink and simply went over the embossing...and the words popped out! Simple and lots of fun! :)

Cross with a Flower

Hi guys. I have another favourite card to show off today. :) Like last time, I used the Darice cross embossing folder -- did I mention before what a big fan I am of the folder??? I love it!

Today's card is a lot simpler, but the embossing folder is so striking all on it's own, that you really don't have to do much else to make the cards stand out! Simplicity...and yes striking! Love CAS cards that come together so quickly!


And it's always a plus when I get to use scraps or punches/dies from my stash.


thanks for dropping by my blog. :) Have a great day! :)

Cross with Words

Hi guys. Today  I have a "favourite of the year" card to show off. I created this card for my brother and I'm absolutely thrilled with how it turned out!!! A friend of mine had offered the embossing folder to me before, but I thought the embossing was too big for my cards,so I never tried it. Then I decided I wanted a big cross on my brother's card (it's for his baptism)...and decided to give the embossing folder a try....



the folder itself  is 5.75"x4.25" which is the exact size of my cards...and I really didn't want to make my cards any larger...but I cut out the cross...and it became just-JUST small enough to fit onto my card! WHEW!!!

and now I'm such a big fan. I'm getting one of those for myself -- I love it!

So anyways, enough with the ramblings -- here's the card.


I used dimensional foam behind the cross to lift it a bit...as well as behind the dove image (which is a Stampin Up stamp btw).



So that's my card for the day. Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments. :)
