Embossing Paste + Glitter =

A beautiful sparkly design...but it also equals one big mess!!!!! Haha! While the embossing paste was still wet I sprinkled on some glitter, confirming that I still hate working with glitter!!! Ok, enough smack talking glitter!! This card was so fun and easy to make. The diagonal cut on the front adds such interest. I was having so much trouble getting a good picture, this was the best of the bunch. Here are the details about this card:

Gorgeous Grape card base - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4. Diagonal cut from approximately 1" along top of card to approximately 1 1/2" along side of card.

I had made some Halloween swap cards and used the Toil & Trouble designer series paper. I had 2 thin strips of paper leftover that I cut up for these cards. Super simple and I ended up with 3 birthday cards -- which I needed for the last 3 birthdays of September that I needed to send to!! Here is one using Calypso Coral.

Washi Tape Challenge

The Facebook group of demos I belong to has weekly creative challenges and this one was to use washi tape. I had recently purchased the Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape and figured it was time to break open the wrapper!!! I covered a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the tape then cut it out with the Layering Circles Framelits. The deer, which I love, was die cut out of gold foil paper. This die is part of the Dashing Deer Bundle (buy the stamp set and framelits together as a bundle and save 10%). I wish I had covered an entire sheet of Whisper White so I could make more of these cards!!! Oh, and one quick tip, be sure to do your stamping before using the embossing folder...I found out the hard way when I got ahead of myself on that!!!

Dimensions:
Gray Granite card base - 11 x 4 1/4, scored and folded at 5 1/2
Mossy Meadow layer - 5 1/4 x 4
Gold Foil layer - 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
Whisper White layer - 5 x 3 3/4
