Happy 21st Birthday

Today is Imogen's 21st - I can't believe she is 21!  It doesn't seem long since she was a babe in arms ...

The background paper I've used is from a Christmas special last year but it has such a lovely velvety feel that it brings a touch of luxury to the card.  As you can see, I've used the Top Note die and also the square lattice embossing folder to give some texture and also embed the "21".

Hope you have a lovely day Imogen

Thanks!

This beautiful card is actually very simple when you use one of the embossing folders from the new Mini Catalogue.  I've used the Vintage Wallpaper and lightly sanded it before mounting onto card stock.

I've also used one of the Four Frames stamps and the matching Decorative Label Punch.   The sentiment is from the So Happy For You stamp set.  The only other addition is two rhinestones just to finish it off.

SU! supplies:
Embossing Folder: Vintage Wallpaper
Stamp set: Four Frames, So Happy For You
Ink: Poppy Parade
Punch: Decorative Label

Newsprint Card

I've had this paper for a while and not done anything with it so today I decided to have a go and see what happened!  This is the result - I hope you like it.

I put the Newsprint DSP through the Cuttlebug using an embossing folder and then used the brayer to cover it with Pear Pizzazz ink.  This is something I haven't tried before but it seemed to work - you can see the outline from the embossing through the print of the paper.  I also inked the edges of the paper in Poppy Parade - both on the DSP and the punched scalloped oval for the sentiment.

The flower on the tag is made from the same Newsprint DSP - using both sides of the paper for maximum effect.  The paper was cut out with a scallop circle punch, spritzed, scrunched and then secured with a brad to hold the 3 layers together.
