Simple flap challenge

For this challenge from Sharon at No Time to Stamp I wanted the aged look of an old cupboard door. I’m not sure that many cupboard doors start out Apricot coloured but I like the effect of the distressed embossing. This is my second finished cuttlebug project and I’m having fun with it.

To create the flap I embossed two flower images and then rubbed the choc chip and the pumpkin pie stamp pads directly over the embossing before sponging on some Encore gold ink. I sponged all the other layers with a choc chip and/or pumpkin pie ink. Under the flap I created an unsponged area by sponging over a rectangle of cardstock.

Supplies:

Stamps: One of a Kind
Inks: Chocolate chip, Pumpkin pie, Encore Gold
Cardstock: Chocolate chip, Pumpkin pie, Apricot Appeal, Confetti cream
Also: Gold eyelets, Fancy Corners embossing folder

First cuttlebug card

This is the first of many cards, I’m sure, that will be made with the help of my new Cuttlebug. My family took note of my many hints and gave it to me for my birthday. The effect of embossing is very classy. This card just shows a simple full background embossing folder but there are many techniques I will be trying.

I sponged around the edges of the card front with Mellow moss ink before attaching the embossed piece on raised tape. The berries are from a current SU hostess set Infinite Goodness and the sentiment from the Cherished Memories rub-ons.

Supplies:

Stamps: Infinite Goodness
Inks: Mellow Moss
Cardstock: Mellow Moss, Whisper White
Also: Two sided foam tape, D’vine Swirls embossing folder
