I got some lovely papers for Christmas from my DP. I decided to put them and some stamps I hadn't gotten any ink on yet to work. Besides, I'm cold, and I want to start thinking about Spring!
I made this--
This was made on an A*Muse Studio base. I like the fact that their card stock has a white backing, especially for bases. I DO wish they would come out with a heavier weight version, however, because once you get a layer or two, it is hard to get proper support . A*Muse studio is known for their very simple styling, so they probably don't worry too much about tons of layers......anyway...
The DP is from My Mind's Eye. I think. Pretty sure. Almost positive.
I cut strips, and ran them through the ol' Cuttlebug with a distressed stripes embossing folder. I LOVE the effect it gave to the striped paper. Each panel was backed with some SU basic gray cs, and I stamped the sentiment (SU) with Memento London Fog. The flowers are chipboard pieces from from Me & My Big Ideas.
I like the way the panels overhang the edges. I will use this for a birthday card, most likely.
Since I had everything out, I decided to make another one.
I made this-
Same base, ink, and stamp. I added buttons from my randon collection, and a flower and ribbon from AC Moore's dollar bin. The top of the base is run through the Cuttlebug with a Sizzix embossing folder that looks like gauze or netting.
Strangely enough, that ribbon is straight. The embossing folder sort of warped the base a bit for the photo.. This is what I mean about wishing A*Muse made a thicker CS. Maybe one day!
Thanks for stopping by!
All Best-
Richard
