Congrats!

This is a CASE from Dawn Olchefske. This is another quick and easy card. Just involves some layering using Big Shot dies. The colors are pulled from the Designer Series Paper. Lost Lagoon is one of the retiring colors. I'm going to miss it!

Product Focus: White Embossing Powder

 I saw a similar card that Dawn Griffiths posted and decided to give it a try with stamps that I had. Here's my "Make a Wish" card. You may be wondering where the white embossing powder is used. All over the card! Everything is stamped using VersaMark and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then you color the embossing powder using Blendabilities markers. I used the medium color of Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo and the lightest color of Daffodil Delight. I liked how Dawn used the Dotty Angles stamp set on the background layer. And I also got the idea for adding sequins from her card. I just cut off some of the sequins from the ribbon of Bermuda Bay trim that is in the Occasions catalog.

 Then I made this card. I wasn't sure I would get a good enough impression of the medallion to heat emboss it. But it worked better than I thought. I like the way the "HAPPY" has a neon lights look to it.

I wanted to give the angle stamp in the Dotty Angles a try, too. Here's my card using it. I tried not to overthink the coloring of the angles. I didn't really want a pattern. That's not always easy for me. I can be too logical a thinker sometimes! But it's fun to just turn your mind off sometimes and let your hands do what they may.

A Different Fold

When I had used up all the Flirtatious DSP I still had some of the laser cut doilies left. So I dug in some more of my retired DSP to find some Peach Parfait paper and made these cards. The base is a piece of 4.5X8.25 card stock. You can use the 2-3/4 piece you cut off the 4.5x11 piece to cut out Deco Label #3. You'll need another scarp of card stock to cut out Deco Label #2 for the inside.
The embossing folder I used is retired but there are so many cute ones you won't have trouble finding a substitute and the same goes for the doilies. You could either use your scallop punches or starburst or floral framelits.

Less Fuss

I used the same layout as yesterday's card but fewer layers and elements. The pink side panel is stamped with VersaMark and then sprinkled and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The doily is cut from one of the laser cut doily sheets in the Flirtatious Designer Series Pack and layered over one of the patterns from that pack. That same pattern is used to make the envelope liner. I used the Deco Labels framelits to cut out the image from the You're Lovely set from last year's Sale-A-Bration.
Speaking o Sale-A-Bration... there are so many great sets in the new Occasions catalog that it's no problem to earn some free items from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Or if you have been waiting to get Blendabilites from the Annual Catalog you can use your Sale-A-Bration earnings to get them. It's a great deal!

Slider Gift Card Holder

Here's a fun slider gift card holder. When you open the card the piece holding the gift card slides and pops up. I've used the All is Calm Designer Series Paper again. This is a special silvery one-sided piece of paper in the pack. Very pretty! I used the Envelope Punch Board to make the notches on the front of the card.
