Vintage Chalkboard Card

Okay, this has to be one of my favorite cards recently. I love the Designer Frames embossing folder set and I decided to turn this one into a "chalkboard". And have you used the brand new Edgelits Dies - they are gorgeous and available now in the Occasions Mini Catalog (see sidebar for a quick peek) What do you think?

A couple of very simple cards today - I seem to go from vintage to simple! I guess it's a woman's right to change her mind...   Enjoy!

First Edition DSP

Yesterday I decided to play with some colors I've not put together  (Pool Party and Basic Grey) 
 before and also do some new embossing. I love working with Basic Grey, both card stock and ink, because it's just a little softer than black - doesn't hit you quite so hard, ya know.

For the embossing, I first cut circles from First Edition DSP, adhered them to Pool Party card stock and then ran them through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice embossing folder.  Creates a brand new paper for you!  The bird is embossed with Clear embossing powder.

Here's a close up.....

Supplies:

P.S. I Love You!

I love, love this stamp set P.S. I Love You.   I have also enjoyed using the First Edtion DSP - I love the newsprinty feel. It's always fun to pull out the Crimper and add a little dimension in the middle of a card. Have you started on your Valentines yet?
