FAUX DRY EMBOSSING

"Baroque Motifs" is such an elegant stamp set to work with--and ever so easy! On River Rock card stock, I stamped the swirly image with Old Olive ink, cleaned the stamp, and then stamped again with Whisper White Craft ink. The trick to faux dry embossing is to very slightly move the stamp over a bit when you overstamp with the white ink. Other SU products used to create this card are Elegant Eggplant card stock and ink, Boho Blossoms punch, slit punch, "Warm Words" stamp set, Antique Brass HodgePodge Hardware, large and small Oval punches, and an Ice Square Rhinestone brad. The layout for this card was totally CASE'd from another demonstrator with a couple of minor changes from me.

MORE "BOHO BACKGROUNDS"

This is a rather large card . . . 5.5" x 5.5" and, as you can see, I used the medallion image from "Boho Backgrounds" and, again, layered it by using a couple of punches. Aren't you LOVING this set????? Two other images from Boho Backgrounds were used on this card . . . the dotted background (they're actually tiny flowers, not dots) on the bottom of the Bashful Blue card stock and the floral background on the Wild Wasabi "carousel." Speaking of carousel, the semi-circle on the left side of this card is from a product that will be available in the "Occasions" mini catalog next month . . . "Carousel Notes." SU products used to create this card include Scallop Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, "Smarty Pants" stamp set, Bashful Blue Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/8" Circle Punch, Celery Glitter, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Bashful Blue card stock, and Carousel Notes (Wild Wasabi).

"BOHO BACKGROUNDS" NAME TAG

Go ahead and put "Boho Backgrounds" on your wish list. Better yet, move it to the TOP of the list. This is an awesome stamp set, and NO ONE should be without it! I'm going to a Demonstrator meeting and needed a name tag, and this is what I came up with. SU products used to make this tag include several punches . . . Scallop, 1-1/4" circle, Boho Blossoms, 1/2" circle, Corner Rounder, and 1/4" circle. Other products used include Rough Edges Alphabet, Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla card stock, Chocolate Chip and VersaMark ink, Vanilla embossing powder, and Kraft Taffeta ribbon.

6x6 "LOVE YOU" PAGE

When I was making the cuts for the last "love you" project, this was actually the first one that I made. It was too large to use on my card, so I decided to use it on a 6x6 scrapbook page! I still need to find the perfect picture for it (and I have one in mind), but I need to find it. SU products used to create this page are Close to Cocoa, Purely Pomegranate, and Whisper White card stock, Stampin' Dimensionals, Berry Bliss designer paper, Boho Blossoms punch, and the 5-Petal Flower punch.

ETA: The finished product . . . I found the "perfect" photo of Renee and Malena, so I guess I'll have to give this page to Renee. ;-)
