Cuttlebug embossing on patterned paper...


The challenge at http://cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com/ is to use patterned paper in cuttlebug embossing folders.

My patterned paper is a black and white snowflake patterned paper from DCWV. I picked out 2 different snowflakes in the design and used a small cuttlebug folder I have that has a blanket stitch pattern on it. I thought the blanket stitch pattern would make a great frame for the snowflakes.
Materials used:
  • white base card
  • silver mirri card for matting and layering
  • white card
  • DCWV snowflake paper and Christmas words used in background
  • snowflake embossing folder
  • small stitching embossing folder
  • Woodware clear sentiment stamps

Too late...


Too late for the sketch challenge at http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/ but not to worry I enjoyed making the card anyway!! Must get myself more organised - think it was the shock of all those stamps arriving.


This card is made using one of them. I really wanted to use this image as it something so different to the things I already have.
Materials used:
  • Hampton Arts stamp from grab bag
  • DCWV papers
  • white base card
  • silver mirri card
  • sentiment tag from stash
  • white embossed glitzy ribbon
