Needed to make a quick birthday card for a friend and this is what I came up with.  I used white card stock and embossed the front but with a twist, I flipped the paper over and liked the background even better.  You can see the texture in the photo much better.

The difference between embossed and debossed is embossing makes the pattern stick out whereas; debossed makes the pattern go into the paper.

I die cut a label and stamped Happy Birthday, added a few pearls and a couple strips of card stock and called it done. For the inside I added a sentiment which lets the recipient know the day is all about them.

It’s that time of year again.  Thanksgiving is in a few weeks and Christmas is just around the corner.

This card is made with a fall theme in mind. I colored all the vegetables with colored pencils and the wagon.  I then used dimensionals to pop up the wagon off the paper.  For the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment on the top I used vinyl for the lettering.

For the inside I used a Fall sentiment and stamped some hay in the corner.

For this card I used paper that looks like wood on the bottom half of the card and embossed only the top half of the paper.  I cut out a scalloped frame in gold and added it behind the main design to give the card a little shine. I stamped the pumpkins and fussy cut them out.  For the sentiment I used gold embossing powder for the words gather together.

For the inside of the card I used a sentiment relating to fall and die cut a leaf and added it to the inside.
