Smile and Congratulations

Hello and welcome!

Today I have a couple more 2 for 1 cards.

For these two cards I embossed some white card stock with 

the Octogon Embossing Folder from Darice.

I then used Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin

Distress Inks to color the embossing with an ink

blending tool.

I cut the embossed piece into two pieces and used one for 

this card.

I used this sentiment inside the card,

from Cas-ual Friday

(sorry I can't find a direct link)

For this card I used the other half of the embossed piece

and a congratulations from my stash of stamps.

For both cards, I cut down some scrap pieces of coordinating 

card stock and added little strips to finish off the card.

I'm happy with how these cards turned out.

Thanks for stopping today, I hope you have been

inspired in some way.

Come again soon.

Until then,

try something new.

2 for 1 Arrow Cards

Hello All!

Today I have a couple cards to show you.

These are what I call 2 for 1 cards.

I emboss a piece of card stock with 

an embossing folder and cut

it and use the 2 pieces to make 2 different cards.

For these 2 cards I used the

Arrow Background folder from Darice

I then used

Bundled Sage and Crushed Olive

Distress Inks to blend the color onto the 

embossed pieces.

I added a strip of coordinating card stock

along the edge of the embossed piece and

stamped the sentiments.

Now I have 2 cards, simple and easy to make,

ready for when I need them.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Come again soon, you never know what you'll fine on

Kristie Kreates!

Blended Stripes

Hello blog friends!

Welcome to my world!

Today I have a couple cards to show you,

more from my embossing frenzy.

For these cards I used the 
Diagonal Stripes Embossing Folder

from Darice and embossed white card stock.

I then used a ink blending tool and a  combination of 
Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch

Distress Inks to add color.
I cut the embossed panel so I could make it into 

a 2 for 1 set and adhered them to the white card bases.

I added strips of coordinating card stock along the edge to give 

it a more finished look.

The believe, dream and inspire are from a stamp set I have

in my stash, but have no clue who they were made by.

The sentiment on this one is from the 

Lovely stamp set from Cas-ual Fridays

I can't find a link for this though.

As I often do, I left the inside blank to

be able to add a sentiment of personal

message at a later date.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I appreciate you spending time with me.

I hope you will come again soon.

Until then:

Happy Crafting!

Embossed Star Card

Hello crafty people!

Today's card is another one I made during my 

embossing folder craze that I went through one evening.

I embossed a piece of white card stock with

Stars Assorted Embossing Folder from Darice

I then inked it with Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin Distress inks,

using an Ink Blending Tool.

I cut the panel into 2 pieces and adhered to a white card base.

I stamped the words onto the card with 

Orange County Color Theory Ink

from Studio Calico.

The inside is left blank to write my own message.

Thanks for coming by today,

I hope you are having a very crafty day and

will come again soon

Until then:

Do what makes you happy!

Embossed cards

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a few cards to show you.

I made these cards using an embossing folder.

I inked the one side of the inside of an embossing folder,

put card stock into the folder and ran it through

my Cuttlebug.
By inking one side of the folder, when it is run

through the Cuttlebug, it presses the ink into the 

embossed area, coloring it.

This image was inked and embossed with 

yellow Color Theory ink

creating a nice crisp image.

After doing the first image, I did a second

generation print for this card.

I ran the folder through the Cuttlebug

again with a piece of card stock,

but did not reink the folder,

giving a much softer look.

This card was done with the same 

technique using an 

Orange Color Theory Inkpad

second generation  printing.

The embossing folder I used was

Rose Mosaic from Darice

Thanks for spending time with me today.

I hope you have learned something and/or been

inspired in some way.

See you next time, until then;

Get inky!
