Craft Your Stash!

I am playing along with a couple of challenges today (haven't done that in a while!).  The Craft Your Stash challenge is a just for fun group on Facebook - that asks you to use something from your stash that you've never used.  I am also playing along with the Alphabet Soup challenge on the Papercrafter's Inner Circle group, with E is for Embossing Folder!

 

I have had this Carta Bella embossing folder for many years... and once I decided on using one for my card, I dug it out and pressed it with some soft green cardstock.  I pulled out the 5835 Mini Paper Pack from Art Impressions to die cut the Happy Birthday (Lawn Fawn), and matted it with the same green over a gingham oval.  

I wanted a simple colour palette, so I added a larger pale yellow oval, and used the Floral Spray dies from Spellbinders to cut the flowers and leaves.  I darkened the smaller flowers with some Scattered Straw ink, and added a few champagne pearls as their centers.

Yana's Daisies

My niece brought this die and embossing folder for me to try... and I had about 10 minutes to quickly die cut it in three different colours!  This is the gorgeous Yana's Daisies etched Die set.

I also got to try the Molded Frame 3D embossing folder, so I embossed it on some textured green cardstock, there is a mat die, that goes around the daisies, so I also cut that in green, and adhered the white daisy outline to it.  Since I cut the daisies in three colours, I mixed and matched each of them.  The sentiment is the It's Your Day Sentiment Strips press plate.

On the pink base, I added some green butterfly paper that was cut with the Hemstitched Rectangles die, and then the pink daisy outline was adhered to a vellum mat.  The Sentiment Strip was pressed onto Treasured Gold cardstock, and a few gold pearls finished it off.

I used the Etched Diagonal background plate from Pinkfresh Studio on my white card base, and attached the green daisy outline onto a white mat.  The sentiment is from the Every Day Sentiments press plate, pressed in gold ink.
