March card workshop

Some friends and I got together to make cards Saturday... here are the cards we made!

The first card was an example of using card stock without a printed paper.  We embossed the card stock "by hand", and distressed the card stock.  The colors in this card are sweet leaf and cocoa, cocoa ink, and hemp baker's twine.  The stamp was from the February stamp of the month set, Wild About Love.

This card uses the Lollydoodle paper pack, and the stamp sets Love This and Cursive Birthday.  Ink colors used were slate and sorbet.  It is embellished with flamingo dots.

This last card is my favorite.  I started out with a totally different plan, but am happy with how it came out.  This used the Laughing Lola paper, buttercup and cotton candy card stock, and the bird is Laughing Lola purple. The images are from the You Are My Happy stamp set, a past stamp of the month.  The bases for the flowers were cut with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  Again, love those flamingo dots!

All products mentioned above are Close To My Heart!

It was a fun afternoon!  I love that I have such great friends to share my love of stamping with!

    Hello Betty's Crafting Place! I love all these clever cards! I thought it was very cool to learn how to make our own embossed background by hand. You always have such great ideas and thank you so much for teaching me new and fun card techniques from Lynda

    I had a great time too. I need to learn different things because I buy the card making kits and it is always nice to mix them up and make the paper go farther.
