In Color Cards

After being inspired by some cards completed by a fellow demonstrator, I intended to CASE them completely.  But as is often the case with the creative process, new ideas sometimes spring up with each creation!  Although they all follow the same basic design, each one has variations.  On the Summer Starfruit card, I used the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and coordinating butterfly punch.  On the Gumball Green card, I embossed the tree with peppermint scented embossing powder.  The Midnight Muse card sports a Real Red button.  The Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals card both use embossing folders.  Which is your favorite?





These cards were inspired by Stampin' Up! demonstrator Jill Hillard.

Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing Machine

Have you ever wanted to use embossing folders to create the wonderful impressions your demonstrator or stamping friends have used?  Here is your opportunity!  Sizzix and Stampin' Up! have partnered to offer a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine. We have 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last.
The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut.

Click here to watch a video of the machine in action. (I could not get the video inserted into this blog post!)
