Parchment CAS

For my card(s) this week,  I decided to get out the Parchment and make some CAS Christmas cards.

  Hard to photograph with the gloomy lighting here. I love using Parchment and embossing and using the stylus to 'deboss' on the Parchment as well.
  The frame on the Lt is called Elegant Scrollwork Frame. I always use the Antistatic pad to swipe the Parchment cardstock before embossing on it. I used Sweet Stamps Detail White EP. I added the sentiment in the center and embossed it, and to finish the card, I fussy cut around the outer edge of the frame.
  The card on the Right uses the Artist Trading Card Frame. I used the antistatic on the Parchment Vellum first, then embossed with Queens Gold Embossing Powder. Lastly,  I added the sentiment in the center and embossed it, and to finish the card, I fussy cut around the outer edge of the frame.

 I needed a Sympathy card, so I quickly whipped up one additional card:

 You can see the detail a bit better on this card- in the swirls in-between the gold embossing is where I 'debossed', or used the stylus from behind to add detail- looks white- in that space. I added a small bow using 3/8" ribbon- SU retired Gold Organdy.

Here are the supplies I used from the SweetStamps Store:

Parchment Craft Vellum PCV25	Embossing Pal Anti-Static Pouch	Distress Clear Embossing Ink	Detail White EP	Soft Grip Stylus Tools	All Purpose Spray Adhesive by Krylon
Artist Trading Card Frame (ATC)	Queen's Gold	Joyous Wishes	Staggered Sympathy

Let it Snow ...

Good morning. Ruza here sharing my final project with you as a Guest Designer for Sweet Stamps. So let's get to it ...

This weeks Sweet Stamps Challenge #141 is all about Frames.

I make cards for Operation Write Home so I created a Winter card for today's post. Before I inked up the cool Artist Trading Card Frame 440L stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink I went thru my design paper collections to find the perfect set to use for my Winter card. I went with Echo Park's Winter Wishes Collection from last year. 

Once the Artist Trading Card Frame 440L was stamped on the design paper, I fussy cut it out, including the center to add my scenic design paper behind it. That penguin sticker just spoke to me so I put him in the center of the Frame, and placed the frame at a slight angle on my cardbase of Rustic White cardstock. A sticker sentiment flag, some snowflakes, and enamel dots were added to finish off my design.
