Knowing that this very talented lady is on the 2015-2016 Artisan Design Team gave me an inkling that choosing a card to CASE might be tricky but it turned out to be even more difficult than I anticipated! 

I love the way that Cindy heat embossed and coloured the Fancy Frost DSP so I decided to use my favourite ... Copper embossing powder and combined it with Dapper Denim for a change.

Copper embossed Fancy Frost paper inspired by Cindy Schuster

Using a light touch, I swiped a Versamark pad across the Fancy Frost paper, sprinkled with the copper embossing powder and heat embossed.  I then sponged with Island Indigo ink followed by a very light touch of Dapper Denim over the raised areas.  I then cut the piece to size and sponged the edges with Dapper Denim ink.

Every angle gives a new view

I then made a swing fold card using Dapper Denim cardstock.  I added my Fancy Frost paper to the centre front and a frame of Copper Foil Sheet.  I used the Botanical Builder Framelits to create the floral decorations with Copper Foil Sheet, Dapper Denim and Marina Mist cardstocks.  I used Fancy Frost sequins for the centres of the flowers.

Swing cards are a fun fold that looks good from any angle

I adhered a piece of Marina Mist cardstock to the inside back of the card and stamped a greeting from the Tin of Cards stamp set in Basic Black ink.  I added some little Copper Foil blossoms that were cut with the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits.

The combination of Dapper Denim and Copper is very elegant

  
The other part of the card, I decorated with the remainder of my Fancy Frost paper and a greeting from the Hostess stamp set called Gift of Love.

Whilst not copper in colour, the Fancy Frost Sequins go very well with this colour scheme

 

I used this greeting because it epitomises my friend - she is so incredibly loving, nurturing and caring that it's a wonderful gift that she gives to the world.  I stamped it onto Soft Sky cardstock and cut it out with one of the new Stitched Shapes Framelits whch I layered onto a piece of Copper Foil cut with one of the Layering Squares Framelits and added a couple more of the Bloomin' Heart little blossoms.

Bloomin' Heart Wedding Card

Mostly neutral colours makes for an elegant wedding card

I made this card for the wedding we're attending tomorrow, using several layers of the Bloomin' Love heart glued together.  

The little flowers in Whisper White and Sahara Sand were cut with the same die set and stamped with the matching Bloomin' Love stamp set.  I found the easiest way to perfectly match the stamping and die-cutting was to cut first and then stamp with the help of my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (the opposite to what I would normally do!).  The centres are sequins from the new Fancy Frost collection in the new Holiday Catalogue with the addition of little pearls.

The side view of the card shows some of the depth

It's hard to see in the photograph but I've used three of the designs from the Fancy Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper and left them in their natural white state.

The banner was cut with the Duet Banner Punch with one Sahara Sand layer and the top layer is Pink Pirouette.  I stamped the greeting from the Seasonal Bells stamp set (in the new Holiday Catalogue) by selectively inking the part that I wanted to use with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.

The inside of the card is layered and stamped

The inside of the card is layered with Sahara Sand and Whisper White cardstock and stamped in Basic Black ink using the Floral Phrases stamp set.
