Masculine Split Card - Sneak Peek Floral Affection Embossing Folder

This is another card that I made in preparation for the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Dena Rekow that I didn't use and ended up orphaned!  I do like it though - so it should have it's time in the spotlight.

A masculine split card

I used Dena's instructions to make the split card from Basic Gray cardstock, which I layered with Whisper White before adding a layer of paper from the new Affectionately Yours DSP pack.

I cut a piece of Basic Gray cardstock and embossed it with one of the new Floral Affection embossing folders (there are two in the pack that will be released on 1 June).  Then I used a round corner punch.

I stamped the birthday greeting from Wetlands with Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with the Scallop Oval punch.  This punch is retiring but from 1 June there will be scallop oval framelits available in the new Layering Ovals Framelits.

Having glued the birthday greeting to the embossed layer, I attached it to the two pieces of the card front.

I added a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock to the inside of the card which shows through to the front, creating a soft but masculine appearance to the card.

Thank you for your visit.

On Sunday 8 May, I participated in the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Dena Rekow as our guest stamper where we CASE'd one of Dena's projects.  I decided to do a split card and had so much fun with it that I ended up making several cards and then having to decide which one to include in the Blog Hop!

This split card features the new In colour, Emerald Envy and the new
Floral Affection embossing folder

This was one of the cards that I didn't include in that Blog Hop but I like it enough to share it with you anyway.  So "thank you" once again to Dena Rekow for the inspiration and tutorial on split cards.

I used the new In Colour Emerald Envy for this card and layered it with some Mint Macaron DSP from the 2015-2017 In Colour DSP Stack.

I used Lots of Labels framelits to cut a layer of Whisper White and a smaller layer of Emerald Envy.  Then I embossed the green layer with one of the new embossing folders from the Floral Affection Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (there are two small folders in the set that will be available on 1 June).

Such an impressive design - so easy to do!

I used a Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker and some Whisper White Craft ink to colour the embossed section before adhering it to the white layer and using this panel to attach the two parts of the split card.  

Last, but not least, I added some Rhinestone Jewels to the flower centres.

Sneak Peek - 2016-17 Annual Catalogue - Affectionately Yours

I fell in love with this suite of goodies the moment I saw it!  There are some beautiful papers in the DSP pack and I love the little embossing folders! (There are two designs in the pack).

For this card I used the letterpress technique with Night of Navy ink on Crumb Cake cardstock.  I added one of the gorgeous Classy Designer buttons (carrying over from the current catalogue) that we were given at On Stage and I would have loved to have threaded it with the new Night of Navy Solid Bakers Twine!  Instead, I hunted through the sewing box I inherited from my mother and found a gorgeous old reel of Button Thread.  It's the wrong colour but, feeling sentimental, I used it anyway!  I hate to think how old it is!

For this card, I embossed a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and then used a sponge dauber to rub Whisper White Craft Ink over it.   The little matching stamped flower is from a stamp set that I received at On Stage, called Love & Affection.  It doesn't show in the picture, but I added clear Wink of Stella to the petals and gold Wink of Stella to the centre.  I punched it out with a 1 3/8" circle punch.
