I was inspired by THIS blog post by Jennifer McGuire to try inking an embossing folder before cranking it through my die cut machine.
My ink did not turn out as smooth as hers did – my brayer is old and not used much, maybe I need a new one. I was happy enough to make it into a card to be mailed off to a friend.
“Sparkly” is in the title because the blue paper is iridescent when you tilt it towards the light.

For my dear friend who no longer lives across the cul-de-sac!
It has been a long week for me.
Hope you are well.

Made this card for someone who loves cats and has an October birthday. The Spooky Night paper (purchased several years ago on clearance) just seemed perfect.

The crafting companies have been showing lots of slimline cards the last 2 months. As if they were newly invented. 😉
As always, I struggle with birthday cards for the men in my life. This was made for one of the MANY October birthdays in my family.
Supplies: Stamps – Papertrey Ink, Taylored Expressions, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Desert Storm, Stampin’ Up!

This is another card I made for Mom’s birthday.
I used a stencil to apply transfer gel, when that was dry, I ran it through my laminator with reactive foil.
Always difficult to capture foil in a photo!
And I found my Kindle charging cord the 5th time I checked my computer bag (how it traveled to/from vacation).
Supplies: Stamp – Papertrey Ink, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy, Pool Party, ink – VersaFine Onyx Black, die – Lawn Fawn (stitched rectangle), foil – Heidi Swapp Minc, embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.
I used my ZIG real brush pens to wash a coral-y mix of pink and orange over this daisy (stamped on Bristol cardstock). After die cutting, I mounted on some neutral Amy Tangerine paper. Sadly, when I went to pull cardstock for matting and the sentiment, I found I was out of the old Stampin’ Up! Cameo Coral (a soft pastel coral). I did find a sheet of Regal Rose in my stash, it is close enough for this.
Dropped into the mail to a family member, HOPEFULLY arriving on time for Thursday birthday!
