Monday Montage #231: Thanks a Bunch

Hello stampin' friends! The Sweet Citrus Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder are  two of my favorite products!  They. Are. Fabulous!

To create the Basic White top layer of this card- I inked the inside back of the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder with Daffodil Delight Classic Ink and then used a Small Blending Brush to add Polished Pink Classic Ink to the citrus images.  I then ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine to emboss the Basic White layer.  

The close up above shows the embossed images in the Basic White top layer.  This is an easy way to add a little more texture and dimension to the card.

The multicolored citrus images in the picture above were created the same way the Basic White top layer was created only this time I fussy cut the images out.

Monday Montage #230

Hello stampin' friends! Today I have a sweet Valentine to share!  It was created using the Conversation Bubbles Dies and the Love For You Dies.  That's right- a card with no stamping!  

Isn't it cute?  I don't often make cards that don't involve stamping but I had this idea in my head and couldn't resist putting it on paper. To create this look- I first cut a bunch of conversation bubbles using the Conversation Bubbles Dies.  Then I carefully arranged them onto a Basic White top layer and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I used a stapler to attach the tiny ribbon to the card layer.  Three tiny Sweet Sorbet  hearts (from the Conversation Bubbles Dies) were added around the Love You sentiment to add interest.  

The card was finished off by adding Heart Pearls.
