Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using Stampin' Up! links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support my blogs. Thank you in advance for that support!

As of January 21, 2026, most of my Stampin' Up! makes are moving to
https://cheringloveofpaper.blogspot.com/, with makes from other materials here.
Enjoy browsing my blogs, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into these blogs feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Golden Anniversary


Here's my last gold-embossed card from this card making marathon.  I thought it would be great for a golden anniversary card.

CARD FRONT:
  • Background - The background was created in layers.  First a black piece of paper a bit smaller than the card front; then a piece of gold holographic a bit smaller than that (I cut out the center of it that wouldn't be seen using a rectangular die - and saved that for another project). 
  • Focal - The focal started as a black rectangular piece of card stock to which I added heat-embossed images.  The borders are from Lacy Things stamp set (HOTP).  The sentiment from the Stamp and Punch set (HOTP).  The wedding couple are from Inkadinkadoo's Wedding set.  After I had heat embossed those, I went back and heat embossed the bottom of the girl's dress again, adding my VersaMark ink with the tip of a hardened pencil eraser to fill it in better so the border didn't show through so much.  When all was ready, I attached it to the card front with foam tape and added a bow in the upper left-hand corner.

INSIDE:
  • Borders - As you can probably tell, these are heat embossed in the same way and using the same stamp as was used on the front of the card.  However, I cut these out leaving a narrow black border all the way around.
