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 links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support this blog. Thank you in advance for that support!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

2 Lavender Blue Birthday Cards


Both of today's cards were made using Lavender Blue Opal Polish from Cosmic Shimmer.  The first was made using an image & tags from Hunkydory's Cute and Cuddly Whopper Topper Pad.  

The front was created by applying the opal polish directly to the card front, then embossing it with an embossing folder (Teresa Collins - "Decor Circles" - European A4 size).  A couple Hunkydory pieces and a piece of purple glitter velvet ribbon completes the card front.

INSIDE:

For the inside, I cut the center out of a A2 sample I had embossed earlier (Spellbinder's 3D Mediterranean Medallion - see here) - matted it on a lavender scrap of card stock, and added a bit of ribbon peaking out from either side (to hide a scored line that was on the scrap!).  A couple more Hunkydory sentiments completed the inside.

My next card was made in a similar way:


This time I started with black card stock, added the opal polish (same one) and embossed the card front (same embossing folder).  This time I used images, tags & frames from Hunkydory's Twilight Forest Luxury Card Collection - the set called "Under the Stars".  This time I used black fun foam to raise the frame of the star around the focal.  A bit of 1/8" satin ribbon added to a tag adds the finishing touch.
