This is my place to share with family and friends. You might find handmade cards, digital scrapbook pages, photos or a little chatter because those are the things I love. My blog is a work in progress, so be patient with me. Most of the time I think I will be talking to myself, but hey, I'm used to that!

Finally a card to post...

This was one of my March workshop cards but I just never got around to photographing it until now. I had a lot of fun showing my stampers how to make the "Faux Suede" flower and leaves. If you haven't tried this technique there is a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. Our Stampin' Up! card stock works so well for this. Jackie Topa has a tutorial on her blog so go over and check it out. Thank you Jackie, for sharing so many cool ideas!



All supplies from Stampin' Up!
Pretty In Pink, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Kraft, Rose Red, and Old Olive card stock. Pretty In Pink grosgrain 1/4 inch ribbon. Crimper, SU Circle punches, Bone folder, and Pinking Hearts border punch. Stamp set is "On Your Birthday". Ink Chocolate Chip Classic.

Wow! I have not been on SCS frequently and look what I have been missing! This is gorgeous! I bet everyone in the club loved it!

Beautiful! I was hoping you would give this a try and post it after you asked me about how I did mine! I LOVE this card!!! Now I need to go make some stamp time and do some more Faux Suede. This technique definitely separates the good CS (SU!) from the cheaper ones!
