Happy Easter - Long Nugget Candy Box - Acetate

TGIF!  We have made it to another Friday and Good Friday at that!  I will be away for the next few days but I wanted to share my Nugget Candy Box I made for Easter.  You can get the tutorial from Sara over at Sarahs Ink Spot.  She has some great tutorials. 

I chose to the the sleeve of my box using acetate so you could see the cute little candies inside the box.  I used the eggs from the Nature Walk stamp set for the labels to wrap the candy.

One note, if you do choose to use the acetate for the sleeve, or the box, score and crease your lines very well!  Practice makes perfect.

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter. 

Friends Vintage Vogue Acetate - Tax Day

Hello everyone!  Hope you didn't spend all weekend grinding away at your taxes!  For once I had mine submitted before the last day and it was a great feeling not to have to worry about it.  The IRS is definiately not my friend but since this was a cheery card, I thought I would showcase it today! 

It's made with avetate and White Staz On ink.  The Staz On stamps so nicely on the acetate and dries in just a short time!  I'm going to try this one again with an outline stamp for a more elegant look.  The ribbon came from a birthday present!  I always save the ribbons because you never know when it will be a perfect match for one of your projects!

The "F" and Friends are part of the Stampin Up Vintage Vogue stamp set.  It has always been an "old faithful" of mine and you can change the look from elegane to whimsical very easily.

Thinking of You - Embossed Acetate

I have been so excited waiting to share this card with you.  I love the look of the embossed acetate.  I used the Stampin Up! Elegane Lines embossing folder and ran a scrap through my Big Shot machine.  The stamps are from the Thanks for Caring set and I stamped them in Tempting Turquoise.  I  punched an elegant border to frame the aacetate and used dimensionals to add the flower and butterfly.

I also wanted to show you the inside which you see from the front of the card through the acetate.  I thought the embossed acetate would take away from seeing the sentiment but it works great!  Give it a try, you will love it!

Happy Birthday Embossed Acetate Card / BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY!!!

TGIF!  I am so ready for the weekend and it's supposed to be a nice one! I've got some stuff to prepare for a friend but other than that hopefully we will be beach bound and get a little shopping in!

 Today I am featuring one of my favorite cards.  It is made with Embossed Acetate.  I ran the top half of the card (acetate) through the Lots of Dots embossing folder and placed a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock on the inside for the base.  I colored the flower with the Prismacolor pencils and did lots of shading for the beautiful detail. I used the upcoming new Designer Paper for the top of the card and the sentiment mat at the bottom.  I think it's just beautiful!
