Have you seen a Plaid Snowflake?

The current challenge over at

Can You Handle the Pressure 

is coming to a close and I wanted to 

add to the Gallery for their

Anything Goes Embossing with a Twist of Plaid

For my card I got out some very old 

Cuttlebug Christmas Embossing Folders.

Embossed and die cut the squares, corner rounded a few,

 framed them and popped.

The main big plaid (tartan) snowflake diecut 

 is also CB which included the embossed image.

 I used that, but can't see it after I clear heat embossed it twice.

The white snowflake was dry embossed.

Added layers as well as a scored strip to the background.

The old Swiss Dots just added something extra also.

Sentiment is from Tim's Great Outdoors.

Nice to get some old favourites out again and have fun!

Thanks for dropping in for a visit.

It's Bold and Beautiful

 Hello and welcome to todays post for

Just Us Girls hosted by Vicki

I was watching This Video on YouTube with

Simon Hurley recently and as soon as it finished

I knew I HAD TO TRY IT!

as it was perfect for our Trend Week

Here's a close up

My stencil is Altenew Cheerful Bloom

and simply did exactly as Simon showed us

using most of my Nuvo Shimmer Powders

and fussy cut.

Added my STAMPlorations sentiment

heat embossed in gold.

 Added lots of pop dots and attached to

Crazed Paper I got from our Officeworks.

It was such an easy and quick card but

what a dramatic result! 

I am going to do this again but with my

Lindy's Magical's as I am sure to get

another dramatic result.

Head over and see the beautiful cards

the Team created and I am sure 

you will want to join in this week.

Add to our Gallery and you could be our

Chic of the Week and in the running to be

our Guest Designer in May.

#UPDATE Sending this over to

AG Embossing with a Twist of Plaid

In the Pink!

 Just a really quick post today as I am trying to

 beat the clock and get my card in the Gallery

 for the New Kids on the Blog - 

Can You Handle The Pressure?

Their first Challenge is

AG Embossing with a Twist of Pink

I have gone with the Retired Manhatten Flower 

Embossing Folder from SU

I added Lindy's Alpine Ice Rose and Oom Pah Pah Pink

and a hint of Nuvo Golden Sparkle

to the inside and sprayed with water

then layed my w/c paper down and

ran it through my machine.

I have already done this technique recently

and will see it in a few weeks.

I then fussy cut and attached in front of

two other folders from

Darice and again from SU.

Popped my Manhatten Flower

Added a sentiment  from STAMPlorations

and Petal Pink Liquid Pearls to complete.

Thanks for visiting

See you again real soon.
