Stamping A Storm!!

Honestly, I made 8 cards today.  They would have probably been done a lot sooner, but with so many interruptions, I just finished!

  I used my stamp set, Encouraging Verses from All That Scraps.  I left it the same size, but changed the color of some of the words (Tutorial Here).  I made them the same color as Taken With Teal, since that is the color scheme I had in mind for my cards.  I then duplicated it, and printed them off on a 8.5 X 11 sheet of white CS.  Enough sentiments for 9 cards at the touch of a button!

 

Here is the final eight.  I used THIS TUTORIAL to ink up my embossing folders (I used 4 different ones) with teal on white CS, matting them on black.  The 1 3/4 X 4 strip of teal was added on top, with faux piercing done on the bottom using a black marker and my trusty mat pack.

I added the reversible satin ribbonalong the seam, and tied it in a knot.  I attached my sentiments to the black that had the bottom edge scalloped.  I used my 1/2 circle punch to make a half circle on the edge, and added it to the card with dimensionals.  The clear dew drops were added with crystal effects.

I think they turned out quite nicely.  I am also making a holder for them right now, but that will be another post, since it is not quite done yet.  Have fun and happy stamping!!

These are beautiful Julie! I never would have thought to ink an embossing folder. Your tutorial makes it look so easy... I'm going to have to give it a try.
