Soft Suede Vintage Vogue

Hi! Here is another card that we stamped at my Friday Night Stamp Club. And we will be also stamping this card at my Day-Time & P.M. Stampin' Classes. It's so pretty. I first created this card at my downline, Sally's class several weeks ago. The original idea for this card comes from Shannon West from Stampin' Up! on Stampin' Connection (community for Demonstrators only).

The important part to remember on this card is to stamp the images first in Soft Suede BEFORE you emboss the flower, so that you can see the stamped image under the embossed image. It's such a pretty card!! After you emboss the flower, take a sponge dauber with Soft Suede ink and lightly dab the ink around the flower to create a soft look. Then wipe the embossed image with a paper towel or tissue to wipe off any ink. Now I created a Sympathy card here, but you can change the sentiment for your needs. I just thought it made a nice sympathy card...soft and simple!

Below is the inside of the card. I thought it was so pretty, I just had to take a picture of it!! I stamped "off" the floral twice on scrap paper before stamping on the Very Vanilla cardstock for a lighter image. The greeting is stamped in full color. Nice little touch, don't you think?

Supplies:
Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Very Versatile (retired, for the greeting)

Ink: Soft Suede, Versamark

Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Sponge Daubers

So elegant, but so simple!!

Take care,
Karen

2 Vintage Vogue cards!!

Hi! I have 2 cards to share with you today using the stamp set, Vintage Vogue, from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

I created this first card several weeks ago at a class that my downline, Sally invited me to. I absolutely LOVE the colors...Taken with Tea, Soft Suede, and Kraft. Such a pretty card!!

For the second card, I changed the colors and the layout a bit. I used my Texturz Plate to create a bit of texture on the Rich Razzleberry cardstock. It's difficult to see in the picture, but it's there!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Sincere Salutations
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Always Artichoke, Pale Plum (center of flower with a Sponge Dauber)
Paper: Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, Always Artichoke
Accessories: Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates, Big Shot, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Stampin' Sponges, Sponge Dauber, Dimensionals

It was fun!!! Here is one of the cards. We used Vintage Vogue, which is a stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog. It's so pretty! I have a few things that I have created using this set, that you will see in the next couple of days. So come back and take a look!!
