Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for August

I created a card with the new Zoe paper and the August Stamp of the Month.

To create this I started with a White Daisy card base sized 5.5 x 4.25

Zoe paper coordinates with our Sorbet Card Stock.  The next layer is Sorbet and sized at 5.25 x 4.  I embossed a White Daisy piece sized 5 x 3.75 with our Dot Embossing folder.  The Sorbet band is sized at 5 x 1.5.   The Zoe (polka dot) is sized at 5 x 1.25.  The shapes on the August Stamp of the Month can be cut with our new Artistry Cricut Cartridge.  I highly recommend our new cartridge but these shapes could easily be cut by hand.

I think is always gives a card a little extra dimension to add our 3D tape behind the sentiment.

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Boghop for July

Here is a simple card that I created while at our consultant retreat.  The picture does not really show the detail.  I created a 4.25 x 5.5 card base using White Daisy card stock,  I then cut 2 pieces of White Daisy cardstock and embossed them with our Damask embossing folder.

I then used the white shimmer trim to cover the seams and added rolled flowers and vines.

Bridal Favors

I had a friend join me yesterday for paper crafting and we played around with making Bridal shower favors.

The favor boxes are from Tags, Bags, and Boxes 2.  The favors were cut from Glacier cardstock.  I wanted to cut just the overlay in White Daisy so we played around with Cricut Design Space to slice away what we didn't want.

This smaller one is just under 6 inches so we could cut 2 favors from a 12x12 sheet.  I used our Damask Embossing folder for the white dress.  I used the thin Glacier Washi Tape from the Boardwalk Washi Tape Pack for the waist.  I then embellished it with retired bitty pearls. 

This larger one was cut just over 8 inches.  Because of the proportions I did a double layer of the Glacier washi so it was wider then added the white shimmer trim on top.  

It was quite late when we finished but we had a great time catching up and creating.

Score Big with Embossing

We have even more embossing folders available now since this video was released.
