In case you are not a regular Papertrey Ink fan, you should definitely take a look at Nichole Heady's blog HERE this week just to see the entire list of previous Make It Monday videos! What a wealth of crafting techniques. AND it's not too late to join the challenge for this week. The idea here is to choose one of the techniques from the past year that you missed out on. I chose Make It Monday #13: Impression Plate Tricks #2 presented by Erin Lincoln.
Here's my project:
Here are the details: Everything is Papertrey Ink!
Card stock: Aqua Mist
Envelopes: Kraft
Impression Plate: Sunshine
Die: Angled Labels
Stamp: Fresh Alphabet, Trehan Monogram Edition
Other: Versamark Ink, Silver Embossing powder
Erin does a great job of explaining this technique in the video. If you haven't tried it, give it a go-I think it makes a very interesting card. I'd love to hear what you think as well.
Thanks for stopping by,
Suzanne
What a lovely card! Looks like you went to a boutique and spent megabucks!
ReplyDeleteHey Suzanne!! This is one technique I haven't had the guts to try and you've pulled it off SO well, it is so classy and like the above commenter said, it looks expensive. I love that you also embossed the envelope flap. A very delicate and thoughtful touch :)
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. I love how you have done the envelope, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat great stationary this would make. Love the Ip on the envelope too.
ReplyDeleteWow, Suzanne, what a totally awesome CAS design! I love the simplicity and elegance of it! Thanks for your good wishes on my blog--yes I'm feeling much better. Just in time for our 70 degree weather. Last year this time we had 8 inches of snow on the ground!
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant design!! Definitely a technique I need to try.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, I just lay down the butterfly die-cut where I wanted it and then stamped over the original background to match em up. Thanks for your kind comment!
Suzanne, my first trip to your blog and your cards are just awesome. Such a talent.
ReplyDeleteHow brilliant to impress the envelope flap! Love the idea of making monogrammed stationery. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the Embossing touch on the envelope! Very nice card to:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, love how you used the technique. have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty! Love the texture and the blue colors. :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is so elegant and classy! I love it. I better go watch that video now. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this classy design Suzanne. I tried this technique and found that the upturned die cut through the paper, even with two rubber embossing mats between it and the paper. Did the 'backside' of your card front have a cut, but not all the way through?
ReplyDeleteI need to follow you, because I don't want to miss a bit of your brilliance, but first I need to figure out what is involved. (I'm still struggling with inconsistencies in my blog template!) Happy New Year Suzanne and may it be filled with your creativity.
A beautiful classy card
ReplyDeleteSuzanne I love your die embossing. Such wonderful cards. You set them up so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Suzanne, and I love that you did the envelope ! I forget to do that. Love how your card turned out. Sounds like a fun day planned, enjoy! Happy New Year if I did not say it to you yet.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant- I will have to give this technique a go.
