OMI love this. Embossed brick is perfect. great job.

[Gigi]

I agree Retta-the card is great but that embossed brick just makes it - fabulous!

[Elizabeth]

Love it, Mary! I have never seen "brick" paper. It looks cool!

[Mary Kobe]

Love it, Mary! I have never seen "brick" paper. It looks cool!

Elizabeth, I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix brick embossing folder.

[Elizabeth]

Well that makes it even cooler!

I agree, very cool brick work on the card!!!!

Here are 2 more cards I made. My niece and a good friend both had surgery recently, so I made them Gate fold cards.

Uh oh - may get in trouble for posting one at a time = but I am trying Lisa - just haven't hit Christmas yet!!! All of these birthdays are getting in the way!

My oldest granddaughter turns 12 on the 30th - yikes! Who could have guessed she would be into Batman!!! Hence the Batman logo card. The black batman logo is Tyler's velvet paper - cuts like butter. And true confessions - this was my firsts time cutting chipboard I know.. I know.......!! So I used Tyler's .022 chipboard and cut the letters out twice, glued them together and glittered them. Could not believe I was able to do that with the regular 45 degree blade!

The inside was foiled on vellum - I tried to get a good picture and just could not capture all of it without getting shading -but in person it is all bright silver using a file folder to the carrier - having great success with that.

That is a super awesome card, Gigi!!

[Gigi]

Thanks Lisa - I hope she likes it!! Way out of my comfort zone! LOL

[Elizabeth]

CeCe, those are terrific cards. I love the cuts on the tops.

Gigi, that is a great card for your granddaughter. You are the foiling master!

[Gigi]

LOL Elizabeth - not hardly - but at least I am finally using it - a LOT. Now that I have been able to get consistently good results I want to use it all of the time!! Funny how that works!

[Elizabeth]

I keep hoping to use mine enough to get consistent results. I pictured using it a lot for Christmas projects, so it is probably time to jump all over it! (My issue is with my printer, rather than the Foil Master or foils.)

[CeCeCreates]

Thanks ladies. Cool card Gigi! She will love it.

[Retta]

this is so creative! she is gonna feel so special. Cool!

[Elizabeth]

Here is my latest entry. I have seen these rosette style snowflakes around for the past few weeks. I thought it would be fun to create my own files. I will be sharing them on my blog soon.

They are really fun to make, and I will be making lots of them to add to packages, and as party favors for the ladies brunch that I host each December.

Those are great, Elizabeth!!
