Cloudy here but, sun is shining through on these adorable critters! Our son-in-law is celebrating his birthday vacationing in sunny Florida today and we are thinking we are pretty fortunate to have him in our family! These cute sets by Mama Elephant stole my heart and I thought they were perfect for this card today.
Making clouds is so fun with the MFTStamps Cloud Stencil, I could have just kept making clouds all the way down my card. Sun beams were easy with the MFTStamps Radiating Rays stencil and grass was just a wee bit of mowed lawn brushed up against some masking tape.
A “TWO-FER” today with another Mama Elephant card I made the other day. This one using the cute little Tea With Friends bunny and her kitty friend.
I love using embossing folders with die cuts. Always remember make your die cut FIRST! If you run your embossing folder through your machine after you have embossed it, it will squish out all your lovely embossing!
Speaking of embossing. You know those awesome 3D type embossing folders? I have a couple of them and used one on a card I made the other day in my AWESOME, BRAND SPANKING NEW GEMINI JUNIOR. I’m pretty sure I had my sandwich wonky. It was too thick. Uh-huh. Broke the machine. Read and re-read the manual. Just because you are certified to drive your BIG SHOT does not necessarily give you the skills to operate your Gemini even if you read your manual. Not all embossing folders are the same! Be careful! That Gemini Junior machine is awesome and mine is off for repairs!
