Another Thank You

Another Thank You

We used the embossing resist technique on this simple card that we made for Stamp Camp last month. Embossing resist is an easy technique where you emboss your focal image in clear ink on your white or vanilla card stock and then stamp over it with your background images. The ink won’t stick to the Clear Embossing (after it has been heated). When you wipe the ink away from your embossed image (with a soft tissue) the original card stock color shows through.

On this card we stamped the large Thank you image from Another Thank You on Very Vanilla card stock and then over stamped it with the background leaves from Gently Falling. We then sponged any remaining uninked cardstock with a light rub of So Saffron to make the entire image pop. Then we just layered that piece on our Old Olive card stock base. Easy Peasy.

Thanks for looking

This card is done with the new photopolymer set called Another Thank You. I embossed the thank you image and then stamped the leaves. I trimmed the edges of the burlap ribbon to give it a different look. I also used some of the trimmed strands to  add to the wispy fall look.

I finished off the bow with an antique brad and held the leaves in place with little copper safety pins. Bring on the fall weather!

Mystery Hostess Event!

Thankful Thursdays is a great reason to kick off a Mystery Hostess event using the new Hostess code! You can place orders in the online store and link to a particular workshop. Your order placed in the online store will ship immediately, but the workshop can be held open all month. You could take advantage of each Thursday’s special and possibly earn Hostess rewards for the event as well! Each time you place an order this month you will entered in the drawing for the hostess rewards. This workshop will also be eligible for the extra hostess benefits!
It is really easy to order in the online store.

Here is the Hostess code for this event

GJGTYCGT

Enter this code when you place your order in My Online Store. There is a hostess code box at the bottom of the page to enter it.There is a minimum shipping charge in the online store. You can still place orders by email, but I won’t be able to add them to this particular Mystery Hostess event because of the one day specials and I would have to hold the order till the end of the month. If you have any trouble ordering in the online store, just call me and I’ll help you through it.

Good luck on being the next Mystery Hostess!

Belinda
