Place cards for Tom and Ben

The next reveal of my 8 projects is the embossed place cards. These place cards were not shown in the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog post.

I kept my place cards simple to draw a natural vintage theme. The whisper white cards stock was first embossed with the woodgrain textured embossing folder. I then heat embossed the woodgrain emboss with gold embossing powder.
To finish off, I used the cards that were perforated to create quick label name cards and stamped the Hello, please take a seat stamp from the bundle.

This Party, Party bundle comes in handy for putting together quick creative parties.

I was required to use items from the Party, Party Bundle. They come in 2 colors.

Party, Party Calypso Coral Bundle

Decked out Invitations

To continue on with the rest of the 8 projects I was required to create using the Party, Party Bundle, I am showing you a card today as my Creative Wednesday post. I made an over the top 6"x6" party invitation.

I dissected in half the tiny treat bags from the bundle to make a cute craft envelop. One bag was enough to make 2 cards. I slipped the invitation card into the envelop and finished off the card.

The Always Artichoke mini envelop was created using the Envelop Punch Board.

I really love the stickers and labels that come with the bundle. It adds quick finishing touches to the projects.

Come back later this week as I reveal the rest of the projects.

Over the next couple of posts, I will be blogging about these projects. I submitted 8 projects and only 5 of these were featured on the guest post. Make sure you come back to see the completed set of 8 projects.

In the kit, there are 10 cute craft treat bags and sheets of 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. Just in time for Chinese New Year, I turned the 6"x6" DSP into fortune cookies and the treat bags for hostess favours. You can do so much more with this kit. I'll show you more over the next few days.

For the record, fortune cookies aren't Chinese. They were created in North America.

Alphabet Press Stamp Club

I missed out on posting last week's Creative Wednesday. I wanted to catch up on the missed post on the weekend but I got hit by another migraine. I'm finally well enough to get out of bed today just in-time for this week's Creative Wednesday post.

We used a fun embossing folder stamping technique last week to make this card. Sometimes you never know what else you can do with your embossing folder other than putting it through the Big Shot machine.

In this card, we used the Six-Sided Sampler bundle that comes with a coordinating punch. I also used a small sliver of washi tape in the background to add a bit of texture and subtle yellow color. Another quick and fun card!
