SEASON OF ELEGANCE MOSAIC

I have another card today made with the Love & Strength Stamp Set.

The background for this card was made with the Mosaic Embossing Technique using the Pretty Peacock version of the Season of Elegance Specialty Paper.

Since the paper had gold foiling, I used Gold Embossing Powder for the technique.

The Mosaic Embossing Technique is a technique that I learned recently.  It is so much fun and very easy to do, but the result is always impressive.

I demonstrated this technique a couple of weeks ago on Learning with Friends.  If you missed the video premier you can still always watch the replay.

The flower from Love & Strength was Heat Embossed with Gold Embossing powder and then colored with Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

The tag was die cut with a die from Something Fancy Dies.  The sentiment from Love & Strength was also heat embossed in gold and then die cut with a Stylish Shapes Die.  A faux bow made with gold cord and three Neutrals Gold Sequins finish the card front.

The inside of the card uses another of the wonderful and encouraging sentiments from Love & Strength.  A strip of Season of Elegance Specialty Paper and Brushed Gold Specialty Paper provide a little "bling" to the inside.

LOVE & STRENGTH NOTE CARD

This week I am using the Love & Strength Stamp set from the 2024 September - December Mini Catalog.  This stamp set is NOT on the Last Chance List, which is great news.  If you are looking for a stamp set that has wonderful sentiments of encouragement this set is an excellent choice.

Today's card is a Note Card that has a cute surprise on the inside to bring cheer to someone special.

I stamped the flower with Black Memento ink and then colored it with Stampin' Blends.  The colors used on the card are Pretty in Pink and Lost Lagoon.  This is such a soft and pretty combination.

I don't often use Designer Series Paper (DSP) as a mat on my cards, but the Unbounded Beauty DSP was the inspiration for card, and I like the bit of pattern peaking out around the focal point.  This Pretty in Pink design is very soft and calming and I liked how it looked with the flower from Love & Strength.

I also used the DSP on the envelope flap and the surprise on the inside of the card.

Isn't this a cute little gift bag on the inside?  It is the perfect size to tuck a gift card into.  

I showed how to make this cute little bag a few weeks ago on Learning with Friends.  If you missed that video, you can still always watch the replay.

I hope you will give it a try!  As you will see in the video, it is so much easier than you might think!
