MSC - Mod Squad Challenge - Thank You

The first Mod Squad Challenge of the year is Thank You.  And who doesn't need a bunch of Thank You cards right after the holidays?!?

I received this great Spellbinders background die for Christmas - it helps when you buy some of your own presents LOL!!!  I cut the background in black and red, then added some of the contrasting cut outs to the red background and white card base.  The sentiment is die cut with a Cuttlebug die, the circles from Spellbinders and Sizzix.   Easy, but love how crisp it looks!

ODBD May Challenge - Embossing

I LOVE dry embossing, and try to incorporate the technique into every card I make.  I don't always succeed, but I do make an attempt.  Texture is a wonderful addition to most cards, and adds that "something special". 

Here is my response to the Our Daily Bread Designs May Challenge to use embossing on a card:

My Favorite Things image and sentiment, Jelly Roll on her heart, I "think" all of the embossing folders are Cuttlebug.

OWH Sketch Challenge 208

This week's sketch and my interpretation:

Recollections paper, Fiskars sentiment, Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I think the cupcakes need some glossy accents or bling...
