I'm so delighted that Georgiana (Carson's Creations) invited me to join her embossing blog hop. Embossing is my favourite technique to add to my paper creations - so I jumped at the chance to be involved! At each stop along the way, designers will be showcasing their projects and sharing embossing techniques - both heat and dry. There will also be prizes up for grabs along the way!
I made my card for my son's friend who LOVES wolves. I used My Community for the wolf and Celebrations for the hat and balloons, which were stamped with Peachy Keen faces.
For the main mat, I used a Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder. I added a few gems to the little embossed flowers. Adding gems, stickles, brads, etc., can be a great way to dress up your embossing.
I used D'Vine Swirls for the wolf's fur. This folder is a great one to use with your animal cuts. I used the same folder on my little Easter lamb card earlier this week.
The sentiment is from My Craft Spot and I used Stampin' Up punches for the little frames. I did some inking and stitching and my card was ready for my son's wolf-loving friend!
If there's anything I really like about blog hops, it's prizes! Here at Small Bits of Paper, I'm giving away your choice of one of the NEW My Craft Spot stamp sets!! Just leave your name and contact information in a comment on this post. I will announce the winner on Tuesday, April 3. (I'm also taking part in the My Craft Spot Stamp Release Blog Hop today - beginning at 8am EST. Be sure to check out that post for your chance to win a Happily Ever After stamp set, courtesy of Kimberly at My Craft Spot.)
Georgiana (Carson's Creations) is also offering prizes - for participating in the blog hop AND for creating a project trying an embossing technique! You can view the guidelines and link up your project at Carson's Creations.
Now it's time to hop along to visit Gwen at This and That, your next stop on the Carson's Creations Embossing Blog Hop.
