Embossed Ovals


This is such a delicate card.
The original idea was
CASED from my long time stamping pen pal
Celia Magro. She is a super stamper
and sends me cards that challenge and inspire me.

Begin by layering a 4 x 5.25 inch white
embossed piece of card stock over a light
pink card stock.
I used my narrowest Perfect Layers
edge to cut the perfect layer.

Cut and emboss the two sizes of pink ovals
using Spellbinders Beaded Ovals dies.
Then cut the coordinating ovals that
fit inside the beaded ovals from Spellbinder
nesting ovals.
Now emboss those ovals in the same
folder that you used to make the white
embossed layer.
Attach the pink embossed ovals
to the center of the white beaded ovals.

The smaller oval layers are positioned in
the lower right corner of the card.
The larger oval layers have been make
to stand out from the card with 3-D foam.

The flower and butterflies have been
punched from a pearlized white card stock.
Some clear Stickles was added to both.
There is a adhesive backed rhinestone
in the center of the 2 layer flower.

Bosskut made the flourish which
has been cut from plain white card stock
and attached to the largest of the ovals.

The Spellbinders tag has also been cut from the
pink card stock.
The phrase is computer generated and
was sized at the time of creation to fit this tag.

Leave some comments and let
me know how your version of this
card turned out.

Tri Oval Cards



These are very simple basic cards. The card on the left with the lavender mesh image by B-Line is a stamped background that is embossed with clear embossing powder. Spellbinders dies were used to create ovals and scalloped ovals on both cards.

For the "With Sympathy" scrapbooking paper was attached to the card front. Note that the edges are sponged with dark brown ink. The embossing powder is an old one that I have had for ages. It has some glitter in it. One of the those flowers has a matching shade of blue (sort of, LOL)

Punch and Shape Flowers




These flowers are so much fun!

Most of the punches used are from a wonderful company called Punch Bunch. The flowers are punched out and then shaped with various sizes of stylus. I use the back side of a computer mouse pad to allow the stylus to gently shape the flower petals. A circular motion seems to work best.

A few more hints, after the petals have all been shaped, turn the flower over and use a smaller stylus to press in the center.


I use a toothpick with a tiny bit of glue on it to pick up the flower centers from the back side, then carefully place middle of the shaped petals.

The ovals are cut from a Spellbinders oval Nestibilities die. Silk wallpaper was used for the textured cream background. I often check the damaged and sale section for wallpaper. I got this roll for $8 as the ends had been damaged. Still works great for card backgrounds!!!

The gold around the oval and the silk wallpaper rectangle is gold gift wrap.


Happy punching!!!
