Beary Embossing!

I just loved this stamp I found at Hobby Lobby at 50% off! I don't know if I have mentioned before my Prismacolor markers that I love! I had no idea I would be able to shade these stamps so well! :)  In the top photo you cannot really see the embossed effects since I chose to not use my flash.

The photo below you get a better idea of the effect of the embossing powder. So awesome! The cards just come to life!

Embossing Powder Discovery!

My family went all out on Mother's Day as I have mentioned before. I received everything I think I need for card making. My husband really enjoys trying to make me happy. He knows the quote holds true, "Happy wife, Happy Life!"  One of the things he wanted me to try was the embossing. I had mentioned the Cuttlebug machine to him numerous occasions but somehow it was overlooked. That's okay I won't hold it against him. :)

This Thank You card was made for my son's girlfriend. She was so sweet to give me a Mother's Day gift and I wanted to do something for her in return. I embossed the stamped rose from Inkadinkado Doodle Flowers, the Thank you greeting as well as the flower pattern onto the purple card stock.
