Jen Carter Whimsy Awesome as You Are Basic Bkgrnds Borders 2 Birthday Balloon

For today's card I stamped one of the background stamps from the new Basic Backgrounds & Borders 2 in strips on my light gray cardstock one at a time with watermark ink.  Then, I embossed each one (each color separately) in a different color.  I stamped the sentiment on vellum from the new Birthday Balloon set that was showcased yesterday and embossed it in silver.  I really love that banner sentiment!  So that I didn't have to adhere my vellum to the front of my cardbase, I scored it on each side, wrapped it around my card mat & then adhered it to the backside.  A great tip that I learned from my friend Amy!

Jen Carter Clearly Whimsy Love Word Get Well Soon

Last up today is a card that I made with a few more new products!  I stamped the "plus" sign from the Get Well Soon stamp set randomly on my cardstock in different colors of ink.  This was inspired by a patterned paper from Pink Paislee that I really like and wanted to recreate a similar look.  It made a nice frame for the sentiment!

The new Love Word die is gorgeous!  I really like that scripty font!  I die cut it here from magenta glitter paper.  To finish the card off, I added a few clear sequins.

Before I go, there are a few other things that you might want to take notice of!

Both cards are Awesome. Love the silver embossing on the vellum and the CAS approach with the 2nd.

Love your CAS cards, especially the first one with the heat embossed words on vellum - I can never get this technique to work properly for me (the words always come out blurred!!). You did a fab job. Thanks so much for sharing these two card with us.
