~Birthday Cards- Layering It Up~

Good morning my friends,

I actually sat down to make cards yesterday and try my new Spellbinders

dies by Samantha Walker. I also tried my hand at the rubber mat and embossing.

I did not do it right the first time but I am confident I will be able

to master it. I think I might need to grab an actual

Spellbinders machine this year!

For these two cards I used the Scraptastic Club - Boy's Life Feb Kit,

the Pink By Design Sentiment stamps,

and my Samantha Walker Spellbinders Dies.

I tried out my new rubber mats for embossing, but shortly after

I tried it I realized I need to cut first them emboss on the next roll through.

I embossed first not realizing it would not cut.

In the end I am happy with it all, and I have 2 cute cards

for the boys. They always love getting cards from mom.

Off to prep for tomorrow and this weekend, going out with

the girls on Saturday, had Bunco on Tuesday...BUSY fun week!! :)

Happy Thursday my friends...have a beautiful day~

THANK you for stopping by.
