    What a fantastic male card you have created, Denise! I love how you have run the music notes wheel on the angle and your sponging looks great. Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players this week!

    Denise - he will love this card. It is perfect for him. Great colours and sponging. I love the way you stamped the music on an angle on the front. Wonderful touch with the embroidery thread too.

    Hi Denise

    I just saw your comment on my blog so thanks for looking in. It is pretty weird as I today I have been wanting to make a card with keyboard paper. I don't have any so thanks to this fab card I know now where to go. My solution today was to take a photo of my husband'd keyboard and I am going to see if I can adapt that for my card-hopefully will be on the blog soon.
    I am sure your son will love this card

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet hearts and
