Three at a Time

I usually just make one card at a time because as I'm creating it I'm heavily into the "design" process and it just doesn't occur to me to create more than one at the same time.  I make a huge mess just making ONE 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inch card....I can't image what my desk would look like if I were to make more than one!

But I went against my rule on this one.  I used this very cute Penny Black set called ...wishes and instead of just embossing one of the circles at a time I did several.   Here's the set:
Here is my card:
 I simply embossed the little circle images with some Adirondack Embossing Powders, punched them out with a circle punch and then topped them onto a scalloped circle.  Slapped those babies on some black cardstock with some foam tape, embossed a sentiment and taaaaa daaaaa....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....
 .....FINISHED CARD....er.....THREE!
These will work great for my Operation Write Home contribution!

I'm entering this in the following challenges:
 Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 228 Clean and Simple
DLART: Happy Birthday - Linky Party - Anything Goes 
A Blog Named Hero Challenge #9 Freestyle

Happy Crafting!

  1. Like the heat embossing & scallop edging. There's a challenge for scallops at Paper Pretties Mon PPMC51 Use Scallops and an Anything Goes challenge at Craft Your Passion Ch122 that you won at last time.
