Sweet Baby Elephant

Look as this adorable baby card! I can almost hear the little trumpet of his trunk.

See the blue rhinestone? Use a Sharpie™ marker to color the rhinestone before attaching it to the card. These markers can create instant colored rhinestones. And soon we'll be carrying a new line of markers called Blendabilities!!! (More information to come.) These will do the same trick! I can't wait for these to be made available.

See the fun card closure?!

I used the Pop 'N' Cuts Card Base die which as you can see is fabulous just on its own for making cards that close shut.

But you can also get these other two accessory parts to use with it to create pop-up cards.

On a side note, I have a couple exciting new products to announce.
(As if we didn't have enough cool stuff! Right?!)…

Here's a fabulous new card kit that comes with everything you needs (except scissors).

This is what comes in the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit.

Card stock for 20 cards
Clear stamp block and Stampin' Dimensionals
Twine and clips
Basic Gray Stampin' Spot (mini stamp pad)
Envelopes
3-piece stamp set

They're thoughtful, they're beautiful, they're handmade, and they take just minutes. Here's what they look like assembled.

Another new product that many of you will be excited about is the Textured Boutique Embossing Machine.

Yippee!!

For $29.95… the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. It comes with 1 pair of Standard Embossing Pads and 1 Mylar Shim.
