Hello my Lovelies! I'm so so excited to share with you some fabulous and  thrilling news! Today is the release of three awesome brand new sets, Free Your Imagination , Immortal Love and Beauty is Art from Visible Image . I used the Free Your Imagination set to create a crow card. I stamped the gorgeous bird images and distressed the edges of each selected paper before adhering them down. To add dimension I popped the main images off of the background. I used the beautiful script from the set for my inside inscription and layered with some matching paper. This release is truly a lot of fun. The images are so versatile!!

Today's post is especially for the dudes. :-) I thought that this set from Visible Image Stamps was perfect for a little 'Mr. Handy' Birthday card. The main theme, other than tools, for this card is embossing. I love encouraging my customers to touch and feel the cards! The metal plate rubber stamp that I used for this birthday card is from the Heavy Metal stamp set , however there is a new background stamp, Metal Plate , that is larger than the one offered in the Heavy Metal Stamp set. Its brand new so check it out! ... I had some fabulous grey paper for the metal background! The metal plate is accented with four grommets and popped off the page with dimensionals for depth.  I wanted to incorporate white again on top of the grey, so I stamped out the drill from  Heavy Metal stamp set , covered it in opaque white embossing powder, heated it and popped it off the metal plate with dimensionals after I cut it out.  Visible Image ...
