Stationery Sets made by me!

So I have been going absolutely wild with my Silhouette and here are some of the things that I have been putting together. I recently discovered an obsession with making stationery and can't stop. I keep joking that someone needs to take the Silhouette away from me, but I might slap a person if they tried!
I just love this set I made with this cute "atom" card.



A pretty get well card/set:




I have been drooling over stationery sets with petal envelopes. Now I can make my own!



These cards remind me of tuxedos, they would be great if they were personalized for a wedding!



This combo of purple flower print liners and craft paper is so pretty to me.



This adorable set has note cards that are really nests with a matching egg:



This creamy ivory paper looks so pretty against the scallop lining.



You might remember these cards from my previous post, here they are all finished.



A black and white set with pearlescent lattice cards:


And finally, a black and white set with different die cut tags:

Someone help me, I'm addicted to my Silhouette! If you are interested in buying any of these or even a custom order, visit my Etsy store!

Personalized stamp & embossing powder fun!

My personalized rubber stamps have finally arrived! I immediately started testing them along with some clear embossing powder that I've been drooling over for a while.




I started with my petal envelope template and cut out one out. I chose black to show how beautiful the embossing powder looks against dark paper.



Using an embossing pad, stamp the pattern you like and top with the powder.

Tap off excess and hit with heating gun...

... and done. It's easy to add more too, this is just the tip of the iceberg.



Went crazy and here are some more! After I press them I will make matching envelopes. My head is swirling with possibilities.

"Last minute" custom letterpress card

This weekend was marked by the wedding of a couple friends of mine, Thomas and Lili. I decided to use this as an opportunity to experiment more with my etching press.
This is the pressed result:


I had these chipboard sticker letters laying around and stuck them on some wax paper so I could easily reposition them without them losing their stick.


Then I taped the whole thing to the bed of my press and got out a card I had already been experimenting with earlier.


Here is the pressed card. I had already made the white designs with embossing powder, an amazing thing I just discovered. It's pretty much the coolest. So when you think about it, this card is double embossed.


Adding final touches with my corner trimmer:


Adding to the envelope:


It's really cool to think of the amazing custom ideas someone could come up with last minute, and with such a rare medium like an embossed card. I love this little press!
