Inspired by Jill

So, my good friend (and stamping enabler) Jill sent us a really cool Christmas card last year! She used a Z Fold, but the center with the image on it also folds out so you have a small place to write (or stamp!) a little sentiment.

Stamps: SU Always & Friendship Blooms

Ink: SU Close to Cocoa & Pretty in Pink, markers in Pretty in Pink & Mellow Moss

Paper: SU Berry Bliss, Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink

Ink: SU Tempting Turquoise

Accessories: Paper Crafts pink flower rhinestones, SU Dazzling Diamonds

Technique: Dryer Sheet, Cuttlebug Dry Embossed

I ran the striped paper through the Cuttlebug to get some dimension. I used the Distressed Stripes folder as to not go overboard with differing designs.

This card also used the dryer sheet technique I read about in the Sept 2008 issue of Scrap & Stamp Arts. It is so easy to do! You take your image, put it face down (image side) on a Zyron machine, roll it out, and place a used dryer sheet on the sticky part. Then, pour some dazzling diamonds on top for a little bling! Presto! It looks cool and smells pretty! :)

And, last but certainly not least, I used my Score-Pal for these cards. I love this tool! It is one of my favorites for sure! And, by the way, Jill is the one who inspired me to buy it!
