Singin' the Blues

 This is the other card that we made at my workshop. This card was so much fun to create and I got a lot of WOW's with the heat embossing. The words are embossing with silver embossing powder. I also had a lady book a workshop so she could earn the Big Shot at half price! She loved the dry embossing that you can create with the embossing folders.

 Stamps: The Sounding Joy

Ink: Bashful Blue, VersaMark

Cardstock: Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Whisper White

Accessories: Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, 

Bashful Blue satin ribbon, silver embossing powder

I have some dates available for December if you would like to make this card with your friends and family! Email or call and we will get your workshop on the calendar!

Happy Stampin'!

More Sounding Joy

Stampin' Up!'s Holiday mini went live yesterday! I was in a swap using the new stamps from this mini. For one of my swaps, I chose The Sounding Joy. This is the card that I created for one of my swaps. I stamped the star on glossy cardstock with VersaMark ink and then sponged the Night of Navy, Perfect Plum and Old Olive inks over it. Then I stamped the "Let Earth Receive Her King" and heat embossed it with the new pewter embossing powder. The right side of this card is embossed with the new embossing folder for the Big Shot, Snow Burst.

Blog Hop: The Sounding Joy!

Welcome to Stampin' Addicts Holiday Mini Blog Hop!! There are 19 fabulous stops along this hop! We will be up through Sunday so take your time and see all the new fantastic products Stampin' Up! will be releasing on September 1!

You may have just come from Cindy's Blog: Heart's Delight Cards where she featured Pines & Poinsettias. I just LOVE all her projects. My favorite it the second card with the pretty snowflake on it! If you are starting here, have no worries! The blogs are all linked together so you can get around them all! You can click HERE to see a list of all the blogs or if you get lost along the way.

I worked with the stamp set called The Sounding Joy. It's a beautiful script set based on the Christmas carol Joy to the World. My first project is kind of out of the box. I used the word Joy from the set to make a baby card! Babies really are a joy and it seemed appropriate to make this card. You can turned this into a boy or neutral or even a wedding or retirement card with a few changes!
