Well, I can't believe that I went all the way through February without posting at all. To be sort of fair to myself, I was away visiting family in B.C. for a little over 2 weeks. But where the rest of the month went I have no idea.
The card that I'm sharing with you today is one I did a "make & take" at a local store here in Calgary called Scrapbookers Paradise. Every Thursday the have what the call "Toonie Thursday". It is a drop in demo between 11 and 4 and you make a card in less than 1/2 hr for $2. It is something that I've been meaning to do for awhile and so made a special effort to get there today. This card was made Tim Holtz embossing folder and die cuts. The one thing I did learn about his embossing folders is that they emboss very deeply on CS. This card was made with Bazzill which is a good weight. However, the 'postcard' embossing folder was actually cutting through the CS when going through their CB until I suggested that we only use one B plate and a couple of shims. We still got a deep embossing, but no holes to be repaired. I know that Tim Holtz does a lot of embossing a other media that is much thicker so I that is why his embossing folders are designed that way.
I did enjoy trying out these supplies and created a card that I will use for someone I know who needs a card to let them know that they are being thought of.
I have stamped some images since I got back and have some of the coloured. Now I must spend sometime getting a few cards put together. Hopefully, that will happen this week-end!
Thanks for dropping by,
Sandy
I do not have the actual details for what I used to make this card. I know that it is a wonderful tulip stamp that I got from M-J's. It was double stamped to achieve the images. I'm sending this card to a friend who is moving this week. I always try to mail a card to arrive when someone is just moved in. So often all the mail you receive just after a move is all the redirected important stuff and I feel that it is nice just to get something with good wishes at this time. 
I went up to M-J's this morning after watching the video and knew that I wanted to create a card to fit this challenge. With her help to use one of her cup cake punches, some patterned CS, swiss dots embossing folder, a little glitter and square nesties this is the result. I liked it so much I made a second one that is a mirror image of this one. I have trouble making two cards exactly the same. Actually, I am very happy with the result and I may just have to get up the courage to post it on the challenge site for others to see.
These last 3 cards I think are actually made just using ideas that I came up with myself. I truly did have fun this year creating my cards. They were made with love for who they were going to be given too.
