Shopping from my Stash for Two Cards

Here's my card for the OWH Stars and Stamps midweek throwdown anniversary challenge to make an anniversary or love card. I punched a black piece of cardstock with an EK graceful heart edger, then added some negative pieces cut from a SB contemporary hearts die. I hooked them together to make a border of hearts in turquoise and white. The embossing was done with a Sizzix Curlique & Hearts embossing folder, and the sentiment was done with SNSS Christmas tags set.

The Shopping our Stash #72 challenge this week is tic-tac-toe. Click the link and use their grid to chose 3 items to add to your card. I chose the top line of "brad, kraft, and embossing."

I made a masculine birthday card using this great image from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Visual Artistry set. I stamped the truck with Versafine onyx black, and embossed it with clear detail ep, then sponged with antique linen and edged with a fine black marker before die cutting with a SB labels 18. I added some washi tape from Recollections randomly on the background which was embossed with a SB kickin rubber M-bossabilities folder. I lightly sponged the raised parts of the background with memento london fog ink. The sentiment was embossed and sponged like the image using a SNSS birthday sentiment. I die cut it using a SB grommet tag and added a couple gold brads. I decided to add some gold brads to the truck tires just to balance things out. This will make a great card for an old timer who loves those antique trucks, like someone's grandfather :)

That's it for me today, and it was great to have you spend a few minutes of your day with me :)
