Shopping Our Stash #69

Emboss It! That is what is required this week over at Shopping Our Stash Blog.  I did both dry and wet embossing.  I really like this challenge and it's good for all of us to use our "stash" instead of always buying "new".   I'm trying very hard to play along on a more regular basis.    Starting with today.
This is a very busy time as I have tons of birthday and get well cards to do for family and friends this month, but I also want to get a head start on my holiday cards, so I have been sticking to the CAS style of cards, which is my all time favorite anyway, but I don't know if others feel the same way.  I can only hope So!  I embossed my sentiment with my trusty SU gold embossing powder and then I ran that through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan embossing folder also by SU.  For some odd reason I didn't like all of the layers with rounded corners so I decided to change it up and make the black layer square.  I ended up liking it better this way.  Well off to continue to play catch up.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a visit.  It's always nice to see you.

  5. Donna, CAS is also my favorite style! This one is so elegant and simple. The embossing is perfect and the gold sentiment bold and beautiful. I like the Shopping Our Stash idea and have started to join some of their challenges as well ;)
