CCCBlogHop



Welcome to the FIRST (Yippee!!) Blog Hop from Catherine and Cathy Create!  Of course to celebrate their first hop the gals are giving away blog candy!!  See all the details later in this post.

The theme of this Blog Hop is Back to School!  So when planning my projects the first thing that came to mind was the chalkboard technique that is all the rage right now.  Well, the first set of chalkboard style stamps that I ordered has not arrived yet so I had to improvise.   Here's My Card...
You can't tell from the angle of this picture but the label and the "For You" are popped up with dimensionals.
Stamp Sets: Layered Labels, Close as a Memory (retired)
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Whisper White Craft for stamping and sponging
Tools: Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Apothecary Accents Framelits
Accessories: Basic Jewels



I had such fun playing, I decided to do a second card.  
This one has a removable bookmark - think Teacher gift!


Here's a pic with the bookmark removed


Here's a close-up of the bookmark


Details:
Stamp Sets: Fabulous Florets, Layered Labels, Tiny Tags (retired)
Cardstock: Basic Black, Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White
Ink: Whisper White Craft for stamping and sponging, Crisp Cantaloupe for sponging, VersaMark and Black embossing powder
Tools: Apothecary Accents Framelits, Jewellery Tag Punch (retired)
Accessories: Calypso Coral Bakers Twine, Mini Brads, Hung Up Cute Clips
