My Spin on the Pin {8.03.12}

I recently bought the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!, and have been looking for the perfect project to use it on.  THIS CARD gave me the inspiration I needed.

Here's My Spin on the Pin...

I had to try it on a white card too...

Love, love, LOVE the chevron!!  Now that I've gotten my feet wet {so to speak} using the embossing folder, I can't wait to try making more cards with it!

I also decided to make a few cards using the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I think I'll have to try making this card with other embossing folders, just to see how it changes the look of the card. 

Have a great weekend, and Happy Pinning!

My Spin on the Pin {7.27.12}

I hope you don't grow tired of seeing me put my spin on cards all of the time, but I just can't seem to help myself!!  I absolutely {love} making cards, and there are so many great ideas on Pinterest, that I just have to pin them all!! 

Today's card inspiration came from THIS PIN. 

Here's My Spin on the Pin...

And just because I love this card so much, I made a second one with completely different colors.

Have a great weekend, and happy Pinning!!
