On June 1 and 3, I held an Appreciation Event for members of my Clubs and any hostesses during the past year.  Everyone could make five different cards featuring the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Manhattan Flower Sizzix embossing folder. 

You simply insert cardstock between this embossing folder, put it through the Sizzix Big Shot (other die cut machines will work with this too).  It is an instant WOW when you open up the embossing folder and look at your cardstock.

Project #1:  Used vellum cardstock in the embossing folder and layered it on basic black cardstock and used pretty in pink cardstock.  Used the word window punch and the clips assortment.

Project #2:  Used vellum cardstock in the embossing folder and layered it on baja breeze cardstock (now retired, so use bashful blue cardstock). 

Project #3:  The base of the card is pumpkin pie cardstock.  Used a narrow strip of ruby red cardstock in the embossing folder and layered it on very vanilla cardstock.   Used wide oval punch in ruby red and scallop oval punch with the Oval All stamp set.

Project #4:  The base of the card is old olive cardstock.  Used basic black cardstock in the embossing folder.  Stamped floral image on scrap old olive cardstock, adhered to card and then covered in Crystal Effects.

Project #5:  The base of the card is bravo burgundy cardstock.  Stamped the two floral images in the corners of the ballet blue cardstock and then put it in the embossing folder.  Used Matchbox Greetings stamp set for the words, along with the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches and burgundy grosgrain ribbon.

It was such an enjoyable day for me to be surrounded by my most loyal stamping friends!
