I watched your video on youtube for this and tried to make it. I noticed all the wonderful comments you received and I hate to be the negative one. However, when I tried to follow the video and did exactly what it says which is score at 2 3/4 inches on ALL sides my tray did not turn out right. The paper isn’t actually lined up at 2 3/4 inches when you turn the paper, it’s lined up at the score guide on the envelope punch board which makes a big difference and I ruined the only piece of blue paper I had left in this shade to make a gift for someone! Videos need to be more precise!
I’m very sorry to hear you had some troubles with this design Tammy! I’ve not had anyone contact me regarding the measurements, so I was quite concerned to hear you did have troubles. I have gone back and viewed my video tutorial to make sure of my measurements, and they are correct.
To to make the base:
– Line up the left-hand edge of your paper at the 7cm/2-3/4″ line on the EPB.
– Punch and score, and then continue punching and scoring all around the paper – but you don’t punch and score at the same 7cm/2-3/4″ mark on every edge. You need to use the previous score line as your guide.
– Repeat again for your second score lines, starting at the 9cm/3-1/2″ mark; punching and scoring the whole way around the paper.
Yes, I know the measurements are correct; but the thing I didn’t realize from the video is that you’re supposed to use the previous score line. I guess everyone else knew that.
Apologies Tammy, the Envelope Punch Board can be a bit tricky to master, especially when customers first start using it – I will make a note for future reference to be more clearer with my tutorials :)
I had a hard time with the EPB at first and did just what Tammy did and got so frustrated Watching a video on how to use it really helped. Tammy, I know how you feel! Love this box. Thanks for the idea.

It can be very easy to go wrong with the EPB – I felt like a ninny when I ruined the first few envelopes and boxes I tried to make on it! I have since edited the YouTube video comments to state that you only punch and score on one side, THEN turn and follow the original score line around. Thanks for giving this project a go :)
Can I please order the heart punch.
Also can you please send me a photo of the front cover of the latest catalogue? Unsure if I have it or not.
Thanks
Mel…
Hi Lavonne, I’d be happy to help :)
When you are scoring for the tray base, score at 2-3/4″ on one side, punch, then turn the cardstock, and follow your previous score lines around the paper, punching as you score. Then continue these steps for your second score line, which starts at 3-1/2″. Hope that helps :)
Such beautiful projects Rachael. I love how you have showcased the DSP. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us and for participating in the ESAD Blog Hop
Such gorgeous projects Rachael. The subtle colours are lovely and your attention to detail is perfect. Thanks for being with us for your first blog hop. PS, you have all the talent you believe you have! Never underestimate your amazingness! (spell check tells me that’s not a word – but I’m running with it!).
Really beautiful projects, Rachael. So pretty & elegant – a perfect wedding collection. I just love the Something Borrowed collection too.
Thanks for sharing on the hop. Inky wishes, Di
I {LOVE} Label Love and I’m going to miss it – but do you know I have *never* thought to use it in anything other than the matching punch. It looks fab – thanks for opening a whole new world for me!!! And same goes for the versmark-ing embossing folders. Great projects, thanks!
Hi Rachael,
thank your for this wonderful video and the written tutorial.
I tried to make this matchbox card some days ago and everything was ok :-)
Greetings from Germany,
Sabine
I have made the card but am unsure where/how to place the acetate. Is it glued to the flowers or to the pop up support? It appears to be fast forwarded in the tutorial.
Gorgeous card Rachael! The thing I love the most is the Label Bracket punch with the circle inside – I’d never considered doing that and it looks great! Kelly x
Love this card. Maybe I’m over-thinking it, but how do you get the smaller piece to line up with the bigger image so the mounted piece is centered on the card?
Hi Kim! For the Sheltering Tree card, the base card layer was stamped with the tree, then the overlying piece was stamped as well. To make this process easier, try using a sheet of acetate or vellum in between; so you can stamp the exact portion of the tree that you want :)
Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project color challenge Rachael! I love your clean and simple card and it looks fabulous in this colour combo. So happy to hear that our colour challenge got you out of your crafting lull. Sounds like you have been busy doing great things though. Look forward to seeing you play along with us again.
Rachael, this is so sweet. The elegance of this card works so well with the colors in the challenge and the dimension adds so much. Thanks for sharing with us at Global Design Project.
I totally love this card Rachael. I find it so hard to do CAS and you’ve pulled it off SO well. Just perfect. Thanks so much for playing along with us GDP-ers on our first ever challenge!
Hi Rachael! I love this card, it’s simple but elegant. Sometimes less is more! Thanks so much for playing along to our first Global Design Project. Louise xo
Rachael, what a great way to showcase our stunning Winter wonderland Specialty DSP. Your projects are lovely, especially the shaker card which seems to be all the rage at the moment. So on trend. The accent of the Reindeer paperclip of the gift bag is such a cute addition too. Love it!
Racheal you are killing me!!! hahaha Again, stunning. Simply but TOTALLY stunning. The embossed lines of the image, the richness created with the watercolouring and then the shimmer on the White Shimmer paper! Creating perfection {again}
Rachael! I might never get tired of this flower – it’s gorgeous. AND I love what you’ve done with it. Such a beautiful project – glad to see you playing along with us again this week. Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s sketch challenge at the Global Design Project.
Such beautiful coloring of the flower. The purple, black and silver are a lovely combination over white. Thanks for sharing with us Global Design Project.
What a wonderful effect that shimmery paper and watercoloring has achieved! Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project challenge! We appreciate your support Rachael.
Rachael, I love how you were inspired by the colors and layers of Louise’s card. The end result is lovely. Thanks for joining us this week over at Global Design Project.
Rachael, the Flurry of Wishes set looks amazing in all the neutrals! I wouldn’t have thought to do that, but it has certainly paid off. Loving the glimmer sentiment and pops of sequins too. Thanks for playing at Global Design Project this week ♥
Rachael, this card is so beautiful! I love how you chose the colors and layers. Simple and stunning! Wish I had to the “Merry” thinlit so I could case this. Well done!
LOVE THIS!!! I absolutely adore this card Rachael, so elegant and clean. Thank you so much for CASE-ing me this week and playing along to our Global Design Project challenge. Louise xo
Hi Jeanine! The first card consisted of a base of Very Vanilla cardstock, and the front matt was indeed Watercolor Paper. This was heat embossed using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and the ink was washed over using an Aqua Painter. The splatter was heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, using Gorgeous Grunge :)
So delicate and sweet! I love the white flowers and how you’ve stamped “it’s in the air” over and over in the background. Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Love Theme Challenge at the Global Design Project.
Just gorgeous Rachael! I too love the background sentiment stamping – awesome idea. Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project challenge! Look forward to seeing you play along with us again.
Beautiful. I love the delicate look of that Designer Series Paper cut with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlit. The white flowers and pearls are the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing with Global Design Project.
Gorgeous cards (as always) Rachael. Your colouring is simply stunning. Thanks for the inspiration – I’m yet to find the time to ink up this set! I’ve put the DSP to good use though – it’s so beautiful! Kelly x
Fabulous! I love your take on the original Rachael. The sharp angles are softened beautifully by the flowers. Gotta have those sequins – we all love bling, lol. Thank you so much for playing at Global Design Project with us.
Rachael – this card is AMAZING! I love every detail about it – from the “thanks” stamped over and over in the background to the super-fun layout. Perfect! Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s “Thank You” theme challenge at the Global Design Project.
Love both of your projects! I am glad to have more ideas for this set, which I think is so cute! Love your CAS style and mix of bling. Thanks for sharing!
Wow – great projects Rachael! Thanks for sharing the useful tips – I haven’t tried colouring my glitter tape yet but will try your drying tip when I do!
Wow, Rachael! I love how you’ve created a modern and fresh background with this floral image. Brilliant! Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project color challenge.
I love this Floral Boutique Suite and your display of cards is beautiful. Especially like the technique with the White Craft Ink giving it that chalkboard effect. So pretty!!
Only just read this Rachel.we are all of us good at some thing honey and you are good at at least 2 things . Being your card making and designing and teaching us your students. And cooking the lovely supper cakes for our supper.
I just hope you didnt want the 21/2 ” punch you lent me not the 2″ punch I asked for hahaha.
Hi rachel. I am a beginner in the world of cardmaking but love to get better. So I was wondering when you are all set up again if and when you do classes if you cared for beginners like me? Night or day classes as I also work full time? Also can I order craft supplies from you?
Love your projects. I am a traditional red and green girl normally for Christmas, but I love your Night of Navy. I may have to break out some other colours. Thanks for sharing.
I love your suite of projects using the Lift Me Up Bundle and the Carried Away DSP from the SAB Borchure. Thanks so much for the inspiration and for participating in the blog hop
Wow….only an hour…..must have been power crafting! I love them all but especially the post it note book. Thanks for the tip about the background for your card.
Beautiful! I love the brushstroke behind the balloons, I really need to get some stamp sets with those row of images in them. They really take a card to the next level.
Thankyou Christine! We didn’t sponge around the edges due to the time constraints with a 2hr class, but it would certainly make the succulents ‘pop’ more, with some sponging :) x
So pretty Rachael – love the watercolour wash & card base background on the thank you card. Your attention to detail and beautiful execution results in such perfect cards! Kelly x
Hi Rachel, can you tell me how you are storing your Framelits please. I can see you have them in either a stamp set holder & magnet mat. I would appreciate it if you could explain what you have done – somehow you have a holder where the magnet sheet needs holes etc.
Many thanks
Del
Wow Rachael … so beautiful. We are in awe of your trimming, amazing! There is so much dimension to this card, especially those little flipped up edges. Thanks for playing along at Global Design Studio this week.
Beautiful card! I like the subtle combination of elegance and a little bit of distressing. All the little touches you have added, such as the little spritx of speckles in the background, make this card something really special. Whomever you give it to will be delighted!
Such cute cards. I’m sure any new parent would be pleased to get one of these cvards. Thanks so much for participating in the ESAD Retirement Blog Hop.
Beautiful projects Rachael ! I’m going to miss that bundle I haven’t used it nearly enough and cannot bear to part with it either ! Such super cute sentiments !
I love your projects Rachael. I wasn’t sure about Lemon Lime Twist to start but the more I see it, the more I like it and your projects use it really well. Thanks for joining us on the ESAD Blog Hop
I’m a LLT convert too Rach. And your projects absolutely do it justice for the bright pop of colour it is! Love, love, love it with the black & white. Perfect! Kelly x
Such a gorgeous colour combination Rachael. I love love love both of your projects. The cherry blossoms and splatter of black are just the icing on the cake.
Just stunning projects Rachael – LLT is my favourite NEW InColor so I may be a little biased ;) I love the mix of the new stamp set with Swirly Scribbles – works perfectly.
These are lovely cards Rachael! A soft and very pretty interpretations of Shawns card with your soft colouring technique and embossing. Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project challenge! Look forward to seeing you play along with us again soon. Make sure you pin your project to the official Global Design Team Pinterest Board..
These are gorgeous Rachael. I love how you have used the stamp set in a different way. I am loving the Lemon Lime colour. It is so bright and fresh and happy. Thanks for sharing your projects.
This is gorgeous Rachel! Your ombré background is so beautifully vibrant and I love the way you’ve separated the flower from its leaves to accent separately. It gives such a fabulous feel ing of movement. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
Well this is a stunning vibrant pink creation Rachael! I love how you framed your flower with a few leaves and that little swirl of thread. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
Loving that cute notebook Racheal, lovely happy projects! Well done on not getting ink in the embossed grooves, for the life of me l try, but still l get it in there every time..:0( xx
I think juicy pads are the downfall of these folders Nikki! My ink pads sweat in winter and go very juicy; so I had to work the ink back into the pads with a spoon before stamping ;) xx
Rachael I absolutely love that you made your card and gift for Kelly. Such a beautiful thing to do. Wish I’d thought of that! Your projects are really lovely, so bright, fun and happy! x
Thank you for joining the hop Rach – and making something just for me! I love it!! And have been using it daily. Pink pen – yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always love your work and this is no exception. So proud to have some in my house! Kelly x
This is so pretty and full of the joys of Summer Rachel! Your layers and turned corners make for a fantastic frame and I love the ombré wash over the “happy” and your background details are gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
This is just lovely Rachel! I love how fresh and bright you made the colours. The two toned happy is gorgeous and I love the little peeps of peach and bermuda in the layers too. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
This is so fresh & fun, Rachel. Love how you’ve used the challenge colours & your ombre happy birthday looks fabulous. Glad you could play along at JAI.
Di :)
This is so pretty, Rachael! I love your brick wall background with its subtle inking details and your posy of flowers is so sweet – a gorgeous CAS take on the photo! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
This is absolutely delightful Rachael! I love that petite bouquet and the wonderful variation of shades in it. The depth of colour and texture in your brick wall background is just wonderful too! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
Great card, Rachael! Love the brick background, and your gorgeous bright blooms. Your copper elements are a perfect finishing touch. Thanks for joining the challenge fun at Just Add Ink again this week. x
Love the subtle details on your card, and all the extra effort you’ve taken with the wreath. Beautiful card! Thanks for joining in at CASEing the Catty.
This is gorgeous Rachael! I love how your beautiful rose pops from under the wash of colour and such a beautiful and elegant design. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week :-)
Lovely idea for a card – I have not done the emboss resist technique for ages and it’s becoming quite popular again. Looks great in the white. I like how you have stamped inside the card too. Chantell Just Add Ink
Welcome to JAI Rachael, love the technique you have used to make this card. Love bold colours used in a soft way. Your enamel dots are perfect for this card. Chantell x x
Welcome to Just Add Ink! Your card is spectacular! I wish I could get a watercolour wash looking that perfect. Looking forward to seeing more of your DT work x
This is just gorgeous, Rachael. I can’t believe how neat your faux stitching is. The background is fabulous, so much depth. Thanks for being a part of our team hop!
Gorgeous Rachael! Love the background and you actually manage to make that creepy guy not so creepy! Thanks for hopping with the Paper Adventures team! Kelly x

Welcome to JAI Rqchael – so lovely to have you join us as a Guest Designer! Your card is fabulous – I just love your water coloured background and how the balloons really pop amongst the colour! xx
Beautiful card Rachael. And I just love what you did for the inside too. I’m a shocker for leaving that blank. Oh and can I say how gorgeous your blog is!!
It’s so nice to have you on the JAI team, Chlo xx
Your creation is so gorgeous, Rachael. I love the watercolouring of your puppy, and the colour combo is lovely too. So lovely to be a JAI Guest Designer with you. D xox
Thank you Denita! I still have a long way to go before I’m totally confident with my watercolouring, but I’m pretty happy with how Bella turned out :) x
Your card is so gorgeous, Rachael. That little Bella is too adorable, I love the layout of your card (think I may have to pinch it & try for myself) & the Coffee Break dsp works so well! x
This is so adorable Rachael! Your water colouring is beautifully done and I love how your vellum layer softens the colours in the DSP and your card inside is super cute too! xx
Stunning Card Rachael, I adore the soft look you achieved by adding the vellum over the DSP. Love this layout and your colouring of Bella is just beautiful. The small but significantly stunning details you have added to both the inside of the card and envelope are simply the sweetest! Love your photography skills, your photo’s always look amazing!
Oooooh now that’s a great idea to add dazzling diamonds to the paste – the shimmer must be amazing! This is a fabulous Christmas card.
Love the chalked effect you’ve created, Rachael. x
Oh what a delightful card. It has an understated beauty which would be amazing with the Dazzling Diamond in the embossing paste., WOW. How cleaver of you using the Embossing Buddy for the chalk effect. I love this card. Thank you so much for showing this and giving inspiration. Take care.
Such a beautiful card for Christmas Rachael! Your glittery embossing paste background I am sure is stunning in real life and the contrast with the soft chalked effect of your sentiment is gorgeous!xx
So many lovely details in your card, Rachael! Love the faux stitching, the clever use of the embossing buddy to create a chalky effect and your addition of the dazzling diamonds to the Embossing Paste. Such a beautiful Christmas card!
This is gorgeous Rachael. It looks so glittery in the photos and I know how tough that is so it must be stunning in real life. Gorgeous Christmas card xx
Rachael your card is so pretty! I love the panel of foil & that gorgeous little splash of watercolour behind your little posie of flowers. So. Very. Pretty! xx
This is so feminine and pretty Rachel! I the sparkle of your foil panel and the vibrancy of your water colouring and how all the little textural details you’ve added add interest and depth. xx
Great versatility of this stamp set… I love that Stampin’ Up has so many great products that allow us to step it up…from simply elegant to STUNNING Rachael these are so beautiful <3 Cheers Shaz
Super pretty cards as always Rachael, but I love how you’ve shown the “Christmas” wreath to be so versatile. Totally made me want to take another look at that set, thats for sure, Chlo xx
Absolutely devine creation, Rachael. Love the colours, so very pretty with that DSP. I adore the loops of twine and rhinestone jewels, such lovely and subtle additions. Stunning photo layout as always.
This is just delightful Rachael! I love the shiny gleam of the pink dots down the side and how you complemented all those wonderful pink tones with a burst of fresh green. x
Such a pretty card Rachael! Your balance of the colours is so gorgeous and I love the ribbon details and your flowers are coloured so beautifully too. xx
Love the understated simplicity of your card., Rachael. The strips of ribbon and subtle stamped card base are just lovely. I adore your beautifully coloured flowers and the heat embossed sentiment with the rhinestones are stunning additions.
This card appeals to my inner child. I love it! You are very very clever. I am new to your website but know your ideas are going to encourage me. Well done you!! …and THANK YOU.
This is so elegant Rachael and I love the added texture and colour the embossing gives . Mixed with all your sparkly details this is so perfect for Christmas. xx
I would never have guessed you had a hard time with this one, Rachael. The end result is gorgeous. Love the watercolour wash & the colours you’ve chosen. x
So beautiful Rachael! Your white embossing really pops against your richly coloured background and I love the contrast of the black and silver elements too. xx
Gosh, that background is stunning! Love your watercoloured backgrounds, Rachael. Looks fabulous with the white embossing. Really love the black accents especially the different layered sentiment.
This is such a super cute birthday card Rachael! I love the neutral tones and the pop of colour on the ballon . So clever! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and that 2018 is a fantastic year for you all.xxx
Black, white and pink all over….this is a perfect girly 21st card Rachael!! I love the depth and details you’ve added to your inky background and the Eclipse shows it off so beautifully. xx
Stunning colour choices Racheal, so bright and vibrant! The eclipse effect is very cool and l might just need to give it a go after seeing this…Love it! xx
Such a stunning use of the colours Rachael! So worth the effort of third time around :-) .I love how your beautiful background leads you down to your layered sentiment and oh so pretty leaf layers. Just gorgeous! xx
Fabulous! I haven’t tried this technique yet either but keep meaning to. You’ve done such a great job of creating a special card for a special milestone. Love it. x
So pretty Rachael! Your soft water colour background means the vibrant flowers inside your heart really pop and I love how yo’ve carried one over on top of you banner too! xx
Thanks for these inspirational ideas Rachael! I can’t wait until my own Sitting Pretty bundle arrives! You’ve given me loads of great ideas to CASe! Enjoy the rest of your day and God Bless, Cynthia <
I don’t know which blew my mind more, your gorgeous display samples or your actual presentation. They were both equally amazing, you totally rocked it, Rachael. Such a natural on the stage, no one would ever have guessed you were nervous weeks before the event. You are a rock star and I love everything you do. Thanks for sharing xxx
Wow – what a stunning group of cards Rachael. My computer is playing games and won’t let me open a larger view but they look amazing and sounds like your presentation was a great hit. Well done. Thanks for hopping xx
I love these, Rachel. So clean and pretty. Your presentation was awesome, you did such a great job. These are two sets I wouldn’t have looked at twice, thinking it’s not very versatile, but you sure showed me I was wrong about that! Beautiful.
I had a feeling in my bones that you would use the Birthday Blooms stamp set to showcase for this hop. You have continually blown me away every single time you use it , always creating such amazing cards. Love your water colour washed background and the Rose Red teamed with LLT. Absolutely gorgeous creations as always, Rachael. And yay for the new neighbours, I bet they adored your lovely welcome gifts.
Super gorgeous and super pretty! Loving your gorgeous ‘wreath’ with the swirly scribbles die! The little Artisan Pearls are a beautiful touch! Rochelle xo
Loving your octopus card Rachael. How wonderful it is to be able to make cards and matching notepads and wrapping! Nice idea, thanks for sharing. Mandy x
I love the two tone octopus!! He looks amazing like this, and the colours are just awesome – what a great combination. Beautiful gift, and beautifully packaged!!
The colouring of the vellum is beautiful Rachael. I love that you’ve left some of it white as well. Fabulous take on the Eclipse technique. Stunning card! Rochelle xo
A matchy matchy gift is always special, to give and to recieve!! I cracked open my octopus yesterday, so Im hoping to create something cute like this, too!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Hi Rachael, I clicked on this from Pinterest and I just want to tell you how stunning it is!! Wow! What a delightful succulent project. Thanks for sharing. Louise xo
So gorgeous, Rachael! Your colours are so fresh and pretty together and your tri – stamping technique is such a brilliant way to showcase the lovely flowers. Love it! xx
Just beautiful Rachael! The Highland Heather card base is just so pretty and then mixed with the vellum and the Iridescent Sequins makes for an all round stunning card. Thanks for sharing! Rochelle xo
They are all so beautiful Rachael. The colours are just gorgeous. How do I not have that spectacular ribbon ….. she asks as she heads off to order some!

I’ve not had anyone contact me regarding the measurements, so I was quite concerned to hear you did have troubles. I have gone back and viewed my video tutorial to make sure of my measurements, and they are correct.
To to make the base:
– Line up the left-hand edge of your paper at the 7cm/2-3/4″ line on the EPB.
– Punch and score, and then continue punching and scoring all around the paper – but you don’t punch and score at the same 7cm/2-3/4″ mark on every edge. You need to use the previous score line as your guide.
– Repeat again for your second score lines, starting at the 9cm/3-1/2″ mark; punching and scoring the whole way around the paper.
I hope that is a little clearer :)

February 2, 2015 at 1:29 AM (5 years ago)Yes, I know the measurements are correct; but the thing I didn’t realize from the video is that you’re supposed to use the previous score line. I guess everyone else knew that.

July 10, 2015 at 12:05 PM (4 years ago)It can be very easy to go wrong with the EPB – I felt like a ninny when I ruined the first few envelopes and boxes I tried to make on it!

Rachael
February 5, 2015 at 6:54 PM (5 years ago)Hi Lavonne, I’d be happy to help :)
When you are scoring for the tray base, score at 2-3/4″ on one side, punch, then turn the cardstock, and follow your previous score lines around the paper, punching as you score. Then continue these steps for your second score line, which starts at 3-1/2″. Hope that helps :)

thank your for this wonderful video and the written tutorial.

Greetings from Germany,
Sabine
Rachael

Jan
May 30, 2015 at 3:33 PM (4 years ago)I have made the card but am unsure where/how to place the acetate. Is it glued to the flowers or to the pop up support? It appears to be fast forwarded in the tutorial.
Rachael
May 31, 2015 at 11:25 AM (4 years ago)I used Glue Dots on the acetate strips, both for the back of the flower, and the tray pop-ups :)

kim
August 31, 2015 at 7:34 AM (4 years ago)Love this card. Maybe I’m over-thinking it, but how do you get the smaller piece to line up with the bigger image so the mounted piece is centered on the card?
kim
August 31, 2015 at 8:00 AM (4 years ago)I think I figured it out. Did you stamp both pieces at the same time? Then the little bit of gap will be covered by the espresso paper?
Rachael
September 1, 2015 at 7:19 PM (4 years ago)Hi Kim! For the Sheltering Tree card, the base card layer was stamped with the tree, then the overlying piece was stamped as well. To make this process easier, try using a sheet of acetate or vellum in between; so you can stamp the exact portion of the tree that you want :)
Kylie Bertucci
September 9, 2015 at 7:44 PM (4 years ago)Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project color challenge Rachael!

Rachael
October 23, 2015 at 4:14 PM (4 years ago)Hi Jeanine! The first card consisted of a base of Very Vanilla cardstock, and the front matt was indeed Watercolor Paper. This was heat embossed using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and the ink was washed over using an Aqua Painter. The splatter was heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, using Gorgeous Grunge :)

Many thanks

April 19, 2018 at 10:59 AM (1 year ago)I don’t know which blew my mind more, your gorgeous display samples or your actual presentation. They were both equally amazing, you totally rocked it, Rachael. Such a natural on the stage, no one would ever have guessed you were nervous weeks before the event. You are a rock star and I love everything you do. Thanks for sharing xxx

You have continually blown me away every single time you use it , always creating such amazing cards. Love your water colour washed background and the Rose Red teamed with LLT. Absolutely gorgeous creations as always, Rachael. And yay for the new neighbours, I bet they adored your lovely welcome gifts.
