Clean & Simple 2, Day 9

Day nine of class was all about adding texture to cards. Julie Ebersole had a couple of cute cards with glitter. Since I live in a glitter-free zone, I passed on those ideas.  Lisa Spangler had a fun embossing technique I want to try soon. Jennifer McGuire showed us a pleat idea, and I decided to CASE her card. I like this technique.

The blue paper is a light weight card stock, easy to score and fold. I've had it in my stash for ages, and I have no idea what company makes it.


I used the Silhouette to cut the circles and banner.


Hero Arts - black pearls and "Find Joy"
Stampin' Up - patterned paper
Neenah - white card stock
Bazzill - black card stock
Martha Stewart - scoring board

    Great card Dixie! I am immediately envisioning a "tuxedo" version of this for the guys. Very classy look.

    Love this card, Dixie! The pleats are very cool - what a great look! The CAS classes are so great...unfortunately I missed taking it this time. I still have lessons to finish from the first class I took! Lol!

    This is great timing, Dixie! I got a scoring board for Christmas and now I know just what I can do with it. This is lovely; that shade of blue is a nice backdrop to the focal point.
