Hi. I'm Donna and the owner of a business called Luv2Emboss. I've been crafting since the moment I could color with a crayon without eating it first! I have been embossing with Lasting Impressions' Brass Templates for 20 years and I am on their Design Team. I also love to craft with rubber stamps and I sell Lawn Fawn products. I hope the cards and projects I display will perk your interest to try a new craft or play with an old one! Enjoy. :-)

SUMMER CAMP WITH KARIE!

 

Karie's Home Card from LI Summer Camp 2021.

Good morning everyone.  I have some cute cards to show you from Karie.  Let me first say, "this girl can cut better than anyone!"  Wow.  I really like all the beautiful colors Karie picked out for the first card above.  I just might have to pinch this one!  :-)  And here are some more of her ideas:












I think you will agree with me, Karie did a great job with Week 1.  I hope you ordered your Kit and played along.  If not, there is still time to get your Kit or order product from the Kit.

Thanks again Karie for sharing your beautiful cards.  Now let's get ready for "Christmas in July" which begins July 13th!  Until then ... happy embossing.  :-)  Donna

LASTING IMPRESSION'S SUMMER CAMP 2021

Donna's L.I. Summer Camp 2021 "Home" card.

Good morning crafting friends.  Have any of you visited Summer Camp 2021 at Lasting Impressions?  Well the first week of videos ended last week, but the videos are still up on their web site so go visit!  :-)

My crafting friend  Karie and I have had fun putting together our "versions" of the ideas created for this year's Summer Camp.  Here are a couple of my cards created with Kit #1, "Let's Celebrate."


Donna's LI Cut Outs Cactus version and all embossed version.

Here are 3 versions of LI's Cut Outs Typewriter.  The one in the middle is the embossed version:

This next card is LI Cut Outs Pear.  I inked this image to make it pop and I like the results.  I use Glossy Accents a lot on these cards to make the flowers shine and then I curl the petals and/or leaves:

Next might very well be one of my favorite Cut Outs!  This giraffe is so adorable.  Once again I distressed the images using Tim Holtz' Ink and I thought LI was very clever in using the paper clip to hold the banner.  See for yourself!

Donna's LI Cut Outs Giraffe with added sequins.

This next card is a Tri-Fold.  First you see the Giraffe's head and then as you open the card, the complete body is revealed!  Once again, the giraffe is adorable and while LI's idea was a baby card, I made mine as a birthday card.  I used distress inks and I think for those of you making the now very popular Slimline Cards, the full body image would work perfectly.  I'm going to try it.  :-)

Next is my last card from this Kit.  He's an adorable LI Cut Outs Elephant.  There are lots of sentiments you could use with this image and I chose a "just for you" for my little Elephant.  Notice the cute tail ... an inspiration from Karie (LI embroidery floss)!

Donna's LI Cut Outs Elephant.  I love the orange and blue!


Next will be Karie's cards and I can't wait to show you!  She does an amazing job.  Until then ... happy embossing!  :-)  Donna
