Pretty much my favourite thing to do with any type of fabric embellishment is to fray it. Canvas & burlap fray so nicely and evenly. I love the feel of cork - and I found running it through the Cuttlebug with the die (no shims) two or three times ensures a very clean cut. I was very impressed that none of the stars tore while removing them!

LOVE these! Something about natural fibers makes me all gooey inside...in a "I love this card" kinda way. You frayer you ;)
ReplyDeletesuper LOVE all of these...wow, that canvas stamps nicely....looks fab.

ReplyDeleteThe canvas gives a very natural look on this fun coffee cups, Jessi! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd these are also amazing! Wauw, Jessi, you've been going strong!! The textures in these cards are so pretty. My fave is the first one, the eyes are so funny!!!

Ooooh! Love all the texture on these cards. Three beauties. :) ann
ReplyDelete1. Love the googly eyes on the coffees! 2. Great combo of texture (cork) and delicate colour (the patterned paper). 3. Terrific CAS card!
ReplyDeleteall of these are amazing but my favorite is the first one.. so so cute..
ReplyDeleteAll of these are so wonderful! That first one just cracked me up! I'm hoping I can get some Moxie Fab cards done this week. I am getting closer to having an inventory of photoblocks ready for my Etsy shop finally. And 4 days and counting til family starts invading for U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. I'm not ready, as usual.
ReplyDeleteYou are giving me lots of inspiration. Keep it coming. Plus, how many design teams are you on exactly?
Need to venti....why yes I do! That's my card right there! :-)))))
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing girl! Sigh...to see my craft room again! Beautiful textures and you have showcased them so well!
total fabness! LOVE those cork stars!
ReplyDeleteYep, you totally nailed this challenge. The PS is so freakin' adorable! The texture of the cork and the burlap is fabulous. Cool idea to fray it...it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThose googly eyed coffee cups are pretty much how I look and feel after a cup of coffee! (After not drinking it for my whole life I was recently introduced to Snickers lattes - between the sugar and the caffeine it's one hell of a buzz!)
ReplyDeleteThose cork stars are so cool! Haven't tried cork in the old Cuttlebug yet. Had some trouble with the wood laminate so not sure how the cork will do...
I like the even fraying too. Makes me feel adventurous while still being anal! :)
