Celebrations Duo Archives - Bluegrass Stamper

I made this card for a swap in February, and we also made it in Stamp Club this month.

It uses the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the coordinating Celebrations Duo TIEF (Textured Impressions Embossing Folder). These come in a set of two (Celebrate and Happy) and they actually “deboss”, which means the words are sunken rather than raised as in most embossing folders.

Although it’s hard to see in the photo, we stamped the Happy and then debossed it for added texture.

Stamps: Happy Celebrations

Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Emerald Envy, Whisper White

Ink: Emerald Envy

Paper: Party Animal DSP

Other: Celebrations Duo TIEF, Crushed Curry Bakers Twine

This is a very quick and easy card, and it would be good for boys or girls. I hope you like it.

Here’s another card from my January CAM class.

Do you ever have a great idea in your head that just won’t translate to paper?

I really struggled with the color combination for this card. I wanted to use Bermuda Bay because I had the twine and sequins. I finally settled on Daffodil Delight and Pool Party, but I think I might try Calypso Coral or Peekaboo Peach instead of the Daffodil Delight next time.

I really like the Celebrations Duo TIEF (embossing folders)! They are different than most of our TIEFs because they actually “deboss” the card. You “deboss” the word first and then stamp over that area, and because it’s lower, the word stays white. Pretty cool!
