yummy Cosmo Cricket CREATIVE GIRL at Paper Issues

i've loved Cosmo Cricket stuff FOR-FLIPPIN'-EVER, and today i am happy to share a card i made using the new Creative Girl line, now available at Paper Issues...  it may be my very fave line of theirs to date, although 2wenty Thr3e is right up there, too.  :)

anywho, i just layered up some of the awesome papers and busted out an embellie from 2wenty Thr3e and they look FABULOUS together...  you need this paper!

so.  the card:

a zoom:

grab this 8x8 pad (i'm a big fan - i've been making bigger cards lately and the 6x6 pads just ain't cuttin' it!):

add some metallic sequins to snazz it up a bit:

 some awesome Cosmo Cricket Tiny Text:

new embossing folders at Crafter's Companion - LOVE THEM!

Die'sire makes AWESOME embossing folders.  seriously.  fun designs, elegant designs, trendy designs, strange and quirky and right up my alley.  i have never loved my Cuttlebug so much as since i became a design team member for Crafter's Companion.  and i'm not exaggerating!

check this one out...  this is a new Embossalicious 6x6 folder - "Cherry-licious"

SO CUTE!  i embossed some glittery cardstock and brushed white ink over the raised parts for definition.  and i love how realistic the cherries look! 

embossed another little piece so i could cut a pair of cherries out for a totally simple card, keeping the focus on the pattern but not wanting to add too many embellishments.  whatcha think?

love it.  gonna get some mileage out of this folder, for sure!  i love the size, too.  wide enough to cover a larger card surface AND fit through my 'bug!  :)

there are a bunch (and i mean a BUNCH, no pun intended) of new Die'sire folders available - CLICK HERE to see them!

i've got another Crafter's Companion project coming tomorrow, so stay tuned!  been working on my colouring skillz, and i think i'm gettin' the hang of it!
