In My Studio – April 15
.
Here’s what’s been going on in my studio…
I belong to two card clubs where we get together and make a couple cards or some type of papercraft. One of my card clubs got together this past week and here are the cards we made:
To make this card, we inked the embossing folder. Depending on which side you inked…you got the ink color in the design or in the background.
We were able to get the clear flower impression on this card by using embossing powder.
This Week’s Inspiration
In 2013, I’m doing Inspiration Mondays and Results Thursdays. Every Monday, I’ll post a painting “inspiration†and then on Thursdays, I’ll post how I’m interpreting that inspiration.
Last week’s inspiration was from my friend, Amy…DOG LOVER. Here are the girl and pup that came out of that inspiration…
Thank you for your compliments on my first pup. I enjoyed painting him, so you’ll see more animals in my future work.
This week’s inspiration comes from Kat of Dog Gone Right…WATER.
The cards look lovely! I’d love to see more dogs in upcoming paintings. That one really is very cute.
Yay for more pups. Your cards are beautiful. Whoever is the recipient would feel so special.

Loving the painting.
Cards are fab, but especially like the blue and white one.
Those cards are beautiful!!! I would definitely be buying those If i saw them 🙂
Those cards are gorgeous! I really like them, but I admit I forget all about them when I see that cute little Greyhound!
Oh, how beautiful those cards are – must be one very happy recipient when they open those cards.
Woof! Woof! Lovely cards and how cute painting. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Wow, I really like those cards, I have never tried that. Nice blue color you chose.
Love your beautiful cards Lori!!!
Would you email me please. Fern.reed@gmail.com
I emailed you, Fern.
The cards are beautiful, but I agree, the pup steals the lime light.
Love the picture, definitely one of my favourites. You got the hound just right 🙂
Beautiful cards too, they are so professionally done.

I do love the cards – very professional!
But best of all, I love the little white greyhound in your painting. He has such a sweet face! And the little girl herself reminds me of my best friend when I was at primary school – aged about ten.
Lovely!!! Having just started using a Sizzix Texture Boutique to emboss papers and make cards, I’m wondering about inking the embossing folders…what kind of ink do you use? Does it clean off the folders for re-using? If so, how do you clean them? Love the effect you get!
I used the water-based Stampin’ Up! ink pads. Ink up the brayer, then roll it over the side of the embossing folder you want to use. Clean-up is a breeze…just rinse the folder off under running water. The ink just rinses right off.
Love the embossed cards – how pretty and decorative. especially the blue one – gorgeous!
I’m just discovering the beauty of the embossing myself.
Really should try this inking technique.
Looking at Card #2, what was the embossing folder(s) used? Almost looks like a combination of 2 embossing folders. All the cards are lovely!

It was a combination of two folders, but I don’t remember which ones.
