I made a couple of friendship cards with a new stamp I got a Hobby Lobby (brand is Stampabilities). I loved the quote and knew it would be a go to for alot of my generic friend cards.I started off with some Autumn Leaves patterned paper my friend Robin gave me--yes, Robin, again! She really hooked me up for my birthday with some fabulous stuff, including tons of Olympics stuff! She is sooo good to me!
Anyway, the cards are pretty self explanatory. I used my nestabilities on both of them, including embossing my sentiment. It makes the card look so crisp I think when you do that. I added buttons to the bottom which really give it that last touch. So cute! On the one card I used my ticket corner punch for a little decorative touch to the corners. I used CTMH cocoa organdy ribbon on both.How's everyone's week going? I am hoping to be sticking to my goal of going to the gym. I want to go every week day and I'm hoping that happens. I want nothing less than 4 times per week. I will be very upset with myself it it doesn't happen! If Michael Phelps can train every single day (including weekends and holidays) for over 5 years then I can force myself to do 45 minutes of cardio a day, right?!?! lol

Beautiful cards, Linzi! LOVE that sentiment too! Thanks for visiting my blog! To answer your question, the Welcome Baby Cuttlebug folder does have a strip where this is no embossing. The "set" comes with a die with baby phrases you can die cut and adhere to the non-embossed space. Since I wanted the whole background embossed, I put the paper in the folder up to the non-embossed strip, put it through the Cuttlebug, then I took the paper out, turned it and lined the other end up and put it through the Cuttlebug again. Hope that made sense!
Hi, Linzi! Great cards and good luck sticking to your gym goal -- I'm rooting for you!!!
These are both gorgeous! Love your colour and paper choices and that stamp is a keeper...just like true friends!
