My NBUS item is a very recently purchased stamp, no doubt originally spotted on one of your blogs, and this is the card I made:
- A6 white card blank
- slightly smaller piece of orange card stock as a 'frame'
- piece of white card stock, embossed using a Boofles folder called 'Patchwork' and trimmed to just slightly smaller than the orange layer
- snippet of matt black card stock rubbed over with an anti-static bag before being stamped using a NBUS Stampendous stamp called 'Shared Coffee' and a Versamark embossing pad
- then heat embossed the stamped image using 'Detail White' embossing powder, also made by Stampendous
- used my SU 'Scalloped Tag Topper' punch to create the tag
- threaded a loop of orange grosgrain ribbon with black saddle stitching down the edges through the top of the tag
- stuck the tag in place using thin sticky pads
I really think the chalkboard look suits this particular stamp :)

I simply LOVE this card . . . what a fab stamp & great thinking to turn it into a tag. Xxx
ReplyDeleteI love this card Di. That great stamp is perfect as a chalkboard. Barbxx
ReplyDeletelovely, that would make a perfect card for SD - we always make a point of going out together for coffee a couple of times a week.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I am not sure which bit of kit to choose to follow this challenge. thank you for your visit this week, and I am glad you are having a go with the Groovi. I am totally in love with it as you might have noticed. Barbara is such a charismatic person, very much "what you see is what you get", and is a brilliant person to spend an evening with. She listens to what we as customers as for, and if she can, she gives it to us. I love what you have done with this card and I am off now to try to finish off my stamp sorting so that I can put them away safely, knowing where each one is. xxx Maggie
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment and love the card! Using tags on cards isn't something I've done, so I'll have to fix that. Thanks for the inspiration :)

The sentiment certainly does look great on tbe black with white embossing powder Di, also that patchwork embossing folder in white which makes the black tag really stand out, especially with that gorgeous orange ribbon too. x
ReplyDeleteAnother great card Di, love the white on black it reminds me of school in the good old days with chalk and backboard!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the coffee, looking at your tag! Maybe I should treat myself for one.. fabulous card, Di!
ReplyDeleteLove the monochrome with just a dash of red. I'm not suprised you had to get that stamp, the sentiment is fab. Such a cute background you teamed it with too. Cara x
ReplyDeleteThis is perfectly put together with that patchwork background and that stitched ribbon and that great stamp!

Oh, what a warm and comfy looking tag...and the perfect coffee themed sentiment. Love the chalkboard look and embossed white background that shows off the tag so well!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that embossing folder! It's a new one to me. Love that chalkboard tag too! I really appreciate the clean chalkboard! LOL, I'd rather hear fingernails on the chalkboard than than see chalk dust!
