KISSaturday w/ Letterpress Plates

No time to kreate, too many errands, today? OMGosh I forgot, in a pinch ... brings us here to another KISSable card. I know I'm not the only one who has been heard mumbling these words ;) So lets Keep It Simple Sweeties!!! Grab a large background stamp, OR a bold patterned DSP OR, as I have here, the NEW Letterpress Plates w/ your Big Shot and let it do the work for you! You can view the Stampin Up video below to see exactly how to use your letterpress plates.

* Inked up the Lots of Love plate with VersaMark and then went over the word 'LOVE' with Craft Real Red Ink TIP: If you don't have an ink spot for these small areas, your Sponge Dauber works great too! Yeah for Daubers - you know I can't be without them!!!! ;)
* Zip it through the Big Shot with Crumb Cake and you have a beautiful inked, debossed image.
* Distressed the edges using, you guessed it, a Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede ink and mounted it onto a Cherry Cobbler cardbase. Viola, 1-2-3! SO KISSable!!!!

I wanted to show you what just a few more minutes and a few more embellishments can do - and still worthy of a KISS card I think

* Got Tea? OK, I will admit this took a little time, but really, just a little... I snipped off my Crochet Trim Ribbon from the spool and in doing so, my elbow almost knocked over my tea cup. Totally meant to be... I took out my soggy tea bag, grabbed a paper towel and began to rub the tea bag on my ribbon for more of that aged look. SO cool!! TIP: No need to saturate your ribbon - rubbing the damp tea bag worked great! Grabbed my blow dryer for seconds and I was ready to place it on my card.

* Scrunch it! Run SNAIL across card front and do some crunchin' and bunchin' for the scrunchie look

* Add a Trinket!These little embellishments are just so cute!! Tied a Linen Thread bow through my Trinket Key and adhered with a Glue Dot

* Ahhhh, how sweet! Tie it all together with 'Key to My Heart' among the cute sentiments from You're a Gem, popped out with the Curly Label punch.

So, 1-2-3-4 ;) Not bad, right?! Hope you enjoyed another KISSaturday card. I love to hear your thoughts, if you'll take a moment to leave me some 'love', its so appreciated!
