Cheering for You Blog Hop Day 2!

I have been invited, along with some amazing artists, to celebrate Simon Says Stamp's newest release, Cheering for You, with a blog hop over at the Simon Blog!  This is such a wonderful new release, and I have used one of the sweet new stamp/die sets, Music, to make a couple cards to share with you today!...
I have always loved music...all kinds of music, so this set really spoke to me!  I chose to use the birthday sentiment along with the staff of hearts, so I made the staff of hearts multi colored/rainbow.  I set the staff against a black panel that I had embossed with one of the new embossing folders...kind of reminded me of record albums or even swirls of music.  I popped up the die cut music, as well as the die cut sentiment on the card, and used glossy accents to coat all the hearts.  Here's a closeup...

The second card, I used another stamp and sentiment from the set, as well as  another new embossing folder from the release...
I wanted this single note to really stand out, so I used versamark to stamp it, and black embossed it.  I die cut it, and layered it.  I stamped and colored the hearts of the sentiment, then die cut it.  I love these sentiment dies, and how they cut out the sentiments...makes them really stand out with all the cut outs around the sentiment...and the sentiments have such a cute font...LOVE!!  I used some patterned paper, then embossed it with the Bubble Rings folder.  I framed it with some glossy black cardstock.  I popped up the panel on the card and done!  Here are a couple close ups...
This one shows the glossy hearted musical note...
Okay...I had SO much fun making my cards!!  My fun was above, your fun is below!!

  17. I have to say I was kind of surprised that you said it was patterned paper on the second card with the bubble ring embossing. I honestly thought it was an alcohol background you made yourself! Great job and WOW on the black background card too! Just embossing a black panel for the background is very impactful. I've never done it, but I will now! Thanks for the inspiration.
