Holiday Mini Catalog Swap

Finally finished my design for the holiday mini swap I'm doing with other demonstrators.  It uses the new ornament punch from the holiday mini catalog (effective Sept 1 - Jan 4 2010).  One of my new favorite punches.  I also used Rich Razzleberry , old olive and certainly celery cardstock along with gold embossing and the scallop edge punch.

Aiden's First Birthday!!

I couldn't resist - I had to show off my cute little bug using his foot to eat his first birthday cake!

Simple Wedding Card

Whisper White cardstock using the Big Shot embosslit folder to create dimension with a simple white ribbon.
Very easy to customize with the wedding colors.  Take out the hearts and add flowers or birds or butterflies etc.

Holiday Mini Catalog Swap

Here are two more designs for the Holiday mini swap I'm doing. I just have to decide which design to go with. The top card is using:
Cardstock - rich razzleberry; old olive and very vanilla - with Designer series paper To The Nines
Stampset - Many Merry Messages; Holiday Blitz
accessories - scallop edge punch; holiday ornament punch; gold embossing glitter; petals-a-plenty embosslits folder; circle fire rhinestone brad.

The only difference with the bottom design is the certainly celery cardstock instead of old olive and I didn't use the Holiday Blitz stampset.

Christmas Stamp-A-Stack Card #2

Here is the 2nd of 5 Christmas designs we will be doing during my Christmas in September events on either the 13th or 18th. There is still room at both workshops. Stamp 20 cards for $20. Drop me a line for more details.

Make & Take Card

Here is one design for the September 23rd in-home workshop.

Cardstock - soft suede; crushed curry; dusty durango; very vanilla

accessories - scallop circle punch. I cut small slits into the circle to form petals and then inked the edges to give it dimension.

stamp set - wings of friendship

Paper: Whisper White; Soft suede; bermuda bay

Ink: Sage Shadow, bermuda bay, bashful blue, versamark

Accessories: Silver eyelets; bermuda bay ribbon; modern label punch for the corners; white embossing powder

Techniques: Embossing, sponging with ink

This was different shades of blue and green – gives it lots of dimension. I also used the white embossing powder to make the design jump off the page. Hard to tell from the picture, but looks great in real life

Embossing / Inks

Stamps: Autumn Days

Paper: dusty durango; Whisper White; DSP flock together

Ink: Sage Shadow, bashful blue, chocolate chip; basic gray; olive green

Accessories: scallop circle punch cut into 4 peices for the corners.

Techniques: Masking, sponging with ink

This used a masking technique. I used a circle punch and punched a circle out of scrap paper and then used it to mask the area I wanted the sunset. Then I simply stamped around the circle removed it and I had a perfect sun.
