Northern Flurry

Hi All.
Well here again for another early, or if you prefer late night post! I finished making the final card for my friends stamp a stack and wanted to share it.

 

I kept with the use of "blues" and did a base of Pool Party and embossed a layer of vellum with the Northern Flurry EF. I love the classic look you get from using vellum. It packs a lot of punch with minimal effort! I finished it off with some Pool Party Bakers twine and a greeting from Christmas Messages and punched it out with my ornament punch with a little added "bling" from a rhinestone. Just realized you can see my truck in the background! Lol! Sorry about that I was a bit tired when I took the picture last night and wasn't paying close attention!

Thanks for stopping by!

Perfectly Preseved

Hi All,
I wanted to share a card that I will be making at a "Perfectly Preserved" class I will be offering this Fall. I absolutely LOVE this set and can't wait to show all the different things that can be done with this and the coordinating Cannery Framelits!!

I have seen a few variations of the 3-D jar but I thought I would try it with one of the pears under the vellum peeking through the mason jar. Of course I used my Wood Grain embossing folder for texture and loved this particular piece of the Floral District DP for the mason cover. Top it off with some seam binding and a "Bitty Banner" and its perfect to go with a hand made gift! Love the Fall feel! 

I also wanted to share with you that the "Spooktacular" promotion is extended through September 16th!! Join Stampin Up between now and then and receive $125 worth of product for $99 AND this awesome Halloween project valued up to $60!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Monday...on Tuesday...again!

Hi All,
I wanted to share a card I made for Always Playing with Paper's "Merry Monday" where you are challenged to make a Christmas card based on their sketch:

And here is what I came up with:

I was motivated to used my new Holiday Frame Embossing Folder from the new mini. I thought it would be kind of interesting to use it on paper vellum. I would recommend that you don't use any tab when your using the new folders as they can go slightly through your cardstock. I also used the new Wood Grain folder on the base layer of Cherry Cobbler. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for stopping by!

Vellum and gold embossing

Hi All,
Wanted to post one of the cards we made the other night at stamp club. The picture doesn't do the card justice. I gold embossed the leaves from French Foliage onto Early Espresso than took some vellum cardstock and stamped with More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler. Finished it off with Crumb Cake Seam Binding. I actually ended up cutting the vellum down slightly at club as the girls loved the gold showing through slightly more. I cant say enough how beautiful the gold embossing is!! Nice technique all by itself! Hope you have a great night!
