October group card #1

I really love this set.  I couldn't get a good pic of it, so the colors don't look quite like they should.  I used perfect plum and elegant eggplant.  Looks much lighter in the photo.  The image is embossed with clear embossing powder over elegant eggplant craft ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thoughts & Prayers Get Well

This week seemed to go on forever. I was very tired by the end of the day yesterday.  I hope next week doesn't seem so long.  But I do have Wednesday off for Parent/Teacher conferences and having a day off in the middle of the week usually means a strange, long week.

My neighbor needed a couple of get well cards and this is the first one I came up with. I used some retired dsp and a baja breeze corduroy button on it and double mounted my image panel.  Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with some more projects.

Thanks for looking!

Brick Wall Technique

I watched a video on the brick wall technique a couple days ago. I wanted to give credit, but can't for the life of me remember who did the video.  It was a very well done video and I got around to trying it this afternoon. I used the same stamp and colors on the wall part.  Don't remember what the rest of her card was like, so hope mine is different. My husband watched me for a little while and said it looked like too much work to him. Have to agree, it will not be something I will do all that often, but I really like the results even if my bricks started going a little crooked about halfway through. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Edited:  I found it!  The video is by Donna from Butternut Sage Designs. Thanks, Donna, for the wonderful video tutorial.

PPA61 Come to Bethlehem

This simple card was created for the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge.  I love this stamp and will probably make a lot of Christmas Cards with it.  

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Come back soon!

Witch Way is the Candy?

I think Fangtastic is a really cute little stamp set.  I am not sure how I feel about this card, yet.  Maybe it will grow on me.  I think it needs a little brightening up.  I did put some dazzling diamonds on the stars on the little witch's dress (see close-up below).

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Merry Crittermas!

This the last of our three cards for this month.   I used the Merry Crittermas stamp set, the Northern Flurry embossing folder, and the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric-all from the new holiday mini. The fabric was torn in strips to use for ribbon.  Rhinestones from the IBC were added in the corners of the image and in the middle of the embossed snowflake.

Thanks for looking!

Dark & Dreary Halloween
