Poinsetta Punch Card

Stampin' Up's Glitter Paint in Champagne Mist makes all the difference on this adorable little card! It looks so great in real life (the picture doesn't do it justice).

Step Card

This is an adorable little card, suitable for holding a picture (adhere to the pale plum pc of cardstock). This one is just a quick prototype I made up, to see how it would work, so it's not embellished the way I would or stamped or anything. I really love it, it has so much variety potential! Finished size is the standard card size, so it will fit an envelope nicely.

I used Rich Razzelberry, Pale Plum, Certainly Celery and Cottage Rose Designer Paper for this one.

A Child Is Born

This is a gorgeous Christmas card! It was actually time consuming to make, so it really isn't one that could be mass produced and handed out...there was a lot of colouring involved! The inside greeting says, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..." I made a little mistake on the very bottom right side. Oops! It took me too long to redo though, so it will have to do!!

HOW TO:
Paper: Creamy Caramel, Always Artichoke, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
Ink: Basic Black, and about every other colour I own...I did lots of blending of different inks to get the colours I wanted.
Stamp Set: A Child Is Born
Embellishments: Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon
Tools: Paper Cutter, blender pens

Country Morning

Stampin Up carries a new product in the Holiday Mini Catalog, shimmer paint. It's great stuff! I am just beginning to figure out all the neat things you can do with it. On this card, I took a travel sized spray bottle, filled with rubbing alcohol, and put in just a few drops of shimmer paint. Shake, and spray one coat over your paper. It turns any regular paper into a wonderfully shimmery paper. I love it!! The shimmer really doesn't show well in the picture, but in real life, it's really really pretty, yet subtle. And so easy to do!

HOW TO:
Paper: Rich Razzelberry, Pale Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Stampin Pastels, Purely Pomegranate
Stamp Set: Country Morning
Embellishments: Champagne Mist sparkle mixture, adhesive diamond (yellow)
Tools: Blender pen, paper piercing tool & mat, paper cutter

Band-aid card

A cute get well soon card! This is a 3x3 little card, with a fun band aid and cute little puffy, sparkly heart. I punched the heart, and covered it in crystal effects, then coated it in glitter, and then another layer of crystal effects, making it raised and puffy. So adorable, I will be making this one again!!


HOW TO:
Paper: Mellow Moss, Ruby Red, Blush Blossom
Ink: Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa
Stamp Set: Holiday Blitz
Embellishments: Stampin' Dimensionals, Crystal effects, red glitter
Tools: Paper cutter, paper piercing tool & mat, Heart to Heart punch, paper crimper, corner rounder

October's Class

I am trying to determine what you might be interested in doing in October:

Date: Friday, Oct 23rd, 7:30pm

Please comment here with your craft preference!

OPTION 1: A template, how-to class, includes your choice of stamp set to take home. Approx cost $25.

OPTION 2: A make up class where you can make stationary boxes, or catch up on any of the other things we have done in the past that you missed out on and really wanted to learn. Browse my site for things you might have missed.

OPTION 3: A coaster calendar making class. See my website for pictures of the one I made, or ask me to see it in person, it is way too cute for words. This would cost about $20, as I have to purchase a lot of coasters online (not SU product), and each person needs 13 for their calendar, so that is a lot of coasters!! It's a great gift.

OPTION 4: Tell me your idea.
