Joyful Christmas In Copper!

This is my fourth card for card class this week. 

 Actually today is my first group coming to stamp Christmas cards!

I used the copper emboss powder with the Wonderful Year set.

  Love the words and fonts!

I also used the copper foil paper and a little green plaid DSP.

The bow is cut for the Pretty Pines thinlits dies and a pearl was added, of course!

Love the look of this Holly emboss folder with the vanilla card stock.

Hope you enjoy your week and thanks for stopping by!

FMS253 Thoughts For You Scarecrow!

I just had to have the scarecrow from the Cookie-Cutter Halloween set.
This meant I had to buy the whole set.
I do not make Halloween cards because I do not celebrate that holiday.
However, I love fall, collect pumpkins
 and also love my scarecrows in the house and outside!
I watercolored him with a few fall shades and then I thought I should
throw in some cooper and heat emboss with it as well.
I used a sentiment from Best Birds.
I stamped the background with the netting stamp from Ghoulish Grunge
in Tip Top Taupe!
I hope you enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PPA317 Leaves, Leaves, Leaves!

I first thought of leaves when I saw these colors.  Do not know why because

they are not your usual leaf looking color combo!

I stamped the leaf on the different color card stock in that color.

Then I cut out the leaves on the Sahara Sand card front. Attached the leaves 

to the back side and added my sentiment from Acorny Thank You.  

It needed a little more when I remembered I had all those colors in the enamel shapes!

I like how it turned out...but now you play along with the color challenge!

Have a wonderful fall inspired Thursday!

GDP052 Hello Paisleys!

Teneale Williams' designs are amazing!!!
 I love her layout and the balance on her card.
I also love those colors together..Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party!
I choose to focus on those and I wanted to play around with my Paisley dies.
What I designed is just that...playing around!
Not a great card but my mom will like it!  I send her a card every week.
She lives in Georgia and I live in Florida. Been sending her one
every week for over 12 years now and she expects it!
I added a few heart shaped enamels on the corners for fun!
I hope you can play along and case the designer over at
global-design-project.com this week!
Thanks for stopping by!

PP311 Paisley Circles For You!

I started with heat embossing the circles in clear emboss powder
on Whisper White card stock.  I then sponged Dapper Denim
and some Soft Sky over the embossed images.
I love blue and white together.
I layered it up and embossed the sentiment in White emboss powder.
I added a few White Perfect Accents because....well, they were circles of course!
I hope you enjoy your Tuesday and then head over to

Santa's Sleigh & Reindeer, Too!

Happy Labor Day!

Hope you are doing something fun and/or relaxing!

I have more Christmas inspiration for you!

This will be the third card for Christmas card class this month.

New set with matching dies called Santa's Sleigh.

I just had to get the reindeer and the sleigh in the card.  

My daughter had not left for college when I designed this card 

and she is the one who suggested the Smoky Slate 

since it gave the appearance of evening or dusk. 

 The Gently Falling emboss folder just help give the snowy effect!   

The sleigh is cut from gold foil and Real Red card stock. 

The reindeer is stamped in Early Espresso on Soft Suede card stock.

Close up of sleigh. It is two pieces...solid piece in gold and an overlay in red.

I used the die from Swirly Scribbles to cut the "snowy bottom".  

The sentiment is from the same set!

I hope you enjoy this day and thanks for stopping by!

Star Of Wonder!

This is the second card for Christmas card classes this month!

Love this new set called Star of Light.  

Love the images and matching dies 

but the best part is the beautiful words and the script! 

 I stamped with this set in August and did a blue, white, gold card.

  It looked lovely but for class I just had to do Purple!

I love Elegant Eggplant and it looks like Christmas to me

 esp. when you pair it with silver (or gold).

My Christmas tree is decorated in purple and silver!

I really wanted both of these phrases to be on the front of the card so

this layout worked really well.

I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend

and thanks for stopping by!
