FMS257 Peace & Joy

I love Sweet Sugarplum but I have not grabbed this color enough!

So I featured it today with some Very Vanilla!

I heat embossed the large medallion from Frosted Medallions and the 

sentiment from Good Greetings.  I used a sponge dauber to add a little 

Sweet Sugarplum ink over the words and almost all the image. 

I really like the way it turned out!

I will be riding out a hurricane here in Orlando,

Florida which might be a wild ride!

Happy Hello Scarecrow!

I started a card where I was stamping leaves and heat embossing them in clear.

Then taking the ink and rubbing over for a cool background

 but it did not turn out the way I had in my head

 so I pulled it off and decided to do a little water coloring instead.

On watercolor paper, I stamped the scarecrow and the crow from 

Cookie-Cutter Halloween and the Jack-O-Lantern with sentiment are from 

the Paper Pumpkin Sept. kit called Something Good To Eat.

It looks black but the sentiment is in Elegant Eggplant. 

Very simple but love that Cajun Craze houndstooth paper from 

Petals & Paisleys DSP!

Added a little natural gold ribbon to finish it off! 

Now head over to palspaperarts.com to play along with the great color challenge

by my friend Rae Harper!

Hope you have a happy day and thanks for stopping by!

Trick Or Treat!

This is another project I designed for the InkBig Academy Stamps 

design team.  I started this project with purple in mind but grabbing my

Wisteria Wonder ink. Everything here on the main image including the fence 

was stamped from the Sweet Home stamp set.  

I did stamp a background using the Ghoulish Grunge spider web. 

The sentiment was a die cut from the matching dies Home Sweet Home.

The door knob is a Crushed Curry enamel shape.

I hope you have a hauntingly good day and thanks for stopping by!

GDP056 A Thank You Wreath

The first thing that popped out to me on Bibi's card was the color!

So I started with Flirty Flamingo card stock and then some a print from 

the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper.

 I stamped the spring wreath on the Whisper White 

so I could water color like in the inspiration card. 

I decided to make it a thank you card since my good friend 

Lucinda gave me some lovely gifts last week.

I wanted to thank her with a special card!

I hope you can play along over at global-design-project.com

A Plum Haunted House!

Hello all!  As you know I do not celebrate Halloween but sometimes I do

design something for that holiday.  I am on a wonderful design team for 

InkBig Academy inkbigacademystamps.com and I was able to design projects using the Home Sweet Home bundle.

There is a stamp set called Sweet Home with many possibilities

 but then if you add the matching dies, you may be go into

design overload!

This is the first of 6 projects. 

 These house are designed to hold canny or another treat

 but I closed mine up to use as decoration.

 I started with the house base die cutting Perfect Plum card stock

 then embossing it with the Brick Wall emboss folder.

I added bats in Basic Black, a ghost in Pumpkin Pie and 

even stamped a Stazon Black on vellum for the spider web.

The door knob is a enamel shape in Pumpkin Pie. 

Lots of possibilities! 

I hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Promise Of Christmas

I had a hard time deciding what colors to use.  

I finally decided on Night of Navy with gold emboss.

I heat emboss with gold on a Whisper White 

circle and then popped it up on the center of my O in Joy!

I stamped the other sentiment in Tip Top Taupe which I used used to frame the 

images. I did add some gold foil behind.

I like the clean and crisp look of this card!

This is the 3rd card for my October Christmas card classes coming up.

I hope you have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Sugarplum Flurries

This is my second card for October Christmas card classes!

I knew when I saw the sequins and such in these colors in the holiday

catalog, I was going to pair them together with this set

for a wonderful flurry card!

I stamped the Gorgeous Grunge in Soft Sky

 on the background to look like water color.

I stamped the big snowflake direct to background and then stamped

the other smaller snowflakes and punched them out. 

Using a dimensionals, popped them up and added the flurry sentiment all from the 

Flurry of Wishes stamp set.

I really like these soft colors and the addition of the sequins for some bling.

I hope you have a blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by!
