Every Blessing

Have you started thinking about Christmas yet?
How many Christmas cards do you send out?
Everyone would love to receive a hand-made Christmas card this year,
so let's get started now to ease the stress.
Many of us like to send some religious cards for Christmas — after all, that's what the season is all about.  This card features the Every Blessing stamp set.
Every BlessingThe card base is Night of Navy with a layer of Whisper White.
I stamped the Bible verse at the bottom of the card with Night of Navy ink.
I added a piece of Night of Navy 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon and a piece of
1/4" Silver Ribbon across the center of the card.
I stamped the shepherds and sheep image with VersaMark ink and
used Silver Embossing Powder to heat emboss it.
I used the Deco Labels Framelits to cut out the stamped image.
I added a circle of Silver Foil cardstock behind the Deco Label and
"popped it up" with dimensionals.  Last I added a star that was punched from the
Silver Foil cartdstock and also "popped up" with a dimensional.
How many of these cards are you going to make!!!

Vintage Leaves

Summer's not over yet — in fact it's very hot here in Illinois right now.
But it is time to start thinking about fall cards.
My inspiration for this card came from my son-in-law Scott.
He sent me a text on Sunday showing me a card that he stamped with my
daughter, Katie Campbell, who is also a demonstrator.
I tweaked his card for my class by adding a little more color and I used
the Vintage Leaves stamp set.
Fall ThanksThe card base is Blackberry Bliss. 
I added a layer of Delightful Dijon and Very Vanilla.
I cut an oval opening in a "scrap" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the
Oval Collection Framelits.  I sponged Delightful Dijon, Tangelo Twist and
Blackberry Bliss ink inside the open.  I mounted four of the Vintage Leaves
on one large block.  I remove the Vanilla mask and stamped the leaves
with Early Espresso ink over the oval.
I used one of the new Expressions Natural Elements (thin wooden words).
I sponged Early Espresso ink on the wooden Thanks and adhered it to the
card with glue.  Are you ready for fall weather now — I know I am.

Timeless Elegance

The Timeless Elegance designer paper is so gorgeous.
For this card we used the Blushing Bride marker to color in the flowers that are
printed on the designer paper. 
Timeless EleganceThe base of the card is Blushing Bride — 4 1/4" x 9 3/4" — scored at 5 1/2"
I used the Scoring Tool to add lines to the right side of the card.
I scored it a 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" and 7/8".
"You're in My Thoughts" is from And Many More stamp set.
I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl to the banner and attached it with dimensionals.
The ladies at class loved this one and definitely needed some of the
Timeless Elegance designer paper.
