Happy Thanksgiving

I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. 
I hope you are spending some time with family and friends.

Fall Flip

This card is called a Gate Card.  It has a fun closure.  The base of the card is Soft Suede.  I added strips of Color Me designer paper.  I stamped the trees from the White Christmas stamp set, added leaves with Cajun Craze, Tangelo Twist and Crushed Curry inks.  I colored the trees and the grass with Blendabilities.  Then I cut that out using the Windows Collection Framelits (which are on Extravaganza Sale List this week).  I cut out the Soft Suede trim piece using two of the Window framelits.  Next add dimensionals to right half of the stamped window and to the left side of the Soft Suede trim piece and adhere both to the closed card.  Don't forget to stamp the house and color in with Blendabilities.  I cut that out with the coordinating framlits and adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

Here's how the card opens up.
Kind of cool, huh.
Enjoy your long weekend.

Holiday Home Village

The Holiday Home stamp set from the Holiday Catalog was definitely a stamp set that I didn't need — WRONG!!!  I started seeing a few samples that were adorable so I ordered it.  I have absolutely fallen in love with this stamp set.  There have been so many things to do with this set.  This was one of my favorite cards from my Stamp of the Month Class this month.  I combined my Big Shot of the Month Class with Stamp of the Month so everyone attending the class received both the Holiday Home stamp set and the coordinationg Homemade Holiday Framelits.

Diorama VillageThe base of this card is Cherry Cobbler.  The next layer is Mossy Meadow.  I used the Deco Label Framelits to cut out the center.  Then I used the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.  I layered this one the Cherry Cobbler card base with a double layer of dimensionals (I put on one dimensional, peeled off the top layer and added another dimensional right on top of the first one).  I stamped the three houses with Memento ink and colored the houses with the Blendabilities (don't forget you can get the whole set of Blendabilities next Monday for only $100).  I cut the houses out with the coordinating framelits (so easy).  The tallest house is adhered flat to the inside of the opening.  The shortest house is adhered with dimensionals inside the opening to the left of the first house.  The last "fancy" house is adhered with dimensionals to the Mossy Meadow layer.

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did.  Send me an email with some of the projects you've made using this stamp set.  I would love to see them.

Festival of Trees Season’s Greetings

We got SNOW yesterday — it truly made for a "yucky" gloomy day.  My bright spot was a stamp class last night.  I'll show you some of those cards later this week.  This card was made earlier in the month at my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Class.

Season's Greetings Lagoon & Silver Glitter
The base of the card is Smoky Slate with a layer of Soft Sky.  I added three strips of All is Calm Washi Tape.  I love the Lost Lagoon Fun Frames Embossing Folder piece with a layer of Silver Glitter Cardstock.  The tree is from the Festival of Trees stamp set — I stamped it with Lost Lagoon stamp pad.

Don't forget to check out the Extraganza Sale — the Fun Frames Embossing Folder is on sale for only $5.00 (regular price is $8.95 — bargain).
