Christmas ideas

Today is Sept. 28 and Friday will be the first day of October, and October is the start of the last quarter of this year. Are you ready for Christmas?? Well, here is a card I designed to give you ideas. The background is made with a Cuttlebug folder and a light layer of white ink applied to the raised images. Next I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the white strip. Used a Spellbinder Label to cut the background for that beautiful 3-D tree. I alcohol inked the label and then heat embossed with gold detail EP a great background. Added a bow and the card is done.

More ideas will be coming, so stop back to see more inspirations.


Have a great day, thanks for stopping by,see you soon,

Card Patterns Sketch 82

Hi Everyone,

Today's card is based on the card sketch from Card Patterns. The  pumpkin is cut from an AccuCut die that I own and I used paintable wallpaper instead of cardstock. I love the texture on this paper. Next I used inks and Copic markers to color the pumpkin. I then used VersaMark to ink all over the pumpkin and covered the pumpkin with shimmer embossing powder and heat set it.This gives the pumpkin a great glow. This verse is from Ippity stamps.

Well that is it for today, thanks for stopping by, see you soon,

C4C55 (Crazy 4 Challanges)

Hi Stampers

Today's card celebrates the fall season. I love the two stamps that I used for this card. The scarecrow and the fence with the crow. What a great combination. The fence is a stamp from Ippity and the scarecrow is Sparkle N Sprinkle. The papers really compliment the card and show off the colors in the scarecrow. I didn't have red brads so I embossed gold ones with Red Apple embossing powder and now they really look great with the colors on the card. The card design is based on this weeks sketch shown at Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Well that is it for now, thanks for stopping by, see you soon,
