Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 1, 2009, Leave a Comment »

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I will be designing cards using the Ribbon of Hope single stamp found on page 208 in the Idea Book & Catalog (115552 $7.95). Here is one of the cards we’ll be making in my October Forget-Me-Not Class on Oct 10th & 11th. The lovely swirl background is actually a piece of our Bride Specialty Paper (115669 $13.95) that I’ve burnished with ink and a sponge. What’s cool is the swirl in the paper is foiled, so it resists the Melon Mambo ink! Imagine all the different colors you could burnish this paper with! You get 5 sheets of swirl paper and 5 sheets of striped foil paper. The foil gives the paper shine, pattern and texture. Check out the other colors as well… black (Groom) and vanilla (Bridesmaid). If you’d like to order the Ribbon of Hope stamp or the Bride specialty paper, click on the online ordering icon below.

Autumn Splendor Scrap Spread

September 30, 2009, Leave a Comment »

I have to say, the new AUTUMN SPLENDOR stamp set in the Holiday Mini Catalog (116503 $20.95) is especially beautiful and unlike any leaf set we’ve ever produced. The detail is rich and the leaves are "lively"…by that I mean that when they are stamped, the curve of the images look like the leaves are moving…they’re really cool.

So along with this set, I used the coordinating Designer Series Paper, AUTUMN MEADOWS, (Holiday Mini, 116769 $9.95) to make a 12 x 12 two-page spread, perfect for Fall Color pix or that perfect family get-together at Thanksgiving. Check it out!

If you’re interested in the set and the paper, you can order it online with me. Just click on the ordering icon below!

Happy Halloween Card

September 27, 2009, 1 Comment »

Well I have to admit…I love this little Halloween set called Twick or Tweet (pg 10 of the new Holiday Mini Catalog $18.95 #116497). These stacked pumpkins really do "make me smile!" When making this card, I knew I wanted to use the fabulous black & white Night & Day Designer Series Paper ($11.95 #116768 pg. 11 Holiday mini), but what a surprise when I opened the pack to reveal 2 extra dotted window sheets in addition to the 12 sheets of patterned paper. So I just HAD to make a cute little Halloween window card. Add a Pumpkin Pie Corduroy Brad and the new Pumpkin Pie 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain ribbon and the card is rockin’. Check it out! Plus here’s what it looks like on the inside. If you like this set, plus the Night & Day DSP you can order it online by clicking on the Online Order icon below. Or just call me and I’d be happy to order it for you.
