Today’s share is all about our Canadian Remembrance Day 2016! The Paper Players posted a theme challenge of “count your blessings – Thankful” and so my card is certainly showing thanks to our Veterans! My Father was a WW2 Veteran and I have found myself thinking of him a lot these past few weeks as […]

BRINGING BACK LOVELY AS A TREE STAMP SET
Do you remember the Lovely As A Tree stamp set? It’s been in every catalogue that I can remember! We used it to create this lovely in copper at card class last night. We not only heat embossed the copper trees but did a watercolour wash as the background and added those stars with a […]

Good day to you and today’s card shows off another great design in the This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper can be found on page 172 of the big Annual Catalogue.

GOLDEN BELLS RING OUT
Good day and welcome! Today’s card features a pair of golden bells to help ring in Christmas. These bells are one of the images found in the beautiful Christmas Magic stamp set. I stamped and heat embossed them with Gold Stampin’ Emboss powder and then cut them out with our excellent Paper Snips. I also […]
IT’S A PLUM KIND OF BIRTHDAY
It’s all about plum for this birthday card! I kept it simple for the Create with Connie and Mary Colour Challenge in order to highlight the colours of Perfect Plum. Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. And, I had fun with the Flower Fair Framelits that match the Flower Patch stamp set. I didn’t want to […]
