I’m ending the week with this colourful geometric birthday card. One more to have on hand for the family birthdays this month. To get the geometric look, I played around with the Star-Crossed Embossing folder(156567) to get this background and am quite happy with the result. It meant cutting the cardstock to just the right […]

SNOWFLAKES AND SPARKLE
Well, it’s Friday already and we have snow! Not unusual for us this time of the year, lol but that’s what inspired today’s card. I used an oldie but a goodie – Snowflake Wishes(158267) and lots of silver emboss powder. When the sun shines on the snow gets a silvery sheen so it just seemed […]
WISHING YOU MAGICAL MOMENTS
I think that Christmas is a magical time and that is the wish sent on today’s snowy card! I started out with the Snow Wonder stamp set( 153344) and gave those trees a shot of White Emboss Powder to start and then added a shot of Shimmery Crystal Effects(150892) to top up the lighter green […]
SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS
We will definitely have snow for Christmas! The challenge is however, will it be warm enough to build a snowman? Look at that handsome snowman! Basic Grey was used to stamp the image and then an assortment of Stampin’ Write Markers to add colour. I wanted to show just the top part of this guy […]
PRIZED PEONY
Today I had a chance to play with the “new to me” Prized Peony stamp set(152504). I love peonies and am seriously considering planting a bush next spring. This peony was created by Heat Embossing the image with White Emboss powder and then adding the colour with a Blending Brush(Emboss Resist Technique). The matching Peony Dies(152701) […]
NOEL
Time is moving along quickly and I’m still stocking up with “Noel” cards for the Christmas season. Today’s features two lovely pine cone patterns from the Painted Christmas Designer paper(156292)! I had dun with the layers and went “all in” by adding 3 strips of the Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon(156323). This ribbon is going […]
SHINE PUMPKIN, SHINE
Hello on this sunny Friday. I’ve stepped away from Christmas and back into autumn to show off some shiny pumpkins! And all in a row they are sitting on a Slimline card! After stamping the pumpkin images in Pumpkin Pie(no pun intended, lol) I stamped them again with Versamark and heat embossed them with Clear […]
FOR A GRAND KID
OK, it’s Friday and it’s a bright one! I went with red and blue for today’s card for a terrific grandkid! All of the sentiments in the A Grand Kid(152500) stamp set are terrific and any one of them applies to my grandchildren! This layout from Freshly Made Sketches was the starting point and what […]
