TGIF! And a Card!

Hi there Stamper friends!


Just breezin' in for a quick post before the weekend.  I am working on a bunch of projects right now - Christmas Stamp a Stacks or as we say in Newfoundland - "Get Er Done" classes, Class projects for Christmas and of course my Swap for November SU conference in St. John's

I also have a Simple but Beautiful class on Sunday which promises to be a lovely day with lovely ladies.  Excited for sure!

Today's share is a card I designed for this class.   I had decided to do Birthday, sympathy etc but then I had a look at the calendar and  "Holy Crap on a Cracker!  It's almost November and maybe I should do Christmas cards instead!"  So back to the drawing board for me!

But have yourself a little lookie loo at my card -

 

I used Bermuda Bay and Old Olive ink for my colors, I used "Flower Shop" and "A Work of Art"    and "Bloom with Hope"  I embossed the card, after I stamped the images, with the Honeycomb folder.  Then I stamped the chevron image from "Work of Art" in Old Olive ink and punched it out using Bird Builder Punch.  Stamped the flowers and popped them up with dimensionals and added the leaves. Bamm done!

 

Going to show you some of the elements of my Swap!  Just a tease lol!

 

50 Wreaths stamped and cut out using Wondrous Wreath in Smoky Slate and Lost Lagoon!  My two new fav colors.

 

450 Silver Glitter dots!  I KNOW!  What am I thinking?  Apparently I didn't think this through!

 

50 Noel's run through the Big Shot in Silver foil paper!

 

And 50 Bows from the Wreath set stamped in Lost Lagoon, run through the Big Shot and treated with a Snow Flake and a Rhinestone in the middle.  So handled 200 times to add elements and dimensionals. 

 

AND I'M STILL NOT FINISHED! 

 

Pray for me!  lol

 

Anyway have a great weekend and I'll chat with you soon!

 

 

Big Shot me now hugs!

TGIF and my October Thank you Cards!

Hey there crafty peeps!


Another week has flown by and I have to say I have really enjoyed this one.  I have been creative, social and hard at work all week.

Got an invite out to supper last night and enjoyed a lovely meal with Pam Gale and her family, and then after supper, stamping.  Pam is going with me to regionals in St. John's and we were working on her swap and I was trying to stamp the endless elements of mine.

Hers is so cute.  I already have plans for it.  I will be sending it to my son and his wife.  Haha now I"ve gotten you curious haven't I?  But once again no pics yet for you, of either swap card. 

The other half of this post is my October Thank You cards!  I am trying to get ahead of the thank you cards and found when you have to make a lot of cards, simple is definitely the way to go!  If you placed an order this month one of these beauties will either arrive in your mailbox or in your order!

Have a little look -

 

The stamp sets used were "Work of Art" and "Flowering Flourishes".  I love the white space, it looks so clean.  I used Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Pear Pizzazz to stamp the background and embossed the flourish in Gold Embossing Powder.  Nice and simple but still has a wow factor.

 

Well that's it for this post.  Off to the craft room to design a class for some wee girlies.  We are going to make some Halloween decorations.  I have an idea that just may work! 

 

Lots of hints in these last couple of posts, I am trying to drive you crazy!  Is it working?

 

 

Hinting at Hugs!
