Holiday Blitz

This is a card that's cuter in person.  There's lots of fun embossing on it!  I used the Whimsey wheel on the black and embossed in white.  The pumpkins are also embossed.  First I stamped the face stamp in Basic Black ink on Whisper White paper.  Then I inked the pumpkin stamp in Versamark, then carefully just inked up the pumpkin with the Dusty Durango pad, then used the Always Artichoke marker to ink up the stem and leaf.  I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the stamp over the face and then embossed with clear powder. 

Holiday Blitz

I decided I better make a Halloween card since it's in a couple of weeks.  I stamped the cute ghost from Holiday Blitz in black and then punched it out with the large tag punch and dolled it up a bit.  The pattern paper is from the Razzleberry Lemonade pack.  I used the two sizes of star punches and then dimensionals to make them pop our a little.  Love that look!  The colors are Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.  The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Lovely As a Tree

This was my card trade for club Friday night.  I used the same medallion and the clear embossing, but used a little different layout.  The card stock colors I used are Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, Dusty Durango and Chocolate Chip.  I used the Watercolor Crayons to color the acorn and leaf and then punched that out with the 1 3/8" circle punch and layered that onto the 1 3/4" Chocolate Chip circle.  The ribbon is attached with a fun Circle Brad.

Wonderful You

This is the card we made at club last night.  We learned how to make this cute medallion by using our Scallop Punch and a piece of paper cut at 2 3/4" X 2 3/4".  It adds a nice touch!  We also embossed with clear embossing powder on the black card stock.  In person it looks so shiny and elegant.  Thanks for coming girls - it was a fun night!

Happy Everything

I received a card with this same cut star on it (thanks Celeste!) and have wanted to do something similar ever since.  It took me awhile to get around to it, but I finally did it.  I actually had to whip a couple of these cards up pretty fast to add to a stack of cards I was giving as a gift.  As usual I'm always short on 'guy' cards.  This cute star was the perfect way to add a little somethin', somethin' to a card without 'girly' stuff.  At least I hope it looks guyish.  I punched the star out of the front flap of the card and then placed To the Nines designer paper on the inside so it showed through.  Then I punched the small star out of Chocolate Chip card stock and attached it with a brad.  The holes around the star are done with the paper piercing tool.
