A few more. . .

Here's a few more holiday cards to tempt your creative bug. Come check them out on Saturday at the Holiday Card Buffet!

I love the simple look with Vanilla and Gold. Both of these cards use embossing – if you look closely at the second card, you'll see that the rhinestones are not in the same color we sell in the catalog. . . . want to know how to make them in any color you want? Hint: it involves a marker.

I started on my annual coaster calendars last night . .. . a couple of months done. The dilemma every year is how many to make – Mary at MDK sells them like hot cakes – I hope that 30 will make it!

Blessings!

Here's a convention swap – check out the embossed image and the fancy fan texture I used. Here's a video to guide you in making this card.

Off to the Washington County Fair again today! Make sure you stop by and see me and get your free gift!

A sweet surprise

Looky what I got in the mail yesterday! A sweet card from one of my downline, Julie O. It's one of several I have received after learning of my lay off. The message inside was exactly what I needed – and is exactly why we send handcrafted cards! Thanks Julie!

Julie's creation used the new Fabulous Florets stamp set and the Flower Garden embossing folder. They are so perfect side by side!

I know, I have lots of flower stamp sets. The selling point of this one is that it comes with solid and line art images. Thus you can use it for multiple techniques! Here's a couple of other samples to tickle your fancy;

Each of these uses the new colored embossing powders (yummy!). You'll find them in the summer mini in Tangerine Tango, WIld Wasabi and Melon Mambo. So happy to have these colored embossing powers back!

Off to work on a video that I think you'll love. . . . see you soon friends!

Blessings!

Last Day 15% off Sale!

Pocket Sillhouettes is my second favorite stamp set in the 15% off sale! This set provides great versatility when you think about adding it to more masculine cards or scrapbook pages. I also used it to create some sympathy cards – you always need to have some of them on hand.

This card uses one of my favorite folds but I challenged myself to use colors I don’t normally use. The colors are; Basic Black, Going Grey, Basic Grey and Whisper White. I embossed with white embossing powder a stamp from the pocket sillouette set and added 2 flat backed pearls from the Pretties Kit. The Basic Grey satin ribbon is a perfect accent to top this card off!

Check out this special here. You can call me at home anytime today or simply order online!
