The vote is in. . . this month’s Club Projects were a hit!  Check this out! 

JOY card - I highly recommend the ornament punch and the coordinating stamp set and rub ons!  If you need ideas, come and check out my display boards – I garantee you’ll love what you see!  Colors on this card are; Rich Razzelberry and Old Olive.  The background usesthe finial press embossing folder.  The "J" and "Y" are from the Serif Essential Sizzix Alphabet, ornament punch, Sincere Salutations greeting punched out with large oval punch, gold cord (limited time in Holiday Mini – strongly recommend it!), jumbo eyelet and narrow grosgrain ribbon.  What a fun holiday card!

Witch Hat - this fun creation came from a great friend I met at Founders Circle.  It is actually a treat box with a brim attached – your special trick or treaters will love it!  Notice the great striped grosgrain ribbon – It frays so well – and adds tons of character to this project!  You’ll be surprised at how quickly this project goes together!  Love it!

Top Note – Lovely as a tree - if you saw this card in person, you would just say – WOW!  The trees are "frosted" with shimmer paint!  I love the shimmer paint in the Holiday Mini Catalog (get it while it lasts!).  The shimmer paint comes in champagne, white and platinum.  For this project, I used a window sheet with the negative image of the top note die.  Sponged the background.  Mixed the Frost White shimmer paint with night of navy reinker and sponge daubered it on the tree stamp.  The result is – Fantastic!!!!  Stop by and see this one in person – better yet, make sure you get your shimmer paint before the Holiday Mini catalog is over!

Christmas Pines - This is a very fun level 1 hostess set (get yours free by hosting a show or gathering orders for a catalog show!).  Check out the white background of this card which I received from a great demonstrator at Founders Circle!  Do you see that I used an embossing folder but there is an oval in the middle that remains flat?  This is an easy and fun technique – I’d love to show you how to do it!
