It is Halloween 2016 – can hardly believe we are about to start the last 2 months on 2016 ~ where did the year go? – It is hard to think of Halloween as it is still in the high 80’s F (low 30’s in C) here in North Texas! but time to share another seasonal card.
The trick and treater’s did not visit us over the weekend so I think we will be busy this evening ——- I have my witches hat and broom already!
Frame Art, Samplers…. call them what you will – I just love to design and create these little vignettes out of card, ink and embellishments. This is the third in a series I have designed and offered as classes to my lovely ladies.
As this is Halloween I thought I would share this one with you…………………….
This is Halloween weekend – although it is hard to think of Halloween when it is in the high 80’s F (low 30’s in C) here in North Texas! but time to share a seasonal card.
Since the 31st is a Monday I am not sure when the trick and treaters will be around in our neighbourhood but I am ready with the candy in case they come before Monday!
Earlier this month my husband celebrated a milestone birthday, he is my best friend, the father to two beautiful boys and Grandpa to 4 of the sweetest little granddaughters. He also has the patience of a saint, never says a word when he comes home from work and there is a houseful of ladies stampin’ cuttin’ and stickin’. Bits of glitter and backs of dimensionals on the floor don’t phase him and will happily stand there manning a craft fair booth all day!
So this special fella deserves a special card…………………
We are coming up to the holiday season and gift exchanges. I like to have a few small, decorated items on hand so I can hand out to folks to show how I appreciate them ~ it could be my hairdresser, the lady who does my nails, the mail lady …. oh just about everyone.
Today I am sharing a Lip Balm holder with a video to show some of the details, if you have folks in your lives, teachers, co-workers, crossing guard, maybe you would consider making something for them to show your appreciation.
The 2016 Holiday Catalog from Stampin” Up! has a couple of products tucked away on page 7 – glittery embossing powder in Real Red and Emerald Envy – just perfect Christmas colors.
I have said before and will probably say again ~ I love heat embossing ~ it just has to be one of my most favorite techniques, so I paired the embossing powders with the perfectly named Frosted Medallions stamp set and once I had out all the tools I just played away with card to see the different effects.
This is one of those cards that you make for someone special – a friend who has a heart of gold, is in your Stampin’ Up! team, is very supportive and brings you cookies and cakes when she visits!
When you make a card for a fellow card maker you know that she will appreciate it but that she will also look at it very closely to see how it is done! So you try to out do yourself because you don’t want to produce an ‘ordinary’ card.
Welcome to the first ever Ultimate Pink Blog Hop – a collection of ideas from Stampin’ UP! demonstrators all over the globe featuring shades of pink in honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I have chosen to use some of the darker, more jewel shades of pink in my card today which features the Floral Framelits Dies with the coordinating Floral Phrases Stamp Set
