PPA113 Beautiful Season

I created this card for PPA113. I decided I LOVE this card so much, it is going to be my 2011 Christmas card!

I really love the simplicity of the clear embossed bird image, and the turned sentiment. The jingle bell is a fun addition.

This stamp set is called Beautiful Season. The bird image was embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, using the Heat Tool. 

I used the Cherry Cobbler 3/8 Quilted Satin Ribbon from the Holiday Mini. I tied the Mini Jingle Bell to the ribbon with Linen Thread. I like the added strip of Early Espresso cardstock, just to add a bit of contrast to the Crumb Cake Cardstock. 

I embossed the Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the new Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, using my Big Shot. After it was embossed, I used a Sponge Dauber, and dabbed on a bit of Frost White Shimmer Paint, for some added glitz and sparkle. I really love that stuff, it's fun to use instead of an ink pad on stamped images!

I hope you enjoyed this card. I loved making it!

Thanks for visiting!

Wicked Cool!

This fun card was created for a Challenge on Create with Connie & Mary for their Holiday Edition.

I used the Wicked Cool stamp set for this card. It's so cute, I just love it! I also used the new Designer Series Paper called Frightful Sight. The cardstock colors I chose are: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Whisper White. I embossed the front of the card with the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with my Big Shot. I added a Rhinestone to the candelabra for some cute bling.

I hope you enjoyed this card! Much more to come!

Thanks,
Heather

Halloween Week 4

This will be my last Halloween Post for the year. Awww, I know, right?! But that means we get closer to Christmas! YIPPEE!



I decided to make a treat container for this last post. I used our Candy Wrapper Big Shot Die, embossed it with the Web embossing folder, glittered up a bat that I punched out and covered in glue, added a brad and some ribbon and look what a cute package you get!


I just lo-ove that green glittery bat! GAWGEOUS! Glitter is so messy, but look at the results you get! I altered the Candy Wrapper, I made the bottom flat, and I didn't twist the top, I just closed the flaps together with a Glimmer Brad.

Thanks for visiting today, keep coming back to see the fall projects I have in store for you.
