Christmas Gift

I knew these Celebration Dies would make great little gifts!!

Casing the Catty

Today on my Facebook Live I took a design from the new mini catty and made three cards with different DSP.    I used the Celebrations Tidings Bundle.

Garden Embossed Lovliness

Same technique as yesterday but I needed to use Soft Sea Foam, Misty Moonlight and Roccoco Rose on my card for our Westcoast Creator challenge!

Double Embossing Technique

I love this technique!  You stamp with a solid image and emboss it with clear embossing powder.  Then you stamp another image and emboss with white powder.  Then you sponge with two colours and where you have embossed with clear turns out really white.  After you sponge you have to wipe over the embossed areas with a tissue.   Then you stamp leaves or any image on top of that and wipe again with a tissue and the effect is stunning.  It looks like it is behind!

Balmy Blue Glitter Nativity

I think this card is my favourite of my nativity cards!  I love the new Balmy Blue Glitter paper!  I used both pieces of the nativity and put dimensionals under the top one and I think it looks really neat!

Peaceful Nativity Bundle

I enjoyed making this card by stamping with Versemark and then embossed with white powder.   It looks so lovely on the Night of Navy!

Christmas in July

Thought I would do my Facebook Live on this new set in the new mini catty!   The nativity set is lovely!!

Sailing Home with Baby Wipes

This is the same technique as yesterday just using the Sailing Home set!

Another Baby Wipe Card

The baby wipe technique is so lovely with this Forever Fern stamp sets.  When you put Washi tape down you can make the frame and it is so lovely!

Baby wipe Technique meets Forever Fern

I haven’t ever done the baby wipe technique!   It is quite stunning when you put drops of reinker onto a baby wipe and then stamp with it.  I used Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron.   I love these stamps to begin with but it is amazing with this technique!

Forever Fern

I cased this card from Tami Hewlett. I hardly use Pumpkin Pie and it looks so lovely with the copper foil and the Sahara Sand leaves!

Forever Fern

I love this Forever Greenery suite!!!the stamps are so incredible!!   While doing “research” 😎 on Pinterest I found this card by Michele Fulrise and had to case it!  I was looking for different colours to use with this suite and this card was stunning!  Sahara SAnd and Shaded Spruce with gold is not combination I would have done but that is the great thing about researching cards on Pinterest!

Forever Fern

I love the Forever Greenery suite and everything in it!  I had only worked with all my greens but decided to venture into some different colours.  The stamps are so lovely in any colour with their dark and light accents!

West Coast Creator In Color Blog Hop

Welcome to our West Coast Creators Blog Hop for July.    We are featuring the In Colors this month and I know you will love everyone's creations for this blog hop.   I am excited to be a part of this talented group.

 I have used the Jar of Flowers Bundle to create this cute card.   This is a simple card I created and then I stepped it up in the picture below.   I used Bumble Bee Cardstock and  Bumble Bee In Color Designer Series Paper for the background.   I stamped the jar with Black Momento Ink onto Misty Moonlight cardstock and then punched it out.  I added the Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dots. The images are stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock.

To step up my simple card from above, I coloured the flowers with Bumble Bee and Old Olive ink.  I wanted to make some simple cards for my card classes but then thought I would step it up a notch and I like it just as well after I coloured it.

Gift Wrapped Bundle

I did my Facebook Live today to give a little sneak peek on the Gift Wrapped Bundle in the new Handmade for You mini catalogue.  I made a couple of Christmas things but also wanted to use this bundle to make birthday cards for everyday and here they are!!!

Last of the Peonies

The card on the left is my Merry Merlot Peony.  Sharon Wojcieschowski made the other card in our last Westcoast Creator swap.  Both of used the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.

Calypso Coral Peony

It seems these peonies look great in any colour!  I love it too in Calypso Coral.  

Prized Vellum Peonies

I saw a card on Pinterest made with vellum and decided to try it.  I showed how to make them on my Facebook Live.  After that I decided to make one more peony - sponged it with So Saffron and then coloured it with Wink of Stella!  I decided to use Granny Apple Green as one of my friends watching suggested it.

Westcoast Creator Challenge

I made this card using my Ornate Garden Suite to match a sketch challenge for this week’s Westcoast Creator challenge.

Umbrella Punch Art

I was cruising through Pinterest and saw several people who had made these dresses with the umbrella punch - one person being Nancy Novak.    You just punch out one of the smaller pieces and four of the wider umbrella and two umbrella handles in gray.   Then you put all the pieces through an embossing folder and then glue them on your card!  This is so neat!!!

Dandelion Birthday

I sponged the piece and then stamped with black ink the dandelion!    Then I cut the other pieces to match.

Sponging and Adhesive

Beauty Abounds with Sponging

I showed how to make these cards by sponging with ink on my Facebook Live today.  I wanted to make a card for friends whose grandson has cancer - I love this scripture!
