getting ready for Santa

I just love this silly Santa! He is so happy you just have to smile at him! These are 2 cards I made rather quickly. I love to use my markers on the shimmery white cardstock. On the first card I used real red and the 2nd I used Rose Red and Rose Red designer paper.

more emerging color

I made a few more and found the secret to emerging color on designer paper is to not over heat it! Emboss it until it just "turns shiney" and stop. I am one who usually thinks I have to cook it!
Here I used more of the Parisian Summer with Sahara Sand card stock, Sahara Sand is my least favorite cardstock color, but it does go well with the DP. I also stamped on the pink pirouette ribbon. On the darker Upsy Daisy's I use Elegant Eggplant ink, because I thought the bravo b. ink wasn't working well... but it's not the ink... its the embosser-person!! LOL

bravo pink day

Today I finally found time to stamp for me and tried a new to me technique.. emerging color with designer paper. I used Parisian Summer with uppsy daisy stamp set. I stamped in versamark then embossed with clear embossing powder.. and brayered over it with bravo burgundy ink.. and then wiped the color off the upsy daisy's.One of them I goofed on and used white embossing powder.. it was an oops but came out okay in the end. I used pink pirouette card stock and bravo burgundy card stock.. fire brads, all stampin up materials. This was really fun and relaxing... I think I'll go stamp some more

these sweet little owls were made with my big shot die machine! I just love it!
I used the top note die and the scallop circles ... using the larger of the two!
they were so much fun for me and for the recipeints!

I was playing around with the scallop circle punch, Making the folds for the turkey when I deciced I needed to make a thankyou, and this is the result! I love it when I a chance to go up to my "studio". I love it when I get the chance to go up and just play around!

One of the girls at work asked me to come up with a place setting card for her Thanksgiving Day dinner. This is the result of my brain storming! I used the fall designer paper from the Holiday Mini catalog and the top note die, and I believe I used confetti white cardstock. I had to put it on post it notes to scan it..they are much prettier in real life!
