Anniversary Card


I have been playing A LOT with the shimmer paint and I really have to say that I like it. The picture doesn't really do this card justice and you should see how neat the shimmer paint looks on textured card stock. I used the white frost shimmer paint on two of the hearts.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Scenic Season
Ink: Night of Navy
Card Stock: Night of Navy, Brushed Silver & Whisper White
Acc: Ticket Corner Punch

Christmas Card


The picture really doesn't do this card justice. I used the shimmer paint on the snowflake and I also made shimmer mist by mixing rubbing alcohol with shimmer paint and spraying it on the Very Vanilla card stock once I had stamped my snowflakes so it has a shimmer to it too.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Serene Snowflakes & Four Holidays
Ink: Not Quit Navy & Sahara Sand
Card Stock: Kraft, Not Quit Navy & Very Vanilla
Acc: Jumbo Snowflake punch, clear rhinestone brads, champagne shimmer paint & scallop edge punch.

Here come the Christmas Cards!


Did I tell everyone how much I love this Dasher stamp? this card is actually a lot prettier in person. I used the shimmer paint mixed with reinker to stamp Dasher so he actually has a shine to him. Oh and the new Bride Specialty paper actually resists ink, isn't that cool?
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Dasher
Ink: Soft Suede & Old Olive
Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede & Bride Specialty Paper
Acc: Champagne Shimmer Paint

Candle


Here is one of the candles that I made for my mom for Mother's Day. No, I didn't make the actual candle I bought it but I did make the cute little belly band to go around it so that it wasn't just a plain old candle. I used the same Designer Series Paper that I used on my organizer, I think the name of it was Parisian Summer but it is retired and no longer available. SORRY! Any of SU's Designer Series Paper would work just as well and remember for the month of May all of their Designer Series Papers are on sale buy 3 get one FREE.

Wedding Center Piece

Here is one of the center pieces from the wedding also. These are super simple to make. The belly band was done with the new eyelet boarder punch from SU with some Regal Rose 5/8" grosgrain ribbon wrapped around it and it is hard to see but there is a small heart charm hanging in the middle that reads "love". On the flowers we just made the same belly band to go around the vases to match the candle holders. I think they turned out super cute.





Wedding Favors



I know it isn't the best picture but these are the favors we made for my cousin's wedding. I used the Box #2 Die from Sizzix and the brand new Scalloped Oval punch from SU. It is hard to see but their names and the date they got married is inside the scalloped oval. They where actually pretty simple to make.

Christmas Ornament



I am still here, it has just been a crazy time. I wanted to share an ornament we made at the giftables class. It is much cuter in real life. I used the Holiday Lineup stamp set but I actually colored in the snowmen with a mixture of crystal effects and dazzling diamonds, they have some serious sparkle. I love this stamp set.
