Frosty Trees-Ornament Card

October 2014
Starting my Christmas Cards so that I get done in time this year!
I used Blackberry Bliss for the Basic Card, layered with Smokey Slate Card Stock
which was stamped in Versa Mark to leave a watermark, using
the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set from SU.
I stamped (old faithful) Lovely As A Tree SU Stamp Set, on to
Shimmery White Card Stock in Mossy Meadow ink.
Used Heat & Stick powder with Dazzling Details over it.
The neat part of this card is how the ornament is made.
It is done using the Scalloped Top Tag Punch and
the Oval Thinlets die cuts.
I showed how to do this at one of my workshops.
Embellished the card with a little Mossy Meadow Bow.
The inside also has an oval of off white card stock stamped
with the little branch/pine cone, from the same set.

At this past Sunday's Fall Stamp Club Class we made this card with matching envelope.
It is from Stampin Up, and it is from the stamp set from the inside cover of the New Stampin up catalog that came out in June.  Flamingo Lingo.
When you purchase this stamp set, $3 of the proceeds goes directly to the
Ronald MacDonald House.
The idea for this card came from Brandy's Cards.
A FUN card to make for any season, and reason, and helping a good cause at the same time!

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!
Here in Florida I am sooooooooo looking forward to the cooler weather.  
I know all my family and friends up north in Wisconsin are
wishing for summer to start, and fall is already setting in.
I made the following card from a tutorial I sent for from
Michele Zindorf.  Lover her cards!
Hope you enjoy seeing this card as much as I enjoyed making it.

JUNE 2014



Made this flip card for a dear friend of ours.  He always answers, "Peachy Keen" whenever you ask him how he is.  Thought it very appropriate for his birthday.  It was a fun card to make.
Hope you enjoy it too!

FALL IS IN THE AIR

Today is the first day of November.  I think Fall is my very favorite season of the year.  I love the warm fall colors.  It also tells me the the Holiday Season is coming.

Love Thanksgiving!  Although I think it's fast becoming a forgotten Holiday.  Sad.  But, for those of us that love celebrating it, we are lucky to be in this wonderful hobby of card making.....so many lovely fall cards.

Following are some I think you'll enjoy.  Some I cased, but some I made.........

This is one made for Halloween.

This is a cased one, but will be making it soon.
I made several of these!  Love Michelle Zindorf's work!
Certainly depicts Thanksgiving.
Another Zindorf card........
 I have many more beautiful fall cards, but these are just a sampling. 
Enjoy the season my friends, and Happy Stamping!

The above card was made using a "sketch template" for insentive.
Using Tangerine Tango, and Whisper White card stock.  Run the W.w. card stock through the Honeycomg Embossing Folder.  Secure to Tangerine Tango base card. Using the the new small butterfly punch, punch out four butterflies.  Allow enough space to be able to punch out around each of the butterflies with the Square Scallop Punch. Place them on the w white card stock using Stampin Dimentionals....sort of on angles to each other.
Wrap Tangerine Tango ribbon around upper portion.  Tie knot in center.
Put the New Large Pearls in the center of each butterfly.
Apply to the Whisper White Card Stock.
