Here's how my card was made:


For today's card I made a nontraditional Christmas card using;
1.Dreamweaver Stencils new FJ858 Greetings Embossing Folder that I used as the base of the card.  To get the blue color I rubbed Sky Blue Brilliance from Tsukineko over the the indented side of the folder (not the raised), then embossed using Core'dinations white cardstock.
2.  I then stamped the butterfly from Stampendous' Jumbo Butterfly Trio set with Versamark on Core'dinations vellum and embossed the Shabby White Embossing Enamel. 
3.  Next the same butterfly was stamped on Glitter Silk paper from Core'dinations with Delicata Golden Glitz pigment ink from Tsukineko and embossed with clear powder.
4.  Both were cut out using the new Butterflies Die Cut Set from Stampendous.  When using the die it cuts off the antennas, so for the vellum piece I cut around the antennas then placed the die on the butterfly with the antennas on top of the die so they wouldn't be cut.  The vellum wings were bent, glued to the sparkle paper and blue self adhesive pearls were added.
5.  The letters and leaves were then die cut using Dreamweaver Stencils new Dual Alphabet Cutting Dies DD005 and DD003 Leafy Branch from Core'dinations Glitter Silk paper.
6.  The sentiment from the Holiday Words Perfectly Clear Set using Versamark ink and emboss with  Copper Tinsel Embossing Powder, layer onto gold paper.

Made this at the last minute using Stampendous stamps Clear Set SSC1182, Dreamweaver Stencils new Embossing Folder FG675 Pine Cones and Core'dinations Chalk Core sandable paper.

Scor-Pal Time

I broke out the Scor-Pal to make a card and matching envelope. For the card a grid pattern was made, then it was lightly sponged with butterscotch and caramel Adirondack inks. The the flowers from Rubber Stamp Concepts were colored with markers, lightly spritzed with water to blend the colors and stamped. A hole was punched in the top left corner and a dragonfly brad was added. "Always" was stamped on vellum with black VersaFine ink then embossed with clear powder. Vellum tape was used to attach the vellum to the flower panel, then this was tied with beige jute and layered onto black and olive papers then finally mounted to a purple card.
Then I needed an envelope to fit the card so I just laid a piece of printer paper on my Scor-Pal, then laid the card on top of that and started scoring, nothing scientific! I'm going to enter this in a score challenge over at Caardvarks, hop on over and take a look.


Now I have some pictures of my weekend at Camp Surf in San Diego to share. We all had a great time. It is run by the YMCA and the facilities are kept very nice and the staff is super friendly. Here is my daughter Melanie with the pink surfboard and her two friends. It was really over cast but warm in the day. We were tent camping on the beach and it rained for a while Saturday night, luckily it didn't rain in the day!

One of the staff members found a baby octopus hiding in some seaweed. Who knew they were so small, I guess it just isn't anything I ever thought about, but I was surprised at how tiny is was.


And here is Melanie (in the brown top) with her friends, she took the picture, wow what a great job she did!


Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!

Time To Start On Christmas Cards!


It's never to early to start on your Christmas cards! I know it's hard making Christmas cards when it is 100 degrees or hotter out, but don't put it off or you might end up having to buy some at the last minute like I did last year! When I design my cards for Christmas, the goal is to come up with an attractive design that is easy to mass produce since I make about 100. Of course I get board just making one card over and over so the next few months I will post many different designs, be sure to keep checking back for more ideas.
The Christmas stamp is stamped on Vellum with VersaMark ink and embossed with champagne embossing powder. This is then placed over a panel that has been stamped with the floral design in warm green ColorBox Chalk ink. Next layer this onto dark green paper, tie with ribbon and layer onto red and gold panels. Glue to an ivory card, place corner mount stickers in the two right corners and three red circle stickers on the right side.

Vellum and Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

Okay, we got a new computer last week woo hoo! So several days ago I figured out how to up load my pictures from my camera (something I don't know how to do on our old one). Yesterday I wanted to post on my blog but I couldn't find where the pictures were on the computer, isn't that pathetic! Well last night after I got home from teaching my stamp class, my DH found where they were and showed my how to access them, I don't know what I would do without him. So now I can post pictures of my cards which look so much better than scanning them. Now on to the card...
This is on of the cards we made in my class last night and it is also for the stamp simply challenge over at No Time To Stamp.
1. Stamp flowers (Great Impressions) two times on a confetti panel with lettuce then stamp again in the middle with wild plum (Adirondack)
2. Punch the corners with a ticket punch (SU) and sponge the edges with lettuce. Layer onto bright pink panel.
3. Stamp a vellum panel with leaves (Great Impressions) using white Brilliance. Glue to a turquoise card using vellum tape (Glue Dots) and mount stamped image in the center.
4. Stamp a vellum strip with "heartfelt" (Hero Arts) with black Brilliance, tear the edges and tape over the flowers.
5. Add circle stickers.


Now for family photos! Here is my wonderful husband (our 21 year anniversary is the end of this month) with our daughter Melanie and son Greg when we were at the air show last month.

Here is our Girl Scout Troop when we placed flags on veterans graves on Memorial day.


My daughters birthday was last month and she had a slumber party, here she is with a couple of her friends. Melanie is in the middle.



Finally, this is my Mom and Greg (isn't he cute!), we went to an Easter egg hunt and breakfast where my Mom lives. Can you believe these pictures were in my camera so long!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Love To You

This is one of my favorite cards, I love cards with gold!
1. Stamp small images, by Stampendous, onto pearlized card stock with VersaMark ink, emboss with champagne embossing powder and punch out with a square punch, then layer it onto gold paper.
2. Stamp heart onto cream vellum with beige Brilliance (IRL it has shimmer to it), tear the bottom and tape to a pearlized square card using vellum tape.
3. Stamp sentiment at the bottom with VersaMark ink and emboss with champagne embossing powder.
4. Mount stamped images to card as shown and apply gold corner mount stickers, by Stampendous, to the top corners.

Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day. We hosted Mother's Day and had 16 people over, half were my sister-in laws inlaws. We had a nice time but no rest for me. I'm looking forward to this week, the weather will be beautiful here. Starting Wednesday it will be in the 90's which is a huge jump from today which will be about 68, brrrrrrrr! I hope the weather is beautiful where you are and have a great week :)

Simplicity is Bliss

Here is a card I made a while ago, but I love it's simplicity. I stamped the olive green paper with a flower stamp from Great Impressions with lettuce Adirondack ink and glued it onto a smokey blue card. Then I stamped the rectangle with denim Adirondack ink and stamped the word with lettuce onto a tan strip and sponged the edges, these stamps are from My Sentiments Exactly. Finally, I stamped the flower onto vellum using VersaMark ink, embossed it with white and tore it out. It is attached to the card using vellum dots. For the final touch, circle stickers from Stampendous, were added to the corners of the tan strip.
Now I must go play with my new Scor-Pal that I just got this week. So far I have started a punch of projects but haven't finished, it is now time to do that. Thanks for stopping by :)
