Golden Trees

 

Finally the weekend is here. I had a vision that I wanted to use my Christmas fabric and making a Christmas card with it. This fits perfect with the sketch challenge as well as Ways To Use It challenge using pearls.

I started with Burgundy Bazzill as the base. I ironed Fusible Web onto the fabric and then again onto white cs as the layer. I folded the ends of the fabric underneath. I used my SU mat stack to pierce holes in all 4 corners and attached mini gold brads. I cut 2 pieces of 2.5" x 2.5" squares on Glitter Self Adhesive dp. I stamped the image with Versa Mark onto GP white cs, used gold embossing powder and heat gun to set. I also added mini self stick pearls onto the tree. I sponged with Baroque Burgundy around the edges. I used the SU mat stack again on the corner, added 3 mini gold brads. I also layered with Burgundy Bazzill cs. I then tied 2 strings of gold ribbon across the bottom of the tree and tied a knot.

This is what I visioned all day at work and I'm happy with the results.

New addition to the family

 

This is Ellie. She's our new addition to the family. Ellie is 16 wks old. She's a hound/pointer mix. We got her at lifelinepuppy.org in Brighton, Co I haven't heard her bark yet, although she does moan and snores which is kind of cute. She loves her tennis ball. The kids sure love her.

Thoughts of You 3

 

Everything is the same for all 3 cards. The exceptions are the colors. I used a purple metal tag and stamped the sentiment with black stazon.

Thoughts of You 2

 

I started with DCWV pre-embossed card. I layered with black bazzill cs, only orange cs & Halloween gingham dp. I used the SU Matt stack to color in the holes with my white opaque pen onto the black cs. I stamped the flowers with black stazon on GP white cs, colored the flowers with the SU Marker (only orange) and added mini self adhesive silver beads to the centers of the flowers. I used the CB large circle and medium circle, stamped the sentiment with black stazon. The image is layered with the same cs, exception of the dp. The image is also raised with 3D strips. I then tied a $1 Michaels dotted ribbon and added 3 black self adhesive rhinestones.

I needed to make 3 similar cards as a set for an order. I'm hoping the person likes it.

LSC238 Spooky Quilt

 

For the limited challenge, we were to use Halloween colors. I just received my new quilt magazine, it had these great Halloween quilts and I took my inspiration from my magazine.

I started with pumpkin pie as the base. I layered with DCWV textured purple cs. I ran the CB Swiss Dot folder through caramel cs. I was given some top notes cut outs from one of pen pals here on SCS. I used a medium square punch on different Halloween dp's that I received from my twin sister (okstamper). I adhered all the squares onto the top and cut the access off. I then used a black sharpie and marked criss crosses on the seams. I also ran the CB Houndtooth folder after I adhered all the squares. I stamped the spider web on caramel cs with black stazon, cut out and attached a spider brad for the center of the web onto the orange square. I attached orange ribbon underneath the top note. I also stamped the skull with black stazon on caramel cs, cut out and added googlie eyes. It's attached with a 3D square as well as the top note. I also stamped the sentiment with black stazon onto caramel cs, layered with DCWV textured purple cs. I added an orange mini brad on the corner. It's also raised with a 3D square.

After I was done with this, I noticed I had 5 embellishments, however I think the googlie eyes would count as one. I hope it was ok.

Botanical Wishes

 

I started with black bazzill cs as the base. I stamped the large leaf from the botanical set with rose romance ink randomly on GP White cs. I then used the large nestie scallop rectangle through the CB with rose romance cs. I also stamped the leaves with rose romance onto the nestie cutout. I layered with black bazzill cs and GP white cs. I stamped the script with rose romance onto the GP white cs. I then stamped the image with versa mark onto the script, used black ep and heat gun to set. I then sponged over the image with rose romance ink lightly. I also stamped the butterflies with versa mark ink, used black ep and heat gun to set, then cut out the butterflies and popped them with 3D dots and again sponged them with rose romance ink. I then added mini self stick pearls to the butterflies. I stamped the phrase with black stazon. I enjoyed making this card.
