Merry Patterns Inspiration

This card was inspired by another demonstrator names BJ Peters.  She used Lemon Lime Twist as her base color.  Since that color is NOT a favorite, I changed it out for Emerald Envy.

The Cherry Cobbler and Emerald Envy together are really great - as you can see. 

After stamping the flames, I added Wink of Stella to make them sparkle.  I colored the jewels to match the stamping with Sharpies.

Treat Bag Card or Gift Card Holder - Your Choice!

After starting a few more of these really adorable treat bags, I took this picture to show the difference just a few additions of color and embellishments make.
 Here the crumb cake treat bags are already embossed with the cable knit folder - they are just boring Crumb Cake before that.  I already had the pieces stamped and adhered to the contrasting colored circles.

Below:  just a few additions to really make these amazing.  1.  The right piece is sponged with Soft Suede ink.  2.  Tranquil Tide pine needles.  3.  Fresh fig pine needle pieces.  4.  Early Espresso pine cones in 2 designs.  5.  Gold thread wrapped around 6.  Fresh Fig or Tranquil Tide bow.
This design is from a piece I saw from a fellow demonstrator, Robin Smith.  She comes up with great projects!

Christmas in July - Tidings of Comfort and Joy...


So many times when I see the card greetings - especially for Christmas cards - a song starts playing in my head.  True, I do listen to Christmas music a little more than most people I believe...
 After stamping these cards (I made 4) I couldn't get that song out of my head!
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.  Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day, to save us all from Satan's power when we have gone astray... oh Tidings of Comfort and Joy, Comfort and Joy oh Tidings of Comfort and Joy....  There.
 I took this picture so you could see the copper embossing powder I added to the pine cones.  I triple stamped those...  first the Early Espresso piece with the detail, then the Crumb Cake solid piece.  I did a few full strength, and some stamped off.  Then I added the detailed piece with Versamark and heat embossed it using copper powder. 

Here I'm showing the card inside.  Instead of just stamping the greeting I also added the pine needles.

It might look like these took quite a bit of time, but I made them relatively quickly.
