Negative Masking

  I CASE'd this card from the very talented Gretchen Barron click HERE  for her step by step tutorial. Such a great idea! Save those pieces leftover from die cutting and use the negative image.  I use removable tape to make sure the mask stays put while you are sponging.  The colors on this card are Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist, the sentiment is from Petite Pairs. 
  So just to let you know it did rain (a little) and it is cooler so did I or didn't I sleep with the fork under my pillow??? Yeah right, me sleep with a fork under my pillow just so it would rain.  Sheesh! Wonder why I have a headache today????

October Stamp Club Cards

When I first saw the Peekaboo Frames die for the Big Shot I knew I wanted to make a card with an owl behind the door. These frames are so cute. Great for cards, scrapbooking or I am using them to make an advent calendar.
The paper is from Spice Cake available from the Holiday Mini catalog. The colors used here are taken from the paper; Pool Party, Soft Suede and Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs and the luscious ribbon is Pool Party ruffled ribbon.
















This is another card we made at stamp club last month. The stamp is from the Stampin' Up!™ set called Have a Seat; the paper is from the Well Worn paper pack. I painted some Champagne Mist shimmer paint just to give it a little shine. I still love that stuff-on my third bottle of Frost White!

Stocking in Marina Mist!

I know it is a little early to be making Christmas cards but I love the new Stocking Builder punch and matching stamp set Stitched Stockings. See the little jingle bells? Those came from the Holiday Mini catalog and are only $2.95 for a package of 48. The snowflakes were cut using
the Northern Frost die. I love
this die because the snow-
flakes are so intricate. The
snowflakes were glued to
the Marina Mist panel and
run through the Big Shot™
with the Square Lattice

embossing folder.
