*********************TODAY’S POST ***********************

I was supposed to make this card and post it last week…but with my classes, and other obligations, I just couldn’t get it photographed and posted. So here it is a little late.  Colors we had to use were So Saffron (a light yellow),  More Mustard (a warm mustard color), and Riding Hood Red ( a warm red tone). I chose to use flowers of several kinds, plus the lacy border punch.

Here’s a few more close ups.

Supplies: Simply Soft Hostess  & Circle Circus ss; Cardstock: More mustard, ridinghood red, whisper white, Soft Suede; Inks: So Saffron, More Mustard, Ridinghood Red;

Accessories: DSP, Paper daisies, Triple Blossom punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Lacy border punch, sponges, Polka dot mustard ribbon, round fired rhinestones, Vanilla shimmer smooch spray ,  EKSuccess border punch. (a new one someone loaned me to try out:)

Technique: Used some distressing and sponging, spritzing.. to jazz it up a bit. Triple bow using Magic bow maker from Lee Conrey.

Be sure to leave a comment! This card is for sale in my ETSY shop if you’d like to have like it. I also do custom colors if you want a different color combo.

These are something I am working on for a local craft show. A friend and fellow stamper was over and saw the finished product and said… WOW.. and where will these be for sale?? I told her to get there early… there are only 27 available!! But we will have lots of other blingy pretty Holiday items for sale. So if you’re in the Albuquerque area.. come by Grace Church at 6901 San Antonio NE, Sat Nov 5 from 9am to 3pm.

Here’s a sneak peek of some of the glitz and bling!!

I got some of the new Frostwood Lodge design paper in and had to make a card using it….so decided to use the sketch from Mary Fish’s PPA weekly challenges. Here is this week’s sketch

I love the Winter post stamp set, so used the reindeer, post mark, postcard greeting and snowflakes to embellish my card.

I used some of the diamonds that end up as residue after punching out the snowflakes for the corners, a Triple punch flower and bold glimmer brad to add the extra bling. Ribbon is Real Red satin. The reindeer were stamped in Early Espresso, the sides were sponged with Bashful Blue. Blue mat is Marina Mist, layered over the Frostwood Lodge paper which is the blue and red piece. There is also  a green and red plaid piece in the pack. I hope you get some inspiration from my card and go try your hand using this sketch. I have another card using the same sketch which will be posted on Monday. This was a standard size A2 card.

Supplies: Winter Post stamp set; Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Read Red, Whisper White, Marina Mist;

Designer paper: Frostwood Lodge;

Accessories: Silver Glimmer paper, Bold Glimmer Brads, Triple flower punch, Snowflake punch, Real Red Satin ribbon, sponges, Tombow mulit purpose glue

Note: the top curved part at the tope of the card in the picture is actually the back of the card, I opened the card up and laid it down to take the picture..it’s really not an additional “embellishment” of the card.

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to stop by my ETSY SHOP for handmade cards and gifts.  Leave a comment and you may get a MYSTERY KIT in the mail!! I’m sending another MYSTERY KIT out to some lucky reader in the next couple days!!
