Snow

I have been busy working on some Christmas orders so not too many cards have been made. I have to make 15 of these so not much else to post for awhile. I will post each side on different days, so keep watching! I just love these fun blocks. I asked my Dad if he could cut me some 3.5" x 3.5" blocks for a craft project (DH is overloaded right now). Dad went above and beyond. He cut them, sanded, and round all of the corners. I had intended to paint them but they were just too nice so I stained them instead and I am so glad that I did.

The SNOW is sprayed with the Shimmer Paint mixed with Rubbing Alcohol. It adds just a slight sparkle. I could spray everything with this!

Bermuda Medallion

My second card with the Medallion Background. Ok, I am convinced that I will definitely get my moneys worth from this stamp! I was very pleased when I lined it up and saw that it fit with my large Scallop circle die. I did stamp it twice and cut the circle out of the center to put on top of the Soft Suede. I stamped the Soft Suede again to put the center in the Build-a-Brad. I also tried the misting of the cardstock before running the Texturz Plate through the Big Shot so the impression would be a little more defined. Of course I could not go without sponging at least one thing so I went around the card front, oval behind the sentiment and the sentiment .

Man's Birthday

I needed a man's birthday card for my next stamp night. I love this set for making masculine cards. I wanted to use the grommets and thought they would go great with the build-a-brads. I sponged around the edges of the Soft Suede card base and the Crushed Curry card front. I love the mini clips and how cute the are with the tag punches. I stamped the wheat in Crushed Curry and went over the parts I wanted with the Soft Suede marker. I did the same with the Happy Birthday...have I said how much I love having the markers in the In Colors!
