You're a Blessing Swap Card for On Stage

This is the card I will be swapping at On Stage November 7-10.  I'm not sure how many I will have time to complete this week.  I have a Christmas Class on Tuesday and Club on Friday just before flying to Wisconsin for the weekend for my nieces wedding.  I was inspired by a card made by Melissa Davies.  See her card by clicking here. https://www.rubberfunatics.blogspot.com.  It reminded me of my grandma's china.  My sister now has that china.  I never noticed this hostess set until I saw her card.  The set is such a good complement to Tea for Two stamps set and dies in the annual catalog.  I have seen so many wonderful cards made with this set.  You must have a workshop or order of $150 or more to get this set.  I used Blueberry Bushel ink and ribbon.  I also embossed the mat with Climbing Vines embossing folder.  I heat embossed the cup and doily with white embossing powder then cut it out with the dies.  I think I will use my stamparatus to complete the rest of the cards so I can quickly die cut and then stamp them.  It may be a little tricky pulling the cut cup out without touching the Versa Mark ink.  Thanks for checking out my card today.  Give me a call to order your set.

Special Anniversary Cards

Last Saturday we helped Eileen and Ron Ruggeri celebrate their anniversary at Riccardi's in Brownwood.  The stamp sets I used were Apothecary Art, Memorable Moments and I Love Lace background Stamp.  I colored the 42 with my Blendabilities.  The rose design partially hidden was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and then colored in with a blender pen.  The ribbon is Very Vanilla seam binding.

My downline Carol Heisterkamp and her husband Bruce are celebrating their 50th this year.  Here is the card I made for them.  I hope she doesn't read my blog while she's away and spoil the surprise!  I again used Memorable Moments stamp set.  Other items used Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, Foil Sheets and Whisper White Satin ribbon.  The stamped image is done with versa mark ink and gold embossing powder  which I heated.  I love to heat emboss.
