Canal Street Cards from October 8, 2015

The top card I cased from Pinterest.  I used Garden in Bloom stamp set to create the designer paper look on the background.The ink and card stock colors are Soft Suede, Old Olive, and Hello Honey.  I like the way the soft suede looks like gold.  The tag was made with scallop tag topper punch.

The second card is my own design using Flurry of Wishes stamp set and Snow flurry punch.  Save 15% by buying the bundle.  Stamps and punches make quick cards.  I used Lost Lagoon card stock and ink on the background snowflake.  The punched snowflakes are heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  I added some Bermuda Bay sequins for extra sparkle.  The 3/8" taffeta ribbon is on the clearance rack.

 These next two cards were taught by Nancy.  The greeting is from Reason for the Season stamp set.  I love the vintage look of the Home for Christmas designer series paper.  She also used the doily die which is on the clearance rack.

Her second card she used Bordering Blooms and Light Hearted leaves stamp set.  The images were colored with Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Cajun Craze markers.  The Woodlands Embossing Folder makes a great background for this Fall card.  I didn't buy this stamp with the preorder, as I thought I wouldn't have much time this year to make Fall cards.  The more cards I saw made with this, I fell in love with it.  It will be great year round.  It's fun to color in or stamp in one color on colored cardstock.

I'm home now from my Transatlantic Cruise/European vacation and ready to dive into Fall classes.  I am so glad I took the time to prepare for classes before departing on August 30.  It was much easier to relax.  I know on those sea days I would be thinking of all that I could be getting done instead of sitting with a book.   I hope you enjoyed seeing all my creations for the past 2-3 weeks. l am most looking forward to seeing all my friends that were away all Summer.  Welcome back!  Oh yeah about the card.  It's another Hearth and Home card which we will make in my Christmas Classes.  Contact me today to sign up.

Festival of Trees 2015

I didn't want to neglect my stamp sets that carried over from last year.  Of course I paired it with some brand new product from both the Annual and Holiday catalog.  I love to do heat embossing on Christmas cards.  The green is Cucumber Crush.  I love the Holiday Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.  It is $11 for 9 sheets.  There are 3 Christmas tree, 3 Candy Cane stripes, and 3 snowflakes.  I will be using these papers in my cards for my Christmas card classes.  They are set for October 15 and 29.  Contact me today to reserve your spot.  In each class we  will make 5 different cards for $20.
