Fall Printer Tray

This is the Fall Printer Tray I designed for myself.  Thank you Carol Seitz for letting me use your stamps.  Some are retired.  I love how it turned out.  I used Orchard Harvest designer paper from the holiday catalog.  The stamp sets from the holiday catalog are perfectly preserved, seasonal sayings .  from the annual catalog gently falling.  My husband did not like the cobs of corn.  He kept saying- "What does corn have to do with Thanksgiving?"  Can you explain it to him ladies?

Fall CASed card

Now when I see a card I love, I sit down and make it right away.  Unfortunately I usually don't remember where and it takes some time to find it again to give credit.  This card was posted on Sandi MacGiver's blog on November 7th.  I was so anxious to make it and I couldn't find my spritzer bottles.  I emptied one that had shimmer paint and alcohol in it.  I thought I rinsed it.  Sometimes mistakes make things better.  Sandi's tutorial advised spraying water over the inked stamp before pressing to the paper to give it a watercolor affect.  It took me two tries to get an image I liked.  So there are 2 flowers on my card.  The mistake that turned out awesome is the sparkle from the residual champagne mist shimmer paint(pg 158 $5.95) on the card.  It doesn't photograph well though.

Christmas Printer Tray Class

Yesterday was my Christmas Printer Tray Class.  Eight ladies came to my house for the class.  We had a great time!  Patty Anne brought candy canes to share with everyone.  Nancy Wicksrom had her friend Jeanie visiting.  She had never stamped before.  This was not a beginner project. we did lots of heat embossing.  She did a excellent job.  Some of the ladies suggested doing a Valentine and Easter printer tray.  We'll see if I can find time for that!  Let me know if you have the printer tray and want to do another holiday.

Christmas Lodge tree

The tree is embossed with gumball green embossing powder.  I love the vintage faceted designer buttons which are great for a project like this.  I saw this idea using designer paper at the botttom of the image in the Holiday catalog  page 19.  The ornaments on the tree are made with cherry cobbler dazzling details.
