White Christmas Finale

Thanks for stopping in and here is the last installment of the "White" series. This card is just a little smaller and would be a great insert in a gift basket or hostess gift. It is 8-1/2 by 3-1/2 and scored at 4-1/4.

I can see this in so many different colors and tucked in that special goodie basket.

I am really happy with the new embosssing folders. So easy to use and achieves that extra pop in a great way.

 Again thanks for stopping by as I know you are busy getting all your cards ready for the fast approaching season. But don't forget if you need any extra paper or accessories you can always shop right here. I always seem to run out just at the most inopportune time!!!! Have a wonderful week and happy stamping!!!

Cheers from Shelagh in Shawnigan.

Poppy Present

Ok so the rain is back!!!!! What a wet day just meant for posting blogs and making cards.

 I wanted to share with all of you a card I made for my best buddy Sandy. I wanted to send a congrats on her new adventure...a fabulous new website...www.STAMPINGANDBLOGGING.COM She is an amazing mentor and has shared all kinds of ideas so I am happy she has branched out into a new area of growth. So here is the pressie and it started the process of the card.

I found this wall plaque at a fun furniture and gift store right here in little ole' Cobble Hill. I could spend lots of time & $$$$ in this store. Love it. Well the plaque went with the Stamp Set Pleasant Poppies and I created the card from it's inspiration.

  I put some pearls on the flowers and used my marker to "color" them.

And I apologize for the wrinkles in the background........I have retired the white "sheet" as I really can't imagine picking up the iron every time I want a picture!!!! On to new ways of presenting my creations.

Hope you all have a great day and get some ink on your fingers.

More White!!!

Happy Friday to all and hope you are having a good day.

I can't believe here we are in November and how close the Christmas season is. So here is another quick and easy card you could make and give to friends and family.

 

I used one of the new Delicate Design Folders from page 188 on the bottom of the card and then placed the glimmer brads into the design. The snowflake is made from the fancy Glimmer paper on page 160 run through the Big Shot using the new Bigx Die Snow Flurry.

 I punched a piece of Glimmer Paper with a 1-3/8 square  and then punched out the sentiment from the Hostess Set, Priority Post. I used white embossing powder on a piece of Cherry Cobbler...love Stampin' Up! powder, so much better than any other I have used. Not just saying that!!!!! Do your own quality test and I am sure you will agree.

Doesn't it look so festive and "blingy".  My daughters love any kind of bling!!! so that word is part of my vocabulary!

Now away you go...see what you can create and don't forget you can shop online with me. I would love to be your demonstrator. If you like you can host a Christmas Card Party right here for you and your friends. Lots of ideas to share and lots of room to play. Pop me an email or give me a call.
