Thelma getting ready to celebrate

I finally get to use this christmas image of Thelma getting ready to celebrate with her dog. Isn't she cute? Make sure you visit http://www.dzdoodles.com/ and check out all the new digital images. Don't you just love her dogs eyes. I coloured her with my copic markers and added the googly eyes for fun. I turned the oval into a sort of ornament complete with bow at the top. I used some retired DP from SU! and some crocheted lace ribbon. Thanks for looking and have a super evening.

How cute is this tag!!!

This was so easy to make. I love making these tags. Just a quick post...off to dinner. These are the new dies from Clear Dollar Stamps. You get 3 shapes that coordinate with each other and there are also 2 coordinating stamp sets to add just the right flair. Love it!!

Last but not least....and all 4!!

Here is the last card for my xmas class. I used the Sizzix Bigz snowflake die and added dazzling diamonds on top to add some shimmer. It's a pretty basic card and it will be perfect for my class. Phinneaeus decided that the card needed a cute kitty to pose with it so up he jumped. Isn't he cute!! So here is all four cards that we will be making: 3 of each design for a total of 12 cards. It should be a fun night. Thanks for looking and happy stamping.

More cards for Xmas class

Some more designs for a card class I will be offering. I actually revisited my first card and sponged over the embossed area. It just seemed to be missing something. The second card has a vintage look. I used the stamp set called Greeting Card Kids and Itty Bitty Backgrounds. Cardstock is very vanilla, cherry cobbler, DP. Accessories are SU! retired ribbon, vintage brad, glitter. I decided to make this one 4 1/4" square (so it will still fit inside a standard envelope). My next card used the stamp set Holiday Line-up. These characters are so funny. The other stamps are with elves and snowpeople. I used whisper white, pear pizzazz, chocolate chip and various DP. I coloured the reindeer with copic markers and added some googly eyes on rudy. I will be making one more card to complete the set (class will be make 3 of each design for a total of 12 cards). As a bonus or for those who finish quickly, a set of vintage tags can be completed. Thanks for looking and happy stamping.

Xmas card class - First design

Well, I'm putting together an xmas card class for work and so I've been scouring all the beautiful blogs in hopes of new and wonderful ideas. In the end, I actually just put one together myself. I love all the details in this one. Embossing folder, punches, buttons, ribbon, + sponging are just some of the accessories to be used for card #1. Card stock is very vanilla, baja breeze, early espresso and retired xmas DP all adhered to very vanilla card base. Stay tuned for card #2 coming soon. The class will consist of 12 cards and a set of 4 tags.

Pumpkin box or that's what it said!!

I came across this template for purchase while visiting My Favorite Things website http://www.mftstamps.com/. It is labelled as a pumpkin box but I think you can turn it into whatever your needs are. I thought this would make a very nice baby box for a ceramic ornament. I distressed the edges with broken china distress ink from Tim Holtz and put a velum scalloped flower on the top. Otherwise, I left it quite simple. Imagine if you wheeled over the cardstock with stamped images or used heavy designer paper. This was very simple to put together. I printed the template directly onto baja breeze cardstock from SU! Then all you do is cut and score and tape. And if you have a nifty template cutting machine, it would be extremely easy. Hope you like it and thanks for visiting.

SSNOTIME 158 Butterfly kisses

Isn't this just the most beautiful wedding dress ever!! Here is the challenge...be inspired by this and make something of your own. Here is my take.

Just bought a pad of designer paper by K + Company...OMG!!! I love all the papers. I made this card in vintage-style. I used distress ink vintage photo from Tim Holtz on all the edges. It really makes the colours look so rich. I used Clear Dollar Stamps "Beautiful Butterflies" for both the image and sentiment. All the non-DP is SU! The antique brad is also from SU! Love it!! The crotchet lace is actually my surprise find at the dollar store. I coloured very vanilla satin ribbon from SU! with my copic marker to get the right turquoise colour (B05). Hope you like it. TFL.
