Parcels and Petals, Stitched Rectangles, and More

Today, let's combine some favorite new and old products ... mostly new.  I have a birthday card for you.  Enjoy!  Oh ... and, by the way ... I saw the Holiday Catalog PDF yesterday ... and ... all I can say is ... WOW!!!  I absolutely can't wait.  One suite was positively love at first sight. 

I had a lot of this gorgeous DSP left over after it retired and decided to use and enjoy it ... instead of hoarding it.  Combining it with fun, new products was a great way to still enjoy my new products.  This DSP is way too pretty to sit in my cabinet.  It needs to be shared.

I made a big batch of these cards for my church to send out for our July birthdays.  I hope they like them.

Matchbook Snowman Treats

As with my previous post, I made lots of these treats to share, too.  They turned out pretty cute, using our little snowman.  Are you rested up from Christmas?  I'm fighting a nasty cold, resting, and doing a bit of stamping.  I just can't let my stamps get dusty:)

Open House/Christmas Party, Project 3

Our third Make and Take project at my Open House was a cute little snowman note card.  I don't know if this was the top favorite project but the little snowman was a real hit.   

I thought the little trinket added the perfect touch.  

All the stamps in this project were from this same Christmas Magic stamp set.

This little card is a winner!  You could also change the greetings inside the card and make this into a thank you for a Christmas gift.

A Beautiful Fall Tree and A Mini Tutorial

I'm enjoying our beautiful Fall weather.  Although I haven't been able to take a walk, due to my leg injury, I still notice and enjoy the trees as we drive by them.  My tree today still has lots of wonderful foliage in beautiful Fall colors.  

This is one of the cards we made at one of my previous Saturday Stampers class.  It is stamped onto a circle of watercolor paper.  The circle behind it is cut from some of our wonderful Copper Foil.   The circle pieces are attached to one of our Specialty Papers which is sponged to a gorgeous Fall color.  After I tied the burlap ribbon around the card, I attached a tiny leaf with a teeny, tiny rhinestone.  I love it!

A mini tutorial for creating this beautiful tree:
- Stamp the bare tree onto watercolor paper.
- Stamp 2 or 3 Fall colors of 'leaves' (1 at a time) onto the watercolor paper.
- Gently spritz the 'leaves' with water, using just enough to gently blend the colors.
- Using an Aqua Painter, paint some green under the tree, for 'grass'.
- Once it's all completely dry, spritz (just the white circle) with shimmer mist.
- Assemble your beautiful card and enjoy.
