Another Beauty of The Season

Here's yet one more card I made using our Beauty of the Season stamp set.  This one features stamping AND embossing... all on watercolor paper.  It makes for great texture.  The embossing folder is from our Holiday Catalog and it's called Filigree Frame.

I stamped inside the card and on the envelope, as well.  The cardinal is the state bird for our state of Illinois.  We often enjoy seeing them in our back yard.  They are beautiful.

This one was colored with inks and an Aqua Painter.   I used the medium marker from my Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to color the berries on the envelope.

Here are all 3 of the cards I've made (so far) with this beautiful stamp set.

Isn't it nice to think about a little Christmas when it's so hot outside right now?

Beauty of the Season with a Perfect Bow

I have another card to share with you today, using our Beauty of the Season stamp set.  I've decorated the inside and outside of the card, as well as creating a coordinating envelope.

I've stamped the cardinal onto watercolor paper, for added texture, and colored it with our new Blendabilities.

I added a strip of embossed CS on the lower portion of the card, below the bow.

Do you like to use bows but sometimes have trouble getting them just right?  Here's a video that may help you.

Time Out for Chrismtas...with a Striped Ribbon

I've been working on my Christmas schedule for 2014, so let's take some time out today to look at a card I've made for Christmas, as well as take a peek at what I have scheduled for my Christmas classes.

I'm using a brand new stamp set, called Beauty of the Season.   It's from our upcoming Holiday Catalog, which goes live on August.28.  This is a gorgeous stamp set!

The beautiful cardinal was stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with inks and an Aqua Painter.  I used the medium Cherry Cobbler marker (Blendabilities) to color in the little berries on the envelope.
