Close to Cocoa Celebration

Pink and brown is one of my fav color combos.  This SU DP has a splash of blue thrown in; not sure what it's called.  Love the rick rack velvet ribbon and the celebrate banner - gold ribbon with clear acetate over it and popped up.

Thanks for visiting.

Barely Banana Birthday

The holidays are done and what a whirlwind. I may not have posted anything, but I was not idle. My card stash was low on birthday cards, so I created a few, which I will be showing you over the days to come.

Here is the first. It's very easy to make.

Thanks for visiting.

Joy Ornament

My mojo is working tonight!!!

I did the ornament a couple days ago and put the rest of the card together tonight in about a half an hour - that's the quickest I've ever put a card together!!

I saw this ornament done this way on Dreaming About Rubber Stamps by Darlene McCallum (click here to view) and knew I had to make one. I stamped the ornament three times. The one in green I added sparkles; punched them out with their very own ornament punch; scored and folded them down the middle and glued them together. The DP is from last year - can't find the name of it. I added some bling and a sentiment and Voila!!

Silver and Blue

Here's Dasher heat embossed in silver, matted with Brilliant Blue and again in a textured silver paper I had. The front of the card is embossed with my handy dandy Cuttlebug Dots. I then took a piece of the new Bride DP and edged it with Martha Stewart's snowflake punch, put a bow on it (from Michaels, I think) and then layered Brocade Blue CS behind the snowflakes.

Holiday Trees

With the last card being so finiky, I thought I would do simple one.

Stamped ands cut out the trees, then heat embossed with chunky clear embossing powder. Popped them up on a green mulberry paper, which is on creamy caramel CS on really rust CS. Using cc ink, I stamped and stamped off snowflakes, as I did with the star. The sentiment is in cc ink as well, with some chocolate around it. Add some red bling and voila, it's done!!

Happy Holidays

I saw a white card the other day and thought I must try that. And here it is.






White and silver ribbon around embossed white CS layered on silver CS.





The sentiment is painstakingly cut out - both layers!! It was pretty finiky cutting around all those swirls. Under that I used a spellbinders shape (not sure what it's called but I'm sure you recognize it). I really like how it came out.

Square in a Square in a Square

This is my take on a card we did in card class. I wasn't crazy about the colors used, so I came home and chose my own colors. Love that shimmery brown and red together. This was FUN!!

Gold embossing on the real red CS; simmery brown CS with red rhinestones. Stampin Up stamps used are Season of Joy and Holiday Collection; sentiment is one I found somewhere.

Patterned Pines

Just a quick post. I put lots of small embellies on this one. It was fun!!

Sparkly Trees

I stamped the single tree from Lovely As a Tree in both Handsome Hunter and Old Olive a few times onto Naturals White CS. Distressed with Creamy Caramel. Matted with the two greens and put on a CC CS. I then sparkled only the main tree. Ribbon is a find frm Michaels.





I used the swirl and the sentiment from Delightful Decorations stamp set to do the tag.

Little Birdie

This is another image from my friends set. Gotta love them.























This one started out as a quilt card, but I sort of got carried away. I do like it tho.


Hope you enjoy!!

TFL!
