Miracle Star-Wow Embossing Indeed

Hello everyone and Happy Back to School Week. This year, our little girl is in Kindergarten 3 days a week, so I've got a little me time to do things. Yesterday was her first day, and she absolutely LOVED it. Gotta love when your children love school, and we are so blessed to have both of them in that mind set.

Today, I'm sharing with you a project I created for the Wow Embossing Powders blog and I truly think it is my favorite project to date. I created it using a lot of double embossing and I think it will become our new tree star for Christmas. If you want to see more of the project and see what supplies I used, hop on over to the Wow Embossing Powder blog to see.

Here is the finished products using Wow Embossing Powders, May Arts ribbons, Helmar adhesive and Basically Bare pieces.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I would love to hear what holiday decoration around your home, you love the most.

Also, there is a education team call going on right now on the Helmar blog and a great friend Susan Weckesser, has a design team call up now too.

Until next time

With Love

There is just something so gorgeous about browns and blues together. They take me to an almost Victorian state of mind, where everything is old yet beautiful. I actually think it is one of my favorite color combinations and when i saw the new Sheer Square print in Brown/Blue, I knew i had to have some. So off I went to get some.


Did you know there are some amazing embellishments you can by now at Really Reasonable Ribbon??? Those vintage brads are calling my name.

Here is the card I created using the Sheer Square print. So soft yet so versatile. I also used a JustRite stamp for the sentiment. I think I've gotta get some more of those stamps. They are great to work with.

Over at the Reasonable Ribbon Blog, you can get a little more information about how I created the flower. I think I'm calling it a Mum. Mums are such a beautiful flower. Do you have a favorite flower? Let us know.

Hope you all have a fantastic day.

Some sweetness to share

Hello Everyone. I hope you all had an absolutely wonderful weekend. Today I am going to share with you a card that I think is very different than any other that I've done. The image is not what I'd regularly do, but when I received this little sweetheart in the mail from About Art Accents, I had to stamp him. So here he is, Splish Splash Bath.



I glazed the entire cup with Glossy Accents. Then started all the coloring. For the image i used markers, color pencils and gamsol, and glaze pens. Super cute and this little guy is a part of a set. I hope you all enjoyed todays creation. He was a real treat to make.

Supplies:
Accessories: cream pearls (Kaiser Craft), green velvet ribbon, lace ribbon, orange jewel brad (Frightful:Little Yellow Bicycle)
Coloring agents: Versafine Black Onyx, glaze pens, le plume markers, color pencils, gamsol, glitter pens
Die cuts- Labels 1 (Spellbinders)
Paper: Card stock- Ocean Tides, Spring Rain (PTI), Bella Bleu (SU), sage scrap patterned paper
stamps: Splish Splash Bath- About Art Accents
Tools: Scor-pal, Purple Cows 2-in-1 trimmer, Big Shot, heat gun

My first Card Patterns Challenge

Hi everyone and I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend.

I did my first ever challenge for Card Patterns. it was a sketch which you will see below. I hope you enjoy the card. This site really looks like a keeper, so if you love challenges, go take a look at Card Patterns
I decided to take some inspiration from the Basic Grey Challenge this week and use a Brown and Blue combo. I really like the look. As my sister says, kinda Victorian"ish". I used SU Brocade and bashful blue as well as Chocolate Chip. The pretty paper is also from SU and is the Bella Bleu Collection. Gosh diggity darn I love this line.
I used a few different stamps on the card. The large flourish is from Innovative Stamp Creations (another favorite) a little flourish on the Nesties blue oval, which I haven't a clue whom the maker is. Then i had a wonderful sentiment on acrylic that I stuck onto kraft SU paper about friends. Isn't that a great quote???

Lastly, I used a prima flower from the Da Vinci tube, 2 different colors of ribbon, and cut out the flourish stamp to add balance from top to bottom. Adding a few pearls that I painted with Shimmerz in Coffee, and a few little dots of cinnamon SticklesThis one was a trip to make and I hope you adore it, just like I do.
Thanks again for stopping by. I love the visitors and love to read your comments about my projects.
Happy Crafting
