Orlando loves to dance and sing......this guy just reminded me of him...ol

 Used the woodlands folder on the inside with the snowman from the set in the mini...

Creating perfect layers video

If you follow the directions on this video....you will have perfect layers...this was my first video

Hearth and Home Edgeits and Wonderfland set

Stayed with the pool party...love that color.....Used the Versatile Christmas phrase Maerry Christmas from that set..it doesn't show well but it is embossed in silver....nothing is popped...

 It can't be seen in the photo but the glitter pen was used with dazzling diamonds on the trees for the snow effect....

Sleigh ride edgelit peace card....

Used Night of navy for the background....and layers of white for the rest of the card...

 the sleigh piece is popped up....

Cards I have sent out and sent to others

Love this snowman..and love the red glitter scarf.....and the falling snow folder....

This Christmas set is available as the bundle in the occasion mini......just use punch and DSP...makes a great card...

 This wreath makes a cute quick card....

I played with this for awhile and was really satisfied with the results...did the sky in night of navy and the smoky slate for the middle layer and basic gray for the bottom so the sleigh would pop....glued them on a piece of night of navy and trimmed.......and added the peace in two different way....I didn't but the dazzling diamonds glitter paper would really be nice.....make it a WOW...lol

Birthday card for friend

This is a case of one of my class card...love the paper and flower so much...I used it in a birthday card....this foil looking paper is wonderful....and so glad the punch is still available in the Occasion mini coming up...used the fun fold technique for card base...the front hide the saying...

 and then the stamp from the occasion mini fit behind the birthday wishes from Wetlands...and the rectangle piece from Chalktalk framelits....

 used the black glitter  paper for 2 " circle and for the 1 3/4 circle used a stamp from the Occasion mini...the middle of the flower is black glitter paper....and that is a rhinestone...not red as shown....my concrete on the porch is a reddish...think that is where is was picked up...lol

All Ye Faithful

Sorry for the lousy pictures...usually try to take outside but with weather for dreary...that wasn't happening....lol   This is the completed card.....the star is from the set Every Blessing in the regular catalog

the inside is very vanilla with silver foil paper and night of navy embossed in silver

 the front of the card....used the trio punch for the corners...

used vellum and silver foil for the belly band..

Joyful Season

 Used the Oval collection to frame the cardinal..and popped the top whisper white piece..

 colored the rhinestones with a red permanent sharpie..

Occasion mini set....Happy Home set

Love this set for a simple card....

 used the direct to paper for the grass...and sponged the sky with soft sky

Timeless Love step card

Used Marina Mist as base and the envelope paper for the sides and the oval collection...

 use the stamp-a-ma-jig....easier to center.....I did mine without...whatever works for you

 saying and floral is embossed in black....the Corner Garden is stamped in Watermelon...

 the floral was colored in cucumber, watermelon, marina and honey

From Land to sea and By the Tide

Used both sets for this corner flip card....have wanted to make this card but didn't take the time....

 love this turtle...he is embossed in black and crystal effects are on the shell....really pops in person...

 sponged pool party and mossy, with a little daffodil on top of navy lettering...

 in class ....did not use the dots around the turtle...just on the base of the card...

OnStage faux illusion swap

Did this one the road....just wanted the technqiue idea with the birch tree look.....tried several things that had not been done and settled on this one...

  used white craft ink on trees after going through  the embossing folder with mossy ink....I used a dauber and q-tips to color in the white craft on branches......

 then used the suede marker for the trees....
