Home Sweet Home thinlet dies...inspiration from UK for mug

I visited...stampinwithvicky from the UK...and absolutely loved her idea to use this die for the mug...you use part of the haunted house....and cut it off just above where the arched window is...and used the part above that for the coffee mug lid....

Here is the thank you card I used for class in Oct

also used painter palette and timeless textures for the coffee spots...spills...love the cable embossing folder for the sleeve on the coffee...below is the inside of the card

Fiesta Birthday and FLoral birthday card from Oct class

I used the sugarplum ink and the sets....Crazy about you, Painters Paulette and Paisley & Posies ....the last one is from the holiday mini......used the edgelits for the leaves....aren't they great.    SU does such a great job with every detail...

 the small circle in the middle of the crazy for you flower is from the paisley set...love it...really makes the flower

close ups...used the DSP from the Blooms and Bliss in the catalog and the white paper used at the top of the front is from the holiday mini....The Fancy Frost specialty DSP..the white embossed area is raised....gorgeous paper....

 you can see the fancy frost paper better in this photo....

 Used the festive embossing folder and the fiesta birthday stamp set for this card...used the colors pacific point, red and yellow to pop this card...and just love love love those enamel embellishments....

 used lot of labels framelits....

 I did use the tree builder punch for the banner flowers...and the half inch punch for the middle one....

Using Lovely Stitching..cased card

I loved this set when I first saw it ....ordered it and then did one of Stacey Lisk's swaps and Donna Bagwell came up with this design....isn't it lovely...lol......I changed the stamps and colors but the design is hers.....did this in Red and black......adding the botannical edgelits for the center

 the leaves were from the Paisleys and Posies...used the black twine...and added all the rhinestones for it to pop...

 close ups...

 the inside...if I had it to do over again....would have added some texture to the inside phrase for it to pop....

Sitting Here using masking

Did a more ornate card for a swap....will post later.....this was a class card....both pillows were masked and then back was swiped direct to paper with marina mist for sky effect....you can choose to mask the bench or not.....

The cat was stamped on the rug and shadowed with memento ink.....the colors on the swing are flamingo, turquoise, daffodil, cobbler and garden green....swing stamped in memento and with blended pen crumb cake was added
