Hello Thursday!

I really need to use my Cricut machine more.  So I thought I would follow Cricut's example and post on Thursdays a project I created with my machine.  I used the Art Nouveau cartridge.  This image is Rose 2.  The sentiment is from a Paper Pumpkin (Stampin' Up) kit and the paper is by Recollections (Michael's brand).  Thanks for looking!

Wednesday's Wow!



I thought it would be nice to post on my Anything But a Card projects.  This is an altered cigar box.  As fantastic as SU DSP is, I'm still hooked on Graphic 45.  This is from their Steampunk Spells line.  The sides of the box were covered with K and Co. Halloween paper.  I used Tim Holtz box feet and some items from his Ideaology line.  Thanks for looking!

Tuesday's Technique

Today's card was inspired by The Stamper's Sampler Take Ten June/July/August 2013 issue.  On page 67, a technique, "Perfectly Painted," is discussed.  I thought it was an interesting way to add a little dimension without adding bulk.  I used a fuschia acrylic craft paint and I believe the sentiment is by Heidi Swapp.  The paper is scrap that I had.  Thanks for looking!

Sundays with Stampin' Up

I decided to return to the blogging world.  Hopefully, I'm here to stay.  

I thought I would start by promoting Stampin' Up.  I did start my card making hobby when I attended my friend, Carol's Stampin' Up workshop.  I had so much fun.  Ten years later I've decided to become a demonstrator for this wonderful company.  Today's project:

Paper:  Coastal Cabana and Whisper White card stock,  Winter Frost DSP
Ink:  Basic Gray
Stamps:  Petite Pairs, Christmas Collectibles
Misc: Silver 1/8" Ribbon, Christmas Ornament Punch
