Flying High

This is a card I have been wanting to make for a while, I love the Up Up and Away stamp set, For the clouds on this card I used the Scallop Circle and Cupcake Builder Punches to sponge around.
A Hot Air balloon ride has been on my husbands to do list for quite a while but it hasn't happened yet. I think it would be a great experience but just having that basket floor between me and the distance back to the ground is a bit off putting.

Christmas Blessing #2

Here's another card made using the Christmas Blessing Stamp set, if your looking for a quick and easy card to make for Christmas this is it. There are five layers on the front of this card which can be left off to make it an even quicker card, there's only the one small image (which is coloured) plus a sentiment and a bow. By using The Naturals White as a Base you don't need to add a piece inside for stamping your greeting on.

Christmas Blessings

My ladies made this card in class on Wednesday evening. It is one of Michelle Zindorf's tutorials.
Michelle does some amazing work and always shares her tutorials.
I loved the card so decided to have a go at it needless to say it was a hit with my Ladies. I did change a couple of things instead of using Craft White ink and Clear Embossing powder I used Versamark ink and White Embossing powder. By using the lattice Embossing folder as Michelle did it makes it look like Cross Stitch This would work with any outline flower image. If you would like to make one of these cards let me know and I will have another class for you and some friends or you can order the products used for this card through me.

Vellum Snowflakes

I saw this card by Andi Polter  and decided it would be a quick card to make i changed it up by using a few more Rhinestone Jewels and completely sponged the back of the vellum.
To make this card all you have to do is put a piece of vellum in the Snow Flurry Embossing folder and run it  through the Big Shot,  stamp your sentiment (on this card I have heat embossed the sentiment), sponge the back of the vellum with the same colour ink as your card base,  adhere this to the card base by adding a few glue dots where they won't show, then add a few Rhinestone brads and voila you have a finished card.
