CARD: Enjoy Every Moment

Products Used:
~CTMH Enjoy Every Moment Stamp Set
~CTMH White Daisy Cardstock
~Copic Sketch markers
~CTMH misc. embelishments

The video that highlights this technique is Partial Embossing with a Cuttlebug Folder.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time!

Diaper Cake Topper

A friend of mine was creating a diaper cake for a co-workers baby shower. She asked me to create a "cake topper." This is what I came up with based on her instructions:

Products Used:
~American Crafts Glitter Paper
~Bildmalarna - 8800 BABY Stamp
~Copic Markers

What do you think?

Until next time!

CARD: Happy Holidays - Thanksgiving

I've never made a Thanksgiving card before but decided to give a try. Here is what I came up with:

Products Used:
~CTMH Olivia Paper Pack & coordinating colors
~CTMH A Little More Thanks Stamp Set (November 2010 Stamp of the Month Set)
~CTMH Mini-Medley Accents Pear Collection
~Cuttlebug Embossing Machine
~Cuttlebug A2 Victoria Embossing Folder
~CTMH Colonial White Waxy Flax

The embossing idea came from an episode on Stamp TV, which can be found here: Raised Frame Card. I've also posted the video below; however, I highly recommend visiting Stamp TV yourself for some great project ideas and tutorials.

THANKS - Mix & Mingle Banner

Here is my take on a "THANKS" banner using the Close to My Heart My Creations® Mix & Mingle Album.

I intend and putting "WINTER" or some other holiday themed phrase on the second side of the album.
