Nature Walk

Nature Walk is another of the stamp sets from the current Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.

I colored directly onto the flower stamp using Rose Red and Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Markers and then stamped the image three times without reinking. The embossed background was done using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. These embossing folders make a beautiful background so easy.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit. See you again soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday with your families and are looking forward to a yummy meal. My family is going to my nephew's for dinner and the only thing that my nephew requested is my famous pumpkin pie. I baked 8 pies last night and am just about to sit down to watch the Macy parade on television. After the parade I plan to get to work on making a couple of vegetable dishes to go along with the smoked turkey and ham my nephew is making. I can't wait because I'm making myself hungry already.

Thanks for spending a little of your day with me.

Not Quite Sure About This One

This card is giving me absolute fits. I'm not happy with the card and wanted to post it to get some honest feedback. I typed up my post, attempted to post it and then accidentally deleted it. I started the post again and then somehow went ahead and posted it before it was finished. So......I'm going to try this again.

I used the Tags Til Christmas stamp set, Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Deck the Halls Designer Paper. I punched out small circles, adhered them on the triangular line and then covered them in Crystal Effects. I also added Crystal Effects to the pinecone.

I think the thing I don't like about the card is the lack of interest on the Always Artichoke card base. It needs some texture or a little somethin' somethin', but I'm not sure what. Any input would be appreciated because I'm always up for some constructive criticism.

Thanks for stopping by and for any suggestions you might have.

Day of Gratitude

See, I promised I wouldn't post another Christmas card. It seems that I skipped Thanksgiving so that is what I am sharing today.

The leaf image is from Day of Gratitude and I used the rock 'n' roll technique with Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink.
The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Cardstock is Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla and the Designer Paper is Autumn Spice. Both the stamp set and the Designer Paper is from the current Holiday Mini Catalog on page 12/13.

Thanks for visiting.

Holly Leaf Lines

Are you sick of the Christmas cards yet? I promise that my next post won't be Christmas if you just bear with me today.

This card uses the holly image from Leaf Lines and a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used Cherry Cobbler (isn't that a surprise!), Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla cardstock and the yummy Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding that can be found on page 21 of the Holiday Mini Catalog. The Deck the Halls Designer Paper can also be found in the Holiday Mini on page 18.

Hope you come back in a couple of days to see my non-Christmas card.
