Bring on the Cake HB

Customers have asked that I provide some 
masculine card samples.  One of my favorite sets 
for masculine birthdays is Bring on the Cake.  Don't 
get me wrong, it works for the ladies, too!  But some
of it's solid or block sentiments lean in a masculine direction.

Colors:  Very Vanilla, Basic Black, 
Champagne Glimmer Paper

Other:  Apothecary Accents Framelits,
Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies, Woodgrain Embossing Folder

Autumn Leaf on Block

Back to my favorite Big Shot Die; 
Autumn Accents Bigz.  What a great die for
creating leaves.  Because it is a die (rather than a framelit),
you can also make fabric or metal leaves... BONUS!

Colors:  Whisper White, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie,
Always Artichoke

Sets:  Apothecary Art, Gorgeous Grunge

Technique:  Ink acrylic stamping block on ink pad and
stamp on card stock

First Snowflake

I've been holding off with Christmas/winter projects,
but had the urge to post a snowflake today.
I had decided not to get the Festive Flurry bundle,
but later changed my mind.  I'm so glad that I did, 
because I love the snowflakes that you can make with
this bundle. They work well on cards, packages or hung
from your Christmas tree.

Colors:  Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper,
Wild Wasabi, Pistachio Pudding

Other:  Festive Flurry stamp set,  Festive Flurry
Framelits, Rhinestone, Silver 1/8 inch ribbon

Stampin Llamas September Blog Hop


Welcome to another Stampin' Llama Hop!
I know that you enjoyed Debbie's lovely projects
and Grandbaby pictures!

The Best of Halloween set is perfect for those
special treats, made with Stampin' Up'! Cellophane bags!
I enjoy roughing up the Halloween images with the 
Gorgeous Grunge set. It adds the perfect touch.

Sets:  Best of Halloween, Gorgeous Grunge

Colors: Whisper White, Basic Black,
Tangerine Tango

Other:  Chalk Talk Framelits,
Neutrals Candy Dots



This project also uses the Best of Halloween 
and Gorgeous Grunge sets.
 The central image is one of my favorites,
and the flying witch hats make me smile.
The framelits enable you to layer 2 framelits
together, creating a raised frame for your image.

Sets:  Best of Halloween, Gorgeous Grunge

Colors: Whisper White, Basic Black,
Tangerine Tango

Other:  Labels Framelits



 The Truly Grateful set in the Holiday catalog is
extremely elegant.  The images create a feeling of
fall and thankfulness.
In the project above, the grain image is embossed with
black embossing powder, to give it a more textured look.

Colors:  Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake,
Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse

Other:  Pearls, Summer Starfruit Ribbon


I hope that you have enjoyed my projects.
