creative elements stamp set round 2

This is another card I made with Stampin Up's creative elements  stamp set.  And yes, lots more embossing.  I admit, I am a little addicted.  

For top note, I embossed in clear and them brayered over it with crumb cake ink.  I embossed the sentiment area in new pewter embossing powder and then embossed the butterflies with cherry cobbler and melon mambo embossing powders.  Love new colors of embossing powder!

card for Shelli

Shelli Gardner founder of Stampin Up, had a birthday last month so they tried to get all the demos to send her cards.  This the card I sent using stamp set creative elements and first edition speciality dsp.   I love embossing so I did it for everything almost using some new embossing powders.

Holiday Stamp-a-stack

Here is a sneak peek of cards we are doing for my upcoming Holiday Stamp-a-Stack on Sunday November 13th.

Getting ready for Craft fair

I am doing a craft fair at the Barn- Holliston Historical Society 547 Washington St from 9:30 am-3 pm.  There will be almost 20 crafters there, so get a jump on your holidays and shop!

Grab bag snowman

Back in the spring- SU had some grab bag deals- for $5 or $15.  It was some simply scrappin kits and precut cardstock, ribbon, etc...  I got this precut card stock and figured it worked well with Christmas theme.  It almost was like "chopped" for stamping- here are your ingredients come up with a card.

Luckily, the snow much fun stamp set image fit pretty close in the white.  I used this card for a recent stamp a stack.  I wanted to showcase some new Holiday mini products:
1) punched out "snowball" in silver glimmer paper
2) used dazzling details around snowman body

morning cup tea-riffic

I love the designer series paper in Stampin Up's Holiday mini catalog called "spice cake".  I used it for my inspiration for this card using stamp set called Morning cup.  I water colored the images using markers and did a little paper piercing.  Fall weather just makes you want more warm beverages.

sweet pressed cookies

I ordered these sweet pressed cookies- and so much fun- stamping and baking.  Kids would love this.

You make your favorite sugar or short bread cookie recipe from scratch or box and chill dough.  Then rolls into 1.5 inch balls and them press the the cookie press with your choice of design into the dough. (kids would love this)

So this was after I pressed them out.

This was after they were baked, they come out huge!  And in words of Rachel Ray "yumm-o".
