Dill Blossom Paper SEI

i am in love with SEI's Dill Blossom paper. i bought the little 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 pad mix. it is textured paper! and feels so nice. the little flower on the envelope is from CTMH.

Metallic Color Challenge

i did this card for the Metallic Color Challenge for Card Makers Week over on the Moxie Fab blog.

i had a bit of trouble deciding what to do with pink and gold! then i saw the paper that i bought from SEI called Moonrise, and thought i could do the gold embossing and just change the colors. so this is what came out.

i soaked the paper with water, then added ink and let it spread where it wanted to. then i cut it out, whew! that took a while! but i like how it looks curled up on the edges.
i also used my plaid maker stamp from SU, and just did one strip of stripes.
i wanted it to be a clean & simple card. is it? i don't know, is embossing considered simple?

Feb Class/Paper Piecing

i know this is a blurry pic, but i wanted you to see what the 3rd card in the Feb class is going to be. the smaller it is the better the pic looks. i made this at the Scrapbook Haven, and i forgot my camera. this is from my phone, and it is not as good as Dave's phone's camera, that's for sure!

we are using Sea Salt Bazzill, Bo Bunny's Raspberry Dot, a brown plaid that we used in another card, and Close to My Heart stamp set: Let's Shop. on her shoes, and necklace are Hot Pink Rhinestones.

Feb Masking Class

this is another card we are making in our Feb Techniques class. it has Close to My Heart "With Love" stamps and Bazzil brown and blue papers, and Bo Bunny Raspberry Dot double sided paper. i just love those spiral brads! and that ribbon is wire edged, love that too.

"Green" Bow

I recently ordered some paper on sale from SEI, and it was packed with this wad of paper, it looked like a big brown piece of ribbon candy in the box. So I took it and wrapped some wire around the center to hold the shape. Then added a few things to the center and called it done. I just wish I would've taken before and during pictures, sorry I can't share that with you, but here is the finished box. It is a little larger than 12 inches.

Pretty Pastels Challenge

I combined 2 challenges for this card. The colors are from the Pretty Pastels Color Challenge for Card Makers Week over on the Moxie Fab blog. And the sketch is from MFT Getting Sketchy #3. I just love the My Mind's Eye paper, it makes the perfect wallpaper behind her, don't ya think?

Masking & PPA77 Sketch Challenge

This card accomplishes 2 things: Sketch Challenge PPA77 over on the Pals Paper Arts blog, & is a sample for my next class.

This is a quick card to help learn masking. The stamps are from Close to my Heart, called Welcome Home. The paper is SEI Chickadoo: Jibber Jabber, and Echo Park: Happy Holidays(brown plaid). The last class lasted a little longer than planned, because coloring takes time. So this one is going to be shorter and much more fun! Hope to you soon!
