Christmas 2017

I

This year, I decided to use the Lawn Fawn Shut the Front Door Die Set. What a better way to celebrate our home than to recreate the front of it on a card. This is the most detailed Christmas card that I have ever made! I stamped Merry Christmas using my Misti on the door mat.  I cut a brick stencil using my Silhouette Cameo; however, if you do not have a cameo, you can get a brick stencil.  I used texture paste and Tim Holtz distressed fired brick ink to make the brick background.  The paste makes it feel like real brick.  I cut the lights and door number out with the silhouette also.  I used orange stickles for the glow of the lights and liquid glass to make the lights look like glass.

When you open up the door....

Surprise!  I created a Christmas tree using stickles and red enamel.  To create the floor, I embossed paper with a wood embossing folder, cut a strip to give the illusion of depth into the home.


The inside of the house, I used a Simon Says Stamp that says:

From Our House to Yours

Merry Christmas

and Happy New Year

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

I See You!

 Happy Halloween Everyone!  I had the best time with the Stampin Up Jar of Haunts Stamp Set.  After stamping and coloring my image, I used liquid glass to make the jar look more authentic.  I even used liquid glass on the rims of the jar to make them stand out.  Below is close up of the jar:

Next, to add a little spooky fun element to the card, I added three shaky eyeballs.

Don't you just love these yes looking at you?

Next, I was super surprised to open up my stash of ribbon and find this ribbon to go inside.  How perfect!  Plus I made my own sentiment to go with the card!!!

 Hope you have a Haunting Halloween!  Thanks for creeping by........

Halloween Card

I am working on designing my Halloween Cards for the year.  I thought I would fall in love with this stamp set, but I have found it hard to work with and create some wonderful.  I used one stamp to go around the circle so it looks like green slime.  I put liquid glass on the container and hopefully, it looks like eyeballs are falling out of the jar.

Prayers

I have had many things to pray about lately.  I thought it might be nice to send a simple card to someone on my prayer request list.The white and purple backgrounds have been embossed using an embossing folder and the word prayers was die cut and then heat embossed with black embossing powered,
