I know what you're thinking........where in the heck have I been? Well, as usual, things have been quite busy here. Homecoming is this weekend.....so we've been dress shopping! The dress is gorgeous and so perfect for Amanda!
I also have been working very hard on a presentation for Saturday. Dawn Olchefske asked me to do a demonstration at her downline meeting. I am excited and nervous all at the same time! I've come up with some different ways to use a Holiday Mini product. I don't want to give away the surprise.....so I will share with all of you next week, okay?
Last week was also my monthly Christmas Card club. This month's cards are all cards that won't make the post office all mad. That's because these cards are all non-lumpy and non-bumpy! No extra postage needed for these cards!
Here's the simplest card we made:
The base card is Whisper White. I love using light colored base cards as there isn't a layer needed on the inside....those layers all add up to lumps and bumps!
Layer #2 is Night of Navy that's been embossed with the Pretty Petals embossing folder.
Layer #3 is Whisper White, and the gorgeous dove image is inked with Versamark ink and sprinkled with the brand new Pewter embossing powder. It's so elegant and rich looking! Once it's heated, I colored in the dove with my Two Way glue pen and sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds. This layer is matted on a 1/8" larger piece of Bravo Burgandy!
It's so incredibly sparkly! I can't even photograph how beautiful it is!!!!
Simple? Yes!!! Gorgeous? Definitely! The perfect holiday card to make lots and lots of? Oh yeah!!!!
I'll leave you with the card recipe in case you want to make it yourself. Of course, my ONLINE STORE is always open if you need to purchase any Stampin' Up! supplies.
I'll try not to take so long in between posts.....thanks for hanging in there!
