Making Cards!!!


Every spare moment I have, I have been making cards for the craft fair!
I am up to 140 cards so far! I think I am done with the Christmas Cards. Next the birthday cards!
One week to go!

Here is one of the Christmas Cards.
This card uses the stamp set Baroque Motifs.
The "Merry Christmas" is from a retired set.
The colors are old olive and purely pomegranate.
I've added some dazzling diamonds to the flowers using the 2 way pen.

The Creative Expo




I lent a hand at the Stampin' Up! booth for the Creative Expo. It was held at the Tradex in Abbotsford Nov. 9th -11th. Here is a picture of us all at the booth.

My mom, sister, and nieces joined me there. Here are my nieces doing the make 'n' take. (their cards tuned out really good too!!).

If you didn't make it this time, make sure you go next year! Lots of scrapbooking, quilting, sewing, rubber stamping, and much more. Plus they have classes going on during the day too!

It was great to be surrounded be so many talented and creative people!

Christmas Card Classes


Here are the Christmas cards we made in my classes on Thursday night and then again Saturday night.
The first one we used the Snow jumbo wheel from the Holiday mini. We used versamark ink and iridescent ice to get this look. Ballet Blue, Bashful Blue, and Whisper White card stock.

The second is a suspension card, made using the Naughty or Nice set from the Holiday Mini. The Holiday mini will be ending soon Nov. 30th. I used Dashing designer paper, Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla, and Real Red.





The Wreath Joy card was made using the snowflake from the set The Snowflake Spot.
The colors used here are Real Red, Old Olive, and Certainly Celery. We also used dazzling diamond glitter and the 2 way pen to add sparkle to the berries.

The last card uses the spotlight technique, where only the circle is colored in, leaving the rest black and white.
The set used here is Flaky Friends. Soft Sky and Purely Pomegranate are the card stock colors.

Thanks Ladies for two great evenings!
I hope you all had fun making these cards!

Sunday with the Stampin' Club



"What are those crazy ladies doing?", You ask!





We put on the gloves to create this card using the magic snowflake technique. For this technique you use alcohol and classic re-inkers, over a white embossed image. Covering it completely. You then use your heat tool to see the snowflake magically appear.




Making cards can get messy, but sure is lots of FUN!



Thanks Shireen for the great pictures!





We took off the gloves to make this bow, made from Stampin' Up! designer paper. They have a great promo on for the month of November: Buy 3 packs of designer paper get the 4th for free!
