Bright Blossoms embossed label framelit with fabric brad

The Summer Smooches promotion is in full swing! The card above shows the fabric brad, designer paper, seam binding, and stamp set you can buy this month - and they'll all be in the new catalog coming out June 1! The stamp set is called Bright Blossoms. I used a label framelit, which I embossed, and punched a Word Window punch in the middle to thread the Daffodil Delight seam binding through so I could tie a knot. The sentiment is from the Short & Sweet stamp set.

Snow Much Fun and Timeless Portrait dsp

I broke open my pack of Timeless Portrait dsp so I could play with new colors for my Snow Much Fun Christmas card. This card is Island Indigo, which is a first for me. Using a sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I made this card for my American Ink team meeting swap. The sentiment is from Short & Sweet.

How are you doing on your Christmas cards? I've got a 10-card class on Thursday at 6 p.m. if you need more. Email me by Tuesday at ericandterry@comcast.net. Thanks!

Glittery red Tree Trimmings card for class and sketch

It's so easy to add sparkle and shine to Christmas cards, especially with this Tree Trimmings stamp set and the red polka-dotted paper in the Holly Berry Bouquet dsp pack. This card is one of three we'll make tonight in a class. It's Very Vanilla and Real Red, with Dazzling Diamonds glitter applied with a 2-way glue pen. The ornaments are hanging by Cherry Cobbler/Whisper White Baker's Twine, and the sentiment is from the Short & Sweet set. I used the sketch provided this week at Stamping 411, but was too late to link up!

Good "Love Impressions" for Valentine's Day...

This card is all Blushing Bride and Basic Gray - right off of the Love Impressions specialty designer paper. I ran Whisper White card stock through the Two Tags die for the Big Shot, sponged around it witih Blushing Bride, added a big designer button with dimensionals, and a knot of that fabulous Blushing Bride 1/2" stitched-poly ribbon. The three hearts are from a single stamp from the I "Heart" Hearts set (page 46 of the big catalog), punched out with the 3-heart punch and adhered with dimensionals. This card was CASE'd from Andrea Walford with changes. Oh, and the "love you" is from the Short & Sweet set in the big catalog, stamped in Basic Gray ink.
