And, as an added bonus, here is a card we made at my first Christmas Card Class of the season. These cards are not for the weary.  Just not how I roll :(  It's a disease.  I also made this card for a national swap I participated in this month.  22 of these bad boys :)  Kimmy inspired the ornament, but I actually did the rest myself :)

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Four the Season

Paper: Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, NEW coaster board

Ink: Old Olive, Crumb Cake

Tools: Big Shot, stripes embossing folder, ornament keepsakes framelits, distressing tool, sanding tool, dauber

Accessories: natural ribbon, Christmas washi tape, dimensionals

 

TECHNIQUE ALERT!

The girls learned a few new things making this card.  The distressing tool is awesome for roughing up your cards.  It adds that weathered look that I'm really digging right now.

It also uses the Direct to Paper technique.  It's exactly what it sounds like.  Just take the ink pad and use it directly on the cardstock.  No need for sponges or daubers.  Good for times when precision is not necessary.

 

The other technique was inking the embossing folder.  If you've seen previous posts about this method, I used the brayer.  This time it was direct to folder with the ink pad.  I just rubbed inside the folder for a more weathered look.  This one took a while, but everyone seemed to be happy with their final product!

 

I love being with my girls!  I had a blast with you today!  See ya Thursday for club night!!!!

 

 

 

 

Pink Glitter Paper?

So I saw this in our monthly magazine.  Did you look at it on yesterday's post?  I saw that you can color the silver glitter paper any color you want.  So, I had to try it.  I originally had a real red background and used Real Red Ink with a dauber on the silver glitter paper.  Well, as you can see, it didn't turn out to be red.  It turned out pink.  I had to change my card base.  So, moral of the story...you might have to play around with the colors to find what you like.  When you use the dauber, I would suggest using the heat tool to set the ink.  It gets all over your fingers if you don't set it first :)

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Tiny Tags
Ink: Real Red (but ended up pink), basic black
Paper: Pretty in Pink, White, silver glitter paper
Tools: Big Shot, wreath embossing folder, ornament keepsakes framelits, corner rounder punch, scallop trim border punch
Accessories: regal rose 1/8" ribbon, mini brads, glue dots, dimensionals
