Bermuda Anniversary

August 16, 2009 in
Do you like the new In Colors? I have been playing with colour combinations for the last few weeks. The next few days I will be searching for some good combos for Christmas Cards. This year the 6 new colours are missing a green and a red. But that makes it a good challenge!

Today's card is a case. But I cannot remember which card I saw on Splitcoaststampers that inspired me! It could be either this one, or this or another one I haven't found as of yet!

Supplies
Stamps: Circle Circus, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Really Rust
Paper: Bermuda Bay, Really Rust, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Soft Suede Polka Dot Grosgrain ribbon
p.s. I spent the weekend working on my blog, can you tell? I still have some housekeeping things to go over, but I really like the end result. Next it's on to the real housekeeping here at home! Enjoy!

Aluminum is so cool!

August 03, 2009 in ,
There is a list of about 50 some odd things you can use in the Big Shot and aluminum foil is one of them (although the list says only for Bigz and Originals Dies but I figured that aluminum might work well with the texturz plates since it is similiar to cardstock in thickness). You still need to do some trial and error, because I tried a different plae - damask and it ripped the aluminum foil at a few places.

Supplies
Stamps: Party Hearty, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, Crushed Curry, Basic Black
Paper: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Crushed Curry, heavy duty aluminum foil
Accessories: Big Shot texturz plates, stampin' dimensionals

Simple Heart

August 02, 2009 in ,
I'd class this card in the clean and simple category. If I make this card again I think I will make the scalloped edge even with the back. The uneven front-to-back makes the card look weird when you try to stand it up. Oh well.


Supplies
Stamps: Always
Ink: Pretty In Pink, Regal Rose
Paper: Very Vanilla, Pretty In Pink
Accessories: Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, stampin' dimensionals, scallop border punch

Thinking of Chocolate!

July 22, 2009 in
Wow! It's almost the end of July, when did we get here? I recently got my order of new product and catalogues this week. And I cannot wait to break out the new goodies and show you my work!

Today's card is one of my new fav colour combos. I really like chocolate! mm, chocolate. The centre Very Vanilla strip is up on dimensionals with a little twig of ribbon up in the top right corner. Did you miss it? It is kinda hard to see in the photo. The chocolate chip layer underneath is stamped with versamark to create a hint of a pattern.

You'll have to come back and check later this week for an updated workshop and classes post. I will have 2 different ones to choose from and I cannot wait to share all the cool items from the new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue. If you are interested in laying your hands on a physical copy please let me know so I can get one to you. Or you can always download it from the bar on the right side of the screen.
