Today's card is one I made on Thursday evening during my Facebook live. I saw the idea of using one of the splatters from the Artisan Textures stamp set from a card created by Rochelle Laird-Smith. Although I couldn't remember which splatter it was! I had 3 different splatters on blocks by the time I finally realized that it was the largest splatter that would get the effect I wanted. The splatters are stamped off onto my grid paper before stamping over the birds. This way it lightens up the ink to allow the bird image to pop. The next step was to cut out the image using the Nested Label dies and then to assemble the card. To embellish the card a bit I added 3 pearls and some Clear Wink of Stella to the birdies. The sparkle doesn't show well in the picture above but its there!

Watch the Facebook Live below and join me on Thu Oct 3rd at 7pm EDT for my next one:

Swap cards are fun to make! The hardest part is choosing which product from the Holiday Catalogue I was going to use. Decided that for this swap I would do a fall theme as my other swap card was Christmas.  Did you n now the label on each pack of designer series paper lists the colours? I chose Pretty Peacock, Crushed Curry and Early Espresso from the colours listed.

This pocket page uses the same pack of designer series paper as my last pocket page I shared on Sep 17 - the First Frost Specialty designer series paper but it has a different look and feel to it. This designer series paper is very versatile and I love the silver foil. Although if you watch me colouring in the snowflakes in the video you can tell that bright lights and silver foil make it hard to keep the colour between the lines!

This was one of the cards we made at this month's Cards & Chocolate class. Although this particular card is sympathy you could change the sentiment for any occasion! I may make a few more of this card for Christmas! For card classes I try to show different sentiments but then have a few different ones on hand so that class attendees can choose which would work best for their own cards. The Here's A Card stamp set has come wonderful sentiments for year-round use!

After embossing the Crumb Cake layer with the Woodlands embossing folder we sponged the raised part using a Sponge Dauber and Crumb Cake Ink. We also sponged around the edge of the oval to give it some dimension as well. The Copper Foil piece was glued into the oval and then popped up on dimensionals. A piece of Linen Thread tied in a bow completed the card.

I would love to see you at the next Cards & Chocolate class on Wednesday October 9th. Check out the details on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/446114642920993/

These random photos taken in Manitoba, where we lived for a few years, are the perfect match for the Feels Like Frost specialty designer series paper. One side of the designer series paper has photographic images on one side and designs with silver foil on the other.
