Peace on Earth Card

One more card that we made this week in my class---Peace on Earth.  This set has a variety of sentiments that can be used for many different occasions.  The Book Fold is a different fold that creates a unique fold.  We used Misty Moonlight 2-Tone Card Stock in the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder and sanded it with a sanding block I got from Amazon.  It brings out the inner white of this card stock. Each card turns out a bit different.  Love doing this! The dove has a bit of Wink of Stella on the wings that give it a little sparkle.  Enjoy-----Susie

Now to the Fall Card---

This card truly signals that Autumn is on its way.  The ladies last night thoroughly enjoyed making this easy card.  They especially like the faux stitching done with a white gel pen, which meant a trip to Hobby Lobby (I'm always looking for a reason to go there)!

It may not show up well, but the Early Espresso is die cut, then embossed.  Don't emboss it first, then die cut---it smooshes the embossing.  Found that out the hard way!  Enjoy this card--the supplies are from the September Online Exclusives. ~~~Susie

Amber Autumn Card

The leaves are beginning to change signaling Autumn is on its way.  Here's an amazing card (that's in the Sept-Dec Mini) that features a beautiful bottom layer.  It uses and intricate die that sets the tone for the whole card. And yes, we're making this next week at my classes! 


I used an adhesive sheet on the back of the Earthen Tone Metallic Paper before running it through the Emboss & Die Cut Machine.  It made adhering it to the card base easier.  I did run it back and forth twice to get a solid cut.  Use watercolor pencils and blender pens to color in the pumpkins.  You don't need to color the image solid because the blender pens fills it all in.  The irregular weave ribbon adds just the right touch to complete the card.  Enjoy----Susie

Amber Autumn Bundle, Earthen Tone Metallic Paper, and Irregular Weave Ribbon available Sept 3rd

Just For Jamie

I'm getting ready to head to So Cal for Jamie's 4th Birthday!!!  Hard to believe.....Here's the card I made for him.  He loves dogs, so this set seemed to work.

The Long Time No See set not only has a llama, but a cute, wiener dog (I've got a beagle, so this is close).

The DSP is retired, but any multi-color paper works.  Something easy and simple to make!
