Double Embossing

This were the cards I made for my top 3 in sales for May.  I double embossed them.  I love the look.  I stamped first then embossed with the square lattice embossing folder.  Then I ran it through the Big shot using the Framed Tulips embossing folder.  Great texture!

A White House Christmas

My husband calls this the White House Christmas card because he said it reminds him of their annual ornaments. For this card I used Real Red and Night of Navy. I textured the Night of Navy with the Big Shot and colored the stamp in with both colors. The stamp is from the Holiday Best Hostess Level 1 stamp set. You can earn it FREE with workshop or personal sales of $150.

Two Beautiful Blooms

I saw a card similar to this and then changed most of it but kept the flower idea. I am going to miss the Echoes of Kindness Hostess stamp set, I love the saying but there are so many new wonderful stamp sets in the new catalog. I can't wait to share it with you after July 1st.

Keep an eye out here though for some sneak peeks. I am finally getting my order delivered tomorrow with some sneak peek items that I will share with you before the first of July. I can't wait for you to see the new IN COLORS! You are going to love them.

Color Throwdown #43

When I saw the colors this week I knew I had to do something floral. This is what I came up with the for the color throwdown challenge. I used markers to color in the flowers after stamping them in Basic Black. I used my neglected Stamp-a-ma-jig on my words to stack them on top of each other. I realize I need to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig more often because it is so easy and fun to use.

Hostess Set

When you hostess a workshop in your home, you can earn free stamp sets depending on the sales. This card is made using a level 2 hostess set, Echoes of Kindness. I copied this card from one I saw on another site by Vivian. I loved the idea. I am using this for my Card Buffet as well. I think it is beautiful how you can use 2 colors of markers to get the shading on the flower.
