Bermuda Bay Christmas

Here's a card using the new shimmer paint, Frosted White. The shimmer paint was sprayed on using a little rubbing alcohol mixed with the paint in a bottle. Very easy to do and the results are pretty, though it is hard to see in the photo. You must take my word for it. The paper is textured Bermuda Bay and textured Brocade Blue. Inks used are Taken with Teal and Night of Navy. The stamps are Serene Snowflakes and the words are from Christ is Born.

Thanksgiving Easel Card

I found this easel card at SplitCoast and thought I'd try it. We made it last month at my Make-N-Take and it was a huge hit. I love the simple gold embossing and how elegant the card looks. I mailed one out today to my sister in South Carolina and I hope she likes it. Sending cards at Thanksgiving is something I'm trying to do more of because I want people to know how thankful I am for being in my life.
Have a blessed day!

Latte Love in Fall!

This is one of the cards we made Monday night at my Make-N-Take. I used the sketch from this weeks MoJo 109 challenge.
The Font of You stamp set is so easy to use and one that I haven't used too much lately. The mug is stamped in Pumpkin Pie then using a Blender Pen we took off the "steam" and the "latte" after that we just filled them in with the Soft Suede marker. To create the "table" you use a post-it note to mask off the top of the card stock and dip a sponge in Chocolate Chip ink and there you go! The card stock used is Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry textured.

Shimmer Ornament MoJo 105

WOW! It's been a while since I last had me some MoJo! I've had this Delightful Decorations stamp set for a while along with the new Shimmer Paint and have finally used them. It's hard to see the pretty shimmer on the ornament and the vanilla circles, but believe me its there. I used the spray bottle technique with alcohol to add the shimmer. Very easy, just put a little alcohol and a few drops of your choice paint, shake it up and then spray! I think I'll do all my Christmas cards with it because it's so pretty in real life.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a blessed day,

Sympathy

This was my first attempt with the brayer. I love how the card came out and the colors are so soothing together. We made this at last months Make-N-Take and it was so popular that we'll be doing another brayed card this month. Unfortunately, I had to make more of these cards because we had two funerals in a 2 weeks span. I guess that's how it goes sometimes,
For this card I used:
stamps: Autumn Days, Thoughts & Prayers
paper: Whisper White, Soft Suede textured, Razzle Berry
ink: So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip
accessories: brayer, brads, sponging

Witches make the best brew!!

I made this card for the "Halloween" challenge at "Pals Paper Arts" It's been a while since I last did a challenge. The end of summer was a little crazy and today was the first day back to school! I love the fall, the smells, the food, the colors, and the routine! I guess I'm just one of those people who need structure. Well have a blessed day everyone!
