This is a card I made for my workshop last Monday. It uses vanilla card stock and mellow moss. The background on the card uses the weathered background stamp set with creamy caramel ink. The leaves are embossed in gold glory embossing powder, then i stamped the Thank You on creamy caramel card stock with the same ink color and punched it out using the large word window punch. The set used is called Stem Silhouettes from the mini winter catalog. A link to the catalog is in a few posts back. If you scroll down you will see it. Then next card I show you will be using this same weathered stamp but will look completely different. The two eyelets at the top of the card I put in after as people at the demonstration wanted to see how to do eyelets. I need to get the gold cord now to tie a bow in the two holes, I think that will complete the card nicely.

Look at all you can make with a Simply Scrappin Kit

No stampin involved just inventive ideas from my upline. I want to teach a class on this and use the Secret Garden Kit. Its really nice, it has a lot of greens and floral stuff. Totally girly which I really like to use when I can seeing how I have a husband and two boys. Don't get to do too many girly scrapbook pages or cards. Erika, my stampin mom, upline inspiration, said in her blog that this kit is her FAVORITE EVER Simply Scrappin' kit and I am tending to agree.

The little pink triangle has hershey kisses in it, well it did untill I decided I needed chocolate. All of the projects above were made with the Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' Kit.

Here is the Card I came up with for the new Snow bursts set

The snowflakes were smaller than I thought they would be but that was ok, that just meant I could stamp more of them on my card front. I used night of navy for the base and thought people could print up a nice personal christmas greeting on their computer and attach it to the inside you can get 4 on a page and it will fit perfect. Then I used bashful blue for the card front with ballet blue ink for stamping the snowflakes. Then for the accessories, jazz it up a little with white gross grain ribbon, I thought it would be fun to stamp on it and see what that looked like. You can't really see the ballet blue on it but it looks cute in person. Then of course you can't do a snowflake card without dazzling diamond glitter. I used my 2-Way Glue Pen to go over certain parts of the snowflakes that I thought should sparkle and then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds glitter over them. Remember to tap off the extra and put it back in your glitter containter. Ooh Lala, I love glitter. Then I used my night of navy ink pad to match the base cardstock for the greeting. Adhere it all together and this is what I got.
