Thankful for leaves

This was my swap for November's club meeting last night. I used individual images from the Jumbo Wheel "Bright Blessings" (p 28, 115626). I love cutting apart the wheels to get a BUNCH of images at a low price! I'm starting to really like the color Cajun Craze for fall. And I didn't think I'd like it at all! Give it a try!

Do you smell pumpkin????

Scratch-n-sniff is always a favorite technique at my events, and everybody had fun making this yummy pumpkin! We mixed a tiny bit of Allspice into clear embossing powder, then stamped the pumpkin from Paisley Prints in Pumpkin Pie Craft ink and embossed it. The room smelled GREAT!

Monster Candy

I forgot to upload this last week!

We made this at October's club meeting using the Make a Monster set and the Candy Wrapper die. So easy and fun! One of the great things about the clear mount Make a Monster set is the ability to build a "face" on a clear block, and then apply it to the monster all at once! Super fun! We used the Illuminate Top Coat Smooch to give the eyes a spooky shimmer.

Modern Speckled Daisies

I made a stack of these for my sister-in-law's birthday recently. I've been trying to be more conscious of making cards that are easy to mail. These are very flat in the envelope, but the flowers and centers give them some depth anyway.

M&M Owls

About a year ago, I bought some of these cellophane tubes, but they just sat in my drawer. Then my friend Paula did some with the owl punch, and I had to copy her! Aren't they cute?

Downline Swaps

These are some of the cards we made at my October downline meeting. We had a great time together, and aren't they fun designers??? Amanda made the two 3x3 cards, and Malinda made the Snow Swirled gift card holder.

Moonlighting

Look! A card I made just for fun! I need to do more of that. I stamped the tree on Whisper White, then brayered So Saffron ink over the whole piece. Then masked a "moon" and brayered More Mustard over the top. I used a sponge to add the Chocolate Chip ink. Then I took off the moon mask and stamped my little owl in Chocolate Chip Craft ink and embossed him with clear embossing powder.

You can blame my best friend Brandi for the doodling.

Happy Birthday Leiane!

 

This is the Rag Quilt Purse I made for my sister's birthday today! She's always been the pink girl, and she's a disgustingly fabulous pianist and singer. Music and pink were the order of the day. Happy birthday, Leiane!
