Coffee and a Card today

It is my turn again to teach Crafty Capers Coffee and a Card today (10:30 - 12:30) for just $2.00 you can make this card today only (bring your own adhesive with you)! I was in a Christmasy mood so it is a Christmas theme today.
The stamp is called Snowflake and Holly and it is embossed with moss green embossing powder embellished with Hero Arts pearls, Liquid Pearls and a EK Success snowflake punch.
Hope to see you later today. Don't forget today is the last day of the Spellbinder die sale.

Pink Monocromatic

I had to do a thank you card for a friend who sent me a present recently. Here is the card I created for her.
I began by using a Els Flower Peel Off, Glitter Ritz Warm Highlight glitter, Be Creative tape and Copic markers. I colored the flower with some Copic markers. Once this was done I used my Spellbinder Labels 1 to create a mat and frame. I matted the flower with some BoBunny Double Dot cardstock and pattern paper. I used some ribbon to create a fluffy bow and added a Just Rite sentiment plus some white Enamel Accents.
Pretty happy with how this one turned out!

New Arrivals July 18

I am still in (windy but sunny for today at least) England however I heard word from across the ocean that there was an ordered delivered yesterday. It consisted of open stock Tim Holtz Distress markers, Graphic 45 Happy Haunting stamps, Bazzill paper, Zip Dry glue and white gel pens. Stop by for best selection!
I would post sneak peek photos however I am using my Mom's Macbook and am a bit "Mac" challenged so I will leave it up to you to Google the new products if you are interested or you can always stop by to see what is new. We have quite a few orders in transit right now so you never know what will show up next.
Hope everyone is having a great week. For fun I will post a quick vacation photo. :) We are staying on a horse farm and this is the "back yard".

Shimmer Sheets

Another great card done by Linda Kennick (while Carley boxer was doing all the work around the store).
Linda stamped the irises (by Flourishes stamps) and colored them with Prisma Pencil crayons. She matted the piece on a Spellbinder Fleur di Lis square die. She embossed a piece of Shimmer Sheet using a Peacock Couture embossing folder then finished the card with a bit of ribbon, twine and a button.
Hope you enjoy!

Get Well

A friend had surgery recently so whipped up this card for her.
The main image is by Stampendous love this stamp!! I stamped the flower with a piece of cardstock over the lower part of the card so I had an unstamped area to stamp my sentiment. I colored the flower with my Prisma pencils. I used my Scor It to score some lines around the sentiment  to finish it off. I edged the card with my Spellbinder Edgeabilities and gems.
Get well soon Joyce!

Another British Themed card

Here is another travel themed card I created for the Hero Arts July contest. Again I used the London background stamp but also used the set Enchante for the gal stamp.
The background was stamped with Memento Cantelope ink then over stamped with Versafine Onyx Black. I edged the main cardstock with Distress Mustard Seed ink. I did a Versamark resist technique on glossy cardstock for the colored squares and the girl piece. I added some Black Enamel Accents to the top right side and bottom left side of the card.
