A Vellum Treat Bag for Mrs. Claus

I love this cute Mr. And Mrs Claus stamp – and I thought Mr. Claus might like to give Mrs. Claus a little bag of kisses. These mint kisses are really good (had to try one – how can I write an informative post without taste testing?). And I love the little snowflake-y wrappers. This post contains a tutorial and a template to make the treat bag, and the details for the card. The Vellum Treat Bag: The treat bag was made with cover weight vellum. This is much heavier and...

All the Halloween cards this season and here is my first green faced witch! Hey, they say we are supposed to “go green”. I used the Happy Halloweenie Cling set (with images from Eat Cake Graphics) for the card. I colored the image with Copics and inked the edges with Peeled Paint Distress Ink and a duster brush. The green panel is embossed with the Spider Web Cuttlebug embossing folder. I added some May Arts black swiss dot ribbon and some buttons to embellish. All I can say...

The paper is Prism cardstock from the Fall Frolic Cardstock Collection. The brown piece uses the Argyle...

Really, it is. Its hard to imagine while I’m sitting here in 98 degrees in my non-air conditioned house, but it is on the way! I am so sending this card to my brother! He is 4 years older and when we were young my Mom used to make him take me with him trick or treating. Just what every 9 year old boy wants, a 5 year old sister slowing him down and limiting his candy haul! He was a pretty good sport though. I made this with the “Where’s My Candy?” cling stamp...

Copic colored lighthouse

Here is the Father’s Day card I made for DH. Making cards for guys is challenging for me – I sometimes have a hard time choosing an image. For this Father’s Day, I chose this lighthouse from the Impression Obsession Lighthouse Cling Set. Life here has been so hectic – I thought this might look peaceful. I stamped the image in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored it with Copics. Here are the colors I used. (oops… E-31 is upside down!) I wanted to...
