Got some new SU stamps

I had a little time over the Thanksgiving holiday to play with some of my new SU stamps.  This card was made with stamps from the "Best of Everything" set.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey Day! 

MME 12 Days of Christmas

Yesterday at the Insprired Retreat, I took a class from MME using their 12 Days of Christmas Paper and embellishments.  It was fun and easy to use coordinating paper and embellishments. Here are the cards I created.

Karen's Box Holiday Card

This past weekend I  took a class from my friend and SU demonstrator, Karen Kurz.  It was a lot of fun.  My favorite was this box card that folds up to easily mail.  We colored the images with SU markers in a clever way to get a very COPIC looking end result.

 I love the way the card turned out and also how easily is stands up on its own.

October Hen House Swap Club

Once again the Hen House Swap Club ladies made some fabulous cards.  Take a peek...

 Kelly had fun with squares and corner rounding.

 Kim played with paper piecing on top of a SU stamped image.

 Mary used Distress Stains to create her lovely card.

 Naomi colored her flower with COPICs  and layered some beautiful paper behind it.

 Peggy had lots of fun with blue.

 Donna used Distress Stains and embossed Unity unity image.

 Liz had some fun making a spooky Halloween card.

 Stephanie made a lovely card with a Unity stamp set and a fun quote.

Trish did some fall layers using her Nestability dies.

Due to the holidays we will be taking a break from Swap club until January.  It is gonna be hard waiting that long to see the next group of cards!

Stroud Holiday card

My cousin Angela came over this weekend for a quick crafting date.  It was so nice seeing her.  We live in the same town but we are both super busy so it was a treat to have some time with her.  She is super inspirational when it comes to card crafting and helped me design the prototype for my family holday card.  I just LOVE it!

Simply Happy Holidays

This is the fourth card in my November Fast and Fun Class.  It is definitely the fastest and thanks to some glittery paper from MME and a coordinating MME stamp (with a little SPICA accent)...I think its fun too!

Ornamental Holiday card

Yesterday was my Technique Swap Club and we played with texture.  While I was working on cards for that class, it inspired me to create this ornament card with lots of different techniques...Iroc metallic embellishments, Dew drops, stickles, Spica pens and paper piecing.  Fun! Fun! Fun!  This card wll be one of the four we make in the November Fast and Fun class.
