Crystal Effects

This is the swap card I made for November. The stamp set is the new one, "Time Well Spent". I colored Crystal Effects using reinker then painted it on the stamped image. The flower center is So Saffron, the petals centers are Rose Red and the rest is Regal Rose. This is a neat effect is you want some shiny, raised color on your image. Like heat embossing in a way - but with all the colors SU makes.

This is a card I made for the December swap between SU demos. It uses the 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" circle punches to make the flower. The same technique as using the tag punches (tutorial on SplitCoast Stampers called "Tag Punch Stars"). I haven't tried it, but I bet you could use the oval punches too. The stem and leaves are from a set that will be in the new catty, "Time Well Spent". The words are from the "Absolutely Fabulous" set.

Niagara Falls

Back in September I took a business trip to NY. I got to see Niagara Falls. Gorgous. I love nature and it's many wonders.

Most of this picture is of the American side of the Falls, called American Falls. The falls that is the farthest away with all the mist is the Canadian side - this is the side that is in all the pictures. It is the Horseshoe shaped one, hence the name Horseshow Falls.

A Christmas card using the star punch

Well, it has been a LONG time since I last posted - sorry about that. This card using the star punch in the current catalog. In the Spring/Summer Collection that comes out in January, there is a bigger star.

I will be getting some stamp sets from the new catty on Tuesday - expect to see some new samples. Also, we will host a Customer Appreciation/Open House in January. Details to come soon
