Global Design Project #115 and FREE SHIPPING TODAY ONLY!

I made the cutest little card yesterday! I decided I wanted an interesting shape instead of the standard rectangle or square card. I am also playing along over on the Global Design Project site.  All products Stampin' Up!

To create the shape, I used the largest die from the Lots of Labels Framelits set and one of the Whisper White Note Cards that come with matching envelopes. 

I folded the notecard and burnished the fold with my bone folder. I placed the die as shown, only cutting on 3 sides of the die, leaving the fold of the card intact. 

I cut one of the same size labels with a piece of paper from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. I adhered it to the card front after embossing the snowflakes on it. 

The card measures just about 2 3/4 by 4 3/4. This idea would also make a great tag for a gift or an awesome place holder at your Christmas dinner. You could put the names on the bird instead of the sentiment and add an individual message to each guest!

Happy Thanksgiving: Feeling Blessed Today

Happy Thanksgiving! I woke up feeling blessed today. Blessed to have close family and friends that I know will not let me down and are appreciative that we are in their lives. 

Life has thrown my husband and I some curve balls these last few years. Some pretty bad stuff. A combination of a Jerry Springer show and a horror movie all rolled in to one. Young lives have been ruined and I have found that bad people can lie and get away with terrible things at times and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. I have found it hard to breathe some days. After a particularly harrowing situation about a year ago,  we decided to stop dwelling on the bad things and things we have no control over. Stopped letting those things rule the day. Instead, we let joy and thankfulness rule the day. I'm not saying we are never sad or unhappy about the things that have happened. We just realize that life is too short to be upset 24/7. 

On to the card for today: how do you turn holly leaves in to autumn leaves? When you stamp them with Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie! All products Stampin' Up!

I just love the texture of the holly leaves in the Good Tidings set. I have tried stamping them in many different colors for interesting backgrounds and they all look lovely. By keeping the leaves and the holly berries in autumn tones, it completely changes the look from Christmas to Autumn.

Feather Together Birthday Card

My son chose well for his partner in life. Jennifer is a lovely woman and I'm proud that she is a part of our family. I also LOVE that she likes pretty things. I always enjoy making her cards, because I do believe she appreciates them! Unless noted, all products Stampin' Up!

To make this background, I simply placed 3 of the feather images from the Feather Together stamp set all at the same time on a clear block. This makes for a simple way to do an all over background. After stamping the image repeately with Melon Mambo on Whisper White cardstock, I used one of the other feather images and a splatter image from Awesomely Artistic to add some gold embossing to the background. I gold embossed the sentiment from Feather Together on vellum. 

Before I attached the vellum, I took a small piece of ordinary cheesecloth and tapped Versamark on the edges, then sprinkled gold embossing powder directly on the cheesecloth. I always lay my cheesecloth on a piece of aluminum foil and hold it down with a wooden skewer or the end of a paint brush as I heat emboss with the heat tool. The aluminum foil reflects the heat, helping the heat embossing go super quick! I applied a few tiny pieces of Tear & Tape to adhere the cheese cloth. I used Multipurpose Glue to glue gold sequins to the vellum piece. After the glue was dry, I put glue on the back side of the vellum (only on spots underneath where the sequins were glued, this helps hide your glue) and adhered on top of the cheesecloth. There is a small scrap of Whisper White cardstock under the vellum and the cheesecloth, to make the gold embossed wording stand out a bit more.
