Poinsettia card topper

Happy Sunday...  Flowersoft was having a challenge to create a project with Flowersoft images so I had to dig out my Flowersoft goodies to make a card.  The card I made is made with the Flowersoft Die Cut Dimensions - Christmas poinsettia card toppers.   The card topper packs are not a decoupage set, but the unique method of die cutting the images allow areas of the design to pop out giving a very distinctive dimensional effect and with lots of extra die cut elements on each sheet you have the added flexibility to freestyle your card designs. The results are stunning and always different, which has made these new designs an instant hit with crafters. I cut a white cardstock base to fit the card topper.

Supplies:

Accessories: Flowersoft Ivory, Flowersoft Glue

Happy crafting,

Have a question, just ask, I like to help! Have a great day!

BLOG CANDY!...and my secret is released...

Hello and welcome old friends and new friends and anyone in between... The secret is...I have been asked by the owner LuAnn of "Stamp N Plus Scrap N" to be on her Design Team. I of course said that I would be honored to be on her team. LuAnn owns a local stamping scraping store in my home town area and she makes high quality red rubber stamps. All the stamps come mounted on wood and most are available as unmounted. The card that a made here is stamped with a stamp from the "Stamp N Plus Scrap N" Company and it is called Santa with Candycane. It's a really fun and easy image to color. The background paper here is Memory Box DP. Now unto the BLOG CANDY... In honor of being on a design team, I am giving out one of these unmounted red rubber stamps as blog candy. I somehow ended up owning two of these Santa with Candycane unmounted red rubber stamps...I guess I liked it so much and bought two at different times. So you ask... What do I have to do to win this stamp? Just leave me a comment here and I will put all the names in a hat and have my kiddos pick one on Sunday night, December 7. I'm leaving this candy open for USA and Canada people. I'll have the winner posted on Monday evening. You must come back to see if you won so I can send it out to you...


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Joy To The World!

I thought I'd try this technique of bayering different colors...SU Wild Wasabi and Ruby Red. Then I inked up the image "Joy To The World" by Unity Stamp Company with Black Onyx Versafine ink...eye balled it...in cases it on the Black cardstock and waalaa..all done...pretty quick. That's all for today...

Unity Stamps

Here is a card I made for a SCS challenge FS85...Cased a card by E3Stamper: Shannon...The Santa and Distressed Dots are from Unity Stamp Company..,. The Sentiment is SU: So Many Scallops. Ink: Rubber Stampede green and Versafine Black Onyx. Paper: red and green Paper reflections, and GP white. SU punches: scallop circle, 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 circle, corner ticket. Prismacolor Markers for coloring and Stickles to accent. Did you notice that I got a watermark? I found this free program to edit pictures and add a watermark. The free program is Picasa3. The first time I used the program it took forever...now it is simple. Unity Stamp Company has an all day party on Thursdays at the SCS Unity forum, start at 10:00 a.m. central time. It's called Hip Hop Thursday. It's a time to meet the designers and owners of the company...plus they have over $300.00 worth of prizes to give away every Thursday. If you go there on Thursday...you'll find me as jellychick. Thanks for stopping by...See you again soon...
