In the Mood for Love...

Today is MOJO Monday! I decided to play along today as I am somewhat housebound, no, not because it is snowing...I have this cough that just wants to linger...oh well...you know what they say...when life hands you ??? you create! And that is what I decided to do today in my studio.

Hearts are some of my all time favourite design elements and adding bling is a close second. So in this Love card, there are both!

Would love to hear from some of you what you think...drop me a line...comment...find me on FB.

Till next time!

Happy Stampin'!

Now that the Christmas season is behind us and we look forward to a New Year, I thought that I would share something FUN!

My all time favorite design style is shabby chic...having said that...I created two versions of the above item as Christmas gifts for my Christmas team meeting parties. And, I also made one that I could have for myself!

This was cased (copy and share everything) from Elizabeth Gross. You can view her blog at:

Hope that you are all enjoying this fantastic New Year and all of the goodness and promise that it holds for each and every one of us!

Happy Stampin:

~ Happy New Year ~

One of my favorite Stampin' Up! designer papers is the Glimmer sheets...they are available in: silver, champagne and red. This card was created for a Splitcoaststampers.com Creative Crew Challenge...CCREW0114CF. I just had to share this little pretty with you today in honor of the New Year Celebration tonight! Don't you just love a little black dress with sparkly bits all over!

Hope that you all had a wonderful Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

~ Poinsettia WOW! ~

Hi Stampers!

Today's share is my first Christmas card of the season, and believe me, if you see it in person, you would be overwhelmingly WOWED by it. It is a  case (copy and share everything) of a beautiful card that I saw created by Deb Valder for the Stampin' Up! Founders's Circle retreat.

~ The poinsettia was stamped with black stazon ink onto a  4x4 window sheet.

~ You need to pool about a one and one half inch spot of crystal effects onto a piece of waxed paper   and mix in 2 drops of cherry cobbler re-inker and then paint onto the poinsettia.

~ You will also need to use a small amount of crystal effects and put one drop of crushed curry into that and paint the berries in the center

~ Next, you sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds onto the wet and let it dry for a good hour. Cut out the flower and then adhere it to the whisper white card stock using some of the crystal effects as an adhesive.

Last week I demonstrated this lovely card at my monthly class.  Everyone was very pleased at having created such an elegant and spectacular little masterpiece!

Recipe:

Stamps: Joyful Christmas
Paper: whisper white, basic black, window sheets p. 156 IBC
Ink: stazon black, cherry cobbler, crushed curry
Misc: crystal effects, dazzling diamonds

Enjoy!
