Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 Merry Christmas! I hope you are enjoying the holidays with some family and friends surrounding you. I am thankful each and every day for so many things; for the chance to be creative, to share my craft with you all, and for being blessed with so many creative, supportive and wonderful ladies in my life. Thank you for being a part of my life!I made this card just for you :) Merry Christmas from me to you! For this card, I used Early Espresso, Old Olive, and Riding Hood Red colors. I used the Snowburst textured impressions embossing folder, and ran some Old Olive cardstock through the Big Shot with it. I added some of the Frostwood Lodge designer paper, found in the Holiday Mini Catalogue. The stamped image is punched out using the decorative Label Punch, and then I ran the 2-Way Glue Pen around the edges, and dipped it in Champagne fine Cosmo Glitter. The ribbon treatment is made using Certainly Celery satin ribbon, pleated up with Sticky Strip underneath, to hold it. I hope you like my Christmas card, and I hope you have a very Merry rest of your holidays, and a Happy New Year too! Jo-Ann

Father's Day card

Hi everyone! With so much going on around here, I wanted to set aside a minute and post a pic of this Father's Day card we made recently for Big Shot Club! This was designed by a demonstrator friend of mine, Joanne Oszenaris.

This card uses the textured Impressions Folder, and the technique is called Paper Quilting.

 

I just punched out some different circles, and placed them on the Old Olive cardstock with Snail Adhesive. Then I ran both layers through the Lattice Embossing Folder at once. It pushes the cardstocks together and gives this really nice quilted look!

 
 

Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die #119976 $10.95 Cdn

The colors used on this project are Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Night of Navy and Crumb Cake.

Give this technique a try and post your card pic to your blog, with a link below in the comments. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Don't forget that the retiring lists are now available, and accessories are only while supplies last!

You can place your order online 24/7 through my online store.

Happy Stamping!

Jo-Ann
