Batty For You Cookie Bag

My digital studio isn't just for scrapbooking! You can make fun cards for any occasion as well! Here is a Christmas one one that took me about 5 minutes to make! It is amazing, and too fun!!

It is $79.95, and if you hold a $400 workshop in the month of October, you get it for 50% off!! Isn't that awesome!

"Sweet Season" Card

This is card number two from my Christmas card workshop! I had so much fun coming up with cards ( and I did copy a few of my favorites too!) The rest will be a surprise for you all, although I do have them all planned out and the samples made, yeah!! This event is always a favorite, with a great turn out! I am really looking froward to it!

"Dasher" Card

This is a sneak peak from my upcoming Christmas card workshop! We will be making 10 different cards! I am away at my women's retreat this weekend, so you will get to see one more tomorrow!!

My Favorite Set "Courage"

The name of the set says it all!! Having 2 boys in the Army and a husband in the Coast Guard, this was the first set I bought, and the set I use the most!!

I used the bleach technique on this card. The image is stamped on Kraft card stock then I bleach out the area I wanted to add in skin color and white too! To bleach, I use my regular house hold bleach that I dip an old blender pen in (I feel I have the most control with that) I let that area dry, and then watercolor with an Aqua Painter and Watercolor Wonder Crayons.

"My Little Purse"

This is a little purse I came up with when I could not figure out a different pattern. I think I wrote it down wrong, which works out great for me because I love this little purse, and it is so easy!! You will actually get to make one of these adorable purses in my November "Gifts 4 Giving" class with a few note cards! This is your little sneak peak! I made these with the Stampin' Up! key chains for door prizes for my "Stamp 4 Our Troops" events!!

Sweet Treat

Everyone that knows me, knows I love candy, especially red licorice! So I got one of my Stampin' Up! orders in, I opened the box and saw my new "Table Setting" Die for the big shot, and I was so excited to use it!! So, this is what I came up with! This is the piece you would use for the napkin wrap, but it works great for sooooooo many other things as well!

Lately I have been needing a lot of praying for you cards, not always a great thing, but it is a blessing to lift someones spirits with a hand stamped card! Anyway, I have found myself using this stamp set, "Thoughts and Prayers" so often, I just love it! On this card I used the Faux Silk technique, an oldie, but goodie! So I thought I would share it with you as a reminder, or maybe even as a new technique!

Enjoy!

Faux Silk Technique

Step 1- Stamp images on tissue paper.

Step 2- Color images if necessary.

Hint:
Color carefully. The ink will bleed through the tissue paper.

Step 3- Crinkle tissue paper. Smooth out and set aside.

Step 4- Apply adhesive of your choice over the entire piece of neutral card stock.

Step 5- Spread tissue paper over adhesive. Smooth out most wrinkles.

Step 6 - Trim excess tissue paper.

Step 7- Finish your card.
