Fall Thanks

I had never heard of the term "buffalo plaid" before, and a couple of my customers kept saying how they love the buffalo plaid. Well, now I know what it is ... the plaid pattern (in any colors) in this pretty fall card. The designer paper is actually one of the Christmas papers called Merry Little Christmas, but works great for fall too. It's hard to tell in the picture, but there is a pretty copper strip across the top of the plaid, and accented with a copper ribbon knot. The leaves are cut from the leaflet dies then the old olive maple leaf is stamped after it's cut out. All the leaves are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. Perfect card to say thanks.

Anniversary Picture Frame

This weekend I had an opportunity to help someone with their anniversary project (18" x 24"). The picture truly does not do it justice ... it's really pretty in real life. The center is a 12" x 12" piece of red glimmer paper (retired). The mat for each photo is copper glimmer paper. The year dates are actually in dazzling diamonds glitter paper cut out with the Number framelits. The little design on the sides is cut out from a piece of the year of cheer designer series paper (I used my Brother Scan n Cut -- soooo easy!--check out the link on the right to get yours). I got the idea from our catalog as seen in the picture frame below.

Is there a special project you need help with ... just email me and we'll see what we can do!

Plastic Wrap Smash

Technique time! Plastic wrap smash....I'm so glad that Stampin' Up! has brought back the glossy cardstock. There are so many cool techniques that can be done on this. Today's technique is no exception. All you need is plastic wrap (or even a plastic grocery bag), ink refills, and rubbing alcohol. Below is my video on how it's done.
