September Stamp of the month - Thriller

Here are 2 fun cards - featuring the embossing powder and prisma glitter technique - doesn't have a name - maybe we could call it sparkly embossing LOL.
I have to confess that the ideas for both of these cards were based on a book and card that the fabulous Tresa Black posted on her blog at http://www.fabulouslyartsy.com/  I changed the layout of the card but used her resist embossing technique on this 1st. I used the new purple sparkles for even more 'bling'.

this card is so  much cuter in person than the photo shows - here I sponged color on the card then embossed with a mixture of clear embossing powder and prisma glitter then rubbed black ink over it. Again based on Tresa's artwork. I used the new Pear mini medley for the brads and button.
Hope you like it :O)

Extravaganza artboard #3 Magnifique

Here is the 3rd board which I made for Extravaganza - this time I accented the level 2 paper pack and stickease with Sweet Leaf cardstock and ribbon.
Shimmer brads form the centers of the flowers and again i have added the Opaques to the centers of the stamped tone-on-tone flowers.
Sparkles were just perfect for the Christmas card tree and I used peal paint tinted with reinker for the dimensional element snowflakes.
The last card used dimensional elements which I can colored using a chocolate marker then dipped into the Versamark ink and sprinkled with the clear embossing powder and prisma glitter mix - then heated to set.
Hope you like it :O)

Extravaganza artboard #2 Magnifique

Here is the 2nd of my 3 art boards created for the Extravaganza class I taught. I used the new Magnifique level 2 paper pack and matching stickease and accented it with buttercup cardstock. I used the new Foundry metal accents in antique copper to decorate and lots of the Big Pinks paper flowers. I added the Opaques pearls and the blue/green sparkles to add a shimmer to the stickease borders and on the double layouts.
Hope you like it :O)

Triple Play Mini Album and card set

Here is the fabulous offer for September - it is called Triple play and includes all the supples to make 3 fabulous 4x4 mini albums. There are 3 colors - Outdoor Denim, Hollyhock and Smoothie.  Here I have made the Hollyhock one into its mini album and added photos from Convention:

Here is the front cover - the die cuts, inks and ribbon are included:

Here is my friend Dana and I on the fist page.

Here are Nancy, Joy and I with out patriotic colored headlands :O)

Dana, LisaMarie and I.

I loved the way Close To My Heart decorated the steps - so much fun - and yes I still have to add the journaling to the lined areas. The 2nd photo shows the fabulous Kristine and I with the fun picture frames.

This photo was of Dr Phil and I at the award ceremony.

The left hand photo is from when I taught at Extravaganza and the right hand photo is of Lynn Como and I - a lady who I admire tremendously for her sales and business. I want to grow up to be just like Lynn :O)

And last but definitely not least - this is actually the back cover of the album but it seemed silly not to put a photo on it! So here I am will Victoria and LisaMarie and Dana :O)

The 2nd mini album I actually copied from Gloria Rogers website at http://hsstutorials.blogspot.com/p/tripleplay.html

She had the fabulous idea of turning the mini album into a card kit - so I took the smoothie kit and added some olive cardstock to it. I made 6 card bases measuring 3.5 x 7 (scored at 3.5) and 2 pieces of  2.5 x 5.25  olive cardstock which I scored on along the 2 short edges and 1 long edge at .5" in from the edge - these 2 pieces formed the 2 pockets. (my cardstock was slight different in size to Gloria's original).

I then used the inks and die cuts to decorate the card holder and cards as shown below :O)

Here you can see the 2 pockets and then the cards tucked inside.

My cards are very similar to the ones Gloria made - I added the extra ribbon which wasn't needed to tie pages in to decorate the top card.There are actually 2 of each of the 3 designs.

Hope you like them :O)
