October Stamp of the Month Samples & Projects :O)

This 1st picture shows the 3 cards we are making this month - hope you like them :O)
The bottom of the three cards features the colors Outdoor Denim and Twilight with lots of Bling and is a fun winter card.

The 2nd picture shows 2 Christmas cards again made with the stamp of the month. The tree was embossed using white embossing powder and then I used sparkles and prisma glitter to add bling to it. This tree could be stamped on a white or colonial white card-stock and colored with chalks or markers or the water bruch and ink. I chose to do it on the New England Ivy card-stock so that I wouldn't have to color it.

The 3rd picture shows that this set is NOT just a Christmas set - I made a wedding/anniversary/engagement card using the That's Amore paper and stick-ease buttons and prisma glittered the ribbon in the Doves beak, then I made a boys birthday card using the Stardust paper, topiary ink, and moonstruck and heavenly blue markers. Dimensional elements rubbed over the topiary ink pad and then with a brad centered in the middle gave some interest and texture to the card.
And when I saw the pile of presents stamp - it SCREAMED for a pink and black Blinged up girls birthday card. I loved making this one. The presents are colored using the watermelon and bubblegum markers and then I prisma glittered the living daylights out of it.3 mini sparkles and black grosgrain ribbon added the final touches :O)

Snow Friends

This card is 'Snow much fun' - hahaha - sorry - not sure that I have had enough coffee this morning.
I love this set of snowmen AND I got the inspiration from the new Winter Idea book. The snow underneath the snowmen is prisma glitter and I used liquid applique on the 'bobbles' of their hats. Again, another not so traditional colored Christmas card but I think it is really cute - hope you like it too :O)

Good Grief!

My sincere apologies to anyone who has viewed my blog between 3.30pm and 5pm if you visited more than once you will see that my background patterns changed every 5 minutes - did I drive you nuts?? I couldn't made a decision to save my soul. Anyway I have found one that screams 'SARA' - the bling, the black and white fleur de lys- oooh I love this one - this is a keeper I think (well until I find another once I like better).

SO - I hope you all continue to enjoy my blog - I have put a "FOLLOW" button on the the right hand side of my blog - click it and follow me & all the stuff I put on here. Enjoy :O)
