snowflake card

Goodmorning stampers,
Yesterday I showed you the cards we made at my club last weekend. I wanted to highlight this card. I absolutely love this fold. I received a swap at convention this year using this fold and it is so fun!
I used some retired DSP that I still have around. Along with real red, bordering blue and whisper white
I used the snowflake die for the big shot and also the snowflake punch. I added a build a brad to the center.
I just love how this turned out!




Here's what it looks like open!

Decrative Tile whiteboard


Goodmorning stampers,
Well today I thought I would post something other than a holiday card!!
The way I'm going I will be working on Valentines by December!
Anyway I made this tile into a dry erase board. My club will be making these tonight for one of our projects!
Anyway, just stamp the tile in whatever design you may like and then use clear embossing powder over the top of it. Bake for 10 minutes.
Attach some ribbon to hold the marker and walla! I put mine on a photo holder but you could also put some felt on the bottom and lay it flat, or add a long piece of ribbon at the top to hang it on a wall.
hint: only erase around the image...and don't use water,I did have some of the color come off when I cleaned my writing. but only in the spots where the embossing powder did not stick.

flower folds


Goodmorning to ya,
Today I have made some adorable flower pins using the flower fold die for the big shot. I bought some material in several different color combinations and this one caught my eye first! I used two different patterned material and some tulle for this flower. I layered each size of the flower twice, then a layer of tulle between the next size and finally an old button in my stash. Not sure if I like it centered on the hat or on the side...what do you think?
