I have one last quick sneak peek to show you.  We will be making this card Friday night at my monthly Stamp Club class.  You will find a complete supply list at the end of this post.  

Sorry ... the photo is a little blurry.

CASE'd from Linda Higgins

When I saw this card I fell in love with it.  Purple is my favorite color and this card is just simply elegant.  I couldn't wait to make it!

Funny thing about this stamp set is that I really didn't like when I first saw it in the Holiday Catalog.  This card, along with several others, has completely changed my mind about the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set.  One of the things I really like about it is that it coordinates with the Leaflets Framelits Dies in the Annual Catalog.

The card base is Basic Black with a layer of Sahara Sand. 

The black striped piece is from the 6"x6" Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack.  On top of that is the Sahara Sand 7/8"Lace Trim. I wrapped the Silver Cording Trim around the card and tied a knot. 

Using the Circle Framelits Dies I cut a circle from a Silver Foil Sheet and embossed it with the new Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered it with SNAIL adhesive off the edge of the card stock and trimmed with my Paper Snips. 

The leaf itself is stamped in Elegant Eggplant ink oton Perfect Plum card stock. I cut it out with the coordinating Leaflet Framelit die.

Next I colored some of the leaf with Whisper White craft ink and a Blender Pen.  I finished the leaf off with one of the White Perfect Accents (This is on sale as a Weekly Deal this week!).  The leaf is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Do you want to make this card?  My monthly Stamp Club is open for anyone to attend.  We meet on the second Friday of each month.  If you would like to join us this Friday (10/9/15) contact me for more information!

Thanks for stopping by,

Have you seen the Among the Branches Bundle in the Holiday Catalog?  The bundle includes the Among the Branches Photopolymer stamp set and the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I am in love with this new embossing folder!  I see many projects with this in my future!

Today I'm sharing with you a card we made during my September Stamp Club.  We used this awesome bundle along with a couple of very cool techniques!

CASE'd from Michelle Zindorf

The stunning background on this card was made using a masking technique and some brayering.  We started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and positioned the Post-It note punched circle for the moon into place.  Then the brayering began!  The sunset background was made by brayering Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and finally a little Rich Razzleberry right over the top of the Post-It note.

Once the brayering was complete, the piece was ran through the Big Shot using the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  A little Soft Suede ink was added with a Sponge Dauber to make the trees really pop.  The birds and the owl from the Among the Branches Photopolymer stamp set were added with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

The spiders and the sentiment are from the A Little Something stamp set.  They were stamped on a piece of Vellum card stock using the Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  The brackets on the end were made by cutting the sides off of a piece of Basic Black card stock that was punched using the Label Bracket Punch.  This is an excellent way to conceal your adhesive when using vellum!  There are Glue Dots behind the black label pieces to adhere the sentiment to the card front.

Do you want to learn how to make cards like this?  My monthly Stamp Club is open to anyone who would like to attend!  Contact me today for more information!
