Oscar Night

Hello stampers, Hetty here and  I am into the Oscars this week.
Yes on Sunday we will know the winners and all of us will have fun watching 
the red carpet dresses and the big show.

I made this card with a fun technique from Aug/Sept 2009
called Punched Window.
It is a pitty that gold and silver are not such good colors 
to either scan or photograph,
but I hope you can imagine these colors on the right spot.

 I have used the cloisonné mini star by Michael Strong
embossed in silver or gold and the images and sentiment are
 Have a creative day!

Christmas Black and White Tri Shutter Card



Hello my friends!

Kathie McGuire here on your stamping weekend. I'm hoping my Tri Shutter card from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD will inspire you to make one, too!

All stamps are from The Rubber Cafe--I thought they were a perfect fit for this non-traditional colored Christmas card. I used a nice, sturdy black cardstock for the base from The Paper Temptress.

The clear crystals below the candle image are also from The Rubber Cafe; the hanging beads were a dollar store purchase. They come on a long piece of ribbon, so I cut them into individual pieces and taped each piece on the back side of the thin panel. Most people think I strung the beads by hand and are always surprised to learn it's a cheap and easy trick to use to embellish a card.

The black and white paper is a flocked pattern paper I purchased.

I hope you've enjoyed today's project and thanks for stopping by.

Layered Masking by Judy Jackson


Hello from Judy Jackson. This is a technique from the February issue of the Technique Junkie newsletter.

This card uses stamps from Stampin' Up, Mark's Finest Papers, Stamp Scapes, and Stamparosa. I even embossed an image on the larger than normal flower brad. That was fun to do!

This was a fun technique to use creating a lovely card. I hope you try it soon and show it to the rest of us!

I am looking forward to seeing leaves on trees!

Have a wonderful day!

Textured Blossoms Valentine by Judy Jackson


Howdy fellow stampers from Judy Jackson.

This lovely Valentine uses the Textured Blossom technique from the SU Companion CD.

It was fun to create a Valentine with this blossom! I used a small enbossing folder for the dark pink hearts near the top of the card, and a different embossing folder for the other layer. a heart button adds to the Valentine feel to this card. The Be My Valentine stamp is from Stampin' Up!

I hope you have created your Valentines and if not perhaps this card will inspire to make some!

Enjoy your day!
