Foil embossed card

Yes- we used aluminum foil and ran it through the Big Shot for this card to emboss it. You do need to use heavy duty foil for this.  It came out pretty neat. It is done with Stampin' Up stamps- the dove and words are heat embossed with silver.

Thanksgiving card

I made this one at my friend Christine's house at her monthly stamp club- she's an SU consultant. The stamp is a large stamp that you stamp several times and cut out the parts you want to layer. Don't know the name of the set.

Dahlia fold flower

This flower was done with CTMH silhouette papers. It is one of my favorite paper packs. It's retired now. I did this using a dahlia fold with 8 circles and then you put them all together to create this flower.  Clear as mud, right? Not sure I can explain it here but here's a link to a splitcoast stampers tutorial. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/dahlia_fold/
 It is an easy fold and you can create  beautiful flowers. Depending on the size circles you can create these as large or small as you like. The smaller you go though the harder it is to fold the paper.

Fall cards- two versions

I don't think I ever posted the last card for my November club. I had done two versions. Then I picked my favorite to do for club. They use all CTMH products. Colors are barn red, pear and sunset. I random stamped the top part of the page and used the pear and barn red cardstock for the bottom halves. The leaf stamps are from the CTMH workshop on the go set using Olivia papers. Some ribbon and mocha opaques complete the accessories.  We wound up doing the top card for club.

Triangle treat boxes

Here's a set of triangle treat boxes. I found the directions online (can't remember where) and it was really pretty easy. I love the little Santa hat one. I put some white fun flock on the band of his hat to give it some dimension. The tree was fun too- lots of bling for ornaments. They aren't sealed closed- you can untie the ribbon at the top and add some goodies.

The third Christmas purse

This is the third purse from Becky Roberts pattern.

Here's the last purse I made for the gift exchange. It is from CTMH emporium papers and I used some copper brads and the mocha opaques for the closure. I did make a set of 3x3 cards and envelopes to go in this one as well.

Christmas gifts again

Here's the 2nd purse from the Becky Roberts pattern. Again not CTMH paper but the little pearls along the top edge  are our new opaques.  Once again 3x3 cards fit in this nicely. I did make a set of 4 matching cards with envelopes to go in this one.
