The cord has been found! Yay! To celebrate – here’s a simple but effective card… Stampin’ Up!’s Stitched Exotics stamp set with gold embossing powder creates a very cool effect, I think! (and right now, if you order the Stitched Exotics stamp set, you get the It’s Beautiful jumbo wheel for FREE).
I love the stitched look with the embossing. I added a half pearl (adhered with a mini glue dot – fits perfectly!) from my favourite Pretties kit to give the card a little dimension. The card is in bravo burgundy, and I backed the main imaged with some brushed metallic gold cardstock. This is another card that comes together really quickly and gives good impact.
Here’s a close up of the image (because I was playing with the camera…)
Free wheels until the end of the month ONLY – so contact me before April 30th to take advantage of this special offer!

Just to let you know that I’m still here but I’ve misplaced the cord that connects my camera to my computer…so while I’ve got some great card samples to share…I can’t get them uploaded just yet! Stay tuned… (and apologies!)

This card design is based again on one we did at the Stampin’ Up! regional seminar in Hamilton quite a while ago. It’s fun to have a standard sized card that isn’t quite so standard… The large flower from the Ginormous Flowers set is inked first in regal rose ink, the the stamp is rolled onto a rose red ink pad so that the edges of the stamp pick up the darker shade of ink. A little fine cosmo glitter in blue gives the card a little more bling factor. And hey, glitter always makes a card more "wow". Colours of the card are sage shadow with so saffron; a bashful blue layer under the image. The other stamp set I used was Celebrate Everything… this stamp set of phrases covers a whole range of occasions, which makes it a perfect set to use while when you’re making a whack of cards to have handy!
I’m going to be trying to do a few video tutorials in the near future, so if there’s anything that you’re curious about (technique, card, etc) – or if you’ve been in one of my classes and need to see something again, let me know & it may be the subject of a future video tutorial here!!

HA made it just in time…still Easter here! LOL) OK here we go – trying out a new toy of mine! Here’s a video of an Easter slider card made with Stampin’ Up!’s Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories sets. I am not talking in this one, because I’m concentrating on what I’m doing….LOL. I angle the card at the end so you can kind of see the mechanics of the card. Kind of. Supplies: Almost Amethyst cardstock, Creamy Caramel Cardstock (torn for mountain effect), basic black cardstock (for road); white gel pen (for lines on road); almost amethyst ink sponged onto whisper white cardstock for sky. Image stamped with basic black ink & coloured with blender pens & stampin’ pastels; Zig painty pen on hubcaps & bumpers; caramel gingham ribbon. Slot cut with paper cutter, word window punch used to create slider portion that truck is mounted onto. Enjoy, and feel free to leave feedback!! Here’s hoping it works…..
