Dasher stamped in Early Espresso with Cherry Cobbler glitter on the antlers.  The very vanilla cardstock was run through the bigshot with Early Espresso ink on the Very Vintage Embossing folder - I LOVE this effect. The striped Cherry Cobbler ribbon was last years grosgrains stock and because it was too wide I have cut it in half and sealed the edges with the flame from a cigarette lighter( Thanks to Teniel Williams for this tip) The French Script Background Stamp was my first ever Stampin" Up! purchase - the beginning of a long love affair- fitting that it's French!! This is the design I have used for all my Christmas Cards this year - just posted the last ones today - must have made about 60 of this design. The base card is Naturals White, and the sentiment is heat embossed with White Powder onto Crumb Cake. the Concentric rings stamp is from a Thenkyou set which is VERY old - but still fabulous, and I have stamped over this with the ink spots stamp from Gorgeous Gru...

My first published attempt at the Circle Thinlit Card using Crumb Cake and Rich Razzleberry and and old retired stars set as well as Simply Stars.

My wonderful parents celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary this month so I have made them a special card using inspirations from a box card I saw on Pinterest here at   Rica's haven shadow box tutorial . I wanted something deep enough to hold the bouquet of flowers. I used Vellum cardstock as the card front which gave it a nice depth too.  The woodgrain in the  Natural Composition Specialty DSP gave the box a little more weight and stability, and made it look more like a frame I think. The Memorable Moments stamp set was perfect too. Thanks for looking, Liz vies from the top showing depth and inner box walls Love this sentiment from One in a Million. Card closed and sealed, ready for postage! Butterfly punched from vellum, then embossed,  -love it used some special gold marbled paper for background, and paper flowers for the bouquet.

 these cards were all inspired by the picture on page 3 of the Annual Catalogue. I don't have the great dictionary stamp so i used Gorgeous grunge as the background stamp and added my own sentiment stamps. I used all the new 'In Colours". I think the polka dot paper is just so cute. these are really easy to make, hope you give it a go. For the last one I used the ovals framelits and some white ink for the texture print on the card base. The centre panel background is done using the Ex Libris stamp which was only lightly inked in a random pattern. I am quite happy with how this turned out. Not the best photo, much prettier in RL. Thanks for looking Liz

 Have just been making a set of cards for my next workshop hostess gift using the Best of Flowers Set. It's such an easy set to use for lots of different looks. have used Midnight Nuse, Raspberry ripple and sahara Sand as the card bases and the in colour set of markers for the inking. Thanks for looking Liz

This weeks Christmas Card Class design. The Stylish Star image is heat embossed inWhite onto Island Indigo Cardstock. The Smoky Slate base has been sponged with Island Indigo and mounted up on dimensionals. I love the Indigo Chevron ribbon in teh bow but have also designed a flatter option for postage.We'll be making 10 cards in 2 different designs- my only dilemma is choosing which will be the second design! Thanks for looking Liz

The Beautiful Christmas Star stamp. Heat embossed white on white card, sponged over the top with Sahara Sand Ink and Peace on earth stamped in Silver ink.  The Gorgeous Champagne glimmer paper behind really sets this off. a simple pearl and it's done. Easy, but elegant I think. Hope you try it. Liz
