Sister's stamp- Winter Well

Hello- This turned out a little dark, but if you come close, you can see the snow is bubbled up like it's really there.  I put glitter on top of this paste, and it just glows.  The card is actually bright red, but there's a little dark shadow.  Makes a beautiful Christmas Card.  Hope you enjoy it.  Let me know, girls...  Thanks for visiting.

Sister's stamps-Pussywillows

I think this looks so real.  The paste that accomplishes this is equal parts flour and salt.  Add enough water to make paste.  Put on your image and heat from the back and then heat the front until it pops up and dries.  It will turn whiter when this occurs.  I hope you will try this if you have not already.  It's really  neat.  Thanks for visiting today.  Come back for more.  Carol Smith

This picture is taken flat so you can see how the paste makes it pop up...like 3-D.  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith

Sassy Salutations-Happy Birthday/A Cherry on Top

This is a birthday card I made for my Mother-in-law.  The dots and cupcakes are something from somewhere else, but they mix well with the SU cake stand and emboss folder in the background.  Very happy and bright!  The icing on the cupcakes have the crystal effects on.  Makes them stand out.  I hope you like it...  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith

Coloring Down the Lines- More Mustard

You've just arrived from Amanda's blog at http://www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com/ where I know she made a beautiful card.  Our challenge this week was to use more mustard.  I chose the sweet set with more mustard, old olive and bravo burgundy.  Every time I see these colors together, I just start to think of Christmas!  I took advantage of this and used the new open sleigh and glitter set the tree from the old favorite Lovely as a Tree.  Pretty, isn't it?  Enjoy and thanks for visiting our blogs.  Now go on over to Liz's blog at http://www.lizzystamps.wordpress.com/.  She is also very talented. Come back again next week.  Carol Smith

with sympathy

Happy Saturday, everyone!  Does everyone have their computers checked for the ghost virus?  http://www.dns-ok.us/.  I made this sympathy card for a church members parent.  The background for it was cased, I just Love it!  All you do is sponge your color in a stencil from the new label dies and punch around the edge.  It's so cute, I thought it HAD to cheer someone up.    I love it, will be making more of this idea on cards to come.  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith PS   I used Marina Mist for the coloring.
