Buried Treasure—Monochromatic Wreath

With the onset of Fall, my thoughts immediately turn to creating  fall cards.  For this week’s Buried Treasure feature, I just had to bring back one of my favorites from September, 2009.  Click HERE to read the original post. It is hard to believe that I crafted this card two years ago for an Our Creative Corner monochromatic challenge.  This is a design that is timeless.

Making It Fresh

  • Spice it up with Spice Cake Designer Series Paper!
  • Make it “pearl-fect” by adding Basic Pearls!
  • Fall in love with it by using the Gently Falling stamp set!

Paper Winner

According to Random.Org, the lucky recipient of 100 sheets of 6″ x 6″ retired Designer Series Paper is  #33 Luann!

Thank you to all who left comments on my Pals Paper Arts Sneak Peek and The Reveal!  Would you like another chance to win more paper next week???  Just let me know!
I will be away from my computer for most of the weekend.  I do have posts scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, however I may not get to your questions and comments in a timely fashion.  But you do know that I treasure our blogging friendships and I look forward to reading your comments and answering any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques I use.  Until next time…

The Holiday Mini…My Top Twelve Favorites

Holiday Mini (Flash Edition)
Holiday Mini

The Holiday Mini goes live today, and if you are like me, you have a Wish List a mile long!  Many of you have asked me for my picks, so I narrowed it to twelve.  Here we go:

  • Piece of Poison Stamp Set…Not for the little ones, this realistic set is perfect for vintage cards. Its “Poison” image is gorgeous when glittered!
  • Gently Falling…Perfect for fall cards!
  • Christmas Lodge…Rustic, masculine, vintage.  This set is a triple threat.
  • Stitched Stockings…How cute is this set! Pair it up with Stocking Builder Punch and double the fun.
  • It’s A Wrap Holidays…Perfect for making “sweet” little gifts!
  • Simply Scored…a MUST have for everyone!
  • Spice Cake Designer Series Paper…a yummy confection of patterns!
  • Holiday Stocking Bigz Die…Adorable with a capital “A”!
  • Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper…you’ll go mad for plaid!
  • 25 and Counting (with the 1″ Square Punch and Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die)…a memory in the making!
  • Ribbon…Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler Quilted Satin or VeryVanilla Velvet…all three are a treat!
  • Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder…not just for winter!

Of course, there are several honorable mentions:  the card keeper box, cello bags, kraft gift boxes, mini-jingle bells and more! This is one Holiday Mini which hits a bases-loaded home run!

Have fun and stay tuned as I enter into stamping high gear! Until next time…
