Friends Card

I was playing around with the Vintage Vogue stamp set from the new Occasions Mini Catalogue and this is a card I came up with.  I love this stamp set!  I used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder for my background.  The "F", the flower and the greeting are all heat embossed in Very Vanilla.  The center of the flower has a small vanilla grommet in the middle.  I then filled the center with Crystal Effects & of course, Dazzling Diamonds glitter

The Aftermath!

december,08 007

WOW!!!  Yes, this is my workspace after I finished the calendar.  I really did work like this!  I'm sure some of you can relate to this! LOL!!  I was even using my cutter and Big Shot on the floor as i seemed to have run out of room on my table!  I have some other projects to share with you in the next few days.

Calendar

This, of course, is December's page.  This layout is on the gorgeous Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer paper from the Holiday Mini Catalogue.  You can't get the full effect of this paper, but it does shimmer.  The ornaments are stamped in Real Red and Garden Green Craft ink and then heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  I used the Delighful Decorations stamp set and punched them out with the coordinating Ornament Punch.  I also used the Silver Cord to "hang" them.  The items in the Holiday Mini are only available until January 4th.december,08 020

Calendar Continued

This layout is on Going Grey cardstock.  The background is stamped with the "swirls" from Priceless in Going Grey ink.  The accent colours are Brilliant Blue and Crushed Curry.  The animal accents are from Fox & Friends (Occasions Mini Catalogue) and Look Who's Turning.  I love the Fox & Friends set!  You probably can't tell, but I used Dazzling Diamonds glitter on each of the animals.  As I said, i kept the layouts very simple and used accents only to fill in empty spaces.december,08 015
