Rainbows with WOW

This month's theme at the WOW blog is rainbows and I hade tons of ideas involving pretty bold and beautiful rainbow cards. Well, for some reason I ended up with this card instead. It's not very bold but I really like it! I used a new embossing powder called Fools Gold and I think its gold with some pink-ish glitter in it. It's super pretty and with the lace stamp (also by WOW) it looked so lovely I had to abandon my wild ideas and make a rainbow backdrop with the sentiment instead. 

You really should take art of this month's challenge, rainbows are so much fun! Hop on over to the WOW blog, there will be rainbow coloured inspiration all month long.

Improvised Christmas ornaments

I made some Christmas ornaments using some of my Hero Arts sets. I only own one HA Christmas set and I wanted to try to improvise to stretch my stamps. I used a brush stroke circle for the ornaments, stamped it twice to make the colors pop more on the kraft background. Then I embossed a cicle and some leaves on top of it. Lastly I used another brushstroke stamp to make a reflection in the ornaments. I also used the Stepping Stone alpha to spell out the word joy. Lots of stamps on this cards. And a small alpha of unknown brand. Pretty happy with the card concidering nothing is really ment for Christmas. Gotta love the stretch your stamps classes from onlinecardclasses.com. I guess something stuck ;)

I hope you got some ideas how to make something out of something else. There is probably better ways to make ornaments but this is what I came up with. Thanks for stopping by!

I was in the zone the other night, making Christmas cards and listening to a good audio book. I was going to make one card for a DT post later this week but I ended up making three. For this I used a couple of Hero Arts stamps and the deer head cut file I created for Pretty Crafty Stuff. When I made it I saw it in my head all gold embossed and 3d mounted with threads behind. I love the deer head trend. I also made a raindeer, a fox and a bunny to keep him company. 

Anyways, I wanted to frame him så I stamped a background from Hero Arts and just masked the middle of the card using a PostIt. It's very pretty this card, don't you think? I never get my gold thread as perfectly nested as other people do, mine looks all messy and uneven. But I keep trying. One day I'll learn. 

Thanks for stopping by! There will be more Christmas in the blog soon. Promise! And I don't even send out Christmas cards, more than to the closest family. But I'm in a Cristmas-y mood lately.

From WOW! Embossing Powder:

And here's my project! I love wood grain paper, I've got tons of them. You might say I hoard them. This one was a really nice one with the gray-ish color. It made a great background for my layout. The picture is of my kids playing with their cousin, I just love this picture.

I have used Opaque Bright White embossing powder from WOW! for the wood shape and the cork hearts. From Ruby Rock-it I've used the Country Cookin wood veneers, droplet stickers, twine, Crate 12x12 paper, die-cuts and tags. 

The next blog to hop to is the amazing June Goh. 

Enjoy the hop!

Fight like a girl

Jolly Holly Days

Today I made a christmas card for DESIGN in PAPERS using some Lawn Fawn and IdigoBlu stamps. I think it turned out really pretty, the colors gives me a christmas tree feel. I embossed the ornaments and then colored my background with Distress ink, stamped some little branches with needles on and some snow flakes and added a bit of gold mist. Tadaaaa! 

Is it really time to make christmas cards already??? I just realized it's really fall outside, time just passes too fast for my taste. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will have a great day <3

Card and a pair of ear rings

These are the last two creations for WOW! to take to their trade shows. This card I was really happy with. I used a mask that I cut with my Cameo to make the embossed dots in the background. I also embossed the gold banner and the text on the vellum on top. Very pretty!

Then I got this idea to make ear rings. i used shrink plastic and embossed it to make the triangles. Then I thought it looked a bit plain, I cut out a couple of circles out of corc and embossed it to make it shiny and a bit more sturdy. I used some old ear rings to put it all together and was happy with my new ones.

See you another day, take care!
