Video - Lighted Christmas Tree with Petals-a-Plenty

Inside of Card

This really cute idea is in many places on the internet, however, I haven't seen one done as a tree, then decorated. So I have put my own little spin on this technique.  Below is a video with all supplies listed. Please take time to comment.  I love reading them!

LNS ATC Challenge

This card is for the LNS ATC challenge. Card base is Whisper White with a layer of Marina Mist tinted vellum that I put through the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. The ATC was created with Night of Navy Cardstock layered with the new Marina Mist cardstock (with a wide oval punched out of the center) to allow the double vellum butterfly to sit. The larger of the vellum butterflies was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder. The smaller was embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder which had been coated with Night of Navy ink and put through the Big Shot. Both butterflies were cut out with the #2 Butterfly Sizzix Die and the Big Shot. I used the Scallop border punch for the left side trim and whisper white 1" circles to create the scallop trim for the right side. The sentiment is from the new Artistic Etching set available July 1, 2010.

A Gift for You

I just am crazy about the new ornament punch (#116794, p.25, $15.95) in the new Holiday Mini Catalog. I used the Finial Press Embossing Folder (IBC #115963,p. 195, $7.95) to enhance the red ornament. I embellished the ornaments with my 2 way glue pen and Gold Fine Galaxy Glitter. The background is Brushed Gold CS (IBC #112935, p. 159, $7.95) and a scrap of Old Olive CS embossed with the Finial Press Embossing Folder. I used a piece of twill tape from SU (IBC #116232, Ribbon Originals, p. 182, $9.95). I thought the twill tape had kind of a golden glow that went well with the brushed gold CS. The sentiment is in real red, punched out with the scalloped oval. I used a stamp from the Christmas Punch stamp set (IBC Level 2 Hostess Gift).

Rubbernecker Stamps-Wacky Wednesday #23

This is my first entry for the Rubbernecker Stamps-Wacky Wednesday #23 Rubbernecker Wacky Wednesday is inspired by some of my favorite embossing folders and embosslits. The paper and ribbon is Stampin' Up Melon Mambo and Green Galore (Embosslit Sweetest Stem). The Cuttlebug die cut butterfly hovering above the Prima Marketing flower is on a hidden spiral and embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. A little glitter gel pen adds some bling. The sentiment tag is cut from the SU Modern Label punch (trimmed) and stamped with StazOn.
