{ CPS #197 and my favorite stamp }

I wanted to make a card with my favorite stamp...Cover-a-card Music (CC029) from Impression Obsession. I used CPS #197 for the card. Music stamps are everywhere, but I love this one. The stamp is 5.75x5.75 inches and it's perfect for a standard size card. Standard size A2 - Folded Card Size 4.25" x 5.5"

I used Jeni Bowlin paint dabber to cover my stamp and I love the way it looks. I need to get more colors. I have Stick Candy (used on the card)  and Malted Milk which I used to paint the edges of my paper and cardstock. The paint so easy to apply and it dries really fast.

 I used a sentiment from Swirl Trees (CL196) that I stamped on the left over music cardstock. The snowflake is a Sizzix die that I sprayed with Apple Glimmer Mist. The card is sprayed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist and it sparkles.

I needed a little gift card holder so I came up with this little thing. Can you see a gift card tucked in there? I used a paper sack that I folded in half and sewed along the edges. The sacks are 3 1/2 x 2 x 6 3/4 inches that I got at Hobby Lobby long time ago. Roben-Marie Smith has  Krafty Lace Bags on her blog and a video tutorial on how to make them . I thought this little size would be perfect for a gift card.

 I used Webster's Pages patterned paper and little embellishments that were leftover from Melissa's little kit. I stamped and cut out a little tree from Gift of Love (CL291) that I adhered/tucked on the inside. The little tag is from A Gift For You (CL148) stamp set and it fits perfectly here. In addition, I used a little strip of stamped music paper that was left from the card above. Folding the bag in half makes two little pockets...the front for a gift card and the back one for some treats.

If you need a quick little gift this would be perfect.

Have a great week!

{ December Daily 2010 }

I am doing it again! This will be my third year doing the album. I will be sharing the completed pages this time around. There is a link at the top of my blog ***December Daily 2010*** and that is where I will be posting all the updates.

You can view the foundation pages of the album on Flickr ----> December Daily 2010

{ Technique Tuesday All Stamping Tech Challenge: Color }

Teri challenged us to make a project based on this color scheme. You can see more beautiful examples here.

I used Simply Stated, Message in a Banner, Glee (for the background) and The Cupcakery.



 I stamped the cupcake on patterned paper. Once it was cut I added Stickles.

 I stamped my background with music notes and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I used Shimmerz spray for the background.

For the banner  stamp I was able to use my Cricut and SCAL software to make a template for the base. Once it was cut I just stamped my banner. I used this great tutorial.

***If you missed out on December Daily stamp set by Ali Edwards you can let them know and if enough people sign up they will make more.

I have started my December Daily 2010 album. You can see my completed album and pages
