<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It is hard to believe it has been almost 1 year since my last post!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">That totally sounds like a confession to me :-0 !!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It is my intention to get back on track, after a long, unfortunate year, and start posting again...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I will share with you some of the cards I have created(with the intention of posting)over the past year in my next post.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Thought:I love these whales from the new stamp set and sizzlits die "Oh, Whale!" found in our spring occasions catalog, but I don't want my whaley to be lonely...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So, may I introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Moby?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This card is on a card base of whisper white,with a layers of basic gray and another layer of whisper white topping it off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The top bough is made from our large scallops edgelits die.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The color is calypso coral. Run your die through the big shot like this:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YdPEzPaxKas/URF0KBLajtI/AAAAAAAABVA/HEabvXZrxB8/s1600/January+2013+059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YdPEzPaxKas/URF0KBLajtI/AAAAAAAABVA/HEabvXZrxB8/s320/January+2013+059.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">so sweet!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The heart and Mr. Moby and anchor are cut from basic gray card stock and the Hearts a Flutter Framelit Die and our Happy Whale Clearlits die. A second whale is cut in calypso coral, the soon to be Mrs. Moby.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I used the Sale-a-bration stamp set "Pretty Petites' and coordinating punch 'Petite Curly Label',which I earned FREE!!! Well, sort of...don't tell my Mr. Moby that I spent $ to <i>get</i> <i>them free</i> ;)...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I made the Mrs' crown and the 'Mr and Mrs'from our Tiny Tags stamp set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I stamped the waves 3 times consecutively in basic gray ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HOuZmNH0JdA/URF0KqCg-fI/AAAAAAAABVI/fV5olc4xTKc/s1600/January+2013+060.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HOuZmNH0JdA/URF0KqCg-fI/AAAAAAAABVI/fV5olc4xTKc/s320/January+2013+060.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I attached a piece of tulle I had in the stash to the Mrs as a veil...my blushing bride! Use stamping dimensionals to give her the pop she deserves!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QPV5MuS3OPc/URF0KulhLEI/AAAAAAAABVE/1qsbAy3-AN0/s1600/January+2013+061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QPV5MuS3OPc/URF0KulhLEI/AAAAAAAABVE/1qsbAy3-AN0/s200/January+2013+061.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> *Note, I used a black flower behind Mr.s eye and punch a whole for his eye. And a basic pearl for Mrs' eye. I used my basic black and calypso coral marker to create their smiles and eyelashes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AEI28wEGglU/URF0Oih4QiI/AAAAAAAABWI/BzQtCyoX3T8/s1600/January+2013+069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AEI28wEGglU/URF0Oih4QiI/AAAAAAAABWI/BzQtCyoX3T8/s200/January+2013+069.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I though the Mr. needed to be a bit more dashing so I stamped Mr. with the new Beyond plaid stamp set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And because men always feel they are being tied down when they get married, I added an anchor to Mr. with a piece of coral bakers twine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Thought:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I must get back to Stampin'!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">When I saw this cool stamp set from our Saleabration catalog, I just had to have it(of course)!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> The stamp set is called 'Feeling Sentimental" and of course since I am a 'Jersey girl',this ferris wheel reminded me of the recent devastation that our shore towns were dealt with Superstorm Sandy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So, I the wheel started turning...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My first thought was derived from an actual used card from the casinos in Atlantic City(don't worry i didn't lift it ;) I have several decks of used cards from there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_KKWnT4mA6c/UQgohm8ulzI/AAAAAAAABUc/vtaC_L0dKUE/s1600/January+2013+056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_KKWnT4mA6c/UQgohm8ulzI/AAAAAAAABUc/vtaC_L0dKUE/s320/January+2013+056.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I thought about making the background look like the boardwalk,but then decided I wanted to make it a little brighter than wood planks. So, I used our Woodgrain Embossing Folder on Naturals White Card stock. I sponged this with some Island Indigo ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I stamped the ferris wheel image in Not Quite Navy to give it a softer color than the indigo. I added a banner made with the following:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IdxqlNcLcH4/UQgoiZXP6jI/AAAAAAAABUg/hWm15jbtq_U/s1600/January+2013+057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IdxqlNcLcH4/UQgoiZXP6jI/AAAAAAAABUg/hWm15jbtq_U/s200/January+2013+057.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Ticket Punch and 'That's the Ticket' stamp set(available in our new spring catalog)and "Admit <span style="color: red;">One</span>"tangerine tango ink</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">An island Indigo tag made with the 'Hearts a flutter' framelits die and the new stamp set "Ciao,Baby!'(also available in the spring catalog)the <span style="color: red;">"1"</span> stamped in garden green ink</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Another tag made with the 'hearts a flutter framelits and the stamp set"Occasionals Alphabet' <span style="color: red;">"O is for One"</span> stamped in real red</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A strip of island indigo stitched satin ribbon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A knotted strip of real red stitched grosgrain ribbon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and lastly the banner was hung on Island Indigo Baker's twine</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I added the layer of daffodil delight card stock embossed with our Argyle Embossing Folder and lastly, made 2 1" square dice in real red card stock.(punch a hole in the top square and add a white square behind)Another <span style="color: red;">"1!"<span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Now, I think I should take a quick little trip up the parkway, go to Atlantic City, bet on 1, and see if I won???</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As I told you in my previous <a href="http://krisisstampin.blogspot.com/2012/12/trifecta.html" target="_blank">post,</a> I wanted to create a 3-D effect with the stamp set Snow much Fun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I started with a card base of pacific point blue(my oldest son loves this color!, which is saying a lot because he is a teenager I mostly just get grunts as answers and he usually doesn't like anything unless it has to do with food or sports:-0)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">You will need 2 pieces of pacific point blue. The 1st will be 4 1/4"x 11". The 2nd will be 2 1/2"x 6 1/8".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The 1st piece of card stock(the card base) is scores on the 11' side at 5 1/2",7",9",and at 10 1/2".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The smaller piece(the front) is scored on the 6 1/8' side at 4" and 5 1/2". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The layer for the front is a piece of early espresso measuring 2 3/8" and 4 7/8". And a piece of whisper white card stock measuring 2 1/4" x4 3/4". I stamped the snowman image in black staz-on ink and colored in the snowman image with my SU! markers. I then used the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awvGru7M0mo" target="_blank">epsom salt technique</a> to make a snow image effect over my piece of whisper white.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8_XMz9I9rE/ULteTB2_V8I/AAAAAAAABTA/vdr2pKN2De0/s1600/100_1666.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8_XMz9I9rE/ULteTB2_V8I/AAAAAAAABTA/vdr2pKN2De0/s320/100_1666.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">After drying I attached the layers to the smaller piece of pacific point blue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">On the card base, I crease my folds and create a square at the base, attaching to the card at the 10 1/2 score mark.(make sure your base makes a square so it sits well):seen at the base of this picture.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Then attach the bottom of the smaller piece of pacific point to this square base. I then fold this flat as it would fit in your envelope and put adhesive to the back of the the smallest strip. Open your card base back up and attach in a parallel to your bottom square.(as in above pictures).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Make sure you can fold it flat at this point to fit in your envelope.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> The fence post is made using 5 strips of 2 1/2"x 3/8" in crumb cake ,cut at the end with our jewelry tag punch and embossed with our new Woodgrain textured impressions embossing folder, and 2 strips 4 1/4"x1/4" for the back(whatever would you call that??).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The bough is made from old olive card stock cut with our large scallop edgelits framelit. Those cute little bows are made by placing 2 hearts in baja breeze from the owl punch together(and used my baja breeze marker to darken centers)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G9lKz7YI2pk/ULteT8wQliI/AAAAAAAABTI/Aka3nlxkiqY/s1600/100_1667.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G9lKz7YI2pk/ULteT8wQliI/AAAAAAAABTI/Aka3nlxkiqY/s320/100_1667.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Attach fence to the front square.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I added some more epsom snow to my card and some small (non Su!- do you believe I had no current snowflake stamp set or accessory with snow flakes??) punched snowflakes to the base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hope you enjoy this fellow!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These are the cards we created at this months class!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I borrowed the set from my friend Karen(hi!)and of course, since it was one of the on-line extravaganza specials, I ordered it :-O </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These cards are definitely SNOW MUCH FUN! as the name of the stamp set suggest ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I wanted to make these cards all a 3-D style to teach my class a few different folds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">We will go left to right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I will share my directions in <span style="color: #cc0000;">3 different posts</span>, so you will need to check back this week for the next 2 cards!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The <span style="color: #cc0000;">1st card</span> is a simple step card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xOpymR00MI8/ULtWNPz1ssI/AAAAAAAABSI/Vb09sl8VHME/s1600/100_1676.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xOpymR00MI8/ULtWNPz1ssI/AAAAAAAABSI/Vb09sl8VHME/s320/100_1676.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> These are quite the trend and you can find various directions all over the web, but I will tell you mine.I did not take pictures as I went but will try to add them later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My card base is made of a piece of pool party card stock measuring 5 1/2"x8 1/2".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I score this on the 8 1/2" length at 1",2",3 1/4",4 1/2"and 6 1/2".Then mountain,valley fold.With the one inch fold being the one in the front.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I used 2 strips of approx 2"x5 1/2" pieces of pool party and embossed with the big shot and our Delicate Designs Folders. I used our Large Scallop Edgelits Die to cut these pieces into waves and hills as I like to call them ;) .Then attatched to my card in any manner you like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I stamped my snowmen and trees on a piece of glossy white card stock. I used a white crayon to make the crayon resist technique for my snowmen and snowball.Then, colored in with various SU! markers. I sponged over my images with baja breeze ink. Then wiped with a tissue to bring out the bright white of my snowmen. I trimmed around my snowmen LOL, I didnt make it super close,but <b>you</b> can if <b>you want</b>. I like to say I am just plain <i>Snooow Lazy</i> :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I added my snowmen,ball and trees where I thought they would look nicely when you looked at the card from the front for the 3-D image.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y89W14qr5zg/ULtbmLXee-I/AAAAAAAABSc/sqoz1hpCM5A/s1600/100_1675.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y89W14qr5zg/ULtbmLXee-I/AAAAAAAABSc/sqoz1hpCM5A/s320/100_1675.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> I had a little extra white glossy white card stock sponged with the baja so I punched some circles to make a pile of snowballs in front of my tree and added a portion of the saying from the stamp set and trimmed with my paper snips to make a "snow much fun" banner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hope you enjoyed!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hello Friends!!!Since it is now October, I guess I should share with you something 'Halloweenie'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This is a project I came up with for our last get together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I always think I need something other than candy to give to the kids, so being the caregiver that I am...I decided to add Bandaids and Hershey Kisses to my treat bags!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I made the card inside the bag on my My Digital Studio...My bad, I trimmed it a bit too much(oops). It was basically a square framed in Gumball Green with the saying "Just for", adding twice in riding hood red ink the 'booo' from the Googly Ghouls set. Now of course I took pics of this page sheet but darned if I could find my pics!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The mummy is from our Googly Ghouls stamp set...I just couldnt resist!! And the treat bags and tags came from the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit-everything included in there! How great is that!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I stamped my mummy in basic black ink on one of the tags and added a riding hood red heart from the stamp set Lovely Little Labels. And of course, he needed his 1 googlie eye! I attached the mummy tag and extra circle punched circle with pumpkin pie bakers twine and a glimmer brad to my glassine bag, which I stamped the spider web in basic gray from the Hostess set "Mixed Medley".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This will be used to create a pocket for gift cards or money gift. Fold over and tape sides to create this pocket:<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lNgbotWVLy0/UFi8h2jgz6I/AAAAAAAABPw/OQ9b-hgyOkY/s1600/wellwishesbox6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lNgbotWVLy0/UFi8h2jgz6I/AAAAAAAABPw/OQ9b-hgyOkY/s400/wellwishesbox6.jpg" width="225" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> and partially punch the TOP of the inside piece for your pocket(shown in finished picture above).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Attach the smaller square directly to the center bottom of the larger square. This creates your bottom box. I added a cake by using just a 1" strip and a 2 1/2" circle punch, some basic black ribbon and a flower made with brushed gold cs and the 5 petal flower punch.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">To the lid box I added a layer of whisper white,basic black satin ribbon,and a brushed gold flower made with the floral fusions sizzlit and a basic rhinestone. I created a tag with basic black ink and the stamp 'Happy Anniversary' from Teeny Tiny wishes and tucked it under the flower. I rolled with my bone folder and placed a stampin' dimensional to create a 3-D effect banner.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i><b>Thought</b></i>: I saw this cute little guy a while back and thought I need to make a card out of him! He was originally made(I hope I am giving credit where it is rightfully due;)) by <a href="http://dostamping.typepad.com/dostamping_with_dawn/2012/04/stampin-up-cow-punch-art-got-milk.html" target="_blank">Dawn O</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">,as a topper for our SU! 1x8 bags.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I was working on an idea to go along with my Awash with Flowers class last month. I was trying to think out of the box and thought of using the solid flower images looked like spots on a cow, so...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I started with a whisper white card and stamped the solid flower images from the Awash with Flowers set in basic black ink. I used blush blossom,basic black,basic grey,whisper white,early espresso card stocks and basic grey from the neutrals DSP pack, for my punch art. I took some pics of my punch art so you can see how I did my fellow:</span></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> *Note* as many know I am a paper scrap LOVER! I try to get the most out of all my paper. To do this I used a square piece of blush blossom and punch my images from the center of this, leaving the edges so they can still layer behind the basic grey DSP.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I wanted my cow to be peeking out of the stall, and saying something 'mooovelous'! I used the occasions alphabet and with a basic black marker changed my t's to d's.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Happy Mothers Day to all the mommys!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Thought:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This is a really cool technique I have to share with you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Did you know that you could emboss with our framelits dies?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Well how about making your embossing really stand out?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This was another card that we did this month with the Awash with Flowers set. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I love pink and brown together!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">For this card front I use a piece of chocolate chip cs (4-1/4"x5-1/2"). I used a framelit template to mask a section of my chocolate cs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I versamarked with my flower stamp and then heat embossed with our melon mambo embossing powder.(I did one with the Awash with Flowers set and on with the Mixed Bunch set)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Now to the next step:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">You have a couple options here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">1. You can emboss with an embossing folder (such as the lattice shown)o</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">2. Or you can leave your card stock smooth:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Using your BigShot make the following sandwich:</span></div>
<div style="color: #0b5394; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Tab 1</span></div>
<div style="color: #0b5394; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">card stock to be embossed</span></div>
<div style="color: #0b5394; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">framelit-cut side UP!</span></div>
<div style="color: #0b5394; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">These cutie pies were a sample for my monthly class, featuring the soon retiring stamp set Awash with Flowers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I wanted to show the group different ways that you could use the flowers. I am not sure who originally came up with this idea,but I had seen it at regionals a couple years ago,and this gave me perfect excuse to create these cuties;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I wanted to showcase my girls so I decided on a shadow box card. To do this, you take 2 same sized pieces of cs,these I did in whisper white and daffodil delight and whisper white and pool party. These are 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I cut out a window in the center of my card with our framelits labels collection. I then embossed with our houndstooth EF. *Note* this may alter the size of your card stock so you may need to trim the white piece to match the colored piece.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Score from each side 1/2" and 1".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SP9ov3ko-5g/T617R2IxkkI/AAAAAAAABKI/VDf1576I1vU/s1600/blog+pix+may+2012040.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SP9ov3ko-5g/T617R2IxkkI/AAAAAAAABKI/VDf1576I1vU/s320/blog+pix+may+2012040.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(not sure if you can see in this pic?)but this shows right side. Also do left and the whisper white as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Stamp your flower outline upside down in black ink. 2 step the inside color with coordinating stamp. Pick out your 'momma' and stamp her head directly above her body. Add arms and heels. Color your image,add embellishments too! I added a crown from the stamp set Tiny Tags and her purse from Family Business and off course some pearls! where the framelit window will show through.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Fold score lines and make a 'box', having the center raised. Attach both ends(only) with adhesive.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I added a framelit cut from whisper white with a saying(from the stamp set You're A Gem) for my cutie pies:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Here are 2 versions. The 2nd sample has some added cut out flowers from Awash with flowers and leaves from the 2 step bird punch, as well as some daffodil ribbon bows on the sides.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">What? A technique??? hmmmm, I smell something burning. I hope it is that romantic fireplace behind this front door ;) </span><i><b> </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i><b>Thought:</b></i> I used a step card to create a door.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The card base is a piece of bravo burgundy cs,measuring 4-1/4"x 10-1/2". I scored the 10-1/2"side at 5". Placing the 10-1/2"side along the 1". From the score mark(5"),cut to 9-1/2". Flip this over and do the same to the other side,making parallel slits. Turn your card to the 4-1/4". At the 5-1/4" mark make a score line on the INSIDE only. This will be the top of your door. Score at the 9-1/2" and 9-1/4" on both of the OUT-Sides only. This will give you the 'step' at the bottom of your door. From here, you can flip over</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(this way they are raised)</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> and make panels as you like on the door. I distressed with our distressing kit,using the mahogany ink and the smooth stamp. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l_EaN3orVDI/TxoifyneNmI/AAAAAAAABD4/c46TtXVXT1k/s1600/january2012+092.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l_EaN3orVDI/TxoifyneNmI/AAAAAAAABD4/c46TtXVXT1k/s320/january2012+092.JPG" width="212" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I made 2-1"x4-3/4" panels with the 'brick'-look DSP from our Well Worn</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> DSP. And another smaller panel 3/4'x4-1/4" for the step front. I distressed these as well. On the door itself, I stamped a heart (in Early espresso ink) from the new ss Take It To Heart on Kraft cs and cut out with the new Hearts Collection Framelits. I added a 'Mr. and Mrs.' from Tiny Tags ss and double-punched with our jewelry tag punch. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mvbmp4blnIk/Txoiei6TvWI/AAAAAAAABDw/SZvD4HHdod8/s1600/january2012+091.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mvbmp4blnIk/Txoiei6TvWI/AAAAAAAABDw/SZvD4HHdod8/s320/january2012+091.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I also used the '4'you and the jewelry tag punch as my house numbers to the side of the door.

I stamped my Trendy Tree SS image on a square piece of window sheet(I can't remember the measurement-oops!,but I just went slightly bigger than the opening of my window)in CRAFT old olive ink. I then sprinkled our Heat and Stick Powder over this image, and then heat set with embossing gun.
