Gold Christmas card

I started with a Christmas sentiment found on a recycled card and dry embossed it with an embossing folder by Darcie.  I  liked the gold in this card and kept it as part of the theme throughout. The background paper is by Anna Griffin and gold thread by Martha Stewart. Star button from my stash.

 Thank you for stopping by.

A Basket of Apples

 I made these ATC's for a Facebook group I am in. The apple image is a piece of fabric that I ironed on to white cardstock. Then I dry embossed the whole paper with a Sizzix embossing folder.  I painted white translucent paint over the entire paper and image and added copper perfect pearls. The ribbon notion piece at the bottom tied in a bow is from my mother-in-law stash.

Homecoming Season

With Homecoming season here, I thought I would share a scrapbook page that I did for my nephew's book. Sorry if the picture doesn't look very clear. Either a bad picture or it could be me not wearing my glasses 👓. Anyway, The arrow die cut on the right was cut using my Cricut, the freshman letter stamps are Lawn Fawn, date stamps by Stampin' Up! and the freshman sticker and star stickers are by Sticko.

Cricut Embellishments

 I made some embellishments last year that I don't think I posted on my blog. The die cuts from my Cricut are the background dies, the champagne glasses and the white label - bottom right that has the sentiment stamped inside. Most other dies are by Spellbinders  but there are a few flower stamps that came with matching dies. The stamps range from Deep Red stamps (Champagne bubbles) to Hero Arts ( Love flower and sentiment) and  rest of the flowers are by Stampin Up.
