card swap

So, here is my last post for today.

This is the card that I made for my Christmas card swap for my Cabana group.

It is a tri-fold card made with bazzill bling card stock and closed with a ribbon tie. The snowflakes were stamped and then embossed with holgraphic embossing powder to give them a sparkle. The sentiment is stamped with a midnight blue ink.

The picture doesn't really do it justice. It came out really nice.

Accordian Folders

OK...so here is another first for me. I tried my hand at accordian folders. I think they came out pretty good. I am happy with them.

I used Fancy Pants paper and the stamps are a Magnolia Ornament and Tilda with Yule Hat.
This is what they look like from the side opened up:

Tilda Drawers

I wanted to post a picture of the set of drawers that I did. It was the first time I did something like this and I think it came out pretty good.

I used Chatterbox papers (my favorite line!)...and dotted the top with dew drops. The stamp I used on the top is called Tilda holding Magnolias.


This is what it looks like from the top with the drawers open. Like a dummy, I forgot to take a picture of it from the side. But, the drawers fronts are color coordinated and have little brad "pulls" on them.
I think for my first attempt, it came out pretty good. I just wish I took a picture of the sides.


Sweet Tilda

This is Tilda sitting on a cupcake. Sorry the lighting is not so great.
I used a Quickutz for the cupcake and cherry. I used mulburry paper for the wrapper so it would look kind of moist, and a Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch for the bottom of the frosting.
This is the inside of the card:

Well...I suppose it's time I posted something!

This is a monochrome card I made...a first for me. I tried using only black, white, and gray. Then for a splash of fun, I used red and some glossy accents on her boots to make them look shiny! Monochrome is harder than you think! It's not so easy to get different shades of gray.
