Wonderland Cards

Smiley from Millan.Net Smiley from Millan.Net Smiley from Millan.Net
Have you seen the beautiful Wonderland stamp set in this year's Holiday Catalog?  The evergreen trees image is so pretty and so easy to work with!
 This card was one from my 10 for $20 class.  It only uses white cardstock.  Really!  After stamping the trees in Basic Black, I tore the bottom of that piece of cardstock, and then sponged Soft Sky ink in the center and added Island Indigo around the outside edges.  The base of the card is our new Thick Whisper White cardstock.

 This card was one I saw on display at a recent Creative Convention.  Doesn't it make you think of a quiet, starry night?

 I love the use of Blackberry Bliss on this card by Yvette.  The bottom is some of of our Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper with a little bit of the Winter Wonderland Designer Washi Tape.

 This card was made by stamping on the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It's such a cool technique!  I took the Soft Sky ink pad and applied it to the embossing folder (the side where the trees are indented).  Then the Wonderland trees were inked with Mossy Meadow and stamped ON the embossing folder over the Soft Sky ink.  The Whisper White cardstock was then placed in the embossing folder and run through the Big Shot.  This is the result!  Isn't it cool?

HAPPY STAMPING!

Howl-o-ween Treat Cards

Smiley from Millan.Net
I'm not a big Halloween person... although I do love all of the fun-sized chocolate that's available this time of year!  So I don't usually purchase stamp sets that are exclusive to Halloween.  But when I saw the adorable owl in the Howl-o-ween Treat set, I knew I had to get it.  My daughter loves anything owl, and so I tend to look for cute owl items.  I find it hard to resist.  Sort of like resisting chocolate...
 Smiley from Millan.Net
The card above was made by one of my stamp clubs.  The rest were from a display made by Dawn Bourgette at the Creative Convention I attended a month ago.  ALL of these cards feature images from the Howl-o-ween Treat stamp set.



 
 Even the spider in this set is cute!

And here's that adorable owl pretending he's a bat...
