I’m visiting my two month old granddaughter this week and enjoying every single minute!! Before I left home I made enough cards to post each day but I’ve had trouble finding the time to actually post! I can’t seem to tear myself away from her!!
My card today uses the same layout as the gingerbread card from several days ago but the orientation is different. I topped the Christmas tree with a star using the silver glimmer paper. Can you see the little pearls on the tree?
Look at this cute little face!
Thank you for stopping by!

Today I have another Tri-fold Shutter card for you. I used the same beautiful paper as the one HERE but I switched around the panels. My cute little reindeer inside is from the set Jolly Bingo Bits. There are so many different images in this set and I have definitely used it quite frequently in the last month! My sentiment was cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits and sponged with Gumball Green. This card would also be cute with photographs on some of the panels. The beauty of this card is that it folds up and is the same size as a traditional card.
Take Care,
Tracy

Today I have a card that was inspired by Sandi MacIver over at Stamping and Blogging. I think this card is pretty but it is lacking something. Sandi used Snowflake Soiree and I think that set just gives a better overall effect (at the time I made this card, I didn’t have Snowflake Soiree). The snowflake images are bigger and stand out more, although some may like a card that is softer, like this one. After embossing my images onto my Shimmery White cardstock, I sponged on Baja Breeze and then, Not Quite Navy. Then I stamped more images with Not Quite Navy. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement of my greeting!

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like these colors together but I love them! I used Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant. My inspiration came from Catherine Pooler who brayered a card with these colors but I sponged my color onto Whisper White cardstock. First, I used my new stamp set, Snowflake Soiree (LOVE IT) and stamped the snowflakes with Versamark. My smallest snowflake on the greeting is from the set Jolly Bingo Bits. I sprinkled white embossing powder and heated it up with my heat tool. I never get tired of watching the magic happen when I emboss!!! After embossing, I sponged Marina Mist using a circular motion all over my card. Then I came in with the Elegant Eggplant. When I was done, I took a tissue and wiped over the top of the card. The embossing resists the ink but I had to wipe away the extra ink sitting on top of the embossed images. I did my greeting in the same way. I was afraid the Elegant Eggplant was a bit too dark on the greeting but I like it! I made another one that I will post tomorrow with the same colors but it is a bit different. I misted my card with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (mixed in a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol) and it glitters beautifully in person.
The ONLINE EXTRAVAGANA starts today!!! If you didn’t get a chance to see my post on Saturday, check out all the details, HERE. You can also download a flyer of all the items on sale! Today ONLY, you can get the Big Shot 20% off. I LOVE my Big Shot. Be sure to also check out my ordering special!!

Today I have my first video for you! I am VERY NERVOUS about the whole thing but what is it they say, you grow when you jump out of your comfort zone? Well I’m definitely out of my comfort zone!! For those of you who follow my blog, I’ve been talking about this for a long time. I am so happy that I’ve finally done it and I know that my videos will just keep getting better. The video is about two minutes long but you wouldn’t believe how many takes it took! Hours and hours!! Good grief! I can laugh at it now!
I decided that my first video would be to show you how to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig (#101049). This is a tool that I had for a LONG time before I started using it on a regular basis (just recently). It really is a great tool for perfect placement of stamped images. I hope the video helps you if you’ve been intimidated to use your Stamp-a-ma-jig! You can find it on page 7 in the 2012-2013 SU! catalog. Also check out page 37 for written directions.
Thanks for stopping by!
Tracy
