• Recollections black gemstone embelishment
• Glitter yellow paper, purple paper and twall paper

I hope you are inspired!!!!!

Hugz,

Congratulations!!!!

I've been eying these scissors from the Sentimentals cart for quite some time and finally got to use them because my friend recently got a new job as a hair stylist!! YAY!! :)Unfortunately, the card did not photograph very well.  The paper that looks pink is really a light shade of purple.

Again the scissors and the mirror were cut using the Sentimentals cart. I used a congrats stamp directly on the reflective paper and then covered it with a piece of a transparency, so the stamp wouldn't scratch off.  I used a bunch of adhesive gemstones on the mirror and scissors.

I decided to make the card an easel card.

 

I used glittery silver ribbon. As you can see I embossed a 4"x5" sheet of black paper with the Sizzex Cheetah embossing folder.

The sentiment on the inside of the card says "To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.
The picture below photographed well; you can see the purple paper rather well.

I meant for the card to be a little on the wild side, but not over the top. I think I succeeded. :)

Peacock Feather Greeting Card

This is an absolute favorite of mine!!!! I made this card for my BF. She and I really love peacock feathers, so I thought it would be fitting for her Christmas Card instead of going with the traditional Christmas theme.

I like this card because it doesn't necessarily have to be a Christmas card. It could be for a Birthday or Just Because.

The feather was cut from the Sentimentals cartridge, and once I mounted it together I embossed it. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment was cut using the Wild Card cartridge, and I mounted it on squares cut by a guillotine cutter, and used a corner punch for each corner. Both the feather and the sentiment were pop-dotted onto the card.

I used blue and purple glitter glue for the feather and lime green glitter glue for the sentiment. The lime green ribbon came from Pat Catan's.
 

I used the same color paper for the inside, that was used for the center of the feather, and a stamp for the inside. Like I said, I'm in love with this card!!!
