Autumn I Miss You
Aside from the Crumb Cake card base, the rest of the card is made usin
g scraps! The leaf was my inspiration, so as I looked thru scraps the card just fell into place. The pattern paper is from the Just Add Cake collection and together with the Peach Parfait, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla cardstock the card does shout Autumn! I am getting ready to send a stack of cards to Operation Write Home, so the "I Miss You" sentiment will be put to good use. Speaking of scraps, do you ever wonder weather or not scraps are worth saving? Well, they are! I have one drawer in my cabinet that is just cardstock scraps. They are sorted by color family so it is easy to pull out what I need to punch a shape or stamp on. I try to only save scraps that are at least 2 inches wide/long. And my scraps do come in handy as the card shows! Have a great day and find yourself a little scrappin' time!

Halloween Hang-ups
H
ard to believe that it is time to start thinking about Halloween as I am still in Summer mode! One product I rarely ever use is the stampin' around wheel. When I was able to preorder from the Holiday mini, I did order the Halloween Hang-Ups jumbo wheel because I thought it was cute and because I should demo it even though it is not one of my favorite items. (By the way, if you are a customer of mine the Holiday Mini should be in your mailboxes soon or it might have already arrived at your house.) The base of my card is Lucky Limeade and I stamped on a purple cardstock that is retired. I also used the pretty Tangerine Tango Polka Dot ribbon and the Happy Halloween sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set on page 157 of the IB&C. Have a great day!

Scrap Pages with Spice Cake
Do you know how often I have used the color More Mustard? Probably never! Not really~~that's an exaggeration. I will say though that the More Mustard you see on these two pages probably came from the same pack of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock I purchased when I first became a SU demo 3 1/2 years ago. And not only that, but I used miscellaneous brads (not SU) which were included with a set of brads I purchased years ago and thought I would never use! You are seeing a lot of this Spice Cake paper and I haven't even created anything using the Pear Pizzazz patterns that are included in this DSP pack. I will work on that! Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time.

Oh My. . .
Saturday, August 6, 2011
I was cleaning up my scraproom and came across three roses that I had watercolored a few weeks ago. I read that you can make stamped images three-dimensional by cutting out the same image at varying points and then layering. That is what I did with the three roses. I left the bottom layer alone. I then trimmed along the petals to make the next layer a little smaller. And then the third layer I cut more petals off. I used Stampin' Up Dimensionals between the layers and the result is very "dimensional". This particular image was very easy to cut as it is a larger image and the outline of the rose was embossed. It might be more difficult to achieve if using a smaller image, but the dimensional look can still be achieved. Hope you all have a great weekend.
