Another Brick in the Wall

Good evening!  It was another gorgeous fall day here in my part of the world.  Have I mentioned how much I love this season?  I love the crisp, fresh air, the changing leaves and all the yummy food that is associated with this time of year.....mmmmm.  But I digress, that really has nothing to do with the card I'm going to share with you tonight.  This is the second card that we did at my techniques class last week.  We were working on using the "Brick Wall" technique and for this card I stepped it up a notch and was very happy with the result.

We started by stamping the flowers from the "My Friend" stamp set using VersaMark ink and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder on Midnight Muse cardstock.  I love the way the flowers just pop off the page.

We finished off the cards with 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and the new ribbon sliders (available in Stampin' Up's Holiday Catalogue).  You can get a spool of the 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon FREE right now from Stampin' Up....contact me to learn how.

I'm approaching my 100th post!  To celebrate, I'm planning to give away some BLOG CANDY.  Become a follower of my blog to be eligible for the blog candy and stayed tuned for my 100th post in the next couple of days.

Happy Stamping!

Blooming Bricks

It was another gorgeous day here in my part of the world.  I "enjoyed" my first day back at my regular fitness class this morning and boy am I ever feeling it now!  I'm not sure if I'll even be able to roll out of bed tomorrow morning.   Hunching over my crafting desk hasn't really helped but I'd like to share one of the cards I'll be do tomorrow evening at my Technique Tuesday's class.

I find this particular technique a little time consuming but it's nice to do for a unique card that you want to give to someone special.  For this brick wall I used the "Blooming with Kindness" set....which I absolutely LOVE!!!  I decided to stick with a monochromatic look here so that things didn't get too busy.  The DSP is from the "Orchard Harvest" package in Stampin' Up's Holiday Catalogue. 

Not too much else to say about this one except that there is still lots of space in tomorrow's class....just email me and let me know you're coming and I'll have the supplies ready for you : )

Happy Stamping!
