An Apple (or two) for You

Here's another Perfectly Preserved card I made using the cute apples.  I did follow a sketch layout that I saw at the "Freshly Made Sketches" blog from last week.  The directions were that we could use any of the past layouts in honor of their one year anniversary.  Can you tell which one I used?? : )

All new goodies....so much fun.  I stamped one apple in Raspberry Ripple onto Raspberry Ripple card stock and the other was stamped with Cajun Craze ink onto Cajun Craze card stock.  I also used the Large Scallop Edgelit and matching Delicate Designs embossing folder (love it).  The next picture isn't the best...but here's the side/close up.

Wonderful You

Here's another simple card using the Perfectly Preserved stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalog. I sponged Pool Party ink into the jar to make it look like there was water in it.  I added the flowers using my Raspberry Ripple ink and the Cannery Framelits and popped the center of the flower with a Champagne Glimmer circle using the Cupcake Builder punch ... and there you have it! Now who wouldn't love to get one in the mail? : )

Ho-Ho-Ho!

Here's a quick card I made this morning using the hostess set "Christmas Wishes" from the Holiday mini catalog. A very simple card....but it was fun to make.  I embossed Mr. St.Nick in Basic Black craft pad, and painted his beard and eyebrows with Frost White Shimmer paint and then I used my Dazzling Details glitter to fill in his hat cuff and the little ball on the top of his hat.

 I think it's easier to see the shimmer paint and glitter in the picture below.

 I also added some Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine and a jingle bell to the rim of his hat.

Doesn't he look jolly?  Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!  Annette

Sparkling Mummy

Yes, the mummy on this "buckle" card is sparkling with fright. : )  Not sure if you can see it, but he's definitely festive.  Mr. Mummy is sponged in  More Mustard ink followed by sponging in Basic Gray around him. He's then topped off with some sparkle using my Dazzling Details glitter.  Way to dress up, Mr. Mummy! : )

 I used my Word Window punch to make the "buckle" slot on the left to open the card.

 And then Mr. Spider is there to greet you.....

 And then all I can say is..... BOOO....to you!
