I can't wait to try some of the things I learned. This things are hard to go to because you put teachers in front of computers and they play instead of doing what the teacher is doing, then they have to ask what they missed. It's annoying also when they have questions about something they are doing that they are not supposed to be doing. In spite of that it was a good workshop.
In the wee hours of the morning Tim left on a trip to Texas for a fish convention. He was up at 3:30 a.m. with a check in at 5 a.m. This is the first time he's been gone since the kids were little. It's pretty weired and will be more so when I go to sleep tonight.
I have been busy making things for the craft show the 18th and 19th.
See what you think.
This box for cards was made using a piece of glossy paper. I used alcohol and reinker on a piece of felt and stamped all over the glossy card. When that was dry I stamped in versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder. I cut out a border in white paper and added it to the front. Then I added the center pieces in the circle. The box stays closed with a small piece of velcro.
I stamped pine needles all over white cardstock. Then I used a 3/4" punch for the square and ran it through the crimper. Next I used the small petal from the Blossom Petals punch. I then added 3-D lacquer to the bulbs and added some SU silver glass glitter. I attached them with silver cord.
For this card I used the Berry Christmas designer paper for the background. Next I stamped Merry Christmas on white. Next I punched out the stocking in red and silver glitter paper. I ran the stocking pieces and the red strip of paper through the cuttlebug to emboss them. I glued the stocking together then added a jingle bell with silver cord. Loved how this came out.
This was a quick and easy card to make. I stamped the star first then added Joy with navy using my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up Joy. I bordered this with the silver paper and then the navy paper.

I stamped the pine needles in garden green and artichoke. I added pinecones to the corners to frame Joy. I used the silver paper behind the red. I added striped ribbon to make the text stand out a bit more.

On this card I wanted to experiment and see what the silver paper would look like embossed. I really like it. I embossed it with the smae folder as the background. I stamped the stocking and added silver pieces punched out with the stocking punch.
This is one card that will go into the card holder at the top. It was another easy one to make.
Here's the video, see what you think.
Well,
I've got to get some dinner and cards made.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,

You've certainly been busy creating cards! They're lovely. My favorites are the ones with the pine needles. Thank you for sharing that song, too.
