Work of Art Stamp Set...

 Here is a card that I CASE'D from Sandi MacIver on SCS.  I love how these colors work so well together.

I switched things up on this card and went with a washi tape for the inside of the card instead of using any stamped images.  All of the images seemed to big for the inside of the card.

Watercolor Flowers...

 I don't know who first came up with this idea using the Work of Art stamp set but what a great idea it was!  I have seen several variations and wanted to share it with my customers and you.  To make the flowers, you take the "swish" stamp, ink it up and stamp it around in a circle, keeping a bit of white in the middle for the center of the flower to be stamped in a separate color.  Also, you stamp twice with each inking so you get the light and dark to the flower.  Super easy but really cool too!

Even here on the inside of the card, doesn't it look gorgeous?

My Holiday Gift to My Customers...

I hosted an Open House recently to celebrate Christmas and thank my customers for their support this year.  I hope that everyone had a great time.  These are the three projects that they were able to make while enjoying some spiced cider and cookies.

When punching the scallop circles for the flower on top of the box, I used three layers of the crepe filter paper and one piece of copy paper.  The copy paper is needed to give the filter paper enough support to be punched.
