Geranium Layout

The PT Posse had a scrap night at the Green Haven Retreat located behind Picture This at the end of October. The place is amazing. Its such a beautiful property and so relaxing. We had food and drinks and hot tub time as well as an entire day/night of creating. I was able to get several sample pages done for the store. The following is one of them.

Damask Gem

SUPPLIES:
Spellbinders labels 18 die
Zva gems
Studio G stamp- happy birthday

Party Glasses

This is a nice and simple card. I used a Memory Box die called party glasses to cut a silhouette into the front of the card. The inside of the card is stamped with a Riley stamp that says "It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full. There's clearly more room for wine." I finished the card off with a black bow tie on the front of the card.

Wine Cards

Here are two more cards that I made with the wine paper from out there scrapbooking. The first card has the Inkadinkadoo stamp I've previously used. The second uses a Studio G happy birthday stamp as well as Spellbinders Inverted Scalloped Circle die.

Glass of wine

Today was the Bus Trip at Picture This. They are so much fun but a lot of work and it gets a little crazy. It seemed like everyone had a ton of fun, everyone bought lots of goodies. But after a day like today its time to curl up on the couch to put my feet up and have a drink! This card matches the mood perfectly!!

Supplies:
Profit green cardstock
White luster cardstock
RILEY "glass half empty" cling stamp
OUT THERE SCRAPBOOKING Bottle of Wine paper

SPELLBINDERS Labels 18 die

Washi Tape Girl's Night

Okay, this was a fun card to make. I bought the wine paper (out there scrapbooking "bottle of wine) that's behind the film strip washi tape and am having the hardest time using it. It's such a busy pattern. The "the ladies are going out" stamp from Inkadinkadoo went well with the wine paper, that much I knew, but it was boring so I added strips of the washi tape on both sides of it. Then I kept adding it because I really liked the look of it; you can see through the filmstrip to the wine.  I think the card works well with the theme of Ladies Night.
Wine and a movie anyone? ;)

Birch Trio

This is one of my favorite dies of the season from Memory Box: Birch Trio. I love it cut out of Papers Best product #bb01 ( realistic birch tree paper) and paired with Pacific Blue cardstock. I added a little black twine from The Twinery and it finished the look. A vertical stamp on tge right would look nice if you wanted a more complete look but I was unable to find any in my stash or at the store that suited the card to my liking.

Cookie Cutter Tree Card

I used a diecut from a multipack of shapes from American Crafts "Holibery" for the tree, Christmas themed Washi Tape, twine, and Echo Park Paper "Vintage Santa".

The Bright Church

This card is an elegant one fitted for those on your Christmas mailing list that have religious views as well those that don't.
I used Cuttlebug's "kassie o's brocade" embossing folder, Memory Box's "country house", Spellbinders Standard Large Ovals, and gold twine.

Starry Night Sleigh Ride

This card was challenging because the sleigh die I used was hard to find something that went well with it and didn't clash or not make sense in the background. I bought the die last year but this was the first time that I had even used it!
Supplies:
Cheery Lynn Christmas Sleigh b140
Reminisce "out of this world" space buddies 12x12 paper
Memory Box Country Landscape

Magnificent Pine with Poinsettias

I LOVE this paper and this die. The turquoise color for Christmas is amazing and this tree is so beautiful. There are four components to this card: Memory Box Magnificent Pine die cut out of pine green cs, MME Mistletoe Magic "mistletoe" paper, EK Success "jewel" edge punch on white cs, and your choice of liquid pearls and stickles (I used white opal, platinum, and xmas red)

Matchbox Giftbox

This project is one that I worked on for the store for the Christmas Extravaganza, the idea was from Leann. I used  Memory Box's new Matchbox die which cuts out two pieces: the box form that you fold for the structure and the decorative outer part that you fild around the box. It was a little hard to figure out at first but once you realize how to put it together its easy. The flower is cut out from a Cheery Lynn Poinsettia die. White grossgrain ribbon was added around the box. The paper I don't remember what it is, but there's a lot of it at the store yet (sorry I didn't save the strip at the bottom for this ), however the second picture is of both sides if that paper if you're interested.

Birds of Sky and Earth

This is an extraordinarily easy card to make. I made six from one sheet of 12x12 imaginisce 400041. Its not as cost effective as the glittery snowmen cards from a few posts ago, but it does make for a very pretty card. I also used ice silver metallic cardstock and textweight for the card base and the bird. The die for the bird is Cheery Lynn "birds of heaven and earth". The tree I cut out of green mirracard using Memory Box "flowering Christmas tree".

Wreath

This is a super simple card to make. All I used was the Martha Stewart Branch punch (you could also use Cheery Lynns die that has multiple branches) and some pine green paper, memory box's sitring bird die, and some red stickles. Assemble!
