Holiday Paperwhites

I love receiving paperwhites as a gift. I also love making them out of (of course) PAPER! See how-to below.

Card Ingredients: ek success small flower punch (not shown),
punch bunch vase, Creative memories circle punch.
The stems are from a Sizzix bigz Tulip die but can be hand cut or paper trimmings.

Simply Merry Christmas

I wanted to try non-traditional with today's wreath. I also wanted to make it quick. I die cut the wreath with two SB circles and the bow is die cut from dark brown card stock to coordinate with the brown sentiment and chevrons.

Sandy Birthday and Christmas

For the Color Challenge over at Splitcoaststamps our hostess presented these colors to create a card or project. OLD OLIVE, CHERRY COBBLER, SAHARA SAND AND FOR DESSERT - GET OUT the DISTRESSING TOOLS  I did a little distressing with white chalk ink on the edges of the flowers.

Second Project

I glued an old Economics book page to card stock and die cut Tim Holtz Holly and branch. I sponged with Distress inks peeled paint, fired brick and walnut stain. The background is partially stamped with Penny Black “Letter Background” in white using a Faber-Castell PITT White artist pen directly to stamp. The splatter is from a Wink of Stella White shimmer Brush pen and Cloud White VersaMagic was used around the distressed edges.
