Embossing resist

Hi Stampers :

 I recieved a beautiful swap card  from     Erika  at Founders circle 2010 ( Below) ) and I just love her card  so I  made one  with slight changes .

I added more flowers  from the stamp set Vintage  Vogue stamp set # 118598  that are embossed with Clear Embossing Powder #109130

Then I added a  Thank you  greeting. 

The card stock colors  are Crumb Cake # 120953  Cherry Cobbler #119685  and Whisper white # 100730   

I also added Basic Pearls #119247 to the center of my flowers

I did all the stamping 1st  then ran  about 3/4 of the whisper white card stock  through my Big shot  with the Perfect Polka dots embossing folder# 117335.

 Thank you Erika  I love  your  card :)

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Christmas Gift card holder ....

Hi Stampers :

I recieved   this   Christmas  gift card holder swap   from Connie  at  Founder circle 2010 .

 I have a video on  this type of gift card holder HERE 

  I love Connie's  swap so much I thought I would made  one with slight  changes. 

I used the Bells & Boughs stamp set #121142 in the Holiday mini.

Instead of ribbon I used the Basic Pearls#119247  for mine.

  The Greeting  inside  on front is  from the  Come to Bethleham stamp set # 120591

I hand cut out  the bells and attached it  to the front  with a dimensional# 104430

Plus  lots of sponging  around the edges of Always Artichoke card stock # 105119 sleeve  with Always Artichoke classic ink # 105219

I used the Eyelet Border punch# 119853  for the bottom  edge of the  sleeve

The center was punched out with the Decorative label punch #120907

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Holly's project #2 ( Christmas )

Hi Stampers :

 Here is  another project we made at Holly's workshop. Here is the Christmas card we made .

I  changed  the layout a wee bite  from  the one I cased  from Susie Wood which I got her  swap at Founders  and I really love this  Santa face  from the  new stamp set called Jolly Old Saint Nick  # 121321  from the Holiday mini HERE  .

  Here is  the one I  cased from Susie... Notice the changes ?

My card sits upright  and the Candy Cane Christmas DSP # 120809  is layered at the top I added a sweet bow  with  White Taffeta Ribbon # 109070 and  stamped Merry Christmas  from the Christmas Greetings stamp set # 115448.

One thing I love so much about stamping is with just a few simple changes it can make a card  look totally  different .

Have a Terrific Tuesday  friends .

 Thanks so much for peeking in today .

Until later.. Happy Stampin! 

Founders Circle 2010 ...

Hi Stampers :

I thought I would share just a few photos  from Founders Circle  2010 with you .. I have over 400 photos  to go through  and I  uploaded some  of them HERE  and hopefully will  have even more photos in my Founder Circle 2010 gallery  by this weekend for you  to look at   ..

 All my photo galleries are on the left hand side of my blog  under  the button titled DAWNS  GALLERIES

The 1st photo is me getting  caught  getting a gooey roll  from the gathering place  Oh my  so yummy  we had  carmel apples one night ,  donuts, chocolate everywhere   But  the  gooey roll was screaming my name :)

The 2nd photo is  what was  greeting me  as I entered my  room   such an awesome  touch since Founder Circle was all in the 50's theme  and the record was a fabulous ( no pun intended)  touch ..

The next photo is  my great friends ( Lisa, Tiffany, Me & Diana)  we were all decked out  in our pink and black bowling shirts SU! left  for us as a pillow gift Friday night  for the "Fabulous" event  SU! was taking us  to Saturday afternoon.

  We  all thought we were going bowling  which  we kinda did But not the  bowling we thought . The event was for Wii Bowling  OMG !!  check out the  photo  with all those  Wii  screens Holy Moly  what a Blast ..There was even more on the other side  I just couldnt capture all of them in just 1 photos .

Founders Circle was  AMAZING . Thank you Stampin'Up!  for treating us like queens.  It is  something I will treasure forever .

Peek in on my Sunday Share  this upcoming Sunday  you  are  going to laugh  at what I got  from a dear friend .. Yes  can you  say Pickles ... But not  what  you  are  thinking LOL  stay  tuned  you're gonna laugh ..( I promise )

I have this weeks video ready  for tomorrow  we will be making a cute Halloween card ~   See you then :)
