Hi Stampers,

I have a quick post for you today. Hope you like it. The Stamp Set is from the new mini catty which comes out in 5 days (& counting). For further details on products used to make this card, please jump over to my Stampin' Up blog at http://www.sharyncorsi.stampinup.net/ . For any further details please feel free to email me. I would love to here from you.

Hi Folks,

Long time no see, (so to speak anyway). I have been a little busy on my stampin' up blog though which you can few here. I promise to make some regular entries here as well now that I have my computer up and running again. In fact i have been tempted to use this blog again because last night I attend (cyber of course) a blogging tutorial over at crafters Anonymous. I learnt how to make my siggy appear in my blogger spot posts. How cool is that. Thanks Tia for your patience with me last night. I love it.

so to get you all excited again here are a few of my latest creations. Enjoy and I'll be back soon I Promise. Lv

Clearly Dasher

Hi there,

Just another reason to love Dasher, don't you agree. This is such a simple card to make and a little different. Clear acetate is used or the thick window sheet from Stampin Up. You must pre-score your fold and only Staz-on inks will stay on there permanently. Here I have used the cotton white Staz-on with the snow flurries stamp set from last catty, but any snowflake stamp will work. I have embossed a peice of pear pizazz with the petals-a-plenty folder. I have inked dasher in poppy parade and sponged around the edges. For a decorative edge the scallop trim border punch was just perfect. To disguise my adhesive from the inside I cut peices of white cardstock the same measurement as the pear pizazz on the front and stuck them first to the inside top, then with the card closed I stuck down the back piece, then opened it out and stuck on the last inside peice. Remember to keep all your edges as even as possible.

Enjoy Sharyn

Hi there,

Two posts in one day. What the? Just had to share it with you. I luuurrvvvee this little guy Dasher.

CARD RECIPE;

STAMPS; dasher, elements of style

CARDSTOCK;old olive, cherry cobbler, crumb cake, whisper white, jolly holiday designer paper

INKS; crumb cake, early espresso

ACCESSORIES; old olive satin ribbon, paper piecering tool, white pearls, sponge.

After inking up dasher with crumb cake, sponge a little early espresso around the edge to give the two tone effect, and cut him out without antlers, then mount him over another image stamped in early espresso. Flourish is stamped from elements of style as a background onto crumb cake using the same colour ink. Place some pearls over stars in the antlers.

Side Step cards

Hi Peeps,

Just thought I'd post a couple of my latest creations. The Blushing Bride side step card was one from class last weekend. The cherry cobbler is another colour combo that I cased from a friend (thx for the inspiration Michelle) I can't decide which one I like best. I'm a pink person but there is just something bout red and black together.

Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Whisper White colour combo.

Cherry cobbler, Basic Black, Very Vanilla colour combo. Notice how I have used the Beautiful Wings embossing and cutting die for this card. It can be found on page 151 of the main Catalogue. As the name suggests it cuts and embosses at the same time, and can also be used in the cuttlebug as well as the Big Shot.

Tinaroo retreat Card Challenge

This card Challenge took me about 57mins (with 3 mins to spare) I love the way it turned out. We were given the stamp set (Funky Four) and papers to use for it and were able to use another colour. I added early espresso to the mix of pumkin pie and rose red. It's amazing what you can come up with when you're encouraged to think outside the box. My favourite part was the paper piecing of the mushrooms, a little fiddly but worth the effort.

Thx to the generous voting of the others, it came first place. Whoo Hoo! I was overwhelmed.

Thx 4 looking, Sharyn
