Big Top Birthday with A*muse Studio!

a|s is still celebrating it's one year anniversary - and they are giving away FREE Polkadot Notecards with purchases over $25!  You can order online anytime from my online webstore!  (free notecard offer ends March 31 2012)     I used the Bermuda notecard to make an inverted window card - where I punched out the oval in the card and then Layered the panel to the inside of the card with pop dots.

The Under the Big top stamp set is also still on sale - as one of our Spotlight Specials!

I colored the Ring Leader in with regular Tombow markers on this card - very simple but with a punch of color.  I love how he fits perfectly with the words inside the oval.  I cut the oval with my Nestabilities ovals.

Before I layered my inside panel I tied a piece of Cherry Bakers Twine around the bottom edge of the card.  Doing it before adding the layer allows you to "trap" the twine - so it will not fall off  your card - and it is not visible on the inside!  Cool trick - thanks Sherry for the idea!

I am off and running this week - including a trip to MN to see one of my BFF's Annette!  I know alot of people wish they could ride along - and I have room!  :-) 

 I also have my 6 month check up today with my Oncology Dr. - and am excited to get the all clear!  I had my CT scan last week - so this is the first official look since i finished treatments.   I am just dumbfounded that it has beenalmost  6 months already!  I am so thankful and blessed to be able to put that chapter behind me - but to have grown and learned so much in such a tough few months!  Thankful for all the prayers and kind thoughts.  Thankful for God's grace to get me through it all.  So thankful...

More Sunny Side from A*muse Studio - Kraft and Eucalyptus

I have always LOVED Kraft cardstock.  And I especially love it when you stamp on it with Eucalyptus!  I made two cards with one stamping of the Sunny Side of Life flower sillouette cut in half - so you can really get some mileage out of this stamp!  In any color it loks beautiful!

This one I accented with a few Vanilla Pearls and I embossed the piece of Eucalyptus cardstock with the Dots embossing plate.  I stamped my greeting from Essential Sentiments with the Eucalyptus ink.

This one I tied a piece of Vanilla Twine around the stamped piece and I stamped the greeting on top with Navy Ink.  I also stamped the Mesh Background Stamp onto the Eucalyptus with Versamark and I embossed it with Clear powder.  I love the texture and depth it adds to the card!

Washi Tape Christmas

Did you know the Christmas Washi Tape is on sale???  :-)  $11.16 for three rolls of bliss!  It is on the Top 10 Holiday Must Haves - which ends on the 15th at midnight so get your orders in to stock up of stuff some stockings!

Here is a cute card I made with it for last months class...

I cut the tree out with my Tree die - LOVE all the christmas dies in the holiday supplement!  I used Fern cardstock and I embossed the music background with silver on top.  On the front of a Sugar card I just slapped down three strips of Washi Tape and then layered my tree on top with pop dots.  Then I added my sentiment and blinged it up a bit with some red twinkle stars. 

The green in the holiday Washi Tape matches the Wasabi paper ink and ribbon excellently!

Super simple card - I think it might be one of my designs this year - although I have not started yet so I might still find something elese!  Embossing and cutting a ton of trees might be a pain after like 10.  LOL!

Well Laney has her first Bball tourney for the year tomorrow - so bleacher butt is in my near future!  I can't wait to see her play again - she just LOVES basketball.  Hopefully we can enjoy the rest of the day with some family time!  Maybe even get some Christmas decorationg or cookie making done or started anyway!  Hope you have a blessed weekend!!!

I can't decide if I like yesterdays better or today's - what do you think?  For this one I just stamped collage style - the tree with Fern ink, the music Bac kground with French Roast, and the greeting with Cherry.  Then I inked the edge with a sponge dauber.  I stamped the strip on the Fern piece with French Roast also.  I took a strip of French Rpast cardstock and embossed it with the snowflake impression plate then sanded it slightly to bring out the embossing.  After I stuck all those together I tied a piece of Cherry Bakers twine around and layered it to a Cherry Card.

As always - you can order any of those items from my online shopping site with a*muse studio.  While you are there be sure to check out the Top 10 Holiday Must Haves Special!  That Cherry Bakers twine is on special as well as the ink pads are included in the holiday collection!

I have Stamping Night Out Tonight so I am in my studio tweaking my projects that I had ready last week!  I had to postpone the class because of early departure for Vegas - so I have had time to second guess and think more on the projects and wonder if they are good enough.  Why do we all do that??  You may not do it for a class - but I think we all wonder and stress on wether the things we create are good enough.  It is some kind of negative inner voice that we all need to quiet! 

Well I am off to get my raffle prizes ready now!  More inspiration for you tomorrow I hope!

I stamped the Music Background onto a strip of Fern Cardstock with French Roast ink - then edged it slightly with direct to paper technique.  I cut a strip of Candy Cane background paper - and layered it onto the strip as well.  Then I tied a piece of Cherry Ribbon into a knot and wrapped it around the strip.  Then I tucked my colored image under the ribbon and stuck it down too.  Next the strip was layered onto the card and the greeting was stamped with French Roast below it.

So I am home again and ready to seriously get back on track...seriously!!!  We had SO much fun in Vegas - along with one of my BFF's Julie and her hubby.  I think I walked about 100 miles atleast.  We ate like kings and had the best time wandering around see all there is to see.
