Paper Flower Corsage

Hey!  Erin here for design team Tuesday.  Ive been a MIA that last few weeks, ugh and sorry.  It's nothing major, just life getting in the way of crafting/blogging again.   I have a quick post for you today.  I used a Spellbinders perfect petals die set and some purple cardstock, some Stickles, glue dots, elastic, lavendar organza ribbon, and lime green tulle, wire spirals, pearl embellishments and flower shaped "crystal" embellishment.  I made this for my son's date to Homecoming, and am happy to say that she appreciated it and thought it was "cool" :)  Thanks for stopping by.

I have 2 pictures, one taken with a flash, so you can see the stickles and one without the flash that shows more true colors.

Not too soon to think about your Christmas Cards.

Hi Everyone! Well, I was asked by Susie to be part of the design team. I was elated to be asked and said yes. So here I am with my post for the week. I had another project in mind and I did not have all the items I needed so I decided to do a different take on a Christmas card.

I saw this new stamp by Impression Obsession at Scrap Happy and it screamed my name! I thought it would be a verstile stamp for birthdays, holidays, or a sympathy card, but I decided on a Christmas card. I colored the image with my copics, used vintage christmas Flower Soft, sparkly fluff, basic grey buttons w/ floss, green cardstock using the Spellbinder die eyelet circles and embossed it with a sizzix embossing folder and used the New Authentique collection paper called Wonder. I love this new company's paper.

Don't forget to check the calender for all the new classes coming up! I am also the copic instructor so check out my classes too!  Don't forget to come back and follow the blog for the other design team project! My next project is a little home decor for Halloween! One of my favorite holidays, I might add!  That all for now.
