Northern Lights

Hello Friends,
 
It’s another BEAUTIFUL day. The night skies are pretty too.
That leads me to an image I made about the Northern Lights!
 
I started with these two images and wasn’t sure whether to add it to a card or make something else out of it….
 
 
So, I put them in a frame.  It goes well with our winters here in Alberta, Canada.
 
 
I followed a tutorial that I seen online by a lady named Melissa Banbury. She did a great job on her explanation on how to do this.
 
I’m tempted to do a card class on this. Message me if you are interested!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Smiles & Blessings,
Tammy

Texture Boutique Embossing Machine

 
Due to our partnership with Sizzix, we are pleased to be able to offer a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine in our North American markets. We have 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last. If this product test goes well, we may offer the Texture Boutique again in the future.
 
The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. Because this is a product test, the Texture Boutique is not branded with the Stampin' Up! logo. It comes in Sizzix packaging and is the same color and design that is sold in stores. We recommend you read the included instructions before using the Texture Boutique and that you pass the same recommendation on to customers who purchase it.
 

'Tis the season of giving, and the Texture Boutique makes a wonderful gift for anyone who wants to create their own elegant embossed art. To help you with your gift-giving needs, we're offering a special value bundle that saves you $10.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone. Looking for stocking stuffers? Pick up some additional embossing folders.

Vintage - Clint Eastwood Inspiration & Kids Christmas Treat Bags

Hello Friends,
 
My kids' classes have themes. Grade 4 is popcorn and Grade 5s are Owls....
Here is what I made for my kids to hand out to their class mates as a Christmas Gift Card....

Yes, I had to make a lot....But that's what we do right :-)
 
I was needing a break as I was in my craft room most of the day (resting my back was in order)
 
SO...
Ok, don't laugh...
 
I started to watch a Clint Eastwood movie with my husband and of course it was an old western...lol...
 
I noticed the vintage wallpaper and the color of one of the rooms....talk about inspiration...lol...ran to my craft room again and this is what I came up with...
I guess that's why I don't watch TV much...lol...
 
Thanks for stopping by!
 
Smiles & Blessings!

Custom Ordered VINTAGE Birthday Card

Hello Friends,
 
Happy Friday!! 
 
Today I would like to share with you one of the custom ordered cards I made.  I was asked to make a vintage looking card with 3D effect.
 
What do you think? Don’t the flowers just POP out?
 
 
My client, who ordered this, absolutely loved it. She said it was exactly what she was looking for and knows that her friend will cherish it.  I love making a difference, one card at a time J
 
Please feel free to leave your comments and to follow my blog!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
Don’t forget to pass it on that I do custom card making!
 
Smiles & Blessings,
Tammy
