Yahhh Friday, it has been a long loonngg week for me. I have been so busy at work that when I come home my brain is like mush. I failed miserable at being creative, but I did manage to mail 1 Christmas card. I know what I am doing this weekend:)

Dec 10, wow, next week begins the slow down slope to Chrismas for me, we have been to a Christmas party or two but I have 4 or 5 different lunches with work. It breaks up the day so nicely.

This is the final Dreamweaver Bare Branches stencil card from the class. I have altered one of the four cards from this class to use as one of my Christmas cards, I will post that in a day or so.

Supplies: Cream and brown cardstock, Dreamweaver Embossing paste, Heritage Farms Merry Christmas, Dreamweaver stencil-Bare Trees, Krylon-18kt Gold Leafing Pen, Sheer Shimmer Spritz - Gold.Cheers,

Quick second card post, still 1 behind on my sisters challenge darn it :).

This card is number two from the class.

This card was too funny to get set up, the instuctor wanted us to use a Spellbinders die cut to create the inside frame, however they were using a Cuttlebug machine but could not figure out the plate sandwich to make it all work. In the end it was close your eyes and hope for the best.

I took a class at one of the local Scrapbook Stores a few weeks ago, I think the cards we made are pretty stunning. The Technique is using Embossing Paste and Stencils. I have seen cards done similar to this before but I was pretty happy to find out how it was done.


Some steps had already been done for us such as cardstock cut and spritzed. The brown cardstock was spritzed with gold sheer Shimmer Spritz and this was the first time I have used a gold Leafing pen, I am pretty impressed with the look.

We were recommended to use a Spellbinders Magnetic Spacer under a piece of paper to hold the stencil in place, and it worked like a charm. I used a plastic putty spatula to apply the paste, I then carefully pealed the stencil away and sprinkled warm highlights glitter on it then set it aside to dry. It took about and hr to dry. We were told that all the sentiments stamps were from a retired Heritage Farms set(I would have bought it in a hearbeat).

I did feel a bit rushed, what card class isn't but I would have like to clean up the edges and such before putting it all together. I used this stencil for one of my Christmas cards.


We did a set of 4 cards in the class, and to try to post every day I will share over the next couple of days.
