Wreath on an old door card

I've been totally inspired by Tim Holtz's blog today. So, I made this card with his tag in mind. I don't have his distress crackle paint (it's on my very long wish list) so I used Delta Creamcoat in buttercream on regular cardstock. I brushed it on fully but unevenly and very thick in some spots, then dried it with my heat gun. I used my Making Memories sponge brush to apply Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain all over the painted cardstock. I let it dry then glue dotted leaves punched from my Target Dollar Spot leaf punch in a circle. I added a bow made from ribbon from Big Lots. Lastly, I placed Thickers on the bottom and used crystal Stickles to give them sparkle. I mounted everything onto a white card.

Green Greetings

There's a whole lotta green going on on this card. I used justjohanna lacy border (which I added Stickles to the dots) and justjohanna joy to the world which I stamped in TAC pine tree. The paper is from a Provo Craft Christmas slab that I am enjoying.

Holly Berries Chrismas Card

I've had more fun with origami. This one is a holly leaf. I added red fuzzballs for berries. The scalloped border is justjohanna lacy border in red StaZon ink. The origami directions were in Japanese and I'm pretty proud of myself for figuring them out.

Silent Night

I am loving these origami trees. I paired this one with justjohanna sleeper left and justjohanna snowflake trio. I made the snow by spreading Top Boss embossing ink onto white paper, sprinkling with sparkly white embossing powder and heat embossing. I cut it out and adhered it to the light blue card. I stamped sleeper with TAC Gray Stone ink and colored the beak with Prismacolor pencils and used my black Glaze pen for the eye.

Big News!

Johanna posted the list of the new justjohanna Design Team members. Guess what. I'm on it! Woo Hoo! I'm super excited to be a part of this amazing group of stampers. I'll post some of my newest creations using justjohanna stamps very soon.

I'm Getting Organized!

I just thought you might enjoy a look at my newest attempt to get organized. First, I found this awesome cart at Costco a few weeks ago for $29.99. In the inside, I store upright a couple of the 12 x 12 paper cases that I bought at Michaels. Then, I fill the rest of the space on the inside and all the gazillions of pockets on the outside with tools, embellishments and all kinds of other stuff like ink pads.

Secondly, I was really getting sick of searching through shoeboxes for my mounted stamps. I purchased these 8 1/2 x 11 clear containers from Shabby Cat Creations Ebay store. I bought six but I can tell I'm going to need more very soon. I organized them by theme. I love them because I can see all my stamps and they stack and take up next to no room.
