Unfrogettable Diorama Card



Just a simple take on a three-layer diorama card based on Dianne Gibbs' tutorial. This is perfect for a workshop featuring markers. It takes about 15 minutes to cut, stamp, color and assemble. See the tutorial HERE.

Sterling Silver Montees Bracelet



OK, you ALL know I love sparkly things. Bookmarks to jewelery to clothes to EVERYTHING. This bracelet was created using SW montees and crystal pearls, sterling silver 24 and 26 gauge wire and 46 tiny little wire wrapped jonquil crystal dangles. My thumb has about 45 piercings from bending the little wires around. The colors are an olive green, and mauve pearls, peridot and pink montees, and jonquil (yellow) dangles. Anyway, tell me what you think : o)

Copper Bracelet


I made this for Michelle Arya's Xmas present and I LOVE it. It is a copper bracelet effused with stones (jasper, torquoise, quartz, amethyst, jade to name a few), Swarovski crystals, and copper findings. It is truly stunning in person. I am so very sorry you dont have one, but I can hook you up if you ask nicely. $65

Time Well Spent - White


This tone on tone card was made using only white papers and vellum, with accents of gold embossing. Although you can't see it, the card base is shimmery white, and the layering pieces are textured card stock. The embossing is on vellum, with a gold leafing pen for the trim on the other vellum piece. The ribbon is white taffeta-all supplies from SU!

JOY Matchbook Giftcard Holder


This matchbook fold giftcard holder is one of my absolute favorite "mistakes." I was trying for something totally different and didn't read the instructions all the way. Have you ever done that? Usually I end with something I give to Emily to play with, but this time it turned out GREAT! There is a used dryer sheet covering the stamped image providing a "snow" appearance. Then i sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds Glitter all over it. Very glitzy, very pretty, trust me. It is folded like a giant matchbook and the inserts can be as many or as few as you like. I have three in this one, one with the sentiment (shown below), one with a pic of the recipient and myself last Christmas, and one with a gift card attached to it with the half-round punch from StampinUP!

Christmas Swap Card


This slighly out of focus card is for a Christmas swap I am doing with some Ladies from SCS. It is a slight variation on the one I did for my Father-in-law. It is so very easy!! Try it.
