Holiday Sparkle card

Hello Creative friends!

Today I wanted to share a card I created for my Wednesday cards group.  I used the Holiday Sparkle Bundle for the focal point.  The Holiday Sparkle set is the same set I used last week for the Holly watercolor card.  This set also has a super cutie patootie Candy Cane that I plan on using for my Christmas Cards this year.  If you  love this set as much as I do, make sure you order it before the end of September, because after that, it is gone.

Don't you just love all the bling in it?  FSJ's Brushed Silver cardstock is to die for!  and don't get me started on our sequin trim... Love it, want it, got to have it! 

Here is a video of how I made it.

I have listed all of the products below so you can recreate this card for your family and friends!
Have an Amazing Day,

Ghostly Treats

Hello Creative Friends.  Today I am sharing a card I created for my Wednesday class.  If you are in the Southern Maryland Area and wish to attend, leave me a comment so I can pm you and get your email!

Don't you just love this little Pumpkin guy from the Ghostly Treats Bundle ?  You  can make him as scary or sweet as you like.  Today, I chose to make him sweet!  I colored him using FSJ Journey Color Burst pencils.  These are the colors I used:  03,13,14,16,21,22,28,35,40,41,43, and48.

I had planned to make my card a telescoping card, but silly me put it together wrong... oops!  So instead I used my Brayer (it's on sale this month)to add some Pumpkin Bread ink to my card base.  After I added the color, I die cut the Spider Web die and glued it in the center of my base.  Can you see the sparkle?!!!  You know I have to add Journey glaze and Sparkle Dust to everything!

Thanks for stopping by, and have an Amazing Day,
~Cindy~

Candy Monster

  Hello Creative Friends!  I am back from a long summer of working on our house and taking our youngest, Austin, to college.  Austin  is now a proud member of the Texas A&M Corp of Cadets.  Here he is with his roommate enjoying a much need evening away from his upperclass men.  Austin is on the right.

Now, that I have shared the proud mamma picture, I will take you onto the good stuff...  A Halloween card!

This cute little guy is from the fun Holiday Trends Mini.  You are able to order from this Mini Trends catalog until September 30, then these items are gone.

I stamped the "Candy Monster" BD-0161 in Whip Cream CS and used my "Color Burst" pencils  JM -0077 to color him.  Don't you just live the striped paper- it is from the "Spooky Prints pack" PP-0035 also available in the Holiday Trends mini, make sure you grab it before it's gone!

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!

Cindy

Wondering where I have been?....

Hello Creative Friends.   

I thought I should probably stop in and leave a note for those who have been wondering where I have been.

This summer has been crazy!  First my youngest graduated from high school.  We had family in from out of state and totally enjoyed the visit!

After that I was off to Phoenix for the Fun Stampers Journey "Celebrate You" convention!   Love all of the new stamps and other products I came home with.  I have played with a few things but my craft room has been idle for the past few weeks.

Right now I am currently doing a complete house hold spruce up, fun things like painting the deck and deep cleaning.  Why?  Well it is time to put the house on the market!!!  Whoo Hoo!  I will be moving about an hour from where I am now.  Close enough to to stay in touch with Southern Maryland, but also a new area with new creative opportunity.

I am also finishing up those last minute things to get my youngest off to college.  This week's fun task is wisdom teeth.  I promised him I wouldn't do a video, so unless he gives me some witty banter, I won't have anything fun to share.

When I am able to spend time in my craft room, I will be posting pictures over on my Facebook page, Cindy's Creative Journey.

Have an Amazing Day!
