I'm now on Etsy :)

Hi everybody :)




Wow....i've been so busy and I was shocked to see my last post was in October...that's just awful lol.
I have started a page on Etsy where I have my cards available for sale.
Here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CassieN?ref=pr_shop
I also have been doing some custom orders. That, combined with kids being sick and all the wonderful other things that come along with this time of year...time is flying by :)
Here are a few of my latest creations. As always i'd love to hear your feedback.

I so rarely seem to get the chance to scrapbook. I was thrilled with how this page turned out. In person it's very sparkly. The snow flakes along the border strip are embossed with irrdescent powders and highlighted with stickles. ( gotta love glitter in any shape or form.) Maybe that's why i enjoy winter LO's. I can use glitter with pics of my boys and it doesn't seem wierd :)  The punched snowflakes are a combination of punches and dies i've collected along the way.  I think the larger is Martha stewart and the smaller are all cuttlebug dies.  My favorite part on the whole LO is the snow on the title.  I was sooooo happy how it came out :)  I seen someone else do it...can't remember who so I won't take credit for the idea...but i used my liquid pearls and gooped it on there and voila...looks just like snow.

I was really happy with this card. I did a custom version of it for a friend using dark purple. I looked so elegant. For some reason I can't seem to get it to load on to this page so here's a link if you're curious :)

http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/187183/view/3087451/-1/1.html It's a link to SB.com with my gallery as well.  The patterned paper is Basic Grey from the Capella collection.  A beautiful collection a papers btw.  I made the little rosettes by hand and cut the foil with my cuttlebug corner die.  The foil was a gift from my MIL.  I'm liking and using it much more than i thought i would originally.

A friend of mine also had a baby girl this month. This card was a lot of fun to make. I have a wierd thing for buttons. Just seems to go with babies :)  The patterned paper is from the Que sera collection (love) and the stork is a digital stamp which i just colored in with my blender pen.

And last but not least I don't think you can ever really have too many thank you cards. So here's one I made just using scraps from my stash.  I used my cuttlebug Olivia die to cut the "thanks" and my spellbinders die for the label.

We're expecting a big storm here tonight so it's prime opportunity to get some more stuff done :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week and thanks for visiting.

Hugs,

Cass.

Anniversaries galore!!!

Wow...October is a busy month for anniversaries. Do people know there's 11 other months to choose from? lol I had roughly 10 anni. cards to make this month, and all anniversary. That's not including all the other ones i have to get done lol. I'll post two for now. These ones posted today are ones I made multiples of. They're going to different provinces, countries...soo....the people will never know ;)

Both cards are easel cards made using the medallion stamp from SU!. I embossed with fine white embossing powder and then used my distress inks. ( I'm a sucker for resist ) Flowers are homemade.

Any questions feel free to ask :)

Have a great day!

New Cards.

Just thought I'd post a quick update of a few of the the cards I've finished so far this week :)

My attempt at a masculine anniversary card.  I find man cards so hard to do.  Any pointers?  Please share!

This one is for a friends little girl.  It's made using the paper doll cartridge.  The girl is magnetic so her dresses attach easily.  She has undies too...child friendly :)

And my final card.  I used an acrylic resist technique that i learned from Jennifer mcguire last week.  Looks quite pretty in person.  The paint has a pearlescent shimmer :)

Thanks for checking out the latest.  Hope you all have a great week.

Her favorite spot to sleep?
In with my scrap supplies :)

Thanks for checkin' in :) Hope everyone has an amazing week :)

Another Pdcc :)

Here is my entry for the PDCC42 this week. The image is from martha stewart and i broke out my nesties :)

Here's some other cards I made today.

I made this as an anniversary card for friends.

I embossed the backgrounds with stamps from outlines...then used my blender tool and distress inks. Then I mixed some perfect pearls with water and brushed it onto my BG. Looks good in person...well i think so anyway :) Sorry for the lighting folks...little gloomy here today :(

Have a great week :)

Stay crafty!

New cards :)

Here are my two entries for this weeks color challenge at the play date cafe :)
PDCC41
I really thought I'd have problems with these colors for some reason. I don't use them very often....but when i got started...i loved it. They were so much fun. I guess that's why we do the challenges...to get us out of our comfort zone :)
Thanks for checking them out :)





Both cards were made using cardstock from my stash. I used summer sun ink and riding hood red ink from SU! and the peddaling past set. The little charms and doo-dads were just jingling around in my drawer at the moment.
Hope everyone has a crafty week!
