Tone-On-Tone For My Team

Hi There Friends

Last night I got together with my Team and we had a wonderful meeting - complete with the creation of some gorgeous cards.  After all, that *IS* what we like to do best when we are together!

Silver-On-Silver Version

In addition, my Team members brought some cards as part of a Challenge that I had given them and believe me - they *absolutely* lived up to the Challenge.  But that is tomorrow's post.

For today, I wanted to show you these 2 gorgeous cards we made.  Well, rather, these were my sample cards and my Team all made the silver version for themselves.  I heavily borrowed from a card I saw on the Hearts' Delight website from almost 2 years ago - we just changed up a few things to make it current.  But believe me, I am a big fan of this tone-on-tone metallic look.  Brushed Gold and Brushed Silver are 2 of the most beautiful cardstocks we sell if you ask me.

Gold-On-Gold Version

And there isn't much you can do to ruin any card made using Lovely As a Tree.  STILL one of my most favourite stamp sets of all time.




 

I will leave you with the pictures of these two beauties, but I'll remind you to check back tomorrow when I'll post the pictures of cards my Team Members made when I Challenged them.  Believe me when I say you really need to come back tomorrow to check them out!

Until then, I hope everyone's week is spectacular,    
God Bless,

Stars With Depth

Hi There Friends

An awful lot of you took the opportunity this week to double-dip and capitalize on both Stampin' Up!'s deal on inks and paper and envelopes, and my Birthday Celebration offer of FREE Shipping.  My offer stands for one final day (since my birthday week only ends at midnight tonight, Oct 7) but the Stampin' Up! deal is off the table - sure hope you got all the goodies you wanted before the deals disappeared!

Of course, if what you want is one of the 25% off items on sale this week, then you are in luck because if you let me know TODAY, you will still qualify for FREE shipping on your order!  And did you know this silver glimmer paper happens to be one of the Weekly Deals this week!?    Woo hoo.  I am ordering mine today!

Ok then - back to the reason you come to my site - cards, cards and more cards.  At our Team Meeting a week ago I showed my friends how to create this simple but classy Star card - and from the reactions of my Team, I'd say the card was both a hit - and uncomplicated enough that it remained "fun" to create!  And one of the wonderful features of this card is that the leftover silver pieces you generate can be used to replicate this pattern on a second star base.

This card is so easy but oh-so classy.  Some punched-out stars along the top edge, heat embossing of silver powder at the bottom, five carefully placed silver glimmer paper stars to draw your attention to other areas.....all quickly assembled add up to a pretty impressive little beauty.

And you know - Christmas isn't *that* far away!....

Hope everyone has a beautiful day to look forward to!  God Bless you all.     ~Cynthia     <><
