Delightful Decorations Christmas Notecard Set

I don't have another craft bazaar on the horizon yet, but I'm hoping for one!  I'm also considering opening an Etsy store.  In preparation for either of those events I made an adorable card set.  My inspiration for the design came from the blog Inking Idaho. Her card carrier design was so cute I had to make one too, and put my own spin on it.

The Entire Set - 4 cards, 4 coordinating envelopes, 1 adorable carrier - $15

A Special Note of Thanks

My cousin sent me a beautiful birthday gift and I wanted to do something special to say thanks so I made a card especially for her.  Her favorite color is pink and she loves pretty things.  I decided to pull out my heat tool and try out the Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  I hope she likes the card!

October Workshop Cards

I had my first workshop of the month on the 1st!  It was a awesome way to kick off the month.  The workshop had a great turnout and I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time. Here are a couple of the projects that I demonstrated:

More Fall Projects

As I was preparing for my "Ready for Fall" class I tried a number of different designs.  Some were flops, which I won't bother showing here, and others were good but got left out because of another, better option.  Here are a couple of ones I liked, but weren't used at the class.  The inspiration for the card came from a card I saw on Splitcoast Stampers.

Stamps: Falling Leaves

I also made a Hershey's stack to coordinate with this card.
