It was embossed on shimmer gree paper.

Brillance ink was rubber over the embossed area and gem stickers were put on.

The green shimmer paper is mounted on red card stock.

The saying and puppy in sock are Crackerbox Palace stamps.

The puppy was stamped on white card stock and cut out.

The puppy was colored but the sock has white and red flock on it to make it fuzzy soft.

Stampscapes Christmas Ornament

The base of the card is a metallic paper.

The border on top is a Cuttlebug border embossing folder.

The snowflake background is also a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I used light tan card stock and sponged brown ink from the outer edge inward.

The background color around the ornament is the same color card stock as the base card.

The church from Stampscapes is stamped on a lighter color than the snowflakes.

The back ground paper behind the saying is the same as the church and edged with brown ink.

The saying is the same color card stock as the snowflakes and cut out with Spellbinder and edged with brown ink.  The saying is stamped with the same brown ink and embossed.

Boogie Nights book

Currie wanted this card to look like a book with ghosts in it.

It would be real easy to add a couple of pages if you would wish.

The hinges she found at Big Lots and used Smooch gold to color the book plate.

Halloween Book

I got this from Currie a while back but I held it back so it was closer to Halloween to show you in hopes you will use the ideas for your own pictures-I just love this book she made !!

Currie cut the chipboard book out using the Sizzix die "Album cover and page".

Then she covered each page in Halloween colors of card stocks.

She found pictures of her girls - Maddy and Allie - and the dogs wearing costumes and cut them out.

Distress inks were used to distress the pictures.

For the front cover she used the 3 ghost stamp and used Shrink Plastic to make it smaller and turn it into a thicker piece of plastic.

All of the stamps used were Crackerbox Palace stamps
