Karli used For the Birds for this week’s piece!

<<<Here’s my card for this week. Hope you like it This is the most beautiful birdhouse stamp- just love it! I wanted a vintage look so I used Graphic 45 papers. I printed the stamp twice, colored & cut out the flowers & adhered them with dimensionals to pop them up. Then I added crystal lacquer to give them a dewy look.
If you have any questions, please leave me a comment :)>>>

Here’s a little more fun for ya! Michelle also created this piece with the birdhouse, and altho she’s  posted it on her blog already, I thought it’d be fun to share 2 looks with the same image. Beautiful  huh?? I LOVE that this is the same image, and these ladies achieved such different looks for their cards!! WOWZA!

Yep, you read it right! Time to get started on those Christmas and Holiday cards!! Only 170 Days left til the big day!!

To get you going in the right direction, ALL of the Wacky Wednesday sets will be Christmas sets!!! AND there are select Christmas/Winter sets on sale ALL MONTH LONG on the sale page!!! (I’ll try to mix up the sale sets each week, add in  some new ones, remove some others. )Doesn’t that sound like fun?? woo hoooooo!!

Today’s featured set is: Christmas Ornaments 2 -4×5093

It will be marked at 50% off on my website  from midnight (ish)  Tuesday to midnight (ish) Wednesday!!

Here’s my card…

I had this idea to stamp the deer ornament in dark blue (Ranger Denim) and emboss it half in silver and half in gold. That worked out great! Then I was thinking how cool a red/green plaid color would look behind it. (I chose a glossy paper so the brayering would be smooth). It kinda came out like I intended…kinda…LOVE the white glow I got around the ornaments. (I masked them to brayer).

I’m not sure how I feel about the combined ideas I had…I have to say I think I got a little carried away with the green branches….lol……dd thinks it POPS…I think maybe it’s a hot mess….lol…what do you dear readers think???

Here’s a close up of the deer ornament, I really like the way the silver and gold turned out..

Here’s the link to the gallery if you need more inspiration!

P.S. If you are reading this thru email updates, and you don’t get the email in time, just email me at admin (@) firecrackerdesignsbypamela (.) com and I’ll be happy to send you an invoice!

Ohhhh, this month we have the oh so talented Stef Hughes, aka Glitterbabe as our guest rubbah artist!

She decided to surprise us all and use digital images for her share today…lol

a little about her:

Hi.  My name is Stef H.  you may have seen me in blogland where I am known as glitterbabe - sometimes, the lampshade lady!  Don’t matter.  I

answer to both - lol.  i have been a crafter going on 10 years now and am still trying to figure out where the time has gone.  I was introduced to stamping back in 2001 when I was invited to my very first stampin up party.  And, as they say, the rest is history.  I am a retired legal assistant and married to a wonderful man going on 17 years.  I discovered blogging a little more than a year ago and, like stamping, the rest is history.  I have met the best people from all around the world thru crafting and blogging and many of whom I am proud to call friend.  I have definitely found my niche in life.  Oh, and I just love making people laugh.  I certainly hope I can put a smile on your face
