Glad you all liked my WHACKED EMBOSSING FOLDER IDEA. If you missed it in yesterday's post, I used my RUBBER SCISSORS to Whack it Judging by all the comments, I think there will be a run on embossing folders this week, LOL, good for you guys, have fun with it.
Ok, here is the card that caused all this. This was the image I was trying to create. I'm so happy that I dream in color!
The new stamp sets, the ribbon, the punch all got packed into a box the day they arrived (because we were moving).
this is one of the designs I have been creating while painting my house for the past 2 weeks.
I'm so happy it is finally out of my little brain, hope you are too.
SO I used my new Stampin Up Skinny embossing Folder (see yesterday's post if you are jumping in late). I embossed the top of this card, then the bottom.
This card is also going to be in one of my christmas card classes, so stay tuned.
Speaking of classes, got a few e-mails about that. I hope to have my 3 month list completed and posted by the end of this weekend. I'm also working on a new tutorial at the moment using the Autumn Splendor Stamp set and the Autumn Meadows designer series paper, man oh man, that is nice paper. Anyway, box set, a little masculine tone to it, so cards for guys – hey we all need those. The christmas card tutorials will be right after. Thanks for your patience as we get back into full gear around here.
Happy Friday, have a wonderful weekend and hope you get some ink on those fingers, you know I will.
Hugs to all

Love this card too! TFS! BTW, I need to add that one of your commentators for the previous post said she pictured you and Jan Tink and her “YILM” together in a room — that’s what I was thinking too! I didn’t think it quite fast enough to add it but you both have the wonderful, craft-twisted brain that makes you so creative!!
Sandi,
A very beautiful card. I had never noticed that stamp set in the catty. You are the best enabler I know.

Sandi,
How could I have not seen that set. Never even gave it a second look, I’m talking abut the Holly. (Leaf Lines) didn’t see it the way you do. You have a creative gift. Love all you share, thanks so much.
