Today's card is a monochromatic of black and white, with just a pop of pink. Berry Burst to be exact! When you don't have a lot of time for coloring, just a splash of color quickly add just a touch of color, without taking a lot of time. Or in my case, without me having to go find my glasses!
Isn't she adorable? Comfy, relaxed, and ready to claim this special day. Even though she's from the Christmas in the Making Stamp Set (available in just 2 days!), she's certainly more than a just for Christmas kind of girl! This card seriously took me less than 10 minutes to put together, even with the little 'oops' I had with a stamp that faded on me. (Let's just say my original had two less layers than this one did!) It's just perfect for a last minute birthday, or special day kind of card! Today's Tutorial

Do you ever wake up on Monday mornings, look at the clock and think, "What a weekend!" That was me this morning! Friday night, I put the last minute touches my Christmas Card Club class, and made the Watercolor Christmas kit to have on hand. Saturday was the first in my series of 5 months of Christmas Card Club. Such fun! It's so popular, I'm holding 2 sessions; one at 10 am and one at 2. We had non-stop Christmas Card club all day long. Saturday night, I sat and finished my tutorial for that and went to bed early. - around 11 pm!
Sunday, I went over to my friend Sarah's house. She was having her first card ministry class at her church in the afternoon so I went to lend a hand. After making sure she had everything she needed, we jumped in her pool before heading off the the church. What a fun bunch of ladies it was, too. There were about 12 ladies and they each made four cards, 2 each of 2 designs. The could keep one and give one to the church's card ministry. Most ladies decided to donate both. I think everyone had a great time and they're all looking forward to doing it again towards the holidays. And getting together at Sarah's and making the Watercolor Christmas kit, too!
We celebrated by going out to dinner and then headed back to her place to unwind in the hot tub. I got home about 11 pm . Morning just came too early this morning. Thank goodness for coffee...and the Monday morning reliability of noisy waste management trucks who arrive on the dot at 7 am! It's going to take more than one cup this morning! Today's Tutorial

Never...let me repeat...NEVER, EVER, EVER emboss with the ceiling fan and air conditioning on! Or else, you'll end up with something that just makes you want to cry. Let me illustrate.
After spending several hours working with the Christmas Quilt Bundle(available September 1)last night, I decided to get fancy and hand piece a card in some rich, royal colors. Actually, they're theStampin' Up!'s Brights Collection of Real Red, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. First, I cut the quilt outline out of the Basic Black. Then, cut the star and "quilted" the Real Red star and used a separate die to cut all the pieces out. Then, I cut all the pieces out of a Rich Razzleberry star. Then, each of those little pieces has to be glued down separately into the quilt outline. I added a Black Rhinestone (also available September 1).
I loved it! I thought it was beautiful. I thought...hmmmm...it needs something else. Something simple, something elegant...I know, I'll heat emboss the word "peace" in gold. Simple, elegant, sophisticated. I stamp my sentiment in Versamark, find my gold embossing powder, and just as I go to sprinkle it on...you guessed it, the a/c came on and blew embossing powder everywhere. Are you with me? Do you feel my pain? Ruined. The card I'd worked so hard on was ruined! I went ahead and embossed it so I could share with you my very valuable embossing tip. Don't be like me. Suffer through the stillness and the heat for just a few minutes if you're going to heat emboss in the summer time. You'll thank me for it later.
