Seaside Shore, Picture Perfect, and Awesomely Artistic by Dorriea Murphy

Dorriea made 25, count 'em, 25 of these beautiful cards to take to Atlanta, Georgia as part of the World Card Making Day card swaps.  She used some fantastic SU products and I thought I would share the details. 
Recipe:

• The base is a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" piece of Bermuda Bay scored at 4 1/4".
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4" piece of Pool Party.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4" piece of Whisper White.
• The white piece was sponged with Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake ink.  The starfish, sea shells and "sea" was heat embossed with white embossing powder. The words were embossed with gold embossing powder
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right? 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Dorriea holds classes in her home in Hillsborough, NC.  If you live near Dorriea, and would like to attend any of her classes, please email her at: murffamily@aol.com.  All the cards and projects she offers are just as beautiful as the one above.

In returning and rest you shall be saved; quietness and trust shall be your strength.  Isiah 30:15

Hostess Club Project for October 2016

 

I offered this cute little pop-up card to every one of my wonderful hostess club ladies at our October, 2016 meeting.  So darling, fun to make, and surprisingly easy.
Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Crumb Cake, scored at 4 1/4.  I made a background on the front by using Crumb Cake ink and the dotted stamp from Merriest Wishes.
• Next I glued a 5 1/2 x 2 7/8 piece of Real Red to the Crumb Cake front.
• Next is a 5 3/8 x 2 3/4 piece of Candy Cane Lane DSP.
• I stamped a 4 x 2 1/2 piece of Vellum card stock with a stamp from Wonderful Year with Early Espresso ink. Adhere the vellum with four glue dots, one in each corner.  The Red Foil hearts are punched from the Owl Builder punch. (I used glue dots to adhere the hearts to the vellum).
• The inside is an 8 1/4 x 5 1/4 piece of Candy Cane Lane DSP, scored in half.  The piece in the middle is cut 3 1/4 x 1 to make the stand-up for the houses. The houses are also from the Candy Cane Lane DSP.
• I stamped two gingerbread men with Early Espresso ink on Whisper White card stock, and punched them with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  I glued them to the top of the card with snail.  I punched two Red Foil bows with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch, one for my little girl, and one for my boy.
• The Whisper White piece at the bottom is 4 1/8 x 2 1/8.  I stamped a Crumb Cake background with the same stamp from Merriest Wishes, and the words, candy cane and peppermint are stamped with Real Red ink.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

Santa's Sleigh and Swirly Scribbles

I combined the Santa's Sleigh and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies to make this beautiful Christmas card.  
I also sponged a piece of Fancy Frost Speciality DSP with Marina Mist ink for the background.  
I am offering this card at all of my November 8, November 10, and November 12, 2016 classes.  I hope your schedule will permit you to attend, that is, if you live near me in Graham, NC.
Recipe:

• The base is a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Real Red, scored at 4 1/4.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Night of Navy.
• The 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Fancy Frost Specialty paper is sponged with Marina Mist ink.
• The tree and the swirly scribbles ground was cut out with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.  I glued the swirly scribbles ground to a piece of Whisper White card stock.
• The sleigh was cut out with Red Glimmer Paper, and the sleigh "rails" were cut out with Silver Glimmer Paper.
• I stamped two presents from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set with Versamark on Whisper White paper, and heat embossed them with Silver embossing powder.  I cut them out with my paper snips.
• The words are stamped with Real Red ink on a 3 x 1 3/8 piece of Whisper White, and the base for the words is a 3 1/8 x 1 1/2 piece of Real Red card stock.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

World Card Making Day Card Swap Box

I am going to Atlanta, Georgia this weekend with four of my wonderful friends/downline/and very talented stampers, to attend Brian King's World Card Making Day event.  
One of the "funnest" parts of the day is exchanging cards with each other, otherwise known as Card Swaps. I will give each one of my 50 cards to 50 different stampers, and in return I will bring home 50 cards from 50 others.  So much fun, I can't stand it.
To carry our card swaps, I decorated store-bought boxes for each of us (the photo boxes by Reflections came from Michael's), so not only are they very useful, they are pretty, as well.
