Inspiration in the 'Mirror'

If you haven't been able to tell, I am a bit obsessed right now with 'shiny' mirror cardstock. I love the look you get using unexpected themes. I was trying to think where I had seen this technique used recently, and then after Julie over at Huxter's House in the UK stopped by (you may remember she was one the recent blog candy winners of those cool high heel shoes), it dawned on me that she has been doing some awesome creative things with mirror card, the 'bug' and a variety of embossing folders.

So I went from cute little Holiday gift tags to an elegant Congratulations card to a Fall-themed all occasion card. It's been fun to see what comes to mind as I start on a new theme.

Of course, I placed these cards in my Etsy store, so hope you will take a quick look.

Hope you had a great Monday! Look forward to visiting with you again tomorrow.

Just to Say Hello

Thought I would share these little tags that I just finished. They're going straight into my Etsy Store. It's that time of year to think ahead for those who are early birds when it comes to holiday preparations. These were really fun to do. I used mirror card and the 'bug' to emboss the dots. It doesn't show as well in my photo, but the reflection makes these really unique. I also used the brand spankin' new Harvest & Holiday Mat Stack designed by Debbie Mumm. These weren't even on the shelf yet when I stopped in at JoAnn Fabrics the other day. I saw the box on a cart with the description and said "I'll have that please". It's full of fun designs for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the ribbon with the miniature snowflakes from American Crafts.

If you are still on the fence about the tag swap, we'd love to have you join us. I have 4 spots left, so click here, make your decision and let me know. Those of you who have signed up, I will be getting in touch with you later in the week. Please send me a private email with your email address. You can reach me at here.

I'll be back a little later, but in the meantime I hope you will pop over to Etsy and see what's new!
