Witches Brew…

1.  The Final Fixer Upper Class payment is due today.  Come learn how  to spackle, I mean, use embossing paste to create a textured, 3D effect on your cards and projects.  This was a big hit last Saturday, where 12 ladies came and embossed cards on what had to be the most humid day this summer!  Don’t miss your opportunity to get ‘down and dirty’ with the embossing paste Fixer Upper Class! (Wednesday, August 30th at 6:30). Email me today to reserve your spot!
2. Final payment is also due today for the August Christmas Card Club.  This is the first in 5 monthly 12-card Christmas Card Classes and will feature the Carols of Christmas bundle.   Attend all 5 months and you’ll have 60 cards  + a special free gift from me.  This class is also available “To Go” by mail.  (Saturday August 26 with 2 times to choose from:  10 am or 2 pm).  Learn more or email me to reserve your spot for August.  ​​​
3. The Clearance Rack has been updated!  Save up to 60% off  ​tons of fabulous items including punches.  (Don’t forget August’s host code is: H9HXSFAX)

Base:  Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
Layer 1:  Pumpkin Pie, 5 1/4″ x 4
Layer 2: Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
Layer 3:  Pumpkin Pie,  5 1/2″ x 2 1/4.
Layer 4:  Black Scalloped Oval
Layer 5;  Pumpkin Pie Oval
Layer 6:  Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, cut with Coffee Cup framelit
Layer 7 & 8: Very Vanilla scraps for whipped cream and coffee cup cozy

1. Stamp whipped cream image  in Crumb Cake and sentiment in Basic Black Archival ink onto Very Vanilla and cut out with Coffee Cup Framelits.  Then, in the framelits, there’s a piece that looks like a bumpy cupcake liner.  That adds the texture ridges to the cozy.  Fit the cozy inside that and then run it through the big shot again.  It’s really cool!   Sponge a bit of crumb cake around the cozy to add a bit of an antiqued look. Add both to the coffee cup. 
2. Add all layers to base, adding the coffee cup with dimensionals. 
3. Finish with black Vintage Crochet bow attached with glue dots and 3 black rhinestones.
