Christmas Cards by Melissa and Alarm Clock by Angela

Today we have to great projects! First up is Melissa.

Hi everyone! Melissa here with two Christmas cards for Gina's Chipboard Laser Designs. I made these for the Christmas card swap with the other Design Team members.  These are two of the five cards that that I'll be swapping.

I first prepped the chipboard with gesso. The snowflakes at the upper right hand corners on both cards were coated with Crackle Accent, followed by a layer of silver ink. The snowflake at the bottom of the card on the right, has diamond Stickles on it. I also put the same stickles on the wing on the card at the left,and on the cut up snowflake on the same card.

Next up is Angela with her alarm clock!

Hi, Angela here, I am very privileged to have been asked to do a couple of guest DT spots for Chocolate Baroque. I have a wonderful stamp set to work with and for my first project I have used a chipboard Alarm Clock from Gina's designs and the Autumn Poppy stamp sheet below.

I painted the clock with blue Cosmic Shimmer matte chalk paint then again with their crackle medium and finally used the pink matte chalk paint. I stamped and embossed the poppies onto the back of the clock and then used mica powders to paint the poppies and butterfly. I then assembled

the clock and added the flowers and butterfly.

Please do check out the blog over at Chocolate Baroque for more fabulous ideas using this stamp set.

Freebie Friday Fold Up Leaf

Happy Fall everyone!  The leaves are just beginning to turn here in Missouri and it seemed a good time to make some Fall decor items.  Today we have two printable sheets of fold up leaves.  Once cut, folded and inked up a bit, they make a great addition to any Fall project.

Here is a look at the banner Angela made using the leaves.

Freebie Friday - Butterfly Tag

In honor of Spring (if you are having one, I'm still getting a bit of Winter here in Missouri) we have a butterfly Tag printable for you today.  Mix and match the butterflies, add a punched piece, however it feels good to you.  This printable includes extra paper pieces so you can make it your own.

Here is a tag by Angela.  For more information on how she made the background and the punches she used, check out her blog post.
