Finishing Spray

I made this Halloween Card the other day & used amuse|studio stardust finishing spray.  It doesn't show up in the picture, but the finishing spray really gave my card a nice glisten.  I was pleased with the results.  I used stamps & paper from Memory Box & the card idea came from Archiver's.  Click here for the instructions.

calendar fun stamp set - Sale $18.89
fresh foliage stamp set - Sale $17.09
radiant white vellum paper
squash ink, versafine onyx black ink

Cut strips 5/8 inch x 8.5 inch, stamp, wrap around wine glass, adhere with
glue dot, and trim excess.

Tree Tags

I was paging thru my copy of Nov/Dec Paper Crafts Magazine the other night & saw a card that inspired me to make these tags.  Simply Kraft cardstock & black ink with a couple of accents - twine & twinkle!  The Small Holiday Trees are by Hero Arts & are a favorite of mine!  The greetings on each tag are by amuse|studio from the stamp set Cool Yule.  The star twinkles & vanilla twine are also amuse|studio!
