Rosette Pumpkin

Pumpkin anyone??

Last month I participated in a craft fair and one of the vendors made 3 of these and was selling them.  I HAD TO BUY ONE.  I ask her if she could tell me how she made it.  She gave me enough information that I could figure it out.  I've made 2 of them so far.

You make 10 layers of rosettes with varied sizes to make the pumpkin.

Anyone near the Lancaster area interested in coming to a class??

The class will take approx. 3 to 3-1/2 hours from start to finish.  It's really fun to make. 


Please contact me if you're interested (pginnery@columbus.rr.com)

Leaves of a Tree

Here is another card that I made for a swap last month.  I used one of the A la Carte stamps from the Holiday Mini Catalog - LEAVES OF A TREE.  It's one of the single stamps that we sell.

Leaves of a Tree (#123843) - $9.95

I inked the tree in Cajun Craze and used the edge of the Early Espresso stamp pad to add a little bit of accent.  I then put the Cajun Craze marker in the color spritzer to put the specks around the edges.  I used the Scallop Squares Duo with the Big Shot to add the scallop border.

Autumn Days - Swap Cards

Here are several more cards that I received at the Cincinnati Regional earlier this month. 
Both of them using the "Autumn Days" stamp set.  The top card doesn't have a name on the back, and the bottom card I took a picture of at the table.  Sorry, I can't give credit to those that made them.

Email me if you'd like to place an order or book a workshop.
