Questions Answered...

Good morning friends! Sorry for my disappearance earlier this week... I was enjoying the time with my family over the holiday that it was a bit of a rude awakening going back to work on Monday! Plus, this time is always an extremely busy one for me at school as we get ready for the holidays.

I don't have a card for you today, but I wanted to answer a few questions about my Pals Paper Arts card last week.


Before I begin, I want to thank all of you for your super sweet comments! I was floored by your kindness!

Eemili asked for a closer look at the pearls... Here you go!

Bakerbabe asked if the pearls are adhered directly to the circle that I punched out or to the card... The pearls are adhered directly to the card. The punched circle was used as a guide as the outside of the card. I adhered it with some removable adhesive, added the outermost circle of pearls, then removed the circle.

Ellen asked about what kind of pearls I used... I used Stampin' Up!'s Basic Pearl Jewels, which are half-back adhesive pearls. I used the 3 sizes - 5mm, 3mm, and 2mm. I ran out of the 3mm size, so I had to cut apart the strips of connected 3mm pearls (which is why you can see a bit of messy adhesive when you look very closely).

If I can answer any other questions, feel free to ask away! :) Thanks again for your kind comments!

Pals Paper Arts Celebrity Color Challenge

Knock! Knock! Are you ready for a fabulous and festive celebrity color challenge? We are over at Pals Paper Arts! :)


Here are the DEEtails:

I started with some Cherry Cobbler card stock. I stamped it with the Woodgrain background stamp and cut some door panels, matted and adhered to my Cherry Cobbler door. I added a Chocolate Chip brad for the door handle and adhered it to a piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Then I punched a bunch of leaves from the bird punch and created a wreath and bough. Then I added some Riding Hood Red Taffeta ribbon for a little extra pizzazz.

Hope you like it! And I hope you'll play along too! Remember, you can use your favorite products to create a card or project using the color palette above.
