Welcome Baby Card by Jearise
I first heat embossed the stamp with WOW embossing powder then I used my alcohol markers to color the stamp. I added some fun details such as clear glitter to the sheep and Noah's beard plus flocking to the waves. I brought everything together by layering my card front and adding a little yellow and white twine bow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR by Fran
I think I got my glitter fix making this card, lol. I have a stamp set called Dot Spot. I placed the various dots on my Fiskars Stamp press in the pattern I wanted for my card. Added VersaMark Watermark to the various dot stamps and stamped the front of the card. Then to get the WOW effect I wanted I coated the stamped dots with WOW! Embossing Powder (Metallic Platinum Sparkle). The Happy New Year sentiment and banner were created using the Portrait Silhouette. And used 3-D foam pads behind the banner for dimension. I added the Metallic Platinum Sparkle embossing powder to the edges of the banner using VersaMark Watermark. Oh a little, just a little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter on the sentiment.
On the inside of the card I cut a 4-1/2” square in white cardstock. I added some of the dots (embossed with metallic platinum sparkle) on two corners to bring the front of the card inside. And I added silver glitter tape* to the top and bottom edges.
The overall size of the card is 5-1/2” square.
*Glitter Tape was purchased from Cutters Creek’s one of many clubs offered by Kim Bush. The clubs offer a number of various creating supplies for a set cost each month for 6 months. The clubs enable you to build on your supplies.
Supplies used can be purchased from the Cutters Creek Online Store:
Adhesive – Tombow Mono Permanent Runner

Happy New Year, Fran

12 Days of Christmas Day 9 by Deanna M
Today I have for you a 5" X 7" card. My card base is white card stock. I cut a piece of dark blue card stock 4 1/2" X 6 1/2". I stamped my image with some Versamark ink and embossed it using Opaque White WOW! embossing powder. To give the allusion that it's snowing, I added some Shabby White Fran-Tage.
Next I cut another piece of white card stock about 3". I used a Memory Box die called Country Landscape to cut the top of my card stock. (AND Yes, Kim can now order the Memory Box dies, just ask). Next I added some glitter to the "snow" so it would glisten and then added it to my blue card stock. Once I had all of that attached to my card base I cut a Snowflake Doily from the Cricut Paper Trimmings cartridge. This was cut at 1 1/2" out of blue card stock. I then cut a 1" circle out of white card stock and embossed my Happy Holidays sentiment using some Bodacious Blue WOW! glitter embossing powder.
Thanks so much for visiting today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for day 10 and another great project from the Design Team. Please leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our projects.

Happy Halloween by Deanna M
For my card I started with a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" black card stock base. I used my Graphic 45 Steampunk Paper for my card as well. The rust color mat is cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and the black dotted paper is cut at 3 3/4" X 5". (the dotted paper is the reverse of the rust paper, got to love two sided paper)! Even though it is sold out in the store, just ask, and Kim can order you some and there are some other great pads, check out the 12 Days of Christmas paper pad.
For my web, I embossed each layer with some WOW! embossing powder in Black Glint embossing powder. The spider was embossed with the Black Ebony embossing powder. I stamped and cut the web out of white card stock. To age it just a bit I sprayed it with some Old Lace Glimmer Mist.
I layered the cuts of the web with some foam dots between the layers. I then added a foam dot to the very center of my layered spider web and then adhered it to my card front with some Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive. To finish the spider I added some purple stickles to his body. My sentiment is from the same stamp and die set. I stamped it with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I used my eBosser and the Magnetic Shim to cut my die images out. One of Kim's customers asked if we could do a video showing how to use this shim and the embossing mat. So while working on this project I shot a short video to show you how I use the shim. I hope it will help answer some of your questions.

Fabulous Day Card by Deanna M
I started with some green card stock cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" portrait card base. I add a yellow mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" then I added another green mat cut at 3 3/4" X 5". I then cut another piece of yellow card stock at 3 1/2" X 3 1/2 and ran it through my eBosser and embossed it with my new Anna Griffin Matelassé embossing folder. (I love this one, and Kim can and will order if for you, just ask her. You can contact Kim through the store site here.)
I adhered all my layers together with my ATG gun. After I adhere the embossed yellow mat, I added a piece of Washi Tape to the base as a border. (OK, I admit, this is my free gift from Kim at the end of the club, but she can likely order this too.)
Next I stamped a small piece of card stock cut to 2" X 2" with my flower image with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored my flower image with some chalk. I then went back and using a blue water colored pencil to add a bit of shading. I blended everything together with my Dove blending pen. I matted my image on another piece of green card stock cut to 2 1/4" 2 1/4" and adhered it to my card front with some Kool Tak clear foam squares.
Finally I added my sentiment using some VersaMark embossing ink and the new Saraha WOW! Embossing Powder I just received from Kim. The new Desert Sand Limited Edition set. LOVE IT!!! So sparkly. Okay, so now confession time, I really had bad luck and did not enjoy using embossing powders on my projects until Kim started selling the WOW! embossing powders. The others I tried to use just didn't melt and give me the results I expected. The WOW! embossing powders melt beautifully. If you haven't tried them yet, you should, you won't regret it.
I would love to know what you think of my project and this embossing folder. I think it is beautiful and am so excited that I now own it.

BINGO
If you've never used the WOW Embossing Powder there's a great You Tube Video video from CHA that explains everything on the How To's. It's super easy and a lot of fun. On my BINGO card I used the powder on the card itself, and on the numbers.
The other items I used were Graphic 45 Paper and Rich Coco Memento Ink to do some distressing around the white paper. Everything that has a link to it, except the You Tube Video from CHA, can be found at Cutter's creek Store. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Hope you enjoy my post!

65th Birthday Card by Deanna M
My card is a 5" X 7" white card base. I added a dark purple mat cut at 4 3/4" X 6 3/4" and a patterned paper mat cut at 4 1/2" X 6 1/2".
For my 65 I used the Cricut Craft Room and the Craft Room Basics and the shadow feature to weld together the 65 purple base. I then cut the main layer out of a reddish pink card stock.Papers are from my stash. I sprayed the this layer with two coats of the Pink Glitter Dust Spray. My numbers were cut out at 4".
I used Scotch Quick Dry adhesive to adhere my number layers together. I also used the adhesive to attach my numbers to my card front.
My banner is cut from the Create-A-Critter 2 cartridge. (Kim can order this for you). I cut it at 3 1/4" out of some lime green card stock. I stamped my sentiment with some VersaMark embossing ink (Kim can probably get this for you). I formed my clear stamp so it followed the curve of the banner and stamped it. Since purple is my friends favorite color I embossed the image with some Presido Purple WOW! Embossing Powder. I attached my banner to my card using some 3D pop up glue dots. I used one glue dot on each end and two glue dots stacked in the middle so the banner has a wavy appearance.
This was a fun card to make. I hope you enjoyed it.

Graduation Card by Michele
I added my graduation paper on the flaps. To close it I added a band that is 1 1/2 wide and you can adjust the length. I used a die-cut from Spellbinders Lacey Ovals. 
The saying I printed out from my computer and then added pop up dots. The hat(a stamp I had in my stash) I cut out and added some Diamond Stickles. The inside I stamped congratulations.

Washi Tape Die Cutting by Deanna M
A co-worker is redoing her bathroom in black and white tile and her favorite color is red so I decided to incorporate all 3 colors into a birthday card for her.
My card base is white card stock cut and folded to make a 4 1/2" X 6" card base. I added a black mat cut at 4 1/4" X 5 3/4" and then another white mat cut at 4" x 5 1/2" and finally a black patterned paper mat cut at 3 3/4" X 5. My flower is die cut using a sizzix die and I embossed the sentiment with some WOW! Opaque Bright White embossing powder. (it is currently sold out but I am sure Kim will be adding more to the store soon). I added a black stitched white ribbon and tied a knot bow on it.
For the flower I cut a piece of white card stock big enough to fit my die and lightly coated it with some Inkssentials Glue n Seal. I then added rows of Washi Tape to my card stock in a diagonal pattern (just because I wanted to).
Here is a short video showing you how I did this.
As I said in the video, I think this would be a great technique for a background mat on a card as well. I sure hope you will give this technique a try.

My Heart Belongs 2 U....by Laura C
I started with a blank base tag.....then I stamped and
embossed the heart (a Tim Holtz stamp) using WOW embossing
glitter in Angel Wings then inked the rest of the tag up
with Distress Inks:
Festive Berries, Barn Door, Shaded Lilac.
I dripped water on it to give the background
a more distressed look.
After using a distressing tool around the edges of
the tag....I reinked with more Barn Door ink.
Then I lightly brush the tag with Adirondack
Paint Dauber in Pearl. I also used the daubers
on the metal #2....first Red Pepper, then while
still wet....some Pearl to mix it into a silvery pink.
I also used the Pearl to fill in the word "Cherish" on
the metal tag and brushed it around the edge of
the plastic TH fragment piece under the letter
"U".....that piece was also colored with Red
Pepper Alcohol Ink. Then I inked up the
love definition stamp from the TH
"Love Struck" set in white, and stamped
randomly on the tag. Then it was just finishing
touches....a bit of TH tissue tape under
the letter U (which is a TH sticker) and
attaching TH baubles, charms, and some
seam binding ribbon.
Many of these fun items are in Cutter's Creek,
if you can't find them in store....please ask Kim,
she is glad to order for you as well!
Take some time to have a little of your own
creative playtime....hope we can inspire you to
do just that!

Oh Wow oh Wow - Embossing Powders by Tee
I first inked the dress form with versamark and added a coat of pink embossing powders.....Inked again and added a second coat.. I then added a coat of the extra thick for that glossy glassy look on top.
I then used the embossing pen and draw on the bottom of the dress and added some new vodka sparkle...
The wings has three coats of silver then while the embossing was still wet I pressed a decorative stamp into... Look how lovely they turned out..
The tag was stamped with one of their new burlap stamp pads and first embossed in silver than stamped again and embossed in black. Love these embossing powders

Valentine's Day Cards by Deanna M
It is hard to believe that 2012 is over with and we have entered 2013. If time moves as quickly has it has been Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. Here are a few easy cards to get you started on creating yours.
All of my cards have a white card stock base and are 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". My mat layers are 4" X 5 1/4" and 3 3/4" X 5. All of my paper is from K & Company and are from older paper pads.
All of my little critters are from Create A Critter 2. I cut the Teddy Bear and Koala bear at 3 1/2" and the Love Bug is cut at 3".
For my Teddy Bear I used some onyx pearls liquid pearls for his eyes and a white gel pen to add some faux stitching to my heart. I used white distress stain to stamp my little sentiment on my heart. He is attached to the card with an Action Wobble.
This is the Hero Arts stamp set I used for all of my sentiments. I got it awhile back and have been anxious to use it.This item is not a standard stock item in the store but Kim at Cutter's Creek can order it for you so don't hesitate to ask her.

Advent Calendar by Deanna M
Here is the advent calendar I made this year. The tree is from Kaisercraft and Kim special ordered it for me. (Thanks Kim!)
I painted the edges with some green acrylic paint as well as the little wooden pieces for the numbers. I used some Glue and Seal to adhere my paper to the front and back of my tree. The paper is from my stash. I added some Washi Tape by My Minds Eye for my garland.
Next I cut a star from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge at 2 1/2" and I covered the whole thing front and back with some WOW! Gold Rich Ultra embossing powder.
Next I cut the countdown to Christmas out with my Silhouette out of some red card stock and then embossed it twice using the Clear Gloss WOW! embossing powder.
Finally I cut my numbers out of red vinyl and adhered them to my wooden pieces.

Gift Tags and More! by Deanna M
For these tags I cut some Bazzill white card stock 3" X 3". I then used cut some patterned paper 2 7/8" X 2 7/8" and 2 3/4" X 2 3/4". I used papers from the Echo Park Holly Jolly and Season's Greetings and My Minds Eye Winter Wonderland. The upper left tag I added a piece of white card stock that I rounded the corners and then stamped it with some embossing ink and embossed it with the WOW! Cable Car Red Embossing powder. For the tag with the Trees and the Stocking I used some of the stickers from the Holly Jolly collection. The Poinsettia tag was made using the Spellbinder Poinsetta die. I inked the poinsettia with some of the Festive Berries Distress Ink and I added some gold Liquid Pearls to the center. I am going to try to get a better picture of the tags in the morning, hopefully it will be much brighter than this even. Finally I used my crop-a-dile and punched a hole in the corner of each tag and added some Doodlebug Twine.

Quick and Elegant Christmas Cards by Deanna M
Today I have for you two versions of a quick but elegant Christmas card that would be easy to mass produce.
I started with a prefolded 5" X 7" white card base. I ran each of my card bases through my eBosser and embossed it with a Spellbinders MBossabilities folder called Holiday Magic. This folder is not in the store but Kim special ordered it for me and I love it. It is a 5" x 7" folder and worked perfectly with this project. I sprayed my embossed card front with some Glitter Dust, I used gold on one card and silver on the other. Once that was dry I added some ribbon from my stash. The snowflake is cut from the Winter Lace cartridge at 4". I used the pink and irridescent glitter dust on the snowflake. I cut a mat for my sentiment out of elegant edges at 2" and stamped my sentiment. I used the pink glitter dust on the shadow for the sentiment mat. For the gold card I cut a mat out of the Once Upon a Princess cartridge at 2" and embossed my sentiment with some WOW! gold embossing powder. I adhered everything to my card fronts with some super stickly 3D glue dots.
I have a short video for you because the photo does not do these cards justice. I hope you like the cards.

The Stockings Were Hung... by Deanna M
I have a quick and easy card Christmas card today. It is not too early to start on yours as well.
I started with a white card stock base scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I added a dark green mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and then my patterned paper mat cut at 3 3/4" X 5". My patterned paper is from the Echo Park Holly Jolly 6"x 6" paper pad. I then cut a red mat at 4 3/4" X 3 1/2". I ran that through my eBosser (love this great machine!) and embossed all but the last inch or so of the paper using the Tiny Mosaic Cuttlebug embossing folder. I then used a sponge dauber to sponge Black Soot and Fired Brick distress ink randomly over my "bricks". My stocking was cut from the Tis the Season cricut cartridge at 3". Again this paper is from the Echo Park Holly Jolly 6"x 6" paper pad.
My sentiment was embossed using the WOW! Tea Garden Green embossing powder. I attached my stocking to the front of the card with some foam tape and added an adhesive nail head from my stash.
