I really like the bottom card in the chocolate chip selection. I used the Manhattan Flower embossing folder and then cut around one rose. I then sponged a bit of chocolate chip on the raised sections. I missed occasionally and got the actual petals, but it worked well.
So that is three sets done. Which means I have shown you 1/3 of the cards that I am to make using this OSW. Are you bored of these cards as yet? I know I'd like to see a couple of different colours for a few days. LOL. I have decided to have a break with my next post. Yep, I am going off schedule to show you something else! Keep your eyes peeled.
Okay that sounds simple enough, pick a stamp set and choose four colours. I thought I'd concentrate on colours that are staying with us after 1st September 2010, as I had seen lots recently from the farewell list. 
Alright, my mission sounds simple, but I just find it very difficult to make the same thing, so I decided that's I'd switch the base card colours around and make each one unique. So what started out as making nine cards, suddenly got extended to 27 unique cards! Well that's what I am aiming for!
Now I am sure that if I blogged 27 unique cards at once you'd be bomboozled with too much information, so I thought I'd show you what I'd made from each cut of the OSW in each post. This adorable selection started with four 3.5cm squares and the rest of the card was built around that.
I think this has been an excellent way to demonstrate that even using the same colourways and starting point, you can create some truly unique peices of artwork!
I love this idea as you don't have to have a heap of Christmas stamps. In fact, aside from the greeting the rest of the card is made using non christmas stamps.
Here is my creation. I have only just received the Echoes of Kindness hostess set and I am in love.... You can only get this set if you hold a workshop with $600+ in sales. And don't forget that for June and July 2009 if you hold a workshop with over $600 in sales, you will receive an extra $40 spending money. That's a free stamp set from the exclusive hostess range, plus $120 in spending money for anything on your wishlist. Email me if you'd like to hold a workshop or even a catalogue party.
I used the in-colours for my stamping today and since we don't have markers, I inked up the rose, using my blender pens. I got a little ink from the classic pads and applied it to the stamp. When I had coloured all the sections, I huffed - or in laymans talk breathed on it - which remoistened the ink and stamped as usual.
Well it's my birthday.... and hubby has looked after the kids so I can do whatever I want - and here I have been making cards, in peace. These little beauties were 'case'd from the fantastic Marelle Taylor. They were so easy and quick to make I could just make them all day.
Wow! Another week is nearly over and I am only just getting around to getting this post up. This is a sweet little card that I made for a friend of my daughters birthday this week. It was very quick and easy to make and is simply beautiful.
