A Peek at the Pals and Mini-Blog Candy


It's Wednesday and time to take a quick peek at this week's Pals Paper Arts card.  It is a simple, clean and classic card, and I hope you will join me in its reveal on Thursday.  And while you are waiting, don't forget to check out this week's Pals Artist Picks!

Would You Like to Win This Card...and Rhinestones, Too?


I will be randomly selecting one person to win this super-glitzy Greeting Card Kids card and a package of Stampin' Up!'s Basic Rhinestones.   All you need to do is leave a comment on today's post and tomorrow's reveal.  The winner will be selected from all comments left by 10:00 PM CST Friday.  I will announce the winner in Saturday's post.

As always, your comments are important to me...and don't forget that your comments today and tomorrow do qualify you for my "Mini Blog Candy".  And very importantly, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away.  Until next time...

Note to Debra:  The tiles I used to make the coasters are inexpensive 4" x 4" unglazed porcelain tiles.  They will feel a little rough to the touch, as compared to the glassy, smooth glazed tiles. These were discontinued and were on sale at a price of thirteen cents each.  Other ones, not on sale, were 33 cents. I hope this helps!

Ann, when I saw the Greeting Card Kids I though how bright and cheerful. Your work on this is the best I've seen. Today's card has me guessing if it's a Christmas card, can't wait to see it.

I would love to win the card (who wouldn't?) and I LOVE the rhinestones. I seriously think they are one of the best things Stampin' Up! has as an embellishment! inexpensive...but they pack a punch!

Margaret said...

Gotta try to win that gorgeous little girl card, it's the ultimate beauty! I also loved the coaster project yesterday, and especially the lovely way you wrote the lead-up to the project. I'm so pleased you let us know how to make them because I've been needing coasters and wanted to make some and those are the loveliest I've seen. Thank you!

thestampinglady said...

Of course I would love to win--this blue Christmas Card is one of my very favorite cards you have created. I had no internet till late afternoon now, it was hard drinking my coffee this morning without reading one of my favorite blogs. D

Hard to tell from this little peek but it looks fun! Maybe some holly leaves? Are those polka dots or are they holes? Either way, you have my interest for sure! As far as winning one of your stunning cards - hey, that is a no brainer for sure! Now, since you are offering the rhinestones - are there rhinestones on the card or pearls? Either way, I guess we will just have to wait! Looking forward to the full reveal!

Your Greeting Card Kids sweet card is so precious. Reminds me of when I was young and pulled children on a sled…but never a tree. Love all the glitz and glamour ~ what a great prize! Your sneak peek looks to be quite stunning ~ will be eager to see it tomorrow!
