More November projects

Here's a creative card created by Design Team member Windy Robinson.  I love how she altered the flowers to create a new unique embellishment.

Double Layered Flower Card by Windy Robinson

To make flower: 1) trim petals off of flowers

2) add glue dot to petals

3) adhere to the back of a whole flower

4) embellish flower by inking and adding layered buttons and ribbon

Card Ideas

Here's some great card ideas Design Team member Laura Davis created using the November 2010 PTA kit.  I love how Laura mixes and matches product from different collections to create a totally different look.  I also enjoy seeing how she layers embellishments to create added dimension to her cards.

Card using October PTA kit

Here's a card created by Trina Linford using the October 2010 Kit.  One of my new favorite techniques is using glimmer mist, which Trina used on this card.  It's tricky to use the first couple of times, but once you get the hang of it it's a cinch.  Make sure you do a couple of test sprays on a scrap piece of paper to figure out how far away to hold the bottle while you spray.  After I spray I like to dab the paper with a dry paper towel to help it dry a little faster.
