Hallelujah!...I'm Moved: Well, almost...

Well, it's Lynell here again for Pam. Our fearless leader wants you to know she misses you, but still hasn't found her computer in the stack of boxes in her studio. Well, I guess I'm embellishing the truth just a bit...but the part about wanting you to know she feels bad that she hasn't been in touch with her blog and missing you is true... and she is looking forward to having all those crazy moving boxes empty and organized. A fortunate thing is that I have found one of her beautiful cards in my archives. And I don't think it is one that she has shared with you before. It even meets her requirements for our November challenge... The Holidays CAS (clean and simple). If you would like a chance to win a jar of embossing paste (your choice) and your favorite stencil (or our large paste spreader LM2010) just click HERE to find out the requirements. It's easy peasy! Just a matter of linking it to mr. linky on the Dreamweaver site...or if you don't have a blog or a way to post it on mr. linky and want me to post it for you just email it to lynell@dreamweaverststencils.com and I will take care of that...please just write a brief description of how you made the card...sometimes my guessing is not correct.

This simple yet elegant card can be very easily paste-embossed using the Glossy Black embossing paste (DGKP)....or you could even use glossy blue paste. And if you have never done the embossing paste before...my recommendation is to start with a design like either of these...very small tiny lines are easier for beginners. The tree stencil (LL547) was pasted onto copper metallic card stock and the Hallelujah stencil (LM2007) was pasted onto see-through vellum paper. When they were dry she repositioned the clean stencils and daubed the design with Stamp and Stick glue (GSP) and stenciled them with Glacier Lake Metallic F/X (FX12) mica powders using a stencil brush. What could be easier? Then she mounted the vellum pieces with small copper brads. A beautiful card Pam...and hey if you're listening (or in this case "reading") and I have the facts incorrect please feel free to make a comment. LOL!!! Nothing like telling you what to do with your own blog and card designs, huh Pam?.... Hope your back in the groove soon. We all know it is hard to do a move anytime, but during the Holidays?...Whew! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Now...here's the list of the Dream it Up team. Hope you'll have time to see what they have been up to this week:
