Dies Series #2

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I am showing another card I made using a die that I have not used yet in my stash! It is never too early to start your Christmas cards, so I have made a Christmas card for 2021! I try to make a few each month so that I don't get crunched at the end of the year. The die I had not used yet is the snowy background die by Gina Marie. I cut it on a gelli print I had in my stash and then laid that on top of white glitter paper so that the snow looks sparkly.

You can see the sparkle better in this picture.

Stamps:  Chickadees and Saying- Sparkle N Sprinkle

Dies:  Snowy Background - Gina Marie

Double Dry Embossing

 Hi and welcome to my blog! I am using a new embossing folder today and trying out a new to me technique! This is fun and I like the look.

Stamp:  Good Day - Penny Black

Dies:  Stitched Ovals - Gina Marie

Embossing Folders:  Large Dots - FSJ  and   Dotted Swiss - Cuttlebug

Distress Inks

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

I used my new large dots embossing folder and swiped various colors of the small cube Distress inks over the raised dots. I then put the inked piece in a dotted swiss embossing folder to get the double embossed look. Here is a close up to see it better.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Die Cut Series #1

Hi and Happy New Year! Each year I put a new series on my blog to help me use up things in my stash. This year I want to focus on actually using some of my dies that I have not even used yet! I know we all have things in our craft areas that we have never used. I will be posting a die card on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month.  On my first card I made a little scene using this fun tree die by Gina Marie. This card came together by using bits and pieces of things in my stash as well.

Stamps:  Animals - Heartfelt Creations

               Saying - Unknown

Die:  Trees - Gina Marie

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

The background was made by pouncing a sponge onto the card stock using green and brown inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Card CASE

 Hi and welcome to my blog. At Hero Arts they have a challenge to case a card. Most of you stampers who know me know that I love birds. I received a Christmas card from one of my stamping friends, Cindi Walsh,  that had a bird on it. I love this card and this is the one I am casing today

On my card I used this neat bird from Hero Arts. I liked the wood panel on Cindi's card, so I swiped a few colors of Distress inks (using the small cube ink pads) down the card to look like an old wood panel. I used a swirl embossing folder to add interest and swiped some green Distress ink over the raised areas. The saying is no brand.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season and are ready to see 2020 behind us! My card follows the new beginnings theme because there will be some new beginnings for me to celebrate in 2021. First of all I am hoping to see Covid19 eradicated. I know you are too. I will be a grandmother for the first time this year! I also will be moving to a new location and moving into a new house that we will be building. I am really looking forward to this new year as you can see!
