I am showing a card today for my alphabet series and today the letter is E. On this card I used embossing powder. Embossing powder is what got me into the stamping world many years ago. When I saw the powder magically change when heated, I was hooked! I must say that I have not used embossing powder for a long time now. I found some marbling embossing powder in my stash and decided to "paint" the flower with it. I used a Versa Marker to color in the areas of the flower, added the embossing powder over it and heat set it. You can see some of the marbling on both the petals and leaf.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavriDLKA6YzG5Bd1C9_dzbez0PQj8XXv_nmGlm3JbMS-N7j9JtAaOBmtK63c9x2AAV8UYofhNUzxaDQis0pviuA8mfo-74JcXTguL84JhjIzo3853QNzADdNqWjunMKV7rRQpHINxOEwv9GCLcxF5AFBzK5IvUPB4ao9leUN0jgvWYSqQ-TgpZS-dLZI/s616/e%20is%20for%20embossing%20powder.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="616" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavriDLKA6YzG5Bd1C9_dzbez0PQj8XXv_nmGlm3JbMS-N7j9JtAaOBmtK63c9x2AAV8UYofhNUzxaDQis0pviuA8mfo-74JcXTguL84JhjIzo3853QNzADdNqWjunMKV7rRQpHINxOEwv9GCLcxF5AFBzK5IvUPB4ao9leUN0jgvWYSqQ-TgpZS-dLZI/s16000/e%20is%20for%20embossing%20powder.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Stamp: Radiant - Penny Black</div><div style="text-align: left;">Embossing Powders: Sienna Star, Marbeld Turnip, Marbled Squash - Sparkle N Sprinkle</div><div style="text-align: left;">Patterened Paper: Perch - Momenta</div><div style="text-align: left;">Sequins: Catherine Pooler</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by.

I am showing another card for my Alphabet series and today is the letter D. I found some doilies in my stash where I had used punches to make the doily. I used some tissue paper, cut out a circle shape using a die and then folded the tissue paper into a small triangle - much like the fold to make a snowflake. I used 3 punches - the pansy on the large end of the tirangle, then a heart and small circle punch. I remember making these a long time ago and just found them while I was moving! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkzrXihdlPYTNrelszfLguPIhJwiKNgqjZkaGtBkgywEhSBGNszYTV2AFIv_DfNw6JFetSHWSTa2Schavlb_2mqsMdEXOIAovSM6-6VAm3D0MJHiYqV1kOtZauxs2AcisSRxyyZt54S11CkH7Ijr0L6NyIxGhTLBhTknZ_3RqAiPmTz3CKP9WvLiuLbq4/s357/D%20is%20for%20Doily.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="357" data-original-width="274" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkzrXihdlPYTNrelszfLguPIhJwiKNgqjZkaGtBkgywEhSBGNszYTV2AFIv_DfNw6JFetSHWSTa2Schavlb_2mqsMdEXOIAovSM6-6VAm3D0MJHiYqV1kOtZauxs2AcisSRxyyZt54S11CkH7Ijr0L6NyIxGhTLBhTknZ_3RqAiPmTz3CKP9WvLiuLbq4/w307-h400/D%20is%20for%20Doily.JPG" width="307" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Stamp: Floral Pop stamp and die set - Sizzix</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Italian Poetry Background - Hero Arts</div><div style="text-align: left;">Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers</div><div style="text-align: left;">Punches: Pansy - Martha Stewart</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Heart and Circle hole punches</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by.

I am showing another card today for my alphabet series. Today the letter is C and I am using chalks. I have been moving and most of my craft supplies are at the new house. So making this card was a huge challenge! I found a background in my stash where I had used the floating chalks technique. I scraped various colors of chalk on top of a pan of water and dipped my card stock into it. I really like the fun background that it made. I also had this cute House Mouse already colored and die cut so I matted it onto a piece of black card stock. I used a letter stencil for the word love and a strip of patterned paper to add some interest. Talk about having to use my brain! I really had to think a lot about this card!<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizryHKYfpGwWJv5hjFLr4Un66rlStar3AVfUPoc-GPZD3iesJRjfnYesfVXTsZx8bEHUnB7TvMUPUSgCgJSTGN-Cd0JFaZgBywCY4CXmaYA1TGjZxhkYZhdfQmcnCCMmSzWodCYXZLxgC8Zrw8-4L_DtqbkTReh8oihC3xqsiowz85qJ7-Vk7nPIG-wPc/s640/IMG_2336%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="490" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizryHKYfpGwWJv5hjFLr4Un66rlStar3AVfUPoc-GPZD3iesJRjfnYesfVXTsZx8bEHUnB7TvMUPUSgCgJSTGN-Cd0JFaZgBywCY4CXmaYA1TGjZxhkYZhdfQmcnCCMmSzWodCYXZLxgC8Zrw8-4L_DtqbkTReh8oihC3xqsiowz85qJ7-Vk7nPIG-wPc/w306-h400/IMG_2336%20(1).jpg" width="306" /></a></div><br /><div>Stamp: House Mouse - Stampendous</div><div>Chalks</div><div>Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers</div><div>Spellbinders Die - Labels 8</div><div>Stencil - Letters - Tim Holtz</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks so much for stopping by!

I am going through the alphabet this year and using a craft item or doing a card technique that starts with a letter of the alphabet.

Each new year I start a series on my blog to keep me inspired throughout the year. I decided this year to go through the alphabet and use a craft item or do a card technique that starts with a letter of the alphabet. Of course today I am starting with the letter A and I have used alcohol inks to make a background. I love doing techniques with alcohol inks. This time I swiped a piece of glossy card stock through 2 colors of alcohol inks. I then spritzed a stencil with 91% alcohol and laid the stencil over the swiped background and let it sit a little bit. When I carefully removed the stencil, the alcohol removed some of the color from the background and left its impression. I stamped directly onto the background using a permanent brown ink and used alcohol markers to color in a few areas.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bvVjHvom0QjhFQONbg7idHY22kyoVIO1VU1tY_n5uK4wx-cQOR44JyuoBFMZGqJZ7VYMGvfLiNlNLfimo6nMJaya7uQyu8wkzxFNHCDEFWtQrvayZbaXKC6P_zkGXfmPQreggKyggN_9kLgXXomrDy7JqWH4e3YbghAJcfQYR48n8o0ubXcFF95DI_w/s625/Jan%20A.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bvVjHvom0QjhFQONbg7idHY22kyoVIO1VU1tY_n5uK4wx-cQOR44JyuoBFMZGqJZ7VYMGvfLiNlNLfimo6nMJaya7uQyu8wkzxFNHCDEFWtQrvayZbaXKC6P_zkGXfmPQreggKyggN_9kLgXXomrDy7JqWH4e3YbghAJcfQYR48n8o0ubXcFF95DI_w/s16000/Jan%20A.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Stamps: Boatyard - Art Impressions</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> Saying - Special Seahorse Stamp Set - Acushla Stamps</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Stencil - Crafters Workshop</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Alcohol Inks - Ranger</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Thanks so much fo stopping by today.

I have another card to show you using dies. I crumpled aluminum foil, flattened it out and glued it behind the "window" die. I then colored in the areas using alcohol markers to give a stained glass effect. Afterwards I took off the "window" die and placed another one over the top of the colored areas because the first one gets color on the white areas. I used a new Christmas tree die and cut it out of teal shimmery paper.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhomxRvjktCzu1L4lKt2hT9N_22dqhLj9bBBnVI_gSNAa4qMW_AAlCZvwYexSlod1UA_gUdRweGzUK-uU5ycsIteouY0ZRmcg9j6RrNgCE8RUIwR2RJYxdJtYBL_CE2-0K80aaQkG5LY0tRu7C7b_zkmb37rYvw16PYo5nBjbOL0rPy_-mQ7Q-DDqOEGFE/s615/dies%20tree%20-%20window.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="615" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhomxRvjktCzu1L4lKt2hT9N_22dqhLj9bBBnVI_gSNAa4qMW_AAlCZvwYexSlod1UA_gUdRweGzUK-uU5ycsIteouY0ZRmcg9j6RrNgCE8RUIwR2RJYxdJtYBL_CE2-0K80aaQkG5LY0tRu7C7b_zkmb37rYvw16PYo5nBjbOL0rPy_-mQ7Q-DDqOEGFE/w520-h640/dies%20tree%20-%20window.JPG" width="520" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Dies: Forest Trees set - Echo Park</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> Alterations Collection - Sizzix</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Aluminum Foil</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Saying: Sticker - Paper Crafts</b></div><p><b>Thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you are enjoying the season. I am showing a card today that I made with all dies. I just received all of these new dies and I could not wait to use them. For the snowflake background I used a piece of card stock where I had applied shimmer powders and added water for a blended look. For the "snow" around the edges of the card, I used a Tim Holtz stencil and brushed white pigment ink over it. The saying is a sticker.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9iZKCy3gLseD6Wg70O3UeP517FIYhMXPTrkZCoT0HCQ2Fbz0oQMJvch7B5ZaRcEQ6Z3kYrjrsrQOB4L3z-2A2DKFNsE8GoeSkkHm9RIk5tN0lhZ7oJN1Me5RUMs22MzFE8oaP5uUn_EK7kjGA8D5qsfrm1E3RBcu6XKrp102gElVth6TW_TY1DH81jw/s623/dies%20deer.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="623" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9iZKCy3gLseD6Wg70O3UeP517FIYhMXPTrkZCoT0HCQ2Fbz0oQMJvch7B5ZaRcEQ6Z3kYrjrsrQOB4L3z-2A2DKFNsE8GoeSkkHm9RIk5tN0lhZ7oJN1Me5RUMs22MzFE8oaP5uUn_EK7kjGA8D5qsfrm1E3RBcu6XKrp102gElVth6TW_TY1DH81jw/s16000/dies%20deer.JPG" /></a></div>Dies: Forest Trees set - Echo Park<div> Snowflake Background - Echo Park</div><div> Deer set - Cottage Cutz</div><div>White Pigment Ink - Hero Arts</div><div>Shimmer Powders - Pixie Powder</div><div>Stencil - Tim Holtz</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks so much for stopping by.

I am showing another way to color a stamped image. While I was packing to move, I found these Smooch Pearlized inks that I had not used in a long time. I really enjoyed using them to color the leaves on the tree. They have a very small brush like tip, just perfect to color in small areas. They are so pretty and shimmery too.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEmP8Ds56cK-jvUkEspadKleFqYk-YZBTBaxhxb-vX8D2iVeWlYQLpM6hNhyphenhyphenY3fmxiiuKH7oacazrwcNxcbWfN_SZ2pqIJUgJEitcwSNPaTUcqSF8RaXuOzNGLi7wLv0b6zmQh_c5cdZiIpBOQ-QNZyzk2C6u9duFG_boTY8qaEuNyCIDvXrqXgsjof8/s2734/smooch%20inks.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2734" data-original-width="2150" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEmP8Ds56cK-jvUkEspadKleFqYk-YZBTBaxhxb-vX8D2iVeWlYQLpM6hNhyphenhyphenY3fmxiiuKH7oacazrwcNxcbWfN_SZ2pqIJUgJEitcwSNPaTUcqSF8RaXuOzNGLi7wLv0b6zmQh_c5cdZiIpBOQ-QNZyzk2C6u9duFG_boTY8qaEuNyCIDvXrqXgsjof8/w315-h400/smooch%20inks.JPG" width="315" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I found a background in my stash where I used the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZMAwKw3eFM" target="_blank">bokeh</a> technique.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I am showing this Thanksgiving card I made where I used an alcohol inked background that I pulled from my stash. When I made this background, while the alcohol ink was still a bit tacky, I added some gold gilding flakes to it to add some shine. I cut out the skeleton leaf die from watercolor paper and used the negative to lay over the alcohol inked background. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsEcAqbhYeBYru9RNcma8lkh_cazIDaZrafKMqDUhjq_4dbjKJ16X4rqVn1DJJ2La2MGMaB-WBiWQjbexUkLHfb29mpEAxwi-ozRYLelZODnNPEzA3eH5jTGQ0SUudOrNofw5Y6snexqcj8QrMM8FgEIgdMefcEEt5sLNJz7Sd-cz8n5v6n26JmXfpVLA/s601/Thanksgiving.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="601" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsEcAqbhYeBYru9RNcma8lkh_cazIDaZrafKMqDUhjq_4dbjKJ16X4rqVn1DJJ2La2MGMaB-WBiWQjbexUkLHfb29mpEAxwi-ozRYLelZODnNPEzA3eH5jTGQ0SUudOrNofw5Y6snexqcj8QrMM8FgEIgdMefcEEt5sLNJz7Sd-cz8n5v6n26JmXfpVLA/w533-h640/Thanksgiving.JPG" width="533" /></a></div>Die: Skeleton Leaves Die Set - Sizzix (TH)<div>Alcohol Inks - Ranger</div><div>Saying - Unknown</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks so much for stopping by.

I am showing a deer card I made for the <a href="https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Double D Challenge</a>. I made the deer stamp by using a deer die and cut it out of fun foam. I inked up the deer in a light tan color. Then I inked up a woodgrain stamp with a darker brown ink and stamped this stamp over the deer and then stamped the deer onto my card stock. This is called the "kissing" technique. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomp3QWY3SygZvbeSmngLmHGBrxaHeskB75_T7oLzvr5VEoySMw7U7sFbKJGSoXrP1inxXhHDhRySWx3PXgeTzysQut_qKKKcCeykcPAXFQw0tDjaBkDB1m9JG4DsUFME7yErWsCwYXIUtjrigJBBSUUevNl28mWMdMKpF91pcHBssWLfQMnTTdn6hRXY/s2614/DD%20deer.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2614" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomp3QWY3SygZvbeSmngLmHGBrxaHeskB75_T7oLzvr5VEoySMw7U7sFbKJGSoXrP1inxXhHDhRySWx3PXgeTzysQut_qKKKcCeykcPAXFQw0tDjaBkDB1m9JG4DsUFME7yErWsCwYXIUtjrigJBBSUUevNl28mWMdMKpF91pcHBssWLfQMnTTdn6hRXY/w313-h400/DD%20deer.JPG" width="313" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Stamp: Made from Deer Flight Sizzix Die - (TH)</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Woodgrain stamp - unknown</div><div style="text-align: left;">Die: Holiday Greens Mini Set - Sizzix - (TH)</div><div style="text-align: left;">SnowFlakes: Stickers</div><div style="text-align: left;">Inks: Distress - Antique Linen and Tea Die - Ranger</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by.

I was packing getting ready to move and I kept discovering products that I had not used in ages. Imagine that! Most of my coloring mediums were already packed away so I was glad to find these ink stains called Ink Tintz, by Fiber Scraps. They work just like the ink stains by Ranger. I rubbed them right over my maple leaf stamp and then stamped the image on light tan card stock. This was a fast way to add color to a stamp. The bird was stamped onto a smooshed ink background and fussy cut. I splattered some Tea Die Distress ink over the card.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkptxaJXTDTlHMLVWHXwQyL6Qubs8ib73w7YyaBzWyg89OdZbV9OWOPMIdqkF3tafxY9YQ_aj0zbVLJBlfWFblJufpvh1ncZ1htgJ2d4uwe69bUK08IWZTwKHMor-pBTkSM7FRQpLO5mSg6FKkFbFuJO3lc4CdJ9WQQNp2ytVsw2csay2uKKUK4pr9X8o/s640/Nov.%20color%201.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkptxaJXTDTlHMLVWHXwQyL6Qubs8ib73w7YyaBzWyg89OdZbV9OWOPMIdqkF3tafxY9YQ_aj0zbVLJBlfWFblJufpvh1ncZ1htgJ2d4uwe69bUK08IWZTwKHMor-pBTkSM7FRQpLO5mSg6FKkFbFuJO3lc4CdJ9WQQNp2ytVsw2csay2uKKUK4pr9X8o/w313-h400/Nov.%20color%201.JPG" width="313" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Stamp: Scribbly Bird - Dina Wakley</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Maple Leaf - Hero Arts</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ink Tintz: (gold and green) - Fiber Scraps</div><div style="text-align: left;">Saying: Stampendous</div><div style="text-align: left;">Distress Ink: Tea Die</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by.

I realized when getting ready to make my card that I did not have much to color with! We are in the process of moving and I have packed up a lot of my crafting stuff. If there is a will there's a way, right? I saw that my finger daubers were still left out, so I decided to color with those! I stamped the pumpkin stamp and just used my finger daubers that had ink left on them. I did not use my ink pads. This was fast and easy and the colors blended so well. This method of coloring works best when using a stamp that is large and basically one color. I will color this way more often now!</p><p>A cloud stencil was used to make the sky and again I used finger daubers to color it and the leaves.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTISslZa4W89-booW3bOYBEIVocqOwnPaFF9o3-RaerJhpYFyudEov8LgJmbsu835EkNXYioeILCQZy69hB587atC8oF0xGkMrLr8CV40aj48MAn2OgFRONp7Ohr2IhNMhRDkzHczOVA113bcbYHa_GRamKGXpw6XOgzvC7XpgNsJxd_BzWXo0NIIc_V0/s630/color%20Oct.%202%20%2320.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTISslZa4W89-booW3bOYBEIVocqOwnPaFF9o3-RaerJhpYFyudEov8LgJmbsu835EkNXYioeILCQZy69hB587atC8oF0xGkMrLr8CV40aj48MAn2OgFRONp7Ohr2IhNMhRDkzHczOVA113bcbYHa_GRamKGXpw6XOgzvC7XpgNsJxd_BzWXo0NIIc_V0/s16000/color%20Oct.%202%20%2320.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Stamps: Pumpkins - Impression Obsession</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Saying - Sparkle N Sprinkle</div><div style="text-align: left;">Die: Skeleton Leaves - Sizzix (Tim Holtz)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Stencil: Cloud - My Favorite Things</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by.

Today I am showing a card I made for the Die Cut Diva's challenge - Layered Dies. You could use a layered die set or layer a die over another die. I used the background die set called Elsa by Creative Expression. I had the bird image in my stash and added it to the front along with white cord. The image and border were cut with the Spellbinders small circles die set.The image is from the Royal King stamp company.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKk6PG6QjeLMztz5C9jQpCif4MTk9v1Q1Dc7YIHLFXTl9-G4zwq2cds-ijcuBie2jNRtu5iLAegCD8HLcQ029t1PXAlQfw5ntusyTod-LuNaugxvm9HqMir3KeUoQpZ0gWUbTbE6ibTVpxuf64S0UZ6mEK7VJ4uZFuRmJpCXaNsvjxMB1PF3RVaIAAqQk/s626/DCD%20Oct.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKk6PG6QjeLMztz5C9jQpCif4MTk9v1Q1Dc7YIHLFXTl9-G4zwq2cds-ijcuBie2jNRtu5iLAegCD8HLcQ029t1PXAlQfw5ntusyTod-LuNaugxvm9HqMir3KeUoQpZ0gWUbTbE6ibTVpxuf64S0UZ6mEK7VJ4uZFuRmJpCXaNsvjxMB1PF3RVaIAAqQk/w319-h400/DCD%20Oct.JPG" width="319" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Thanks for stopping by today.

I have been making Christmas cards all through the year so that I won't be crunched right before the season. I am also getting ready to move, so I am glad my cards are done. On this card I used the Hero Arts village stamp and stamped with navy ink. I also used the Memory Box Orchard Tree Frame and Background die. This die makes a pretty shaped card. The saying is a sticker. Rhinestones were added to look like falling snow. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT_NovXMIZnpOgot9H9yL5N6C00wH-8N4I8MORqp0X5e1vG4NOaDB6u519T_A_SZszfcVmEc3Uc3dPzCIL5DF47yBd8QlcqGBgsukmsUFtcH6pMIVVqjgm4_4MBVEshx52_NUts5opZ0cInL0djCVUcrfBQmd5dVyNVudJ_DcYLrmeo7um8_unBdhj0Os/s2870/HA%20and%20MB%20Oct..JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2870" data-original-width="2237" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT_NovXMIZnpOgot9H9yL5N6C00wH-8N4I8MORqp0X5e1vG4NOaDB6u519T_A_SZszfcVmEc3Uc3dPzCIL5DF47yBd8QlcqGBgsukmsUFtcH6pMIVVqjgm4_4MBVEshx52_NUts5opZ0cInL0djCVUcrfBQmd5dVyNVudJ_DcYLrmeo7um8_unBdhj0Os/w312-h400/HA%20and%20MB%20Oct..JPG" width="312" /></a></div><br /><p>I woiuld like to enter this into othe following challenges:</p><div style="text-align: left;">Hero Arts: <a href="https://heroarts.com/blogs/hero-arts-blog/stay-crafty-with-a-blog-named-hero-october-2023-challenge" target="_blank">Holiday Cards</a> ( any holiday )</div><div style="text-align: left;">Memory Box: <a href="https://davebrethauer.typepad.com/outsidethebox/page/2/" target="_blank">Terrific Trees</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks so much for stopping by.
