Woodland Thanks
Here’s another card I submitted for publication – most of the product used on this card is from Basic Grey’s Max & Whiskers collection. The center medallion was made using emboss resist. I punched a mask using the EK Success Wavy Circle punch, then clear embossed Stampin’ Up!’s Woodgrain stamp. I then removed the mask and sponged Stampin’ Up!’s Crumb Cake Ink and Tim Holt’s Peeled Paint Distress Ink over the embossed image and wiped off. I then Punched out the image with Stampin’ Up!’s 2 1/2″ Circle...

Then perhaps you could use a garlic necklace? I love the Stampin’ Up! set Homegrown, but this was the first time I’d used it. I thought it was a fun way to use the garlic stamp from that set. Not a lot to say about this card. The base is Basic Black cardstock with Vanilla Mist Smooch Spritz sprayed on it to give it some glam. The drops of blood are covered in Crystal Effects to make them look wet. The rest is just some fussy cutting and attaching of ribbon. Supplies All supplies SU! Stamps: Homegrown Paper: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Ivory Naturals Ink: Early...

This card is a mash up of a few online challenges from this summer – the Embellish Coloring Challenge (yellow, pink, green, and tan) and the August 20th Hero Arts 90 minute scramble (use the “filler” stamps in a set rather than the main image), and I also think a sketch challenge, but for the life of me I can’t find it (again…a causality of my not posting these cards promptly!). I used Stampin’ Up!’s French Foliage set for my “filler” stamps – the script is stamped on the patterned paper in So Saffron, and the passport stamp...
Read MoreCircus Birthday Card
I was inspired to make this card by all the cool circus themed products out there, but had to make due with the supplies I had on hand. Immediately I thought of the cute elephant from Stampin’ Up!’s Animal Stories set – that was the easy part. Figuring out the ball and the tent was another story. After playing around with a few ideas on how to make the ball, I decided to keep it simple and just to use a fabric brad. As for the background, I was really stumped, until I watched the movie Coraline and saw the scene when she is watching the mouse circus. Here’s how I...

Stamps: Broadsheet Alphabet Paper: Paisley Petals DSP, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Brushed Gold, Very Vanilla Ink: Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler Accessories: Basic Pearls, Victoria Crochet Trim Tools: circle cutter, Scallop Trim...
Read More“do something” in a month
At the last neighborhood book club, one of the members mentioned that she wanted to try NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) during the month of April rather than waiting until November. She started recruiting other members of the book club to join her and when she got to me I said, no way, no no no no. But I did mention how I’d done NaBloPoMo last November, and that in solidarity with the writers in the group I would make a card (or something) every day. That got a few other folks to commit to do other projects (finish knitting a sweater, paint a picture every week, etc.) Now we...
