Snowman Season Card

Hello!  I fell in love with this lovely stamp set!  It colors up nicely and has some bling.  I will be replacing my card pic because my usual location just did not seem to be working.  I am not sure why!  I hope that this gives you inspiration.  Check out my inspiration card here.  I changed a few minor details but I loved her card!

Happy stamping!

Home to Roost Card

Home to Roost FREE stamp set (with $50 order)

Tuesday night is Ashland club night!  Paula was the demonstrator and she had this super fast and clean card for one of the projects.  We masked the rooster and then then stamped the grasses around it.

Spirited Snowmen card

Hello!  Things have been hopping here.  I have one child in Algebra II and another in Pre-Calculus so my days are never boring!  I have also been teaching five classes a morning to students in China.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE to teach online with VIPKIDS?  If you are interested give me a shout out.

I am going to use this card for my Christmas cards this year.  It is fun and easy.  The hardest part is the coloring but that is fun to do while watching tv with the family in the evenings.

Instructions: 

·       Lay the background stamp on the table and ink up with Shaded Spruce.  Lay the Limeade CS face down on top of the stamp and press.  You can lay scratch paper on top of the Limeade so that you won’t get ink on your fingers.

·       Stamp the snowman in black Momento ink.  Color as desired.

·       Stamp the sentiment on the banner and trim the end.

·       Stamp the holly in black Momento ink and color.  Cut out by hand. 

·       Adhere the layers.

·       Use a small dimensional to adhere the holly.  Tie a bow in the string and mount with a bit of snail adhesive.

·       Use Wink of Stella on the snowman for the final step.

      Happy stamping!

Flirty Flamingo Thank You card

Stamps:  Pop of Paradise and Timeless Texture
Colors:  Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, and Whisper White
Supplies:  Big Shot, Stitched Shapes framelits, Rhinestones, Scissors, Stamparatus, Whisper White ink pad

I tweaked this card a tiny bit and made it my own.  You can probably tell that I experimented with the shadowing on the leaves; I really like doing shadowing with the Wasabi marker and not the Garden Green I had originally planned to use.  The Garden Green was just too dark.

Happy stamping!

Brusho Celebrate Card for Club

Hello!  I had fun playing with the Brusho for this card.  I also pulled out my Celebrate You thinlit dies and loved them!

The Brusho was super easy to use.  I did NOT open the bottle but instead poked a hole in the lid with a push pin and saved the pin to act as a "stopper".  I sprinkled the red Brusho on my watercolor paper and then spritzed it with water.  After I let the red bleed into the water I added a few sprinkles of the Prussian blue.  Very cool!!!

Note to self...either punch the circle before you spritz or after the watercolor paper is completely dry.  One edge was not neatly punched out and I had to trim it a bit after it dried. 

Happy stamping!

Retro Week Godspeed set card #2

Oh happy day!  The roofers just left after replacing a missing shingle and patching a few spots.  I can sleep through the rain.  (-: 

Here is my favorite of the Godspeed cards.  I love the Topnote die and was so sad that it retired.

Happy stamping!
