39, again!?



Just popping in to show off a card for my mother-in-law's birthday next week. I used the No Worries paper pack, Cashmere and White Daisy cardstock, white burlap ribbon, and No Worries sequins (all CTMH). I also used CTMH Keyboard Uppercase Alpha stamp set.

I used some SU! products too - notably the Large Numbers Framelits, Chocolate Chip ink, and Glimmer Paper Assortment pack - Bermuda Bay (thank you, Sale-a-bration!)

I added some Liquid Glass to my glimmer paper 39 - to give it an extra layer. I'd always wanted to try adding LG to a die cut, but I was unsure how messy it would be plus, I just don't like to ruin things. But I gave it a try and absolutely LOVE how it came out! It was super easy to apply the LG, I just traced around the numbers (not particularly close to the edges) and used the applicator tip to move the LG around. The glimmer paper is somewhat forgiving, because it's glittery and beautiful as is, so I'm not sure how I would do on a plain old piece of cardstock. But I'll save that for future attempts! Just make sure you give it plenty of time to dry!  I'd like to give a shout-out to my all-purpose mat which made clean-up a BREEZE!

Thanks for stopping in! :)

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Christmas Vibes - in May?

I'm participating in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop .  My card is does not have a Spring/Summer theme - but it's never too early for Christmas, right? Last year, I started my Christmas cards in January - this year, I waited until yesterday to make my first Christmas card.  I just haven't been feeling the Christmas vibe so far this year. But I am pleased with how this one turned out! Supplies used: Caffeinated Christmas stamp set (sentiment) by Becca Cruger SU! Hang your Stocking (holly leaves) SU!

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
