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

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape
