I pulled out some old and some new for this card. I used the new Spooky Tree dies from SSS. An old stamp set from a company that is no longer around (Mark's Finest Papers) and a technique (AmyR at Prairie Paper and Ink) I saw for glow in the dark embossing powder. What fun that was! Of course mine is not as cute as hers but I think my grand-kids will like it!
Thanks,

A very glittery simple birthday card using DecoFoil. I have lots and lots of birthday cards that I send out each month. Most I try to make specifically for the recipient but I also like to have a few in my stash in case I get behind. This one is pink with some fun balloons floating. DecoFoil and some of GinaK's foilable sentiments sure makes it easy to make some quick birthday cards to keep on hand.

I got the star and the Believe in Christmas last year and I am embarrassed to say this is the first time I used it. I think i purchase more than I use - bad me! This is on navy card stock and a star stencil from MFT. The star and believe is using silver glitter paper. I heat embossed the "in the magic of" in navy embossing powder and the Christmas in silver. I also used several layers of the star and believe to add some dimension. The sentiment is on some vellum.

I finally had some time to play today! Christmas cards time. This one is using the Merry Wreath stamp set. I popped up the center sentiment and the bow. Just used some inks from GinaK and some Nuvo drops. I gold embossed the bow and the sentiment. I also used some gold Perfect Pearls for the some splatter. I do like the result.

I had this heart on my craft table from a few weeks ago and had not used it. Today I did. My brother has to have knee replacement surgery so I made this card for him. This was also after watching a video this time by Kristina Werner, I did change it up a bit and I think I added a tad too many gold drops. I did use her blending ideas and a strip along the side. She is amazing and I always enjoy watching her videos.
Thank you,

I had a wonderful Sunday watching some YouTube videos and made a few more cards. This card was made after watching Cathy Zeilske make a card like this. I did not have her great sentiments (it is on my wish list) but found something that I could use and I always need birthday cards. The ink blending was fun and I liked the white space below it.

I managed to get a third card done today, amazing but don't ask me if I got my Saturday chores done! This card totally did not go well, however I was able to salvage it into a presentable card. I had watched a couple of videos with the Festive Flower stamp set and wanted to pull out my colored pencils for the first time in quite a while - and it showed. I really struggled with this. The video showed it on a gray cardstock - I didn't have any so I went with the Kraft. The gold embossing didn't show up as well as I would have liked, in fact the sentiment that was on the bottom could hardly be read. Therefore I cut that off and found my Holiday Seals (the Stamping Village) and used that instead. Card saved! Not my favorite but that is the way it goes sometimes.

I finished another card using the same technique as the last card with the Flora stamp from SSS and some Nuvo Shimmer Powders after watching a video from Prairie Paper and Ink. I am glad that I made 2 cards using this technique = thank Amy! I made this one a Thank You card.
Thank you,

World Card Making Day 2019 - fun with the SSS Flora stamp and some Nuvo Shimmer Powders after watching a video from Prairie Paper and Ink. This really was just a blast, it truly felt like I was playing. I think I will have to make another similar card while I have all the stuff out since I hope to craft for part of today.
Thank you for looking and check out Amy's video - great technique!
