Shoebox Tuesday

For today's project I had a pretty simple Christmas card. I precut the pierced frame and mounted on foam on the red layer, at first it was going to stay that way but it just needed something so I sprayed some sheer shimmer craft spray frost and Nuvo mica spray midnight horizon then stamped my message added the brads which I got either at Impress or at one of the shows from Outlet Eyelets & Brads. The stamping was done with VersaFine Clair nocturne and the English message is by Rubber Marbles and the one in Spanish is by Stamp A Mania

Sympathy Dog

Recently Jennifer McGuire posted about a card drive at a blog by Ricky Live Like Roo and for the first time I was able to help her cause. I love helping on card drives but only when it's blank cards with no messages on the inside, on matter what the note is I know. I work on my cards for the charity and if that is not personal enough for them that is too bad. Ricky luckily just wanted cards for Sarah so I was able to help not with a lot of cards as by the time I saw the post and due date not enough time to work on cards and mail and my stash didn't have a lot of cards of what they require

This was one of the cards I mailed them. Used dog sympathy set by Our Daily bread with VersaFine Clair nocturne ink, and stitched square dies by The Stamps of Life

Ways with Washi Tape homework Day 4

On my Washi Tape class for this day was using the big tape to create a shaker card. Alexandra used the big alphabet dies and on one of my past classes with them I had used a big die for a shaker card and of course that die seems to be my go to but didn't want to do the same so I did use the same die but made it different.

I also use the same painted fantasy washi tape from Altenew, the Y die is by MFT, the o & u are from and alphabet die I have, and the are amazing are from thanks stamp & set by HA with tuxedo black ink, the bits for the shaker are metallic gold jewels from PPP. Because the Y was too closed to the edge and was hard to add foam I decided to just drop the Y that came out of the top and the acetate is just on the top with nothing inside

Ways with Washi Tape homework Day 1

Last month I took a class with Alexandra at the Altenew Academy using washi tape. It was one class for 6 days something different each day. On the first day it was using washi tape with a modern design like the herringbone pattern so this was my take. I used Recollections washi tape, added some enamel accents black, my message is a die in a word hello by Winnie & Walter, cover with Spectrum Noir crystal clear sparkle glitter brush and then glossy accents

Paper Pumpkin

This was one of my alternative cards for the on my mind July 2019 kit. I cut my card bases in half then in half but in diagonal, used one of the foil-die cut labels and stamped my message from the kit's set with mossy meadow ink, the leave is a bountiful harvest rhinestone sticker from Michaels and the bow linen thread from the kit

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's project I made a simple card using PPP Joy coordianting die. First we used triangles stencil also by PPP with distress oxide cnadied apple and life changing blender brush applying the ink very lightly then we stamped the message which came from 3 sets the wishing you came from joy stamp & cut by HA, the happy Christmas came from blessing stamp & cut also by HA and & came from merry stamp & cut also by HA all stamped with VersaFine Clair nocturne; then we glued the letters and then we attached the brads which I got at Impress or maybe at the show can't remember was a long time ago but they're from Outlet Eyelet & Brads; the paper I used for the joy is pepeprmint stix by Crafts Etc.
