Heat Embossed Santa Card

The Santa stamp is by Inkadinkaso. Then I ink the background with distress ink. It was so boring so I cat it up after I added washi tape cut with decorative scissors. The sentiment is a rub on by Making Memories. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge-stamp it

Floral Friday Alcohol Inks and Sunflower Card

I made this background with alcohol inks. This lovely sunflower found its way onto my desk and it matched the paper just beautifully. I added Stickles to random areas of the flower to give it some sparkle. I had some rub-ons of a straight stitch in the yellow-orange color.

 The last thing I did was glue on the “happy” sentiment die cut by Clearly Besotted and when I was doing that the glue got all over the letters. To fix it, I brushed gold Perfect Pearls over the letters.

The flower stamp is by Stampendous. They went out of business in September of 2022, Please correct me if I’m wrong. 

Why is this important? I’m going to tell you. I purchased the dies because they were less than a dollar. I was going to look around for the matching stamps. It never occurred to me that the company would go out of business and I wouldn’t be able to get them anymore. Having the dies was a bit pointless until a friend shared with me to color copy the images on the package to use with the dies. I didn’t know you could do that after the company went out of business. Kick butt!

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Just a Note Grey

The patterned paper under the die is by GCD. It’s the back side of Halloween paper. The sentiment die cut is by Creative Expressions. I heavily ink the edges with shaded spruce distress ink and then added the black stitched lines which are rub-ons of an unknown source. 

Thanks for looking. 

Christmas cards using the same blue Patterned

The snowmen stamp is by Stampin Up and I colored them in with Copic Markers.

This next card is what I started with but I didn’t think the red in the sentiment matched the red in the patterned paper. So I found a rub-on that matched better and changed it.

For You Tag Card

The tag on this card had antique cars on it. I painted over them with Making Memories off white paint. I put a SEI rub-on on it before setting an eyelet and adding ribbon. The rest of the card is gingham vellum I found in the stash and it's om an off white card base. Then the sentiment stickers are by Doodlebug.

Thanks for looking.
