Happy Craftin'...

Sorry I haven't been posting... I have been creating and crafting. I have crocheted, made cards, made 3x3 cards and a gift box, made homemade stew and more.

I will post pics of my latest 2 cards here. I tried the cool new 'embossing' trick that everyone is trying out. Makes it look like pressed flowers or something. :) I like the final look! Quick and easy too! (Just waiting for my BIG SHOT to come in, so I can play with it officially instead of my 'old' Sissix die machine.)

Be blessed and happy Cre8ting!

HAPPY MARCH -- National Craft Month!!

So I figured I would try to 'CRAFT' something at least once a day for the month of March -- whether it be a Stampin' Up project, crocheting or what... so here is a quick card I made while watching BIGGEST LOSER!

The flower stamps are from 'PRINTED PETALS' (Stampin' Up!) and the sentiment stamp is from 'THREE LITTLE WORDS' (Stampin' Up). The cardstock, patterned paper and ink is all Stampin' Up too! A mix of greens and a neutral - Wild Wasabi, Old Olive and River Rock (and Basic Black for the sentiment). The ribbon is River Rock, and the patterned paper is Old Olive.

Special Technique -- Tissue paper flowers. Punch a bunch of tissue paper flowers with SU punch, and then use paper piercing tool to poke a hole in the middle. Attach a small brad, and then fluff up each layer. Using either your re-inkers, or just rubbing it against your ink pad (as I did here) adds just a hint of colouring to the edges. Super cute I think. We made tissue flowers with my Preschool class for their frames! (I will post pics of those later.)

Hope you like it -- quick and easy.

Now... back to BIGGEST LOSER!! :)

Happy Stamping!
