If there's no wind, row

 

Good day! It is almost the end of 2021 and I say, good riddance! Some good things DID happen this year but I am looking forward to a clean slate.

Speaking of clean slate, I can't even tell you how many pics I took of this creation. Glitter, dust and who knows what wanted their time in this pic!

I had so much fun using the A Colorful Life Designs cloud stencil. I used lots of colors; so saffron, pink, broken china, faded jeans, salty ocean and black.

This image is called Row and the sentiment is actually attached to it at the bottom. I absolutely love this stamp and the possibilities that go with it! I masked to use a combo of faded jeans and salty ocean for the water. The only dimension is the sentiment which I die cut.

If My Mouth Doesn't Say It...

 Hello! Today's card was created using the "My Mouth" Stamp (SD1059) from Technique Junkies: https://techniquejunkies.com/my-mouth/

To create this card I heat embossed the stamp onto a piece of cream colored card stock using Versafine Watermark Ink and black embossing powder. I then cut the embossed image with a square stitched rectangle die. I created a mat layer with black card stock and adhered the sentiment square to a piece of black card stock. Next, I had a piece of patterned paper in my stash with ladies who have sassy facial expressions. I thought their facial expressions matched the saying on the stamp. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the pattern paper, then layered a piece of cream colored card stock under the pattern paper. I adhered everything to a black A2 card panel.        

You can find lots of fun, snarky sentiment stamps at Technique Junkies: www.techniquejunkies.com

Bah Humbug

 

Hi folks!  I hope you all had a nice Christmas, contrary to what you may think looking at this card.  DH always jokes he is a scrooge at Christmas and often uses "Bah Humbug" so what would be more fitting for 8 of his co-workers at Christmas time than Bah Humbug. LOL.  That's ok though, because I sweetened things up by baking individual mini rum cakes which were handed out with these cards.  Last year he passed out store bought cards and his co-workers were asking where the handmade ones were.

I made over 60 Christmas cards this year, and I'll aim for 60 again this year.  Yes, I'm already working on Christmas cards for December.  Crazy?  Not when one is a "planner."  I'm someone who needs to plan everything out.  Springing surprises makes me become discombobulated.  Just ask DH.

Card Deets

1.  Cut green cardstock at 4" x 5 1/4"
2.  Using a dark green ink, ink up the edges over the green cardstock.  Soften the corners by inking colour more in a round shape as you can see in this photo.
3.  Let dry completely to prevent embossing powder from sticking.  I air dried overnight, but you can use a heat gun.
4.  Cover entire surface with an embossing buddy.
5.  Using VersaMark, stamp over your Delicate Snowflake stamp.  Sprinkle with white embossing powder.  Heat set.
6.  Stamp out Bah Humbug out and colour.
7.  Die cut Bah Humbug image with a circular die.
8.  Adhere image to background, using pop dots for added dimension.
9.  Adhere green cardstock to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card.

 

Split Panel Poinsettia Card

 

 

Each panel is the same size - 1 3/4 inches by 5 inches and layered on a slightly larger red panel.  The poinsettia petals are cut from the same die and staggered as they were adhered.  The verse is from Light of Faith, Set of 4.

Any Technique Junkies purchase, not already on sale, will be able to have 10% off when you use TJ10Judy in the coupon box when you check out! 

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas season!  Be sure to get inky during this season!  Look for new stamps on January 1, 2022!!
