Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques


I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!  

Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.  

This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration kit to go this month.  I share how to make it in the video and it's also part of the pre-cut kit to go as well. 

If you're interested in it please message me here by March 17th. 

Here's a link to see all of the Waves of the Ocean collection.  Heads up!  The stamp & dies bundle will be in the new catalog but the papers & gems will not!

  • Awesome fundraiser last weekend!


    Last Saturday we held a big fundraiser for two of my favorite local charitable organizations here in Minot, ND. It was an amazing success because of the many donations & volunteers. 

    I kept feeling a nudge to do this and I knew my friends & community would join in. I was thrilled with the many people that helped pull it off.

    We raised over $3400 in sales towards these charitable organizations. Woo hoo!

    We focused on baked and craft items at our sale hoping to help people with their Holiday baking & gift giving.  A local church offered us their Parish Hall to hold it.  Here are some pictures of our goods. 


    We had an amazing group of donations. We were asked by many if we would do it again next year; and I sure hope we can!  


    Here's a little information on these two organizations:

    Hairball Haven is a local feline rescue that takes in homeless kittens and cats, provide veterinary care, immunizations, spays or neuters and houses them until they find new, loving homes.  They currently have over 100 in house & in foster homes.  An average vet bill is $20,000. They're amazing and I'm so happy to help support them. My granddaughter Eliza loves to volunteer there when she's in town.  Here's a link to their FB page and donation link.   

    Matthew 25 Project is the other wonderful organization we donated to.  They are a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost. My friend Melissa started this in Minot and 1000's of people have benefited from their generousity. It's run by volunteers but they do have rent, gas and heat bills.  Here's a link to their FB page. 

    I love this time of year when everyone feels the need to give to others.

  • Kindest Gnomes ‘Fancy Feet’ card; so cool!


    We made this FUN Gnomes card at my December card clubs.  I also shared it on my Tuesday FB Live here.  

    You might ask, why is it fun?  Well the gnomes feet wiggle.  I call them 'fancy feet'.  It features the Kindest Gnomes bundle.  Unfortunately the stamp set has sold out. The dies are carrying over into January because we are getting a NEW Gnome stamp set in the Spring catalog. It will coordinate with the current Gnomes dies. See the dies here. 

    Here's what the inside of the card looks like.  I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set.  I like that this stamp set has greetings for winter or New Years. 

    Below is the back of the assembled gnome and shows how the swinging feet work.  The 'nose' is cut from a small rectangle of Blushing Bride and that oval is how you 'hang' the feet so they swing.  It's not adhered at all. This entire piece is adhered to the Designer Paper layer; it's adhered with just two Dimensionals.  

    Isn't it fun!  I hope you watch the video to see how easy this is to make.  Even if you don't have the gnomes set I'm sure you could make something else 'swing' like a greeting or other critters. 

    This card is included in one of my December card kits to go featuring the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  This kit has sold out now; but you can see others in my shop here. 

    Which one do you like better?  

    Here's the video; click on the image below to watch it.

    I don't think I shared these cards yet; they're made with the pretty Framed Florets bundle seen here.  It's part of the Fitting Florets collection.  The bundle will return in the Spring catalog in January. 


    It is currently available along with the pretty Fitting Florets designer paper.  This paper is available while supplies last or through January 4th. 

    For the card below I stamped the floral and leaf images in Black Memento ink and colored them in with Blends markers.  The colors are Fresh Freesia with Granny Apple Green. 

    The sentiment on the Black oval is heat embossed with White embossing powder.  I love the striking look of white on black! 


    The next card uses the same sentiment and more of the Framed Florets dies including the pretty leaves.

    Details:

    • The embossing folder is the Whimsical Woodland 3D seen here; it's on sale for $4 while supplies last.
    • The Cherry Cobbler frame die-cut is cut from the Festive Foils specialty paper seen here; it's also discounted from $10 to $4, while supplies last.  
    • Colors include Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, White & Cherry Cobbler. 
    • I colored the White crinkled ribbon with a Cherry Cobbler Blends marker.  I love using Blends markers to color my ribbons! 


    Here's a video where I shared multiple projects with this pretty collection.
