<br />
Today I have 2 cards for you. They are the same design but in two different color schemes. Please be sure to leave me a comment letting me which one you like best.<br />
<br />
I had this whole post done and I don't know what happened, but poof, it disappeared. So I won't be linking up all of the products like I normally do.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnJAAi2M4M9hnt7-xH3DOfBgMfijrDm-0DGsUnGGFrmP-anOc3pjGxHn7jhez2TKh9uY_-i5PG2quf-KdPIRi2sTSoxyq0CgreKh0h4SuJnphnACEdGJEfOxl_tmXfZjKB7bQ9ebjLG5X/s1600/I%2527ll-Always-Gray_WEB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnJAAi2M4M9hnt7-xH3DOfBgMfijrDm-0DGsUnGGFrmP-anOc3pjGxHn7jhez2TKh9uY_-i5PG2quf-KdPIRi2sTSoxyq0CgreKh0h4SuJnphnACEdGJEfOxl_tmXfZjKB7bQ9ebjLG5X/s400/I%2527ll-Always-Gray_WEB.jpg" width="346" /></a>Here is the first card and my favorite. I watercolored this adorable little elephant, the flowers and butterfly from My Favorite things Adorable Elephant stamp set on watercolor paper using Distress Ink. The little hill is from another MFT set called Ewe Are The Best. I think I will be using that stamp frequently with critters.<br />
<br />
I love how the clouds turned out. I used MFT's Stitched Cloud dies. These are great dies because they add stitching to both sides of the cut line making them really versatile. But the really cool part is what is layered on top of the polka dot papers. It's a product called Vertigo by Imagine Crafts. It's a plastic sheet that has all of these swirls in it but it is completely flat and somewhat translucent. This style is called Taffeta. It was a little tough to die cut. I had to help it separate in some places using a scissors. But honestly it wasn't a big deal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOKQSRGFkzgFlxPccbpv2tMgarOl0J8WmnI6zRpUCj-3QeLHLv3iDwFM9lI8K8v76aaGQS9uewoe2RooOb9ZRkTQ9RS45C0ZhzpxJhmv7y9cIEBegmHSEj2rjEytoEG-jcGs6-lngQBgjs/s1600/I%2527ll-Always-Tan_WEB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOKQSRGFkzgFlxPccbpv2tMgarOl0J8WmnI6zRpUCj-3QeLHLv3iDwFM9lI8K8v76aaGQS9uewoe2RooOb9ZRkTQ9RS45C0ZhzpxJhmv7y9cIEBegmHSEj2rjEytoEG-jcGs6-lngQBgjs/s400/I%2527ll-Always-Tan_WEB.jpg" width="342" /></a>On both cards I stenciled hearts on the background paper using Simon Says Stamp Falling Hearts stencil with Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste in the color Frosty Dawn. I know it's difficult to see, but this stuff is beautiful. It reflects the colors beneath it wonderfully.<br />
<br />
I finished up with some Wink of Stella on the tan card and Spectrum Sparkle on the gray card, some rhinestones and little confetti hearts that I colored with my Copic markers so they would match the sentiment.<br />
<br />
I created a video comparing Wink of Stella and the new Spectrum Noir Sparkle brush pens. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvCPnqCFEaQ" target="_blank">You can view the video here</a>. It's my first video and I was a tad over enthusiastic, LOL.<br />
<br />
That's all for me today. I hope you enjoy your Valentine's Day!<br />

<br />
Today I stepped way outside of my comfort zone in several ways. This card was inspired by a card made by Julie Altermann. Here is a <a href="http://just-one-more-card.com/2016/01/lets-celebrate-pretty-pink-posh-turns-2/" target="_blank">link</a> to the card & video that inspired me. Let's get right into the card, shall we?<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
There are many firsts in this card for me.<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFvfg3KOYv8VHCV2zDHT3T1nTijiwY-wmFm_YWS5BFZ18USQfOPPh0MgqT3em6NBTJAM_3m77y5hVegXPJa92nCWxP0gIiNICHxChq3uf7zM5VnHjICnlQBkf3eOhC-mk4m_z7kwWSoK4C/s1600/Amazing-Chemistry_WEB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFvfg3KOYv8VHCV2zDHT3T1nTijiwY-wmFm_YWS5BFZ18USQfOPPh0MgqT3em6NBTJAM_3m77y5hVegXPJa92nCWxP0gIiNICHxChq3uf7zM5VnHjICnlQBkf3eOhC-mk4m_z7kwWSoK4C/s400/Amazing-Chemistry_WEB.jpg" width="330" /></a>
<li>First time using kraft cardstock for coloring.</li>
<li>First time using colored pencils for coloring an image.</li>
<li>First time (and maybe my last) doing complicated masking.</li>
<li>First time using my Brother ScanNCut 2 that I got for Christmas. (I spent time learning the software, watching video's, and practiced a little.)</li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm kind of a geek so this adorable stamp set from Paper Smooches called Great Chemistry is right up my alley. The crazy scientist is suppose to hold one of many props. I choose the mouse which he obviously has experimented on and fallen head over beakers for it. LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I created this for the <a href="http://papersmooches.blogspot.com/2016/01/january-challenge-4-colors.html" target="_blank">Paper Smooches January Color Challenge</a> so I was limited in the color I could make the mouse. I'm not really digging the way he turned out. Partly because of the dull green color and partly because I needed to differentiate him from the hand more but when I went to outline him I accidently grabbed my Sakura Black Glaze Pen and started with the tail. As soon as I saw it I almost trashed the card. But I am trying to embrace imperfection so I soldiered on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The border was created using two stamps. A heart (not included in the set) and a molecule chain. I used my MISTI to accurately stamp it all the way around and then cut slightly inside with my Brother ScanNCut 2 cutting machine. I have owned a Silhouette for years and will still use it for many things. But I have to say this ScanNCut 2 is incredible. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The rest of the card is one layer except the matting around the outside in white then red which is hard to see in the photo with the red background. That means I had to mask. No big deal right? Just stamp what's in the foreground first, mask and move to the next layer. Well what do you do when the foreground and the background stamp are the exact same thing like in the hand surrounding the mouse? I eventually figured it out and of course in hindsight I took a very complicated route. But that just means I learned something new right?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I colored the image using Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils. Added some highlights with my white gel pen and embellished with Stickles in Christmas Red. I added some tiny clear bubbles from Papertrey Ink (currently unavailable) and then topped some of the items with glossy accents including the scientists eyes. Which I love how they turned out. I also added some sparkle by using my Sakura Stardust pen to create little dots.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you enjoyed the card today. It was fun trying new things.</div>

<br />
I figured everyone has received my Christmas card by now so I could put this up without ruining the surprise. I sent them out late because they took longer than I thought. Which is always the case isn't it? This is a very long post because I detail exactly what I did. But for your convenience I categorized things so you could just read what you wanted.<br />
<br />
Drumroll Please! TaDa<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOgnrYaq3iZMnmFgbk6VBLbctZNZ_ytxLlp46sqV9HWuEVdBNU1BCDQyjyGUiRr5IWvTvKNCTjD5Zv7No79EEAFBrPJmHvMnRvaSsWDEHU2Vm6dc3CsZR2M9chHvseep8E70djaNfusAgR/s1600/Magical-holiday_full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOgnrYaq3iZMnmFgbk6VBLbctZNZ_ytxLlp46sqV9HWuEVdBNU1BCDQyjyGUiRr5IWvTvKNCTjD5Zv7No79EEAFBrPJmHvMnRvaSsWDEHU2Vm6dc3CsZR2M9chHvseep8E70djaNfusAgR/s640/Magical-holiday_full.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The card is on <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D123147" target="_blank">Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor card</a> stock.<br />
<br />
<b>Stamping</b><br />
I stamped snowflakes from several different stamp sets using <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D35508" target="_blank">VersaMark Ink</a> and white embossed them.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i><b>Snowflakes</b> </i>- I used <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D308128" target="_blank">Lots of Snowflakes</a> from Simon Says Stamp, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D329593" target="_blank">Snowflakes by Lia</a> from Hero Arts, and <u>Bring on the Snowflakes</u> and <u>Snowy Sayings</u> from a Catherine Pooler kit. I think they were made by Casual Fridays but they are not currently available unless you purchased Catherine's Stamp of Approval Winter Kit. They should be released sometime this year by Casual Fridays. </li>
<li><b><i>Sentiments </i></b>- The Magical Holiday sentiment on the front of the card is from the Snowy Sayings set I mentioned above. </li>
<li><b><i>Embossing Powder</i></b> - <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D61470" target="_blank">Hero Arts White Embossing Powder</a>.</li>
</ul>
I set all of the stamps up on my <a href="http://www.mysweetpetunia.com/MISTI-p/1-craft-supplies-misti-laser.htm" target="_blank">MISTI</a> at once so I could just stamp the whole front. Because it is water color card stock I stamped everything twice. Besides the slight texture watercolor card stock is thirsty by nature. I found stamping them twice gave a much smoother embossed image. It seems like all stamps aren't the exact same depth because some I had to make sure to push on individually or they would only partially stamp. Seriously, I could not live without my MISTI and if you haven't heard yet, they are coming out with a <a href="http://www.mysweetpetunia.com/MINI-MISTI-p/100-craft-supplies-misti-laser.htm" target="_blank">Mini MISTI</a> that won't take up as much table space but still fits an A2 card with a little extra room. I've linked to both Simon Says Stamp and My Sweet Petunia so you can compare pricing and because the Mini MISTI is a pre-order and not on Simon's site at this time.<br />
<br />
<b>Background</b><br />
Next I created the background using several of Distress Ink in <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D316235" target="_blank">Tumbled Glass</a>, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D316161" target="_blank">Broken China</a> and my favorite Distress color, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D316215" target="_blank">Salty Ocean</a>. But I wasn't quite getting the dark contrast I wanted. So I experimented with my other ink brands and found that Stampin Up's <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126951&dbwsdemoid=2064736" target="_blank">Pacific Point</a> is the exact same hue as Salty Ocean but just a little deeper. So I also used that.<span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: magenta;">NOTE - A dear friend of mine, Jennifer Kay is a Stampin Up demonstrator and I linked to the item in her store. If you already have a demonstrator just go to www.stampinup.com and login to your account. </span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I just pressed the Distress inks on my Tim Holtz craft mat, laying the colors approximately where I wanted them. Dipped, wiggled and picked up the card making sure the area I wanted lightest was lifted first. That way the darker inks would drip away rather than flooding my light area and ruining the effect I wanted. I dried the background with a heat gun. </li>
<li>I pounced and dried a few times to get some dots and texture. </li>
<li>I then reapplied the inks and added the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126951&dbwsdemoid=2064736" target="_blank">Pacific Point</a> ink in specific areas sparingly. I wanted it behind the words so they would show up nicely, but I also wanted to balance out the layout. I continued the pounce and dry until I was happy. There are 4 to 6 layers and in person it has great depth. </li>
<li>Next I used a partially dry baby wipe to wipe the remaining ink off of the snowflakes and sentiment. Then came the famous Tim Holtz spritz and flick technique. You spray water in your hand and them flick your fingers at the paper, leave it a minute and them blot it off and do it again until you like the texture. </li>
<li>And finally I spritzed the whole thing with <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D323224" target="_blank">Tsukineko Sheer Shimmer Spritz</a> which I love. It is extremely fine and gives a soft shimmer. </li>
</ol>
<br />
<b>Die Cutting</b><br />
All of the silver elements are die cut from <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/supplies/specialty-papers/silver-shine-card-stock" target="_blank">My Favorite Things Silver Shine Card Stock</a>. It's my favorite silver paper so far.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i style="font-weight: bold;">Watercolor Paper</i> - I used <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D313635" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamps Stitched Rectangles</a> for the watercolor paper. These dies are cool because you get a stitched line on both sides of the cut line which allows you to make cool frames. The rest of the layers I cut on my paper trimmer.</li>
<li><b><i>Slope</i></b> - For the stitched slope I used one of the slopes from <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D132492" target="_blank">Mama Elephant's Landscape Trio</a> set. It only cuts on one side of the paper so I die cut the first one and then just kept placing the cut line just below the stitches on the previous one which cut it off. I placed a piece of copy paper over them so they didn't get too many marks on it from my cutting mat. I tried cutting them by hand but just couldn't get them perfect. And you know they have to be as perfect as possible or it bothers me. </li>
<li><b><i>Santa in Sleigh</i></b> - This is a Stampin Up die from the Sleigh Ride Edgelits (it is no longer available). The sleigh actually sat on a sloping die but it wasn't stitched and it didn't fit my sentiment as nicely as the Mama Elephant one. So I cut it off it's slope and glued it on mine.</li>
<li><b><i>Snowflakes</i></b> - <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D331022" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes</a>. I love the variety of sizes. Even the little stars are from this set.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<b>Embellishments</b></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><i>Stars & Snowflake</i></b> - As mentioned above the stars were die cut using Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes.</li>
<li><i style="font-weight: bold;">Enamel Dot </i>- The dot on the snowflake are another favorite of mine, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D322790" target="_blank">Doodlebug Glitter Sprinkles</a>. I didn't have enough of the blue Sprinkles so on some I used <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=322808" target="_blank">Lily White</a> which was also very pretty. </li>
</ul>
<b>Assembly</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><i>Layers </i></b>- I used <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D52037" target="_blank">Tombow Mono Multi adhesive</a> on the card stocks. On the water color paper I went around the outside with <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D96986" target="_blank">Be Creative Double Sided Tape</a> (also known as Sookwang) and added some to the middle also. Then a little Tombow around the center area.</li>
<li><b><i>Embellishments </i></b>- <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D68725" target="_blank">Ranger Multi Medium Matte</a> but I use a <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D312958" target="_blank">precision tip from Quilled Creations</a> on it. Just pop the little spout out of the Ranger bottle and screw this on. I don't draw my glue on die cuts and embellishments, I just dot it. </li>
</ul>

<b>Inside of Card</b> - I usually don't do anything fancy on the inside of the card but I had this slice of the watercolor background left from cutting it down and thought I would use it.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><i>Stamp </i></b>- For the inside I used a sentiment from <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D308090" target="_blank">Inside Holiday Greetings by Simon Says Stamp</a>.</li>
<li><b><i>Snowflake </i></b>- Lawn Fawn set mentioned above and linked below.</li>
<li><b><i>Embossing Powder</i></b> - <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D301165" target="_blank">Ranger Super Fine Silver Embossing Powder</a>.</li>
</ul>
The back just had a little "Hand Stamped by" stamp and I signed my name. On the envelop I stamped a cluster of snowflakes by the address label.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Tips </i></b>- Here are some things I learned from making this project.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Dies and stamps from different manufacturers are not the same depth. I did a whole bunch of die cutting with all of the dies on the silver card stock at once only to have to repeat this separating the dies by set because each time some of them didn't cut through all the way but others were cut clean through.</li>
<li>When die cutting with a foil type card stock make your sandwich the minimum it needs to cut all the way through. If you shim it then the little circles on the die that are used to poke out the paper to release it, make an impression and it is difficult to remove them without dulling the shine of the paper or leaving marks. Lightly pressing with my Teflon Bone Folder helped. But even this will change the surface of this type of paper if you don't take care.</li>
<li>When possible use Tombow Mono Multi glue to adhere layers so you have a minute to move it around. When I used Score Tape, I also added Tombow to it. I keep the score tape on one corner (usually top left) and that is where I can hold it down for aligning. In the middle I remove the tape completely. But on the edges I only pull back about an inch and them fold it over so it is sticking off the edge of layer. When I set the card down it is floating on the Tombow so I can move it around some. When it is where I want it I push down on the center area where there is Score Tape. Now I just have to slowly pull off the tabs hanging out from the Score Tape that was around the outside. All the while I am anchored in 2 places. The center because of the Score Tape. And the top left corner because I am holding it. The glue is in the center so it never squirts out.</li>
<li>When adhering die cuts I often set an acrylic block on top to hold it down for a minute. But even Multi Matte Medium will make a mess on metallic cardstock. It dulls it. If you try to erase it you make a bigger mess. There are 2 issues here. </li>
<ol>
<li>How did the adhesive get on the top of the embellishment? <br />I found it was getting on the top of my embellishments not from my hands, (I actually wore a glove so no oil would mess up the silver paper.) but from my acrylic block. Once I set it on one, a small amount of glue would seep out and them I'd move the block to another card and it would just place small amounts of glue down. This drove me nuts before I figured it out. DUH! </li>
<li>How to salvage it when it happens.<br />The best solution was <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D316354" target="_blank">The Absorber Towel</a> just damp with water. If done right away it worked great and didn't mar or dull the shine of the card stock. (an Absorber is like a chamois that you use on your car.</li>
</ol>
<li>I didn't want any stray embossing powder. After some experimenting I discovered you will have almost perfect release every time if you take the powder out of your tool (I use the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D53175" target="_blank">EK Success Powder Tool</a>) and I brushed it on with a soft brush (I used the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1185450&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D305729" target="_blank">Perfect Pearls brush</a>.). The difference was amazing it left no streaks on the page and was much faster. I've heard some people use cornstarch or baby powder. After the embossing powder cooled I gave it a quick wipe with an old glitter brush I had, but a <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=338166" target="_blank">Swiffer Magic Clean Up Cloths</a> (which I cut into small pieces) also works.</li>
<li>When securing enamel dots when the card will be shipped, I put a small dot of glue in the center and when I push it down the adhesive on the back holds it in place. But that dot of Multi Matte Medium keeps it in place.</li>
<li>These cards weighed .9 ounces and were delivered just fine with 1 stamp.</li>
</ul>
OMG I think this is the world's longest blog post. I really have to work on making videos. If your still with me, you are either bored or as crazy as I am for writing this. But seriously I hope the added detail helps you. I wish more bloggers would put tips and what they learned from the project. Now I have to go spend several hours finding all of the product links and getting everything uploaded.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Sorry I have been absent on my blog. I had some minor
surgery that took longer than expected to recover from. Then it was Christmas, then New Year... Blah Blah Blah. I’m here now. That’s what counts right? And I have an adorable card
to share with you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My Favorite Things had a new release yesterday and I placed
a big order. Since I don’t have the new products yet I thought I would
share something from their last release. FYI Pretty Pink Posh also had a new release as well as several others. I'm thinking of creating a new release page where you can see new product for my favorite companies. What do you think of this idea? Let me know in the comments.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I absolutely LOVE this stamp set. It’s called Toasty Greetings and is full of cute snowmen and penguins cooking up s’mores. I thought I would
mix it up and do some Copic coloring and I have to say I probably won’t use
Copics for a full background again. I’m sure it emptied my marker and it is so
much more work than water coloring a background. But I love how the little
snowman and penguin turned out.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
When you are roasting marshmallows do they catch on fire?
Mine always do and so did this poor little penguins. Just look at his cute face. I created the marshmallows with the Marvy Snow Marker. You dab it
on and then heat it with your heat gun and it poofs up. To really make it look
like a marshmallow I dabbed it with my Copics until they were the color I
wanted being sure the texture still showed. Gives me a hankerin’ for
marshmallows. Well, not the burnt ones.</div>

The fire pit comes in the stamp set and I created the smoke
and additional flames with the Copics. I love how the reflection of the fire
turned out. For the cover piece I stamped a piece of Hero Arts Kraft paper using the Hero Arts
wood grain background stamp by Lia Griffith and then cut it with MFT’s Stitched
Cover-Up Companion – Horizontal.<o:p></o:p></div>

I think this card could be used for any event all winter
long.<o:p></o:p></div>

Cards I made this year. I was late getting them done too. <o:p></o:p></div>

One other note. I am now a Simon Says Stamp Affiliate (happy dance). So I would super duper appreciate it if you like what my cards that you please click the links I provide or click the Simon Says Stamp Banner at the top of the page whenever you plan on shopping.

<div class="MsoNormal">
And a New Year’s card was born. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I mentioned before that I suck at sketch challenges. I’m kind
of a rule follower so deviating is hard. And starting out with a completed card
and then trying to fill it in works in opposition to my creative mojo.
But trying new things is how we become better designers. So I soldiered on with
<a href="http://www.cardchallenges.com/2015/10/wednesday-sketch-challenge-sketch-251.html" target="_blank">MFT Sketch #251</a>. I’m still miffed that I missed last weeks because I didn’t
post on time. (Deep breath, let it go…).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So where was I? Oh, yes, an elf holding a glass of
champagne. After going through my stash of MFT products I found everything I
needed including a champagne glass which I did have to trim down a bit.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The gold background is colored with Lindy’s Stamp Gang
Golden Sleigh Bells Magicals from the Jingle Bells collection. I used some
distress ink techniques to get the background looking blotchy and cool. It's hard to tell but it is beautiful and shimmery. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I colored the elf using the same Lindy’s Magical color and
for the black I used the Wink of Stella Black Glitter Brush Pen and water to pull out the color. I really like
how it turned out. The sparkle stayed in the depths. I was going to do some doodling and add a bow tie but felt
the little elf dude looked pretty sophisticated just like he was in his cute little turtleneck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I stamped all of the black accents and words with Simon Says
Stamp black ink. I am really liking this ink. It gives a great crisp impression
every time. I created the tag the old fashioned way, meaning no die. LOL and
stamped it with a sentiment from MFT’s Hand Lettered Holiday set.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The checkboard was created using MFT’s Fine Check Background.
First I stamped in Brilliance Gold Ink, then VersaMark Dazzle Champagne Ink,
then embossed with Lindy’s Stamp Gang Sunrise Salmon Gold.<br />

Check out this background texture! It looks like fabric. That
was created with the Spellbinders Fabric Weave Embossing Folder. It is
absolutely gorgeous on this black paper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I finished up with some glitter enamel dots from my stash, a
piece of Pretty Pink Posh ribbon and some Glossy Accents on the buttons, the
bell, and to create bubbles floating up from the Champagne. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
I’ve been a little under the weather so I missed posting on Monday. I probably won’t be posting 3 times a week as I won’t be able to keep up with that and trying to keep my craft room from blowing up. Seriously, it is sooooo trashed right now!<br />
<br />
I stopped at Hobby Lobby to pick up a few Christmas picks for card photos and came across the cutest paper pad by The Paper Studio. I don’t use a lot of patterned paper and I have a ton of of it. But I had to have this pad. The charcoal black background in many of the sheets is so cool. I couldn't link to it because it wasn't on Hobby Lobby's site.<br />
<br />
I created this card based on a My Favorited Things Sketch Challenge #250 but just now realized I missed the deadline. Darn It! Maybe I’ll use that same pad to make one for next weeks challenge. ):<br />
<br />
You guys need to let me know how much detail you want me to go into on how I made the card. I really don't want to bore you with long posts.<br />
<br />

I stamped the adorable dancing Santa from MFT's Jingle All The Way stamp set on watercolor paper and colored with Distress inks. I did not do the no line technique because I felt he really needed the black outline.<br />
<br />
I stamped the sentiment from that same stamp set onto 40# vellum and attached it to the tag which I die cut using the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 3 die and then created the banner bottom with a die set called Fishtail Banner Dies from a new company named Sunny Studio. I did a whole lot of die cutting and fussy cutting on this card.<br />

<close><br /></close>
<close><br /></close>
<close><br /></close>
<close><br /></close>
To finish it off I added the ribbon bow and bell, sequins, snowflake confetti, Wink of Stella, and some glossy accents to the belt, boots, and thin inset black border.<br />
<close><br /></close>
<close>I really like how this turned out. It is so unusual because of the coloring. I hope you enjoy it too! </close><br />
<br />
<close>I'll leave you with a close up of the Santa because he makes me smile!</close><br />

Hi Everyone!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did you ever have one of those cards that took an eternity
to complete? By the time you finished your not even sure you like it
anymore? I stared at it for 3 whole days!!!!! Yep, I
started this baby on Wednesday and just finished it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hopefully others will
look at it and love it. But right now, I just want it off my craft desk so I can get on with my life! Okay, maybe it isn’t that bad. But I seriously stressed
over it. It's another no line coloring using Distress Inks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here it is. I hope you like it.<o:p></o:p></div>

I really do love how the birds turned out. It was making it
into a card that really messed me up. Thanks to my puppies needing to eat lunch
I took a much needed break and watched some video’s. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All I can say is thank you Kristina Werner!!!! She made a round card
today and I knew that was how I was going to finish it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I told all of the other voices in my head to shut up because
a decision has finally been made. Surprisingly they listened until I stamped
the sentiment too high on the card and we started all over again on how to fill
the empty space. LOL<o:p></o:p></div>

I have a special card today for a very
special person. I think we all have someone we have known forever and don’t
always keep in close touch with. But when you are together or talk on the
phone, it’s like nothing has changed. They have been through everything with
you. And they remember you the way you wish others knew you, young and full of
life. Jean is my somebody. <o:p></o:p></div>

When we were in school she was in jazz dance and I would
laugh whenever she did jazz hands in a routine. When I saw this little gnome
from My Favorite Things stamp set called “You Gnome Me”. I thought of her.
Because of his little jazz hands, because she “gnomes” me, and she
thinks puns are funny. The real trick is
going to be to get it to her by her birthday. I suck at getting cards out on
time!<o:p></o:p><br />

This is another no line colored image. The gorgeous plaid
paper in the background is also from My Favorite Things as is the banner frame
die (see supply list below post). All of the coloring is done with Distress
Inks including the bow and the grass. Isn’t that little bow adorable? It’s a
die from Mama Elephant. I got it in a Basic Set but I’ll also link it
separately. I also used that Basic Set for the scallops on the plaid paper.</div>

Good Monday Morning!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today I’m posting my first Christmas card of the season. I
am using the adorable Peeking Friends stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs.
This is the same stamp set I used for the <a href="http://tammymohr.blogspot.com/2015/10/since-this-is-my-first-blog-post-and-i.html" target="_blank">Fox card</a> I made last week. Both
images were water colored on Strathmore Hot Press watercolor paper.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2MzzXz0DglTKL-WfefKxZiIY8AsBxOLYaQkcwauh3QDxuIG12o62KqFWsqXPDnYevcSVgos-7grLIYXOLq4qIg-8HgeG0Edoi0D61xdSVfdQhqd5elCdNRWKeyPQIcnRE0BKu2u9t8iM/s1600/Penguin_Full-Card-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2MzzXz0DglTKL-WfefKxZiIY8AsBxOLYaQkcwauh3QDxuIG12o62KqFWsqXPDnYevcSVgos-7grLIYXOLq4qIg-8HgeG0Edoi0D61xdSVfdQhqd5elCdNRWKeyPQIcnRE0BKu2u9t8iM/s400/Penguin_Full-Card-2.jpg" width="383" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I colored the penguin using Distress Inks and the No Line
Coloring Method which I seem to be addicted to lately. My other addiction is
shaker cards and for this one I used the Stitched Banner Duo 2 die from Pretty
Pink Posh. I filled it with a bunch of confetti, seed beads and of course
Pretty Pink Posh sequins that I mixed together myself.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I kept everything in a red and white theme to match this fun
background paper from Papertrey Ink Sparkle & Shine Paper Collection. I
used the matching stamp set to add the star bursts to the tag. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The greeting is from a set called Merry Greetings from Mama
Elephant. How cool is that font? Add a
black Chevron ribbon, a couple of rhinestones, some Wink of Stella Clear and tada… A penguin holiday card
fit for anyone on your holiday list. And if you did it in a different color
scheme and popped a different hat on the penguin it could be a card for just about

Hey There!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today’s card was a struggle but in the end I absolutely love
the card. I hope you do t</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started 3 or 4 cards over the last week using <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=328707" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn’s Booyah</a>
stamp set. It is so cute. But I didn’t finish any of them. Each day I’d end up
setting the stamps aside and moving on to something else. Then last night it
hit me. Ghosts should be transparent. I wanted to make my little spooks so the
background color would show through them, but I didn’t want to use vellum. So I
started playing. I tried multiple things and several products for both the
background and the ghostly image. <o:p></o:p></div>

Here is what worked for me:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I created the watercolor background using Distress Ink on
Strathmore watercolor paper. I stamped the images using Stampin Up Whisper
White Craft Ink. Blended it out using a water brush. I wanted the light source
to be from the center top so I attempted to give that impression based on how
much white I placed. I then mixed up some <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=305864" target="_blank">Kuretake Gansai Tambi</a> watercolor in
Silver #95 with some <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=60575" target="_blank">Perfect Pearls</a> and applied that sparingly. Once dry
I added their personality via a cute little face. I used white gel
pens to tidy it up a bit. I used Signo on the faces because it is more opaque
and Gelly Roll for accents around the edge because it is more transparent and
has smaller tip. I also want to mention the sequins and the awesome <a href="http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com/Ruffle-Ribbon-Olive-p/ruffle_olive.htm" target="_blank">green ribbon</a> is from Pretty Pink Posh. I really like how they turned out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I used a ton of supplies on this card. Until I can get a link program set up it is just too time consuming for me to list them all. If you have any questions please leave a comment. Hopefully I can get the linking stuff set up this weekend.</div>

Hi everybody!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today’s card is a fun one. Every year I get Halloween stamps
and then never find the time to make cards with them. When I saw this little
Frankenstein from The Alley Way Stamps I had to fit it in.<o:p></o:p></div>

So Frankie is done in
the No Line Watercolor style using Distress Inks. I had a bit of trouble
getting those tiny little fingers to look right. But now I think he looks like he is
dancing. Isn’t he cute?</div>

I created the lines on his pants by gently scraping the watercolor paper (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-140305-140-Pound-25-Sheet-Watercolor/dp/B004WFUGIA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1444331231&sr=8-2&keywords=strathmore+hot+press+watercolor+paper" target="_blank">Strathmore hot press</a>) with the sharp tip of my Pick-Me-Up tool. Then added another wash of color and it collects in the lines. So much easier than trying to paint them on.</div>

Since this is my first blog post and I have no idea what I'm doing I will be very surprised if anyone besides me and maybe my friend Jenny will actually see this post. But here is to new adventures!<br />
<br />
I created a card I would like to share. I'm not sure if I'll figure out how to link products or do anything except type. Now to upload the picture...<br />

Woo Hoo, I did it. Ok, now for the deets.<br />
<br />
This was my first attempt at no line watercoloring using distress inks. I loved how it turned out. Here is a close up of the fox:<br />

<br />
<br />
The adorable fox stamp is from a set by Gerda Steiner called <a href="http://gerdasteinerdesigns.com/clearstamps/peeking-friends-4x6-clearstamp-set"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b><i>Peeking Friends</i></b></span></a>.<br />
The acorn and leaves are from a set by Sugar Pea Designs called <a href="http://www.sugarpeadesigns.com/product/nuts-about-you"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b><i>Nuts About You</i></b></span></a>.<br />
The dies are various dies from Lawn Fawn and the awesome <a href="http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com/mobile/product.aspx?ProductCode=dc19&404;http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com:80/Storybook1-p/dc19.htm="><b><i><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Storybook 1</span></i></b></a> die from Pretty Pink Posh.<br />
<br />
Well, that's it. My very first post. If I like blogging I will improve the appearance and hopefully make it a place you want to visit again.<br />
<br />
If anyone who reads this has a recommendation for someone who can make this blog look snazzy on a budget please leave me a comment.<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting.<br />
