7/9/2023 0 Comments Fab florals!These were fun to make! Another two-fer, too. I know I've shared a few cards with the "use up your glitter" technique that Jennifer McGuire shared a while back. I was on the hunt for a fun cover plate die that I could do that technique with. And I found this one: SSS Fab Floral Plate and it's coordinating SSS Fab Floral Dies. But as soon as I got it, I forgot about the glitter technique and just went for the standard blending background. I then die cut the blended background and kept the cut-out flowers for the 2nd card. After I made these cards, I was searching for something on Jennifer's blog and found a post of hers from last July, where she used these same dies! And of course, as always, I learned something from her video about these and quickly came back and applied that to my card (the one on the left - I applied a finished border around the cutout). I love how these are bright and cheery and I really do like these dies. I'm not really a fan of flower cards but this fits the modern, fun, doodle-y vibe I like so they are keepers! Next time, I'll have to actually try them with the glitter technique. HA!

6/25/2023 0 Comments Slimline cards - my first try!These are actually mini slimline cards. Their size is 3 1/2″ x 6. That's just a fun size!
I used the Gina K Designs SWIRL FLOWER MINI SLIMLINE COVER PLATE Die on white cardstock and then after the fact realized that I could have had a two-fer again. So, then I ink blended a background with purple, teal and green. Then I die cut that piece and got enough for two cards... frame on one and the inside pieces on the other. Zero waste! Well, except for the first card. LOL. On card 1, I used the "use up that glitter" technique from Jennifer McGuire. Which brings me to this... "You and 9 friends are crafting. One person uses glitter. How many projects now have glitter on them?" 6/5/2023 0 Comments 21! So Glad You Were BornMy son turns 21 today! I am so glad he was born! Here's another shaker card I made. I am really liking these. They are fun and not hard to do! And look confetti sprinkles as the shaker stuff! Ink blending over gold embossed balloons and sentiment then cut the 21 out all on a teal card (he likes green/teal!) So hard to believe he's 21. I love the young man he has become. Happy birthday, son! I volunteer at my kid's high school and work a lot with the admin including the principal, academy director, assistant principals, counselors and office staff. One of my favorite people, our academy director, retired this year. I will surely miss him and his laid back, carefree attitude. Everything he did, he did for the kids but he did it with humor, music and coffee! There was always classic rock playing around him and he always had a coffee in his hand. I wish him all the coffee he can imbibe in retirement and hope he keeps playing that music all day long.
