Rejoice For He Has Risen

 

Hello and welcome. I am sharing a card with you done with some new stamps

and dies from The Greetery's new release. 

The basic nest die was cut from white and inked with several oxide inks.

I added the tiny flowers and some leaves. from The Baby Face Orange set. 

The nest is backed with brown for depth, and placed on top of Big Branches

Ruscus,  also inked. All placed on the Patchwork die, stamped with Spring

Meadow Background.

Rejoice stamp onto a Tear Strip Tag. 

Closeup of the nest and eggs.  A symbol of new beginnings! 

Happy Easter my friends!

25 Days Christmas Tags: Day 1

It's holiday time, and time for 25 Days of Christmas Tags. Tracey McNeely hosts

a jolly blog hop each year, 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 - Day1, complete with

fabulous inspiration, guest designers and prizes.

I'm posting Day 1 on Day 2 with inspiration from Carol Mayne.

Carol's darling tags used Oxide Inks, and penguins on a scallop tag.

Tracey featured Sunny Studios on her blog for Day 1. 

I used PTI's Tremendous Treats: Christmas for my penguin, reindeer and Santa tags.

Love this time of year and Tracey for hosting a blog hop I look forward to 

every year!

 

A Banner of Thanks

During the holidays, Altenew sent me a lovely thank you card along with a stamp set

called Best Sentiments. With the card and stamps came the challenge to create with

the stamps and post the creation on social media. Couldn't resist making this banner

card using images from several Altenew sets.

It's been a long time since I've made a long ways card (is there a better word?) and I

wanted to use all the sentiments in the set. 

Can't get enough of using the Greetery's amazing die cut bow. It seems to add 

a lovely touch to every card I make.

Stamps used: All Altenew

Garden Treasure

Bamboo Rose

Majestic Bloom

Coffee Love 

Beautiful Day

Still putting Christmas away... seems to take longer each year!

Hugs!

Anniversary Card

Happy New Year! 

I have an anniversary card to share with you. My daughter and my SIL are 

celebrating a winter anniversary, and I just recently got the Greetery's

Inside & Out Berry Branch. They sold out, and I was so happy Betsy restocked

it so soon.

I really wanted to keep the feel of winter with the elements and color,

so kraft and grey was where I started. 

The gorgeous bow was another late purchase (also sold out until recently),

and I doubled it with pale pink underneath the red.

The sentiment is a combo of 2 sets, Just Mason Around and Bountiful Wreath.

I love the loose script on the blessings, not to mention I LOVE including the

word Blessings to any card!

Have you had a chance to use any of the Greetery's new sets? They glam up

a card front like no other! Love the new frame too!

Blessings to you in the new year! 

And welcome 2020!

New Every Morning

Hi everyone!

This week's Make it Monday is with Dawn McVey, who show's us how to layer 

images over patterns. Say the word, 'layer', and I love it! 

Dawn demonstrated her layering magic with 3 bg inks, which gives the image a 

different look each time.

Once your stamps are in place in the Misti, it really is easy to do 3 cards.

1st off is this one with snow ink and and Dawn's Cover Up: Hexagons stamp.

I used Dawn's Raspberry Suite sets, combining the floral sets with Cup of Cheer,

a Christmas set I gave a seasonless look to with Gran's Garden & Garden Party.

2nd card's Hexagon stamped with Cocoa Bean.

The tag and card bases were cut from Noted Pinked A2 Vertical Dies.

To give my cup and coffee pot some dimension, I edged them with copics,

G40 & G43, almost a perfect match to Vintage Jadeite.

And the 3rd card inked with a Versa Magic ink called Pumpkin Spice.

Have fun playing along on PTI's blog where you'll find Dawn's video.

All stamps used are from PapertreyInk and if you click on the ones you

like, it'll take you directly to the PTI store. 

Happy Crafting!
