Cherished Cards

IMG_5003 IMG_5005

My oh my! What a week it has been! I haven’t been able to blog as I’ve wanted to. There was a bash for my Mom’s 60th to prep for, some special projects I’ve been working on, plus… I often blog my laptop as opposed to our desktop, but the laptop doesn’t take SD cards… so without photos, I couldn’t post! Sometimes it’s too hard to get upstairs where the main computer is…kids, stairs and all, ya know??? Anywho, I wanted to share these two fantastic cards with you. As a crafter, I am always making cards for people, but I don’t often receive them. So, when I do… I am thrilled! And when I unexpectedly found these two cards in my mailbox, I was so happily surprised! The card on top is from my friend Tina who is sadly (for me) moving to Texas, like, as I write this. She sent me this hot little number to congratulate me on becoming a Twilight Tuesday Guest Designer (gosh, it NEVER gets old typing that!). So nice of her huh? She put a whole lotta work into this baby and I just love it. It is currently standing proud atop my wall unit in my living room. The second card I got just last week from one of my fellow Twilight Tuesday Designers, Julie. I had won one of her super cool blog candy prizes (http://www.starsfallscreations.com)she/ not only sent me a great set of alpha stamps (which I cannot wait to crack open!) but I also got this beautiful card! This card is layered, sparkly, and lovely. Her craftsmanship is exquisite. My photos don’t do these cards justice. So, ladies, THANK YOU for your handmade creations. I will cherish them always.

PS: Shhh!!! Guess what? I have a secret! Actually, it's not just me... but TTIC itself! MAKE SURE you stop by http://www.twilighttuesday.com tomorrow!!!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Hop

This is a very exciting week for the Stampendous team! We are hanging out with the ultra cool Deco Art Mixed Media team, each using each other's products to share some incredible creations with you. These companies go hand in hand, so using each other's products is easy. And the results are amazing. We are of course featuring Andy Skinner's stamps, who is the DecoArt International Education Coordinator.  And yup, there are prizes! But I want you to go to the Stampendous Blog for all of that info. The link is at the bottom of the post. Now, on to my project. I made a cool wall hanging today. I started off with a piece of MDF and I drilled 2 holes, and covered it with DecoArt's white Gesso. After it dried, I used Andy's Alcohol and Media fluid Acrylics Layering Technique. You can check out his how-to video HERE . Needless to say, it's a great technique, and I loved doing it. Once I finished with the aforementioned technique, I sealed the piece w
