Exciting News (to me at least)

Just thought I'd pop in to say that I have

EXCITING NEWS!!!!

 

I was asked to be one of the 

Dirty Dozen Design Team members for

Splitcoaststampers.com! What an honor! 

My term runs March-August 2023

and my DDDT work will only be shared on

that site for Fan Club Members to see. 

I am excited to create, share and learn

with the other members =)

Yes, I signed off from blogging over a year ago,

but I continue to create things for my personal

use as well as for Creative Team projects.

I have shared many of my projects at

Splitcoaststampers.com and Gingerscraps.com

rather than on the blog. It is easier and 

I think that most people looking for 

inspiration frequent those galleries

(or the various social media sites nowadays).

Best of wishes and happy crafting!

   2023

Signing Off

It's the end of 2021 and to my blogging.

It's been fun working with the various design teams

and entering blog challenges over these last 12 years.

Thank you for the kind comments.

Here's to a happy, healthy 2022 and beyond!

 

Assorted Cards

Miscellaneous cards I made this month that 
are not Christmas cards.  

Thanks for looking =)

                                       This is a copy from a sample I saved some time ago

Poinsettia Diecuts Cards

 Paper Layering Poinsettia dies by Hero Arts

make it easy to create pretty accents! 

All sorts of other dies, stamps, papers

and embossing folders 

from various manufacturers.

Thanks for looking =) 

Frosted Medallions Cards

 

All supplies used came from Stampin' Up!,

various stamp and die sets.

The main medallion image is from Frosted Medallions.

Thanks for looking =) 

Snow Is Glistening Cards

I used glitter paper for the diecut snowflakes

(Snow Is Glistening set by Stampin' Up!)

on these fairly simple cards.

The red bottom portion of the card on the right

was embossed with a snowflake folder.

The blue card is textured.

Rhinestone and pearl accents.

Thanks for looking =) 

 

Snowman Season cards

Snowman Season stamps,

 paper punches and dies

from Stampin' Up!

The striped paper on the card on the right I made

myself with the old Plaidmaker stencil by SU!

Inspired by samples I came across. 

Thanks for looking =) 

 

Christmas Gnome Cards

I have no idea the name or manufacturer of these gnome images.

I believe they are cheap knockoffs.

They were part of a bundle I bought secondhand.

There are no markings on them. The stamps are STUCK

to the clear plastic sheet, the matching dies don't line

up properly with some of the images and they don't stamp well 

which is why I think they are cheap imitations. 

I made the best of it and made these three cards, 

adding words from other stamp sets and shimmery 

snowflake "glitter" pieces (Michael's/Recollections).

Thanks for looking =)

 

Merry Christmas
