Manly Monday Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Green with Stars Card

Merry Christmas. This is a fatter slimline card with Basic Grey patterned paper and DCWV green opulent cardstock. I stamped this old sentiment stamp from my stash onto a Dreamweaver Stencils die cut. The jute is by Tim Holtz. The stars are the bits that fell out of a Marvy corner punch. 

Thanks for looking.

Parameters

Project- A2

Color: Forest ColorS

Element- Starts with “H”

Random -Postage stamp

The background paper is watercolor paper by Strathmore. The pattern is a sheet of rub ons that I don’t know of any other way to use them. It would be a lot of work and frustration to get a little circle out of the center.

Anyway, I inked the background with green distress ink, sprayed the paper with regular water on it and wiped it off with a paper towel. That made the white stand out in the images. 

The Hero Arts sentiment was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and the layered onto Spellbinders die cut. The little tags were part of a prize and here’s a link to Layle by Mail. 

That’s it for me. Complaining—>I have so many things to do and not enough healthy days to do them. But, I woke up this morning and that’s a win. Thanks for looking.

Sizzix Impresslits Hexagon Cut and Emboss

I used a Sizzix embossing folder on the green cardstock. I stamped and punched out a Stampin Up hexagon out of a lighter green cardstock. The hexagon fir perfectly in the largest opening. The bee stamp is also by Stampin Up. I did a sloppy fussy cut to fit in the opening. Then the next largest hexagon opened a placed the hexagon that the smallest hex provided when it cut out. That's a crazy explanation. Thanks for hanging in there with me. HAGD

Green shaker card birthday card

I’ve been nursing a few injuries, sprained ankle and bruised my butt when I fell straight down on it.  I went to sit down on a new to me walker. I was told by my ex SIL, “you have to have a walker” AKA She wanted the walker out of her house. But really she was a hero for helping by giving it to me. It was the walker’s wheels that made me fall. You could say it walked away from me. I landed right on my ass. I’m not complaining but the two injuries make it hard to craft. Here are just some facts: 1. I’m a fall risk and I can’t go downstairs. 2. I can’t give a clear answer as to where the pain is in my ass-which makes me feel like a pain in the ass. 3. I want to stand up to take the pressure off of my butt pain. However, I want to sit down because of my ankle pain. The butt pain has won that competition and I’m standing. 4. Lastly, the topic on weather or not I should go to the doctor for the ass has been a hot debate. Anyway. I brought some up some half done projects and have been able to put some things together. This is one of them. Thanks for looking.
