My husband has had the pleasure of seeing ALL of my creations. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. Now his taste in cards has changed and his expectations of my deliverables is now off the charts. So when I made him this Star Wars theme card from stamps I bought almost two years ago. I usedHe was like Meh. Boy oh boy. Now I had promised him that I will make him a different card that...
After a very busy couple of months at home prepping for our winter trek to Texas, I finally had time to work on four alternative projects for the August 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. This kit comes with a stamp set that is great for making backgrounds! Video length 17 min 24 sec.
UPDATE: I added two videos
We managed to travel 1200 miles and cross four states from Wednesday to today. Overall the terrain was the same until Utah, Hub noted that we picked the most lifeless path possible to get to Utah. Once we hit I-15 in Utah however, the landscape really brightened up. Hub was surprised when we got on I-15 and the speed limit was 80, yes 80, for EVERYONE. Wow....
This weeks color range is Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz.I have one stamp set that I have been wanting to use. I stamped it up as a background using only the leaves to keep it masculine, Then I used a gender neutral (in my opinion) die cut using a die cut I've yet to use. So far so good. I struggled with a current sentiment and think what I chose...
This was my favorite project. It was intricate, as in lots of parts to it. Even the inside was elaborate with a pocket holding a large piece of white cs to write on. All of the pieces were cut out for us, we stamped and applied everything to end up with a 3d coffee stand.
Here is my official third favorite after the Rudolph card. I like the intricacy and the extra touches that make this card look like a labor of love. It wasn't that difficult to put together, but it really comes across as a card that had alot of effort put into it. I have this stamp set on my to get list and making such a nice project with the set reminded me that I need to get it before it is...
It rained all weekend, so we stayed inside and kept warm. You would think that in 33 feet of space we would get bored but we're pretty good for a couple of days of being stuck inside. I am deep in the throes of learning YouTube. I have now updated over 50 videos 4x. If I could just NOT edit until I finished learning all I need to know I would have saved so much time! I have to say though that...
I had a great time creating three alternative cards using my Paper Pumpkin kit and the die set Card Front Builder. The leftmost and rightmost cards in the image are what the instructions have you make. All projects are A2 size. I really like this kit!

This was my second favorite project even though I did not care for the coloring aspect of this project.
The issue with the coloring was twofold. First, I was not impressed with the lack of ink colors, we were just provided brown and red. I would have liked to color the hooves and antlers a grey. The second issue for me was that shimmer white is not a watercolor paper so you have to be...
It's finally here! Watch my unboxing video which includes some footage of our trek to go get it from the post office. Video Length 6 min 30 sec
