Select Your Greeting Swap Card using Tiled Techniques

 Rounding out swaps from January, Stacey made this card using the Tiled Techniques stamp set in various colours to complement the free Sale-a-Bration paper layer behind it. Looks like a greeting is missing, right? That was her plan...to give us a card we could customize as needed. I like that Stacey took that into consideration for us! If like me you keep a batch of stamped greetings around "just in case"...then you'll be all set to pair it up with cards like this.

Stinkin' Cute Darling Dinos Birthday Card

 So stinkin' cute birthday card for anyone featuring the Darling Dinos bundle. This card was made by Laurie on my team for our monthly card stwap. Before embossing, she randomly stamped the Fresh Freesia layer then used the Starstruck embossing folder for loads of amazing dimension. Simple, sweet, card for the little dinosaur in your life!

Blending Brushes + Inks = a whole lot of texture with Linked Together

 One of the first bundles I ordered from the new Mini Catalogue was this one: Linked Together. There's a stamp set, dies AND deocrative masks. I'm grabbing my blending brushes and inks and have a great time adding the ink through the masks. You don't have to worry about doing it all the same depth of colour - in fact, varigated is more artistic - and I would recommend not even going for adding the colour on the entire panel of white. Having various tones really adds depth and texture to the card. I then stamped the greeting in a darker purple (Gorgeous Grape) to it really stands out and added some smaller flowers for effect. Love it!

Sending pretty Happy Birthday greetings with this creation. Enjoy!

Happy New Year 2025!

 Happy 2025: A fresh new day, month and year!

What does your January 1st look like? Will you be recouperating from NYE? Will you be getting together with family/friends to celebrate and kick off the new year? Will you be having a quiet day at home? For me, it's the latter. Alec is still away at his overnight with friends; Craig is sleeping in. Once I get the turkey soup started, I'm heading down to my craft space to throw a log on the fire, make some cards, and enjoy some quiet music in my new PJs. I'm more of a night time than day time crafter so this is a special treat!
Here's a card I made for a class next week with the Exec Assistants at work. The will choose the greeting the prefer; for me, I need annversary cards.
