JanTink is a total case . . .

Wait, maybe that didn't come out right. What I meant is, I completely copied this from Janine Tinklenberg. You can see her original here, with all the instructions and details and a video even!

Thanks, Janine!

Friends

I completely stole this from JanTink. She's my friend. I *think*.

I mean, I *know* her, and she knows me. We've even spent time together in person. The friend part, well, let's just say it's up in the air.

See, in this post, she purposely tried to convince me I needed the Woodgrain BG stamp. Of course, I already *knew* that, but still! What kind of friend does that????

So I figured I could just copy her stuff and we'd be even. Since she designed it purely to taunt me. Oh, and there's another card coming that copies her, too. Just in the interest of full disclosure. {smile}

Winter Peace

I have to tell you, I *love* this project. It will probably go to my Mom for Christmas! LOL I used Silver Encore ink (stamped off, mostly) and Lovely as a Tree on textured Night of Navy cardstock cut at 5 x 12. The letters are die cut with my wonderful Big Shot and Serif Essentials Alphabet dies from Brushed Silver cardstock.

I kept trying to add embellishments, but they just didn't work! It needed to be simple, I guess. We made these last night at my Christmas Giftables class.

Medallion Coaster

This is another gorgeous project from my upline, Margo Kelly! We stamped Medallion in Elegant Eggplant Craft ink, then used Iridescent Ice embossing powder and heatset. Just a warning, if you do this--it took a loooooooong time to get the powder to melt! In the 5-10 minutes range. But so worth it!

Have a great Monday!

Birthday swap

My Swappers Anonymous friends held another swap--this time for birthday cards. Because really, who doesn't need birthday cards??? I have too many cards that say "hello" or "life is good," and not enough that say happy birthday!

Anyway, here is my submission for the swap. I used Greenhouse Garden in Bermuda Bay and Basic Gray (oh, it rhymes! I get extra credit) stamped on Shimmery White cardstock. So yummy, that paper!

Then I sponged more Basic Gray around the edges and layered it on textured Bermuda. Layered onto the Night and Day DSP (what will we do when that goes away???? fingers crossed for another black and white DSP) and Basic Black. Then textured Bermuda again, more black, all layered onto a Basic Gray card base. The ribbon is the reverse of the Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Grosgrain.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Black brads added just enough accent, and it's all done! The hardest part was using the Stampamajig for all the flowers. LOL

Thanks to my Swappers Anonymous Sisters for great swaps! Love ya!

Glitter Christmas from Margo

This is another project from my upline, Margo Kelly. The Medallion BG is stamped in Craft Real Red, and then embossed with Iridescent Ice. The center is the smaller snowflake in Serene Snowflakes. It's punched, embellished with a rhinestone brad, and popped up on dimensionals!

Stamped tote

Last week my upline, Margo Kelly, held a great meeting. This is one of the projects we made! We used craft inks to stamp Flower Fancy right onto the plastic, and then we embossed with clear embossing powder. What a great idea!
