Here are the swap cards I got in exchange for my card I posted earlier. Most of the people didn’t put their names on the cards so I don’t know who made most of them. If I find out, I wi…
Exploring creative possibilities with ink, stamps, embossing, and paper.
Today I pulled out a couple of pieces of the Simply Elegant Specialty DSP. I've combined Basic Gray/Silver and Gold which I don't think I've ever put together before. The flowers have been embossed in gold and fussy cut. The new Elegant Tag punch is going to be quite versatile now that I've learned how to make different sizes of the tag and shapes. Here I've shortened the tag because the greeting was small and I wanted more of the gold and silver Simply Elegant Trim to show. To make the tag longer you would do the same thing except with a desired length. The width of the tag is 1 3/4". Rather than putting the cardstock through the proper opening of the punch, turn it over and insert the cardstock through the bottom of the punch into the slits available....and punch Turn the punch around and do the same thing for the other end. Here you can slide the cardstock to the length you are looking for. I didn't have anything in particular in mind when I was doing this, but I will use the tag on a future project. Here I've shown the original size of the tag (in Calypso Coral) and the tag I just made. Another option is to have the fancy design at both ends of the tag. Using various widths and lengths of cardstock you can create a number of different designed tags. I'll work on creating some and share them with you. Finally, I always stamp the corner of my envelope and I've started to stamp the inside of my cards also. For this set I've embossed the flower in gold. That's it for today. I still have a couple of stamps in this set to play with so I will probably share them tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by, Joan
I wanted to make a non-winter card with the Peaceful Cabin stamp set and this is what I came up with. I stamped the cabin in Early Espresso and colored in the roof with the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin&…
Two days after Christmas and I am focusing on products from the new Mini catalogue and SAB catalogue both of which go live on Jan. 4, 2022 One of the first stamp sets I got from the new Mini catalogue is the Daffodil Daydream stamp and die bundle. And from the SAB catalogue, coordinating with it I got the Daffodil Afternoon DSP - FREE The number of dies were quite onerous, so I spent a little time familiarizing myself with them. Check out the video below how I did that, and then went on to make a card using the daffodil die cuts. You can view the video here or on You Tube here Here is one of the cards I made for the video. You can receive this card if you make a comment on the video. The Thick Very Vanilla card base is layered first with some Daffodil Daybreak DSP and then a smaller piece of the reverse side of the same DSP. The Daffodil DSP is a free SAB item. The Scallop Contour die cut in Very Vanilla was used to build the flower on. For the flower I die cut 4 leaves and 2 stems in Mossy Meadow, the flower petals and inner bud in Daffodil Delight and the accents of the petals, the outer bud and cut were die cut is Crushed Curry. The cup itself was cut in Very Vanilla. After layering the various parts of the Daffodil, they were added to the Scallop die cut, but not before adding some "dots" in Mossy Meadow for added interest. This card has a sentiment on it, but on the video I did not put one on, instead tucking it on the inside. Supplies Used: Stamp: Daffodil Daydream Inks: Mossy Meadow Papers: Thick Very Vanilla , Very Vanilla , Daffodil Afternoon DSP, Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight, Basic black Accessories: Daffodil Dies, Scallop Contour Dies, Dimensionals, Bumblebee trinket

Jenn over at Just Jenn Recipes was cool enough to share this. I've been looking for a good "J" snack for school next week. I think we've found it! Thanks for sharing, Jenn!! Different color themes would be really fun depending on what you're making this for. What little princess wouldn't love purple & pink "jeweled jello" at a party? Or, how about Superbowl team colors? :) Go Steelers! Jeweled Jell-o Ingredients: 4 small boxes of jello, different colors 1 can sweetened condensed milk 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin water Directions: Dissolve each box of jello separately, into one cup of hot water. Pour into individual containers (small tupperware works well) and chill overnight. Ready a 9×13 pan. Cut flavors of jello into small blocks. Mix together carefully in pan. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Add dissolved gelatin to 1 3/4 cup hot water and condensed milk. Cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight.
