Flying Santa

Hey Stampers,

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. November seems to be just flying by. I can't believe how many days are left until Christmas. I have started my shopping but it is far from over. Right now I have 3 nephews and a niece on the way very shortly, I have the most fun shopping for them and seem to have a hard time finding when to stop. Anyone else like that?

Thanks for checking in, we'll see you back tomorrow hopefully.

Technique Tuesday

Hey Stampers,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, I certainly did. I feel like I got so much done. I ended up doing a lot of crafting which is always fun! Today is Tuesday and I thought I would show you another technique we did at my Technique Tuesday class. There is a tutorial for this on Splitcoaststampers. I happened to just do some laundry over the weekend and a good thing as this technique uses used dryer sheets. This was pretty easy, I used spray adhesive and suggest you don't do this on a work space that you use a lot....my desk is a little too sticky for my liking right now. Hope you like it, I tried 2 different cards using the Lovely as a Tree stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Technique Tuesday

Hey Stampers,

I so excited to share this card with you today. I am really happy and proud the way this turned out. This is not an original and there is an excellent video found here to show you step by step how to recreate this. The technique is called Emboss Resist. It was very messy while I was making it and had to wash my hands a few times during the process so I wouldn't smudge ink. I don't have a lot of Craft Ink pads so what I did instead of stamping with Craft ink pads was I stamped the tree in Versamark ink first and then used the classic ink pads in the Always Artichoke and Brocade Blue, finally embossing with clear embossing powder. You have to be quick when doing it this way. I hope you like the card, it's using to previous ink colours but who cares.

Thanks for checking in with me today! Hope you have a good one.
