Back to what I love most

Hi all back again to what I love most, staying home helping on the farm, doing my gardening helping my kids when needed, and doing my crafts of all kinds. Warren just had a new hip in before
Christmas so we have been more at home. No complaints from me as I am now not working full time at the Dollar General store, I was doing for four years and it took a toll on my body and stress level. Working for a big corporation is not always fun, as much as I loved the customers and who I worked for , but being a ASM and being taken from store to store to help manage or help out can be a huge challenge. I just pray that God will let me contuie to be able to stay at home. Farming Is really a struggle and hard.
We are hoping to do more camping, and just being able to go and do when we want.

 I sold my Cricut explorer and bought a Cricut maker, as it does so much more and so far I love it.

 my first project turned out great. and It came with the machine.

My new baby Granddaughter Adalyn

 

I love making special cards, and I knew we where having a granddaughter.  For this card I embossed hearts on a card then used Distress ink, Picked raspberry, I just love this color. Then I tool vellum and that softened the look, vellum is so versital in being used so many ways. I then used a die cut heart and little hearts, with a few baby embellishments from some mixed hints I had, that I found on clearance a while back.  I am away from home helping my daughter and my other two year old grandaughter Kinsley so I don't remember for sure the name of the die cuts. But to guess it would be Siomon Said. 

Here she is💞 perfect and blessed. Gods blessing to you all.

Load of Thanks

Load Of Thanks

Debbie here again, and excited to be back here to make another card for Laura's Loft.

This stamp set Newton's Nook "Wagon of  Wishes"is one of my favorite.

I have used it for many cards and  seasons already!
I stamped it with black ink on a heavy white paper.
 I used many different copic markers for  coloring the wagon and flowers.
The tags I used my circut explore to cut many out at a time. Stamped the words from the same stamp set with black ink. Then I  placed them on top of each other and spread them out and stapled them together and then added  Virginia Turtle Enamel Dots "Autumn"
 I added this to the card stock and then under the wagon I added the raised line with a score board.
Added some pretty paper to match the tags on top, and punched the design in it.
This card was pretty fast to do. Seems I am always needing thank you cards to give.
"Thanks" for stopping by.

2nd place by Newtons nook,,,
what a great prize

Be Yourself beautiful bold loving unique

Being new at this I did watch, You Tube for some help. With so many videos out there, I sure found out how and tried it. 

First of all I used the water color paper from CTMH. I cut it to 3 3/4 x 4 1/8. I then stamped it with versa mark with the stamp set Altenew "Thoughts and Reminders", using the embossing powder Wow "Metallic Copper" to finish the words. Look at that shine, love this embossing powder.

Then I masked taped it to my craft mat to hold it still and try to make it not crinkle as much.

I added quit a bit of water on it to make it really wet so the colors would run. 

For my colors I used distress inks, Fried Brick, Mustard seed, Seedless Preserves,and Salty ocean.

I simply put some color on a stamp block, and added water to it, and with a paintbrush added the color to the wet paper and let the water do its work. I did the same for all these colors. I then took a paper towel and picked up excess water and softly dabbed it over all the colors so that's how you see some different colors in some of them. Then took my heat gun to dry it all the way. I also applied some Tatter Angels glimmer mist, to give it all a nice shine.  Easy yes and fun.

I applied this to a 4 1/2 x 5 3/4 black card stock. On the bottom of the card I added some twine simply wrapped around it three times.  

There you go, my challenge is done and what fun I had.

Don't forget to check out each different blog below to see what they all created.

Hello

Hello and welcome to another product I got at Laura's store. The We Are Memory Keepers "Heat Wave Tool" I used it to make the word hello. I did use the stencils that is for the heat wave tool.  It did work really easy and with more practice I will be much better at it. The uses for it will be endless. 
I used the stamp set Newtons Nook, "Day Dream" and painted it using distress inks " Frayed Burlap". The grass, "mowed lawn", and "pine needles",using distress pads blending the colors, and for the sky distress color "Chipped sapphire", and "peacock feather"s.

  Just a quick simple card for when someone needs a card to know I am there for them. Thanks for stopping by.

"Be yourself beautiful bold Loving unique"

Hello again and I am so happy to here showing you a card I made for Laura's Inspirational Compadres DT. It is always fun making a new card of trying a new way of doing one. This card I used vellum and embossed it first with the saying from the stamp set Altenew "Thoughts and Reminders" But since I didn't have black embossing ink , I first embossed the words with versemark, I then dipped it in black ink to give it some color.  Then for the flowers I used the stamp set from Altenew " Vintage Flowers" stamped in embossing ink, and then embossed with white embossing powder. I  then painted it in with Picked raspberry distress ink.with just a small paint brush. For the first time I tried this it was really easy and fun  To match that I took and cut out a heart shape, and painted the frame  with the same distress ink on watercolor paper. Then glued it all on a 7 x 5 craft card. I really love how it all turned out and can't wait to make something else doing this.
Thanks for stopping by, and taking a peak of my new card, and don't forget to stop and check out Laura's store, she is always adding new things.

Second place gets this great gift certificate from Avery Elle.

"Fly By"

Coming up with a idea was when I got this new stamp set

Avery Elle "Fly By"
I fell in love with this stamp set as soon as I saw it. 

I love this stamp set because my dad is a small plane pilot since I was a little girl.

So I made this card for him. 

The first thing I did was cut a double stitched rectangle using:

Avery Elle "Wonky Stitches Die"

It measures about 5 1/2 x 4. This die set has 5 pieces in it, and I have used it alot already.

The challenge is resist and what I did was masking. I had never done this before but I gave it a try.

The first thing I did was stamp with Memento Luxe Tuxedo Black ink, on the white card stock and on some masking paper. I then cut out the stamped objects

and layed them on top of the stamped objects on the card stock.

I took Tim Holtz Salty Oceans, distress ink and applied it with the mini ink blending tool, on the white card around the masked objects. Then I took off the masking tape and my stamped objects below it where perfect!

I was so excited that it worked. Then I colored in with a copic # R27 the words Love you. 

For the clouds I embossed them with WOW "Sparkling Snow" embossing powder, it sure gave them a real sparkling look.


So not to think I could take it to easy, I did some searching on something else I could do.  I found a resist painting by using wax paper with a embossing folder, and adding distress ink on top of it. So that's what I did, and it did work really well.

Tis the season for Love! So I wanted to make a card for a guy and as you know that's pretty hard sometimes.
I got a idea off of Pinterest, looking at different pictures and ideas of how to do it.
I embossed a piece of wax paper, then mad a sandwich of scrap paper, card stock, wax paper, card stock, scrap paper. Then took a hot iron, with no steam and pressed it for about three times. Then peeled it away and you could see a faint print on it.
Then used Tim Holtz mini distress inks : Peacocks Feathers, Mustard Seed & Fired Brick. To apply them I used the mini tool plus the mini pads, and then had fun adding it to the wax design left on the paper. I just kept going back and forth with the colors until I was happy with it. Then I sprayed Tattered angel glimmer shine, on top of it to give it a little more shine.
For the butter fly, Altenew Bejeweled Stamp set, and the matching die set Altenew Bejewled die set.
Then embossed it with WOW copper embossing powder.
The saying on the card also embossed with copper embossing powder.
The words where from the stamp set The Greeting Farm "Flutter Heart"
The words Love Ya is from Cas-ual Fridays Die  "Love Ya"
and used gold glitter paper for the words.
I ended up really having fun making this card, and can't wait to do it again.

"Love Ya" for stopping by!!!!

Don't forget to stop by the other great designers for the challenge.

Cheer Up

CHEER UP

Welcome back everyone. This is Debbie back again, and am so excited to be on the DT Inspirational Compadres for Laura's Loft. 

The card I made is for a male family member who had surgery. So I had just recieved the new stamp set from Laura's shop. 

 https://lauras-loft-shop.myshopify.com/     

The new stamp set is called:

My Favorite Things "Blue Skies Ahead"

I was also so excited to get my first stiched die set and as you can see it looks great.

I did add a little black marker ink to make some of the stiched dies stand out.

 Avery Elle "Wonky Stiches Die"

I also used the Virgina Turtle, enamel dot "Autumn" to finish off the two little tags that I had connected together.

Thanks for stopping buy, and I hope you all stay well this winter months.

Happy New Year,,Happy Mail Card

                         Happy New Year

As I welcome a new year, and have a little time before my next christmas party. I got some happy mail, and any happy mail for me is crafting things. My happy mail was The Stamps of life, stamp set and dies! Yes I am addicited to stamps and dies, because you can do so much more  things with them. So as I start my new year with a new card, its fitting it should say 

Happy Mail!

This card was so easy and fun to do...It is a 5 1/2 x 4 inch white card. On the background I used Tim Holtz distress ink, salty ocean, and mowed lawn, and applied it with the mini distress tool.

I wanted it to more stand out more and that is why I love using dies, and so cut out the mail box, bird, envelopes, and grass.

I then used Prismacolor colored pencils, black and darkbrown, to color the post in the mail box, and red for the big heart.

The envelopes I wanted to make them look like they fell out of the mail box, and cut four of them out with the die, and stamped them with the stamp with black ink. I wanted to make them look kinda spring, because here in Nebraska we have had lots of snow and cold. So I colored them with copic markers, bo1,bo4,r27,rv63.

The words rv63, and the bird with y15. 

The grass I stamped with distress ink, pineneedles, peeled paint. I made some of them to stand out by cutting them with the die cut and coloring them in.

So glad you stopped by and I hope you are getting some happy mail!!

Christmas card "Wishing you Peace on earth"

Hello crafters, I am so honored to be featured on the DT of Laurs's Loft at
www.lauralscott.com for my Christmas card.
I had so much fun making this Christmas card.
I used the stamp set called Newton's Nook, Holiday Wishes. I have used this
same stamp set to make many cards different ways.
Check out Laura's new store at www.shop.lauralscott.com. This is a 6 1/2  x 5 card. I then cut a 6 x 4 3/4 white card stock and on the embossing
folder on put on red ink from ctmh, and embossed it. I then took Wink of Stella Brush
and added it to a few places to add some shine.
On top of that I took another 4 x 3 white cardstock and stamped the ornaments with black
ctmh ink. I then colored them in using Bic markers. I then added liquid glass on them to
bring out a shinny look to them. For the words they are also on the stamp set Hoilday wishes,
I stamped them in black and red ink. They turned out so nice and clear.
To finish it off I tied a bow of gold ribbon on top.
I hope you like my Christmas card. I am pretty new at this, but this stamp set
is so much fun to use in so many ways. Also this stamp set has words in it that
I plan on using all threw the year. Thanks for stopping and looking.

Fall flowers card

I really stepped outside of my comfront zone to try and use my stamp set from

CTMH called Paper Garden, I used a 7 x 5 kraft card, and on top

of that I used a 6 1/2 x 5 1/2 white card stock. The colors I used

to stamp where also from CTMH, Honey, Autumn Terracotta, Pear, 

I had so much fun stamping and really like it. I cut a tag from my

Cricut explore, and then stamped the words on it. Any words

would go with this card I think. Hope you enjoy it as much as 

 I had fun making it. 

Art Impression, Live, Laugh,Love, card,

Here is another card made with the Live, Laugh, Love, Art Impression clear stamp set. I used a 5 1/2 x 7 kraft premade card paper, with a white card paper cut out and used  a corner punch to punch the corners out. I also used a pale pick to distress the edges and corners. I stamped the picture with black ink. Then used assorted markers to color it in. The embossing poweder Wow was used  for the words live,laugh,love, on a tag. I really enjoy  these stamps sets , they bring a little laughter on the cards and for the lucky person who will get them.

Live, Laugh Love Art Impressions, clear stamps

This is a new fun stamp set, I stamped it with black ink, then used different markers Close to my heart and Coptic markers, I am pretty new at this so I am learning what works the best. I am happy with both kinds.  I used a soft pink color for distressing the edges and tags. The inside I used a new embossing folder called confetti from CTMH , I really like it, I also used Tim Holtz mini ink blending tool. I used the soft pink ink again. The tags I made with my cricut explore. I can't wait to give this card to one of my friends.
