Birthday candles – Jan. 4, 2021

Birthday, Dull Glossy Paper

Good morning and happy new year! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. 🥳

The two cards today show different ways to color the EE53 skinny candles. One of our favorites is a gradient and the other is to add stripes/dots. With both, we start with the lightest color marker and then add the darker color. White paper is dull gloss. The pink striped background paper is from a paper pack. The green striped background we created using the HH28 dots and lines border stamp.

Christmas Cards, Dull Glossy Paper, Holiday, Snowman, Winter

Good Morning and happy Thursday! We are working on staying positive over here and believing in good things to come. This is a fairly quick card with four stamps. The snowman and white background piece of paper are dull gloss. We stamp these snowflakes multiple times before re-inking to create variation. The snowman was colored with copic markers. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Happy holidays ear muff snowman – Dec. 10, 2020

Dull Glossy Paper, Holiday, Snowman

Almost Friday! Here we have a simple holiday card and I smudged the words again slightly. 🤦🏻‍♀️ This time as I was gluing and as I tried to lift it up, the paper started to rip so figured it was good as is. You’d think I would learn but just get too excited and on a roll. 🤪

Motorcycle birthday wishes – Dec. 9, 2020

Birthday, Dull Glossy Paper, motorcycles

Hello everyone! Today we have a motorcycle birthday card. Found this graphite color in a buried paper stash and loved how it looked with the motorcycles. Had a little mess up smudging the B on my first attempt but I’m glad I hadn’t glue it yet and was able to re-stamp! That’s the tricky thing with the dull gloss paper, need to allow the ink to dry completely.

Wonderful birthday – April 27, 2020

Birthday, Cutting Dies w/ matching stamp, Dull Glossy Paper, pattern paper

Good Evening! We continue to be in a stay at home order and our area has seen a quadruple spike in Covid-19 cases due to some of the meat packing companies who are still working. They have finally shut them down but it is almost too late so we have become a hot spot here in Green Bay.

Stamps Used:

E296 Wonderful Birthday;

DD82 Krinkle Butterfly Stamp or Cutting Die;

So our home project continues 😊 yippee. We got all the staining done on the stairs. It was quite a job… it’s probably hard to see in these pictures but I’m very happy with it. We went from orange oak to a deep java brown.

now the painting…
