I just wen thru my Christmas scraps and punched various size circles. After stamping my greeting with a Gina K stamp I set the circles around it. Some are flat and some are popped up with foam tape. Lastly I added some enamel dots and layered it all onto a kraft card base.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Weekend. I've been trying to get back into my craft room every week creating something new. This week I was inspired by the <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/challenges/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-156-color-inspiration" target="_blank">Lawn Fawnatics color challenge</a> and a few Lawn Fawn dies and stamps to create these slimline cards I used Delightful Daisy as my main focal point, and the Happy Birthday, Hello and Thank You Borders, cut from copper mirror card, for my greeting. I also used the grasses from Gleeful Gardens on my background which was created using Distress Oxide inks in Speckled Egg, Bundled Sage, and some Peeled Paint. The flowers were cut from paper I colored with Distress Oxide as well, Worn Lipstick and Seedless Preserves. I then grunged them all up with Walnut Stain and some shimmery copper splatters. I tried really hard at the end to ruin them with glue everywhere because, you know, it's not fun(exhilarating) unless you try to mess it up just as your almost finishing a project... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhfITXj9iI1cgY8lqzvisYJsgJb-F8PnFOSVrs08wlXRmtjB9sdKdvveBM70-uoCsjbXpGWfac9GYKN9Gd6D6Uufi6Hba0ncG0G5Y9bu1d3jkmjYoxqnAAznERywIkS7dTNFBW5MraNd_whFANqLcPLSnVIhJ9xpBGzkUPfbXKXCq0YYBldwNt2" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhfITXj9iI1cgY8lqzvisYJsgJb-F8PnFOSVrs08wlXRmtjB9sdKdvveBM70-uoCsjbXpGWfac9GYKN9Gd6D6Uufi6Hba0ncG0G5Y9bu1d3jkmjYoxqnAAznERywIkS7dTNFBW5MraNd_whFANqLcPLSnVIhJ9xpBGzkUPfbXKXCq0YYBldwNt2" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I could not decide on a greeting so I used 3 different ones.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dave and I went out today to see the Warhol exhibit at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art. I've been wanting to go all summer but with our Anniversary & Iowa trips it's been hard to fit things in. I relieved to get to see this even it was the last weekend. We had a great morning just the two of us exploring and learning. There were also a lot of little photo prop areas. I did have a problem photographing in the silver cloud room. But hey Dave got to sit and hold a Gracie look alike! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm on a roll and have been making a few cards a week now that I've gotten my mojo back. I'm trying to create multiples at one time, makes for more efficient use of my time and I have a number of cards completed to either send, sell or donate, which is amazing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This little card used a lot of what was on my desk. Some stamps from Ali Edwards & Heidi Swapp, a Spellbinders deer die and some MFT greetings dies. I used Distress Oxide inks to stamp. I had a package of white scalloped card bases I purchased from somewhere and I always have twine? Then I just got to putting it all together. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A new crochet WIP. I'm trying to use up some of the yarn I keep collecting. So this project uses only colors I have in the house and the<a href="https://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/harbour-blanket.html" target="_blank"> Attic 24 Harbour Blanket Pattern</a>. I love the colors Lucy created this blanket in. But I have no more room for new yarn until I use up some of what I have. I'm trying not to let the crochet hobby take over like the paper hobby did. USE WHAT YOU HAVE is my current mantra, and yes I usually have to yell it at myself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway this is a fun pattern to stitch while winding down in the evening. I will share more progress as we go. I am hoping to make this one pretty big. Have a Great Week ahead.</div>Marniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02109545651792881661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9887933.post-25665433766810651462023-09-01T10:06:00.009-05:002023-09-16T10:48:02.567-05:00Paint & Sip Party Fall Sign <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Lately I was having issues getting inspired, so I asked Abbi to pick out some supplies and I would make a card. She came back with 2 ideas. This is the first completed Inspired By cards. I used a number of Memory Box/Poppy Stamps dies and created this sweet Dandelion Birthday card. The greeting is from a Scrapbook.com stamp set embossed in white. The background is just Distress Oxide inks</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to do the fluffies on the dandelions and finally settled on some white yarn pulled apart until I just had little fluffy fibers which I glued behind the tiny flowers. Some tiny glued on dots and then white gel pen dots also help the affect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's a Fully Finished Object! Woo Hoo! So excited I finished this throw. It only took about 3 weeks and used 2 cakes of the Lion Brand Mandala yarns. It was great practice for the granny square stitch and the yarn changed color without me having to. AMAZING.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The pattern is by Satsuma Street, love their bold bright colors. I found it while I was packing for my Wisconsin retreat weekend in February. I wanted something to take a break from paper crafting when that got a little too much. I got a ton done that weekend and spent most of late Saturday and all of Sunday working on this. Then I knocked out the remainder the next couple of weeks. My goal was completion by 3/3/2023 and I mean a complete finish. So I could gift it the next day for Abbi's Birthday. I am so happy how it turned out. Black backgrounds are a bit challenging especially with my older eyes. There has to be a lot of light and something white under the piece for me anyway.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I finished it as a pillow as Ab's has tons on her walls and I thought this could be moved around easier. It's about 7" x 7" although it's a titch off center but for my first pillow finish I was pleased. I did put a black piece of fabric under the piece inside the pillow I was afraid the white fiber fill would show thru. Having never done a pillow before I wasn't sure. I also used some vintage trim I got at a thrift store around the pillow. Emily pointed out they were very much like tassels and Abbi hates tassels. That never occurred to me. Dingle balls are totally different IMO. Abbi did agree after she received it, they are totally different.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyhoo I had to wait to post this until after her birthday so she didn't mistakenly see it before receiving it. I am really getting back into stitching and picked up another piece I had started awhile back on black again. As well as my Advent Animals by Brookes Books. I will share those soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have a wonderful day.

I ended up going alone as my girlfriend had a family emergency. It was all good I watched a lot of Amazon Prime and Netflix and got lots done. On Saturday we shared our Valentine's with all of the other ladies there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These were created using a Mama Elephant stamp set Love From Above. I stamped and colored them with Copic's, then cut them with my new Brother Scan and Cut. OOOOOH total game changing tool. So excited I got this for Christmas. The background for the card was made using a Stamp Anniething cloud stencil set and 3 shades of pink Distress Oxide ink. The Happy Galentine's Stamp was from a Hero Arts set embossed in gold. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did put candy and a little candle in the boxes. They are from Stampin Up back in the day when you could buy packages of boxes already die cut. I stamped them with an All & Create stamp of X's O's and love.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Super happy how they turned out. Happy my little lone road trip turned out good and not a lot of snow although it was chilly. I did stop at Pop's and buy some treats for everyone along with some Pasty's for dinner and then a little side trip to Fancy Barn(The Elegant Farmer) for a wonderful pie for desert before heading home. It was a good drive for a couple of pod casts. <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was happy to get home though and be able to see everyone and the puppies. I will share some of my haul later this week.

Whenever I'm feeling stuck or just need a quick win I pull one out and add the photo a title and some embellishments.

The title was cut with my Silhouette and I used an older Carta Bella paper line that was vintage colors to put behind the papers.

Vienna especially loves the people blankets. I mean dog blankets are fine but if you have a blanket she must join in. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did get an opportunity to use a giant doily punch to create this background. I also used up some old rub ons for the title. Very proud of that I have so many old rub ons if I find some that still work I'm excited.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you for stopping by today to take a look.

Cut all those little presents and snow globes out of some pattern paper and piled them up on either side of the photos then added the candy stripe Thickers and a label with some embellies and washi tape. Really the faces are the cutest. The pictures are from their Snapchat stories.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for taking a look.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>Marniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02109545651792881661noreply@blogger.com0
