New technique for me

I had a lot of fun making this card.  I've never used Gesso before and I love the way it came out.  Stamp sets were "Make it count" from Close to my Heart, "The Journey" from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous and Distress Inks from Ranger.  I also embossed the words on the side of the card.    

What's brewing?

I like coffee . .  . I don't care for tea.  Tea reminds me of being sick.  When I was younger and any of us weren't feeling well, my Mom would make tea and toast.  The smell of tea brings back memories of lying on the couch and Mom bringing over a cup of tea.  So, when I needed to make a get well card, I used a stamp set from Rubbernecker Stamps that has tea pots and tea bags.  For ink, I used Ranger Distress Inks.

Sisters

Even though this card doesn't have anything stamped on it, I wanted to post it.  I love this picture of my sister and me which was taken a few years ago, lol.   I used gathered twigs Distress Ink around the edges of the printed picture and frame.

Valentine card

I made this card using a stamp from studio g and one from craft smart (love those $1.00 stamps!).  The corners were made with and EKSuccess punch.  I embossed the "U Rock" stamp with black embossing powder.  

Valentine Tags

Getting ready for Valentine's Day, I made some cards and tags.  Here are two  tags that I cut out with Tim Holtz Magnetic Dies and then stamped with some studio g stamps.  I took some markers and drew on on a craft sheet.  I then  used a mini mister to spray some water on the sheet.  Before it dried, I took a tag and patted it in the droplets for the first tag and then dragged the tag through the ink for the second one.  After they both were dry, I stamped them using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I also added a glittery heart sticker from makingmemories.

Sprocket Gears

Walking down an aisle in a craft store, I noticed a package of Tim Holtz Sprocket Gears.  I also had an embossing folder at home with the gears on it and knew they just needed to be put on a card together. 

Stampers Anonymous Skeleton

As soon as I saw this stamp at a show this past Fall, I knew I had to have it. I love Halloween and this stamp was begging to come home with me.
