Make It Monday #213: Cool Condensation Effects

 Hello and welcome! 

Betsy has a neat video using Glossy Accents to add condensation to a card. 

You know I love adding Glossy Accents to my cards. 

Ok, as you can see I didn’t wait for my Glossy Accents to dry. 

Just try and picture how nice it would look if it were dry and clear.

I used Lizzie Jones Pirate Design  as much a possible and only changed a few details, face, hat and leg. This one took some time and I can’t wait to get started on a much simpler one. I need it by Sunday for my granddaughter. The image, heat bonded to the hat is Pirate Puppy from Serendipity Stamps . He might look a little scary not sure how to make happy eyes yet :)

I loved Betsy’s water jar and stuck with that design.

Thanks so much for the visit today.

Hello and welcome!

We have a guest designer with us this month , most of you know her :

Tracey McNeely of In My Creative Opinion

Welcome Tracey!

I saw something like this done recently on another blog. 

To add texture to my paper , all I did was spray my paper just a bit with water then crumble it up. I let it dry and then stamped my image . Simple way to add a bit of texture to card stock. 

My background was created using the left over crumbled paper, then dipping it in the ink and stamping all over the white paper. I thought It added the look of texture.  I fussy cut the golf bag then glued a piece of chipboard to the back.  I use this stamp a lot, because  I love the simplicity of it!

Hope you can play along for a chance to win a 20$ gift certificate . 

Thanks so much for the visit!

Welcome to the May Kits of Occasions! 

 Jeanne is the hostess, this month and she sent a wonderful masculine kit! Jeanne usually makes very fancy and colorful cards so this kit was full of surprises . Well, Jeanne can make anything and it always looks wonderful.

Look at all these fish , some are stamped in  two colors! Can you imagine stamping this many fish, for 14 ! 

I knew I was going to use every last one of them!

 Fun ,Poker Chips  from Serendipity Stamps .

 Hope my mom won’t see this card , we were not aloud to say this word. 

Sometimes when my husband apologizes to me he says: Sorry: you’re a brat! Yep thats an apology, but it makes us laugh and then we move on. I had to make this card for him! I cut some of the sentiments Jeanne sent and changed them up.  Perfect card for him don’t you think :)

We have two guest this month, please welcome :Richard Breaks - That’s MISTER Cardmaker, to you!! and Jill Norwood - Greenwood Girl Cards. Jill won the contest a few months ago. Welcome, Richard and Jill!

Don’t forget to stop by the 12 Kits Blog and see what all the designers have made. If you are new to the 12 kits all the info and supply list will be there. 
Thank you so much Jeanne, I enjoyed making all my cards/ 

Thanks so much for the visit! 

God Bless!

Thank You Teacher

The Challenge.

I need about 6 more!  I think I will be changing the design.

Hello! Quick post, as I am on my way out the door soon.

 At first I wasn’t sure why there was not a stamp for the slide and swing then I looked a few of Papertrey Ink DT cards and saw that they just colored them in, I did the same with markers.Way easier than trying to stamp such a tiny image. 

Thank you so much for the visit today.

Betty Wright made a beautiful card for inspiration . 

I forgot to post this and just getting it in under the wire. I have not made many

 Christmas cards yet this year, usually I’m about half way done, by now.

I use my Serendipity Stamps Ornament Pops Solid Cling Set for the garland, 

Giddy Gumdrops and A Cottage Christmas. 

I love the way Betty used red on red sequins so I did the same.

Hi, we have a new challenge with a darling strawberry tag that Lynn designed .

 I used blackberries and kept the two layer tag, like Lynn. 

  I added some Glossy Accents, after coloring with my Copic markers.  The second layer is

NOT black it’s  Blackberry Bliss from SU, and a vellum layer on the back.

For this little summery tag, I used this sweet little Blackberries stamp from Serendipity Stamps ! 
I so enjoyed this simple coloring. Hope you can play along. 

Thanks again for the visit to my blog.
