DB - Penguin Valentine

Check out my latest Valentine with non-traditional colors over on the Doodlebugs WA blog.

Laminator Hot Foil Experiment

I played around with the Taylored Expressions Foil It - Beautiful Blizzards sheets last night.  Could they be used with my Glimmer Machine rather than my laminator? Yessssssssss! 

And I paired the panel with a leftover foiled sentiment (foiled in silver and magenta)--win win!

DB - Valentine Owls

I'm on the Doodlebugs WA blog today with a cute Valentine slimline shaker card.  Feeling fancy!

Elegant Noel

Talk about a card that defies taking a good picture.  I love all the gold but damn.  There are 3 shades of gold here:  foil mirrorboard for the letters, princess gold for the stems and gold gold for the stripes.  Whew!  The berries are red flocked cardstock, kraft for the holly and cream for the snowflakes and noel base with a white card front.

I'm entering this in Color Throwdown #676 and ABC Christmas A for Anything Xmas and B for Baubles.

Snow Peoples

I love quirky and thus I love AALL & Create stamps including the Let It Snow set.  They're so (oddly) cute!

I salvaged a Brusho panel that I didn't like after embossing the snowflakes in aquamarine which was totally not the look I was going for on that particular card.  Here, covered in a light coating of gesso, with some spatters and added circular snowflakes--brilliant!

Birch Press Design - Galentine Hugs

I'm up on the Birch Press Design blog today with a Galentine's day card.

ATSM #421 - Make Your Mark

I've joined the Addicated to Stamps & More DT--woo hoo! I've played along with the challenges regularly over the years so chuffed to be able to contribute more to them.

The first for 2022 is #421 Make Your Mark (my personal favorite).  

I'm using two new supplies, CC Design Cute Penguins and Whimsy Stamps Nordic Slimline Background. I love knitting so naturally had to grab the Nordic stamp.

I inked up the stylized snowflakes with Versafine Clair (actually these colors are new to me too) and colored up the penguins with Copics. So cute!
