Mom Bookmark

Hello! Yesterday we did a Facebook Live to create this and you can see that HERE

We also have introduced a new upcoming die design....Mini Headline Type & Numbers which is exactly 50% off our original Headline Type and Numbers Die Sets!

It is so cute and there are 7 dies as they are grouped together, such as vowels, numbers, extra letters etc.

Very fun and will be coming mid May!  Also another set we will be showing that goes with it, but that is for another day!

This is an easy peasy bookmark using a few of AJVD designs. Could be used as a hangtag for a hanging flower basket or arrangement for Mother's Day!

To create the flower I used the oval jewelry tag and a brad for the center, cut 8 yellow and 2 green for leaves, loaded them on the brad with the green ones last, and then arranged as I wanted!

EASY!

Again you can watch the Facebook Live and see exactly how I did it!

April 9th is a Special Date and He LIVES!

So I finally got some mojo and created this card!
I hope this finds you safe, healthy, and happy even if you are stuck at home!
So we have had so many changes since we got home from NYC the end of February!
Wow, what a ride March was. So the reason my mojo disappeared for a bit is we had so many things going on, waiting to hear about shows was THE WORST. It was like a weight was lifted once we knew so we could then plan for the next step, it was that not knowing, up in the air time, that totally sucked the creativity out of both Jillian and I.
Check out the revised show schedule HERE!

Jillian and I work from home anyway, other than our clients, which she closed the salon before our Governor did, for safety.  Other than no hockey games or eating out, we are just doing what we normally do, getting ready for shows, working on new designs for you guys and planning what comes next!

We are kind of skipping summer designs because quite frankly with production down to minimum staff at our manufacturers, and shipping delays, we are looking at the holiday season designs trying to get here by July. Let me just say there are some really cute things coming out for the holidays.

On to my card. It is ironic that I got this done and didn't even think about the date tomorrow until I scheduled this post...April 9th.  April 9th holds a special place in my heart. that was the day back in 1990 that I was baptized! I waited (a couple of months) until it fell on a Palm Sunday as my dad was baptized on Palm Sunday, April 9th, 1950! So 40 years later I followed in his footsteps!

So this is a simple yet powerful card. You know, if you think you are having a hard week, think of the week Jesus had! Like Palm Sunday to Good Friday what a difference all in 1 week!
I heard a preacher say during his sermon YEARS ago...it may be Friday but Sunday is coming!
I love that as no matter how bad it is,  He LIVES!!!

So sit back on Sunday in your recliner and enjoy an Easter service from the thousands you can pick from online. Yes, we can't be in church with our new dresses and friends, but that is not what Easter is truly about. Every day should be Easter because He Lives! (sorry got kind of preachy there!)


Thanks for visiting today!
Stay Safe, Healthy and Blessed!

Majestic Deer Shaker Card

Happy World Card Making Day 2014!

Today I am showing you how to make a scene shaker card.

I just love the Majestic Deer designed by Melyssa of Whimsie Doodles. So i decided it would be fun to use in a shaker card. I started with the Basic Rectangle Backdrop Die and wanted to have a subtle background design so I decided to try something new . . . I used our new Tim Holtz Distress Stains in Picket Fence, sprayed on our Dainty Dots Background Builder Stamp, then stamped it onto the light blue paper and dried it with the heat tool.   It is kind of hard to see in the photo but it looks like snow in real life. Then I die cut using the largest oval in the Oval Backdrop Die Set centered in the Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop Die to create the "window" of the shaker. I used an over head projector sheet and cut using the same size Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop Die. I stamped the sentiment from Winter Woodland Stamp Set in Ranger Embossing Ink and heat embossed using Ranger White Embossing Powder.   Then layer them together in this order: Blue layer with oval cut out adhered to the top of the Clear overhead projector die cut. then using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Foam Tape, I put it all the way around the backside of those two pieces ~ sit this aside.

Next move on to the scene:  Cut 2 Majestic Deer out of Kraft cardstock, cut the antlers off of one deer and Two Tranquil Trees out of dark brown cardstock,  I used the Embossing Dabber by Ranger and their Sticky Embossing Powder to add the Distress Glitter to the trees so they looked snowy. I hand cut a piece of green cardstock  for the ground and also added Distress Glitter to it as well. Arranged them all on my light blue die cut that had been stamped with the Dainty Dots Background Stamp I added some iridescent confetti from Michael's and then layered the sandwich of clear acetate and cardstock on top ~ shaker part of the card complete! I used the snowflake dies from Sam E. Snowman Shaker Die Set to each corner and topped them off with some Want2Scrap Baby Bling in Clear! TADA . . .  there is my card!
