A buck has never performed better. Thus far the quality has been great. The Llama set did give me a bit of pause for one of the images only. The rest have been fine. I will chalk it up to user error.

It has been a very interesting 2020. Hope all of you are faring well and keeping you, yourself and your families safe.<br />
Distance Learning has ended for us and I for one am exhausted. It is much more challenging to keep students engaged on line than I ever needed to do face-to-face. We kept the faith and stayed the course.<br />
During this time one of our students was out for a bit and I created a card(A2) to send from the class.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This one uses a some of the stickers that I picked up from the Dollar Tree and the scalloped circles are from punches. The Safari stickers are from a set I got from QVC eons ago. I do like to create some generic card bases and then add on stickers and sentiments as the occasion requires.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Please take this virus seriously. I lost a school mate to COVID-19 on Tuesday. He was laid to rest this past Saturday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will continue to keep the family lifted in prayer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until then.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had promised to share up close pictures of my Teacher Gifts from my vee-dio.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well here they are. I loved how they turned out. Too bad I did not sell ONE of them at my recent craft fair. The next time they are offered I will fill them with some note cards, pens and or thank you cards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I like that you can be as elaborate or as simple as you choose. I was in a hurry and so I went with patterned paper. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are snowed in today in the northeast so I decided it was time to update my blog. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to start by sharing how I decided to package my Mug Treats.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At the last minute I placed an order with ClearBags. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">They were the perfect size. I ended up selling them for $4.50 each or 2/$8.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I will definitely make these again. Selling one package paid for the treats. Selling two covers the cost of the bags and paper. Factor in your time and everything above that is profit. </span><br />

I have been wanting to try this on the Dollar Tree foam for over a year now. That ship finally sailed and I was aboard. If you have not checked out any of the Foamiran videos, please do so. The crafters are very talented and create the most exquisite flowers. Here is my first attempt.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After creating a flower that was very similar to the carnation, I wanted to attempt a looser version and came up with this one.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I added stamens to the center. I like how the yellow one turned out better. It is more circular. I will have to work on that technique. I also tried my hand at one in blue.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I did break down and ordered white foam. I will be excited to share those flowers with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

I am back again with flower #6. This was created as a large open bud that would work well in a bouquet. I added one leaf and the McGill Crystal to the center.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A final view of both flowers. I am spoiled for choice. I can make these ANY color I choose. I am ready to make a full set to display in my vase instead of the real thing. They will definitely last longer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The large and small Sweet Peony stamp set affords me so many opportunities to create one-of-a-kind beauties.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Two flowers were created this time. The first is taking the flower and making a very tight bud. This was done with the smallest flower from the small set. Almost reminds me of a rose bud. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This next flower relies on the veining created using the stylus tool. I used Nuvo Crystal drops in the centers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is the one I created in the vee-dio which is linked below in case you missed it. I added the stamen using the McGill Crystal punch. Glitter could be added to the tips for the look of pollen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This flower is very open and loose. This would work well on a scrapbook page as the texture is in the embossing and will provide a 3-D look. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Since I uploaded thumbnails for my Vee-dios I decided to post them here also for an additional view.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is flower #1 using the Sweet Peony large and small flower stamps from Heartfelt Creations.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Not sure where the rest of the alphabet is hiding but there were also word cards in the stack and I was decorating them to put in a baby book for my son. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The cards were blank manila stock and I added the textures, embossing, inks, etc.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My love affair with these cute 3x3 cards has been revived. They are quick, easy and makes efficient use of the smalls that we all have lying around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I will have to look for the name of this paper, but I love the freshness and it is a pack I got from Tuesday Morning. The base is the heavyweight 110 lb Recollections paper from Michaels. The envies are made from the White card I get from Tuesday morning. The weight is not specified, but I believe it is about 40-50 lbs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Little B words were perfect for this project. There are four in each sleeve with each phrase represented. Again, I simply need to top them with the coordinating paper and staple them closed. The packaging is from the Wilton line. They are 6x 3.75 and perfect for these cute little cards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by and until the next project.</span>Veehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11972152091510843503noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945595507729078093.post-30281421008689857212017-08-12T11:37:00.001-04:002017-08-12T11:45:44.479-04:00General Tag Making<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hello to all of my crafty friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know it has been a minute since I posted, but please know that I have been a busy little bee. I am hoping to sell at Christmas craft fairs this year. I need to amass a sizable amount of goods. Sharing a photo of some gift tags I made using Washi tape and a few die cuts. These are NOT Christmas related. I have made a box load of those already.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The tags are the small precut ones that I scored at my local Tuesday Morning stores and shared in previous haul videos. If I went in and they were available, I grabbed them. Yes, I could use my die cutting machines, and believe me I have, but these are time savers and that is uppermost on my agenda.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I sorted and packaged them four to a bag and cut a piece of white card to fit the envelope. Those are the long ones that I got from Tuesday morning and cut them in half. I just need to add the topper and staple them closed.</span><br />

I made a batch of coffee cards (around 50) and want to share them with you. I did make a YT vee-dio (link at the bottom) where the majority of the details are given. I am posting some in progress pictures for you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My cut images came from two Cricut Cartridges and indicated in the photo. The top is From My Kitchen (saucer) and the bottom (cup) is Joys of the Season. I also cut the outline shadow at 1 1/2 inches.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once the images were cut I embossed them and colored them using a variety of Distress Inks. The saucers were embossed with an Ali Express Oval stitched die. I thought it really gave a realistic indentation to the saucer. Remember to turn your cups with the handles facing different ways when embossing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yes, I snapped this photo upside down and forgot to turn it, but I am sure you get the idea. I inked the stamped image while it was still in the die.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The cards were cut to 5x5 and I stamped coffee beans using the Fiskars coffee themed stamp set and colored using Spectrum Noir markers. I adhered the paper and did the stamping while the cards were flat. I did not fold them until all items had been attached. After some feedback I carried the beans all the way to the ends of the card.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This small cup set was stamped inside of each card and colored with Derwent Coloursoft pencils.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This was the final result. I made sure that the sentiment matched the cup in the middle of the stack. The rest were some Prima flowers (and others) that I had. My attempt to use the Nuvo Liquid Drops was hit or miss. I resorted to some K&Co. embellishments for some of the larger flowers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I having a grand old time using these cute little stamps from Hampton Arts. Don't know why I have waited for years to get them inky. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This raccoon is so stinking cute. I used the Indie Chic Nutmeg card collection from My Mind's Eye. This card is based on card sketch, Mojo Monday #432.</span><br />

I have kept these very simple and elegant. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I want the recipient to smile and not be overwhelmed by an overly done card. The color coordination can be kept to the materials you have on hand. Instead of ribbon, washi tape would make a great accent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For now I only have the vee-dio. I will photograph some of the cards and update the post.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wow, these cards are flying by now. This is one I enjoyed creating. I used the Clearly Besotted Always and Forever stamp set. This was very easy to pull together as the layers were not complicated. I only made the three colors for this one. I took a lot of liberty with the coloring of my poppies. That is the joy of creating. You can make it YOUR own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Hello and thanks for stopping in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the next installment of my card sharing and is based on Mojo Monday Sketch #431. I find that I don't share my card creations often enough. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I went through one box of stamps and pulled some that I had NEVER used before but loved them when I purchased them, and these Foot Longs from Hampton Arts designed by Kelly Panacci fit the bill.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I used this carnival paper pack that I found on sale at JoAnns and the My Mind's Eye the Mabel collection. I colored the possum with my Derwent Colorsoft Pencils.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The circles and the scallops were cut from this Spellbinders set and not the Cricut Cartridge. </span><br />

I hope your day is going well. I am back again to share another card sketch. It feels great to work my way through my stash. This opens the window to new purchasing opportunities.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The puffy turtle sticker is from a set I found at the Dollar Tree. The stamp is from Hampton Arts and a Tuesday Morning find.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Really like how it turned out. It was most likely loosely based on a card sketch but not sure which one. I know some were left over pieces that I pressed into service. I also have a video accompaniment to the card.</span><br />

Many of you have daffodils and sunshine but it is still winter in Northern Virginia. The bus stop temperature was 24 degrees, but thankfully no winds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As promised I want to share more of the cards I have been creating. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am using the Hampton Arts Foot Long stamps. They stamp beautifully and the sizes are perfect for cards. Were I to attempt this sketch again I would definitely allow for better spacing of the flags. that bottom one could have come down a bit more. We live and we learn. I decided not to add anything additional to this card which would make it perfect for a guy.</span></div>
