Jingle Joy Kit of the Month + Online Crop

Saturday, December 12th 2020 9:00 am - 9:00 pm

It's not to late to get ready for the Holiday season!

When it comes to bright & cheerful, this kit will cover your options! I’ve created 8 pages + 10 cards using the jingle joy paper collection + sticker sheet, coordinating cardstock, PML cards and Die cuts. I added a few stamp sets and thin cuts (November Stamp of the Month and Gnome For Christmas +thin cuts). The new Gnome for Christmas set is stunning in size and cuteness; I am surprised at how much I love it. The Thin Cuts sizes are perfect for cards and pages.

New colors are showcased in this palette: Flamingo, and Clover! I even show blending with distress oxide inks — Plus, gold thread, gems, liquid pearls diamond stickles… all kinds of fun and festive items to create 8 stunning holiday pages +10 cards. This is the perfect opportunity to join in and learn some new skills! We will cut, measure, prep, stamp, thin cut, and have a lot of fun making up layouts, cards, and home decor! I can’t wait to share it all with you online via ZOOM on December 5th!

You want me to Random Stamp 😳

Let's take a minute to talk about random stamping!

Do you freeze up when you're kit says to "random stamp" the background? You just know your images are going to be crooked, or off center or perhaps to random! Well, I am here to give you permission to let all of that go, and follow one simple guide ('rule' is so harsh in the crafting world)

Here is a super easy-to-use idea for random stamping. Use the triangle method!

Start in a corner of your project and create three points to a triangle. For example look at my card above in the upperleft hand corner, you can see three trees that forma visual triangle. Keep up that pace to fill out your project, using each tree as a triangle point.

I messed up my spacing, but did I really? My sentiment fills the void I accidentally created when I was creating my visual triangle.

See that die cut tree popped up? I watercolored the tree under it all toffee, because I was distracted. No one is going to know your mistakes, unless you tell them.

My card opens up as a diagonal fold.

I hope I have encouraged you to be created and let loose of those pesky rules, that sometimes keeps our Creativity boxed up.

Let me know in the comments below your favorite trend and true random stamping trick!

Card Creations: Creating an image with another image

Hello Friends,

Welcome to another week of Heart 2 Heart Creation challenges! This week we are focusing on Card Creations. This is whatever you interpret this to mean! Perhaps it is a fancy fold, style or manipulation of a tool?

Each one of these stamps are individual, but when stamped closely together in a shape you create the illusion of an a much larger stamp.To color these adorable images I smooshed water-based dye ink onto my all purpose mat and picked up the color with my clear shimmer brush. I was able to get some shading effects with this technique and some shimmer as a bonus.
