<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! I hope you're enjoying this month's Stamping Techniques Blog Hop - so many wonderful projects with the Chalkboard technique, a classic!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a photo of my project:</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Chalkboard technique is one of my favorites - I adore projects done with this eye-catching, yet simple style. This time, I'm thinking ahead to Christmas time and went with a more contemporary style. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My Basic Black card base is cut at 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", folded in half to make a 4 1/4" square card. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I trimmed 1/2" off the front right edge so I could add the strip of Silver Glimmer Paper at the end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are several different ways to do this technique, I opted for the simplest - rubbing the Embossing Buddy across the black cardstock. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seriously, it's that simple. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngkFN8lDOmIQHKLTKlFXwNFyyRgZhy0HPN8uVKQsv_9mSWBk4cqcKW9AbvYjwKCyxnRrIlQJG_LSAEU1rRaFNYRED0lAkLdoSZC5-HUjfusJo30XixIYj3U8eJQ1rAyB_oHTV38yek_Dd/s1600/IMG_0057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngkFN8lDOmIQHKLTKlFXwNFyyRgZhy0HPN8uVKQsv_9mSWBk4cqcKW9AbvYjwKCyxnRrIlQJG_LSAEU1rRaFNYRED0lAkLdoSZC5-HUjfusJo30XixIYj3U8eJQ1rAyB_oHTV38yek_Dd/s640/IMG_0057.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before I do any stamping, I drop the Embossing Buddy onto the cardstock which produces a small dust cloud of white 'stuff' - whatever it is that's in that little sack. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, I rub the Embossing Buddy around on the card front, tapping at times to produce more dust. It gives a look just like a schoolroom chalkboard. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped my images in Whisper White Craft Ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder. (Full confession here - my white embossing powder is a little old and isn't as brilliant as I'd prefer - you may have different results depending on the white level of your powder.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tip #1</b> - Don't be shy about adding more dust from the Embossing Buddy once the images are embossed. Sometimes it takes a few applications to produce the chalky finish you are looking for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tip #2</b> - Be sure to have clean, oil free hands when doing this technique. Any oil or grease (hand cream for example) on your hands will come off on the cardstock and you WILL see the spots. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I completed my card today with a greeting stamped in Versamark and embossed with Silver. I layered it onto a piece of Silver Foil Paper, using Stampin' Dimensionals under each layer. The layers were cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and my Big Shot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The ribbon side tie is the Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon simply wrapped around the card front and tied off in a knot. I added some Clear Rhinestone Jewels for a sparkly finishing touch. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really hope you give this fun and easy technique a try for yourself! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So, I've made a few discoveries since I've gotten back to blogging. Such as discovering some creative projects that I'd uploaded into blog posts and never shared! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've got about 5 or 6 projects just hanging out in 'draft' status, and even though some of the products I used may not be available anymore, I figured a good idea is always a good idea, right? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First up is a scrapbook page I created from my daughter's 2nd Senior Portrait session. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like I said, it's been awhile - she's a sophomore in college now. Lol!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This page was created obviously when SU! still was in partnership with Becky Higgins and Project Life, but happily, we still carry a solid Variety Pack of 12" x 12" Photo Pocket Pages for the Memories and More line. And I 💖 the Black Faux Leather Album that we carry! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Even better news is that there are still some of the Pocketful of Cheer Refill Kits available to any of you that are Paper Pumpkin subscribers. 😃 I've linked the photo to my website for you. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Even though we did the photo shoot on the outdoor ice rink in our town - on a FREEZING cold day in February, the colors of this kit were perfect for the photos. Bright and cheery like her sweater and the beautiful Winter sky. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Even though Emma has retired from skating (knee injuries don't mesh well with collegiate skating...) she still has her skates and her love of the sport. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and so far, she's kept the boyfriend too. LOL! 2 years and counting...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to point out the green pearl embellishments. I actually colored those with a sharpie marker to make them match, but it was a pain to get the right color depth. Now that we have Stampin' Blends, it'll be much easier to customize your pearls and rhinestones. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I know you're wondering what stamp set I used for the stamped pieces - and I honestly don't remember. I'm old and that was a LONG time ago! It was probably the stamp set that came with the Pocketful of Cheer Paper Pumpkin kit, but you can use whatever stamp set you like on your page, right? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello and welcome! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm happy to share the news that I've been invited to join a fun blog hop comprised of some stellar Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe. The first Wednesday of each month, we'll be bringing you creative ideas that focus on simple, basic techniques; how-to's and design basics. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Creativity is for everyone - no matter how seasoned a crafter you may be! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This month, we are focusing on the use of the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. These markers are really wonderful coloring tools. They make it easy to achieve realistic looking images with rich depth of color</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You should know first of all that coloring is NOT my specialty! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've always said I am a lazy stamper, and I've always gotten frustrated when it came to coloring - lets just say I didn't think too highly of coloring books when I was growing up. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT...I've had a blast playing and coloring with the new Stampin' Blends! Being able to add layers of color without making a big, blotchy mess is awesome and the Blends make it super easy. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this card project, I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, the recommended ink for use with the Stampin' Blends. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tip #1</b> - <i>allow to dry completely before coloring in the image to help prevent bleeding OR do what I did and heat set the ink using your Heat Tool. (I'm lazy AND impatient! Ha!)</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, I just chose my colors and began to color in the images! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the little piggies on the background piece, I colored their bodies with the Ivory Skin Tone blend, mainly because I couldn't find my Crumb Cake ones - grrr....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I deliberately added more color on their bellies and in a few splotches on their bodies -they are pigs after all. Ears and noses and tails and hooves were colored in with the light Pink Pirouette marker.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tip #2</b> - <i>I learned pretty quickly to NOT color all the way up to the inside edge of the image. If you do, you risk the ink color spreading beyond the edge. If you look really closely at my card, you can see evidence of that, but it wasn't awful and I was like "It's handmade, might as well look like it!"</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the wings, I colored even further back from the edge, but this was to leave more of the white showing on purpose. I did add some Clear Wink of Stella to the wings for some shimmer, but it's hard to photograph well - it's there though, promise!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The focal piggy is colored in entirely with the Light Pink Pirouette blend adding more color where you see darker patches. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Honestly friends, I'm never gonna be a master watercolorer, but the Stampin' Blends helped me create a sweet card with some pretty realistic colored images - and if I can do it, anyone can!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Plus, it made me smile, which is the most important thing anyway, right? :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tip #3</b> - <i>I cut my stamp apart into two images, separating the greeting from the piggy image. That made it easier for me to stamp the piggy randomly. Don't be afraid to customize your stamp images - they're yours! Make them work for YOU!</i></span></div>

Hello friends -<br />
Yep, it's been a while hasn't it?<br />
Almost 20 months since I've met you here on this blog. So, if you're reading this now, thanks for sticking around.<br />
Maybe you wondered if I'd ever get back.<br />
To be honest, I wondered that too.<br />
Depression is cruel, heartless and destructive. And there were times since my Dad passed in 2010 that it came close to taking everything from me. Especially these last 2 years.<br />
<br />
I know, most of you would say that you never would have guessed, and that's part of the cruelty of depression.<br />
Most of the time you can put on a happy face, a 'put together' front; enough to fool people anyway. And when friends and family see you leading what appears to be a 'normal', 'happy', 'blessed' life yet you still manage to hurt and disappoint everyone, it leaves them wondering if you even care.<br />
<br />
The honest answer is that you want to...desperately...but the depression demon whispers that it doesn't matter anyway; that no one cares about you; that they are better off without you; that you are a fraud; a failure; and worst of all - worthless.<br />
All lies, but so easy to believe when you are always tired and sad and alone with your pain. Because depression tells you to keep it hidden, that no one will understand anyway and really, no one cares.<br />
More lies, but you listen and obey because it's all you have the energy to do some days.<br />
<br />
Sadly, I do know that many, many of you can relate - and have lived to tell the tale.<br />
We are surviving depression.<br />
Surviving and making a sometimes minute by minute choice to walk free.<br />
If this is you, please know that I am applauding you right now - cheering for you - because I know. I just know. And you know, and are cheering me on as well.<br />
<br />
And if you are suffering silently even now, please know that you are loved. That you matter. You have value and worth and you can survive too. That my friend, is the truth.<br />
<br />
So....what does this all mean for me creatively?<br />
I'm not sure - keeping it real here - I don't want to promise something I'm not sure I can deliver. Those days are, for now, in the past.<br />
But I've missed crafting. Missed creating. I've missed the color and cardstock and ink and images and frou-frou that all combines to make something that makes someone smile.<br />
So I think I'll just focus on that - making pretty things to make you smile.<br />
I want to focus on what I CAN do, not what I can't.<br />
Deal?<br />
<br />
Today's little thank you card is one of the SU! Whisper White Note Cards w/envelopes. I was playing around with the new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers - just practicing since I'm SO not a color-er. It turned out pretty cute.<br />
<br />
And it made me smile.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Last week, many of my stampin' friends gathered in locations all over the globe for the Stampin' Up! On Stage events. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend this time - just way too much going on here with family - BUT, my swaps made the journey and were traded out for some gorgeous cards! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Two of our awesome Advisory Board Alumni planned a group dinner and card swap and I was so happy to be able to participate long distance. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The theme for our swap was Thank You cards - which we all need. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last month, I needed to create a bunch of cards for some special people so I went the clean and simple route with a touch of glam: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkozRIawLpy_nIjbrAQ5PHAkhslr1RJjQetRgf_x8pFYQ-4eK6DLpsFKdtV3dCu1QYdF6NHOJtZZ4UJDd8A4GvFtiE-dVD1Il5NJc8bYsuI5AWSyw4Gfprvfkd8IC42UVyPst476uI6dJ/s1600/IMG_0520.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkozRIawLpy_nIjbrAQ5PHAkhslr1RJjQetRgf_x8pFYQ-4eK6DLpsFKdtV3dCu1QYdF6NHOJtZZ4UJDd8A4GvFtiE-dVD1Il5NJc8bYsuI5AWSyw4Gfprvfkd8IC42UVyPst476uI6dJ/s640/IMG_0520.JPG" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The green palette was inspired by the month (March), the holiday (St. Patrick's Day), and a photo of multiple greens I saw online. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lots of great inspiration I'd say.... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again - a pretty straightforward card - 2 punches, one greeting, card stock scraps - easy-peasy! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The one trick you need to know is to adhere your center circles down first. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>When you place the others, they will hang over the edge a bit, just take your Paper Snips and trim to the edge of the card sides.</i> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, here's a supply list for you:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The best part of this card is that you can take the simple design and re-create it in any color combo, with any greeting for ANY occasion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ya gotta love multi-tasking... :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So glad you stopped by today - now, go create something fun! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have to say it - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">this card makes my heart SO happy!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's fun and sparkly and floral and layered and embellished and just super girly</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I LOVE it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdWmz9KdQW5OUDIBeEyDlDPp2tpwLXPYPdpmsdsYdB8s8EXd5Gw7w2Rnl9sjrVgAMRks5zVz1Bz2iysfuKDfnu4LK2whBwsFdiob4KajM3lYF25l1fk7rPACLnAfz9xVtsNxxU3odp0HbH/s1600/IMG_0416.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdWmz9KdQW5OUDIBeEyDlDPp2tpwLXPYPdpmsdsYdB8s8EXd5Gw7w2Rnl9sjrVgAMRks5zVz1Bz2iysfuKDfnu4LK2whBwsFdiob4KajM3lYF25l1fk7rPACLnAfz9xVtsNxxU3odp0HbH/s640/IMG_0416.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a Whole LOT going on with this card, but honestly, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it was super simple to create. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Assemble it in 'layers' - it's like building blocks:</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>a) card base; b) solid circles; c) embossed strip; d) circle rings; e) stamped circle; f) buttons; g) greeting. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Circles Framelits made it easy to cut the 'rings' - here's how I did it: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1) You need 2 Circle Framelits that are only one size difference from the other. (If you're counting from the middle of the framelit set - I used the 3rd, 4th and 5th for the two 'rings' on this card.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKduUfxag58ekOh8v53qcT56G6amXNoRftLqtWopecVpFv1wBmsd0jot3YLN4moLkduv2XBhbgZJ5wSepMGewiwFVm_Yr1oef8M9RIFabLG0wTIw70mEDeJOBU6deJ9ym01axFwK7la_2/s1600/FullSizeRender+216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKduUfxag58ekOh8v53qcT56G6amXNoRftLqtWopecVpFv1wBmsd0jot3YLN4moLkduv2XBhbgZJ5wSepMGewiwFVm_Yr1oef8M9RIFabLG0wTIw70mEDeJOBU6deJ9ym01axFwK7la_2/s320/FullSizeRender+216.jpg" width="314" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2) For my Blushing Bride circles, I used the two smaller framelits (3 and 4). I placed both framelits on the paper and ran them through the Big Shot. This created the solid inner circle and the 'ring'. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">(This photo example is on different designer paper.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I simply repeated this, using the two larger framelits (4 and 5) for the larger 'ring' and solid circle. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><i>You can create a similar look with Circle punches too. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3) The Pink Pirouette card stock strip was embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder and is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals as is the stamped floral circle. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4) The two paper 'rings' and the hello greeting were adhered with the Fine Tip Glue Pen and I used Glue Dots to adhere the buttons. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5) The twine in the smaller Vintage Faceted Button is a strand from a length of the White Jute Ribbon, pulled out and tied through the button. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a final touch, I painted the flower with the Clear Wink of Stella - such a lovely touch. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Don't ever look at a card and say "I can't do that!" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because you can! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the time, a fancy, layered card just needs to be broken down and built - think of it as legos for paper crafters. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know about you all, but I sometimes struggle with "Guy" cards. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">True story. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's not that I don't <i>like</i> creating them, but for this gal who loves all things girly, it's just hard to get in that man-style creative groove. Can you relate? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can tell you what helps tho' - having a stamp set to work with that has strong images and (bonus!) great co-ordinating graphics. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Guy Greetings to the rescue: </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This card is pretty straightforward - 3 colors, simple stamping and layering, minimal embellishments. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Keeping it clean and simple is sometimes the best way to go for "Guy" cards.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Back in February, I created a few different cards using the Number of Years stamp set that's found in the Occasions Catalog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a super versatile set and one of the things I like doing with stamps like these is collaging them on one clear block to create a custom background stamp. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's the third card I created using that technique:</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that you've seen how the background was created, the rest of the card is pretty simple. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a few tips:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1) The balloons were punched from one piece of Perfectly Artistic Designer Paper with the Balloon Punch. I just turned a couple of them over to show the different color tone on the back. The Wink of Stella clear shimmer pen was used to highlight each balloon and I added them to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2) The balloon strings are made with a single piece of White Jute Ribbon. I cut the edge off one side of a 7" piece and pulled out the individual strings, adhering them to the back of each balloon with some Fast Fuse. I tied them all together with another strand and adhered them to the card front with a Glue Dot. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3) The greeting was stamped a second time in Night of Navy ink on a scrap piece of paper. I trimmed it out with Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front, covering the Daffodil Delight image. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">He does like the color orange though, so for a designer, that's something - ya' know?!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, this new-ish, special young man in Emma's life was recently honored at his end of season sports banquet. And of COURSE, he needed a congratulations card! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And me, being the card maker in the house, I whipped out a few supplies and came up with this collage-y, semi-grungy, masculine elements filled Congrats card: </span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In all honesty, I kinda got carried away, but I really loved the end result!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There's nothing magical about the elements - the only technique I used other than collage stamping was direct to paper with the Soft Suede ink pad on the Soft Suede card stock banners. Dragging the ink pad across the card stock gave them a slight woodgrain effect. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well folks - this is it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last day of the Traveler stamp set Inspiration Series. It seems appropriate to end with a Graduation card, don't ya' think? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We're all gonna need a couple grad cards coming up soon - I know with Emma's high school graduation this June, I'll need more than a few for her friends. This card is a great one for the guy grads - and super simple to create too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg283kTzGf-VIPBzEtomQw10-Xie0IE-FrpEShJ5eHZl-vSQrrcVt0nHedJH8Pk41ruOaCE2s-4axPWMYkiJTvuWSULAlUknY0BVZxfJm1aiYoLNadJMPgTip8F_HQYjrgCIlXBbKQklXci/s1600/FullSizeRender+182.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg283kTzGf-VIPBzEtomQw10-Xie0IE-FrpEShJ5eHZl-vSQrrcVt0nHedJH8Pk41ruOaCE2s-4axPWMYkiJTvuWSULAlUknY0BVZxfJm1aiYoLNadJMPgTip8F_HQYjrgCIlXBbKQklXci/s640/FullSizeRender+182.jpg" width="498" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The style is called a 'gatefold' card because the front opens up like a gate. It's easy to achieve the fold, simply score at 2 1/8" from each end of a piece of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card stock and fold the flaps in towards the center. The focal image layers are attached to just one side of the fold. Easy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a couple tips for this particular card:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1) I stamped the suitcase in a random pattern on the front prior to dry embossing the flaps with the Modern Mosaic embossing folder in the Big Shot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2) the focal layers are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals to allow for the thickness of the ribbon. I just like it to lay right, ya' know? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3) The black layer is popped up on dimensionals too - just because. I like the depth they add to a card and tend to use them like candy...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, here's a complete supply list for you:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I probably should remind you about the soon-to-be retired In Colors.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All 5 of the 2014-16 In Colors will be retiring at the end of May. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What that means, practically speaking, for you is - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the products using these 5 colors will SELL OUT - and Soon! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just look at past years sales history to speak from experience. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My suggestion is to take a peek at what you own now and STOCK UP if there are any you will be sad to see go. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You especially want to grab a couple of ink refills for your ink pads so you can keep using them for years to come. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a little graphic to help re-familiarize you with the colors: </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's Day 3 of the Traveler stamp set Inspiration Series - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you're enjoying this set of more 'masculine' cards. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The images in this stamp set call out to my inner vintage maven, but honestly, my first thought is to go shabby-chic, romantic style with them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Creating a set of more masculine projects was a fantastic challenge! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's today's ocean liner card: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiylfixVtz7M74aGp2JwYBXcGBfRnuWEsWkrBojCTDXKP7G0aZE8wE0-46UvLP1fZYO8pjq7ys6xqlUsdMUIxEF-24uofy_2WxK8eJzq4faxD7dO_BSeU1nn5bD3kEEMwVjoLxqbcmVyhEk/s1600/IMG_9574.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiylfixVtz7M74aGp2JwYBXcGBfRnuWEsWkrBojCTDXKP7G0aZE8wE0-46UvLP1fZYO8pjq7ys6xqlUsdMUIxEF-24uofy_2WxK8eJzq4faxD7dO_BSeU1nn5bD3kEEMwVjoLxqbcmVyhEk/s640/IMG_9574.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As with the first two cards, this one is pretty straightforward stamping - except.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1) I created the inked layers on the bottom of the card base using a piece of torn grid paper and a sponge. Cover the top portion of the card front with the torn paper, exposing about a 1/4" or so across the bottom of the card. (shows darker in the photo) Sponge Crumb Cake ink all over the exposed portion. Next, shift the torn paper up and over, exposing more of the card front and shifting the torn edge so it creates a different sponged edge. Sponge more ink on the exposed card front. This will create the two-tone effect you see shown. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2) As much as I hate fussy-cutting anything, this stunning ship image was dying to be made 3-D. So, I stamped the full image on the focal card stock piece, then stamped it again on a scrap. I cut out just the larger portions of the ship with my Paper Snips then popped it up on Stampin' Dimensionals. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3) The Blackberry Bliss circle was actually run through the Big Shot in the Modern Mosaic folder, but my camera was being a booger the day I took the pics and I couldn't get it to show up in the shot. It looks awesome in person tho'! LOL!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to Day 2 of this Inspiration Series featuring the Traveler stamp set! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's card has this gorgeous steam engine image for the focal point. When I look at this image, I immediately think about all the awesome period movies I've watched over the years. In my mind's eye I can see the train station platform, the rolling steam along the underside of the train and the heroine of the story - standing on the platform, dress billowing in the breeze. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yeah....I love a good romantic tale...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but, who doesn't? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, here's today's card:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This one's pretty straightforward as far as design elements; simple layering and background stamping. The only things I can think of tip-wise are: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1) the string layered behind the two Bitty Banners is another piece of the Burlap Ribbon pulled from a cut length, maybe about 8 inches or so. I just looped it around 2 fingers and adhered it to the back of the banners with Fast Fuse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2) the Kraft card stock was once again dry-embossed with the Modern Mosaic folder in the Big Shot then sponged with Soft Suede ink to bring out the pattern. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3) the little strip of Black Glimmer paper across the bottom perfectly finished off this card. I know it's retired! But sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do - know what I mean? And besides, I'll bet you've got some stored away for a rainy day in your craft room, now dontcha? MHM.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here'a a complete supply list for you (minus the glimmer paper):</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a little while, so I think it's time for a new Inspiration Series - you guys up for that? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good! I KNEW you would be! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the next 4 days, I'll be sharing a card series that I created using the Traveler stamp set. Here's a sneak peek at the 4 cards: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first card up is done with the globe image as the focal point. And it's a friendship card for a reason. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because of SU! I have friends literally, all over the world. 10 years ago, I never foresaw that happening, but I'm oh, so glad it did! Stampers and makers are amazing people and there's an acceptance in this community that truly knows no borders. It's one of my greatest joys of my business and my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, for all of my 'international' friends - this card's for you! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You know who you are. ;)</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose a masculine palette for this series - playing up the vintage feel of the stamps. Plus, 'man' cards have always been tougher for me, so I wanted to challenge myself to create something that the guys could appreciate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The card itself is pretty basic, layering with dimensionals, but three things pop out that I should tell you: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1) the white tag is a simply collage of images. I stamped the passport and suitcases first, then overstepped the globe. Easy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2) the dry-embossed banner behind it was a piece of Kraft card stock that I ran through the Big Shot with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. I used the Triple Banner Punch to make it a banner, then sponged on some Soft Suede ink to bring out the pattern. Lastly, I curled up the ends with a Bone Folder. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3) the string for the tag is actually a strand from a piece of Burlap Ribbon. I cut the edge off the ribbon and pulled out the long strands to use as string. Pretty cool and cost effective as well!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Most of you who who have followed my creative endeavors for any time here on the blog or on social media are likely aware that my husband is a Police Officer for our local department and I am a former Police Officer from the same organization. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This past Saturday, our department, the Prince William County Police Department, experienced for only the 4th time in our 45 year history, a line of duty death of one of our officers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The murder of Officer Ashley Guindon - on her first day on the job - is heartbreaking for our law enforcement community nationwide. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Two more of our finest, Officer Jesse Hempen and Officer Dave McKeown, were critically injured during the shooting as well and are currently recovering from their injuries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you who may not be familiar with the details, here is a link to the press release by the PWCPD: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.pwcgov.org/government/dept/police/pages/line_of_duty_death.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Line of Duty Death of Officer Ashley Guindon</span></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My husband is part of our department's Peer Support Team - uniquely tasked with counseling and advising the officers and staff of the department in times like these. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a hard place, absorbing the hurt and heartache and anger that is the natural response of all affected. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've absorbed his real-life heartache as he shares with me his own sadness and his concern for our Blue Family. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've taken in as well, the news coverage and punditry of those outside the line - all trying to make sense of the senseless - an impossible task, even for those of us inside the line. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've reflected on my own history with the department, turning over memories again and again in my mind of times when things could have taken a deadly turn. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It makes you catch your breath sharply when you allow yourself to think of what, but for the grace of God, could have been.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As an artist, I turned to what I know best, my craft, my outlet to express some of the emotions that have been coming in waves these past 48 hours. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Truly, for some things, there are just no words. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday, March 1st, we will pay our last respects to Officer Guindon and thank her for her service and ultimate sacrifice - paid on our behalf. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Thin Blue Line will continue to stand strong in your honor.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Please pray for us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pray for our Blue Family. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our Brothers and Sisters in Blue who guard over us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not just the Prince William County Police Department, but ALL Law Enforcement Officers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Never forget that they go where others will not. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They defend the defenseless and stand up for those who cannot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And at times, they are called to pay the greatest price </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for the least of us all. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Great is the cost of a devoted heart, sworn to protect and serve.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes it all starts with a scrap of card stock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There was a little square of card stock laying on my studio table that I'd cut a leaf from for another project. As I glanced at it for about the 100th time, it occurred to me that it would make a fun mask to create a background with - and this card was born:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved how it turned out so much that I did a live broadcast on Periscope, sharing how it was made. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Usually the Periscope broadcasts go away after 24 hours, but this time I saved the video and downloaded it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday, I shared a really sweet and simple card that used the Number of Years stamp set and I promised that I'd share this one today:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And if you follow me on Periscope, you got to see the demo of how I set up my clear block with the stamps in the set to make the collage background. I also created the card live for you! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love Periscope! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It allows me to stamp and create 'live' even if you're not in the same room with me. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There's a new stamp set in the Occasions Catalog called Number of Years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It consists of mostly large number stamps (awesome!), a lovely leaf spray with different flower images to choose from and a few different greetings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a great stamp set when you need to create a specific age or date or year card. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But then, what do you do when you want something more generic? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, here's an idea - make a background stamp with it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's the card I created:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuBoCBcZjWBmUi5eWdljG6cWMGYnNz9W2_fAoU-FZy0mPaCp9lbC55hTxbOuW4QD-ZB13KHC0JnjHnH1IbsRF3bnyWmhK3Cg_s3CUwxg_IZ0jwvL9_07QoexfejUYOwiV0Ckr8B22pT6eh/s1600/IMG_8064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuBoCBcZjWBmUi5eWdljG6cWMGYnNz9W2_fAoU-FZy0mPaCp9lbC55hTxbOuW4QD-ZB13KHC0JnjHnH1IbsRF3bnyWmhK3Cg_s3CUwxg_IZ0jwvL9_07QoexfejUYOwiV0Ckr8B22pT6eh/s640/IMG_8064.JPG" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And here's how I set up my stamp:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUNkN90wPJ5QbANmjDc2mY63U-yb-9xrcEBgVv8aAgOjVmaBMYfrBtJOPyeLovNZg2P66gRgcv1vDuEUh6DPS6XSTQlMJHx0-0aUuArNjmGqa4sJh3RLNUhBeZ0KzYCUAKpyrH55l1zKO/s1600/IMG_8067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUNkN90wPJ5QbANmjDc2mY63U-yb-9xrcEBgVv8aAgOjVmaBMYfrBtJOPyeLovNZg2P66gRgcv1vDuEUh6DPS6XSTQlMJHx0-0aUuArNjmGqa4sJh3RLNUhBeZ0KzYCUAKpyrH55l1zKO/s400/IMG_8067.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the things I love about the photopolymer and clear mount stamps is the ability to arrange multiple stamps on one clear block to create my own designs. This technique is especially fun for making background images! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever tried doing this? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The card I created is really simple and one you can re-create in just 10 minutes or less!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Night of Navy card base is a standard 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" folded to make a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Soft Sky layer is 4" x 5 1/4" as is the Whisper White panel on the inside. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I stamped the floral spray on a scrap of Whisper White and punched it out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The greeting was stamped on more scrap and hand cut with Paper Snips. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Night of Navy Ribbon banner is about 14" of ribbon, casually adhered to the back of the circle, popped up on dimensionals. </i></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<br />
