You Mean the World To Me – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hello There,

Guess what?  I have masculine card for you today and I’m using another one of Stampin’ Up’s great new Valentine stamp sets, Love You More (131853).  It was only natural for me to team the globe stamp up with Stampin’ Up’s World Map background stamp.  I think it came out cute.  What do you think?

Follow My Heart – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hello There,

Well, Russ and I went to our last Christmas party of the year last night.  We have been to a few so we have been celebrating Christmas for a couple of weeks now.  With the Christmas holiday over my mind says “what’s next”.  Valentine’s Day is one thing that is next so this morning I sat down with the brand new Stampin’ Up! Follow My Heart stamp set and created this card.  I did pair the Follow My Heart set up with the Stampin’ Up! Creative Elements set and I think it turned out lovely.  I’ll be teaching this card in my January 4th card class “Love is in the Air”.  All the cards in this class are about love.  I’m so excited.  What greater topic could we focus on.  If you are in the area (West Alexandria, OH), check out my class schedule.

On another note:
I had a fabulous Christmas holiday with family and it was anything but peace on earth at my house, but it sure was fun.   You see, we had a nerf gun war after opening our gifts Christmas morning.
This is Jesse getting shot at.  He was the one that got everyone a nerf gun for Christmas, too fun.  I’m telling you my life was in danger taking the pictures.
This is Luke (right) and out Grand doggie Slug (left).  They look just a bit concerned at all the commotion, lol.  But it all settled down after about an hour.
Then things looked more like this. . . . . .
This is my son Mitch with his wife, Jamie and daughter, Hailie Jade.
********************************

I hope your Christmas Holiday was just as fun.

Until my next post. . . . . .
Huge Hugs!

Merry Christmas!

holiday-plaque.jpg

May you and your family have a safe and wonderful Christmas.

Much Love,

 

This plaque was made a couple of years ago but I still use it every Christmas.  🙂

Recipe: Painted with white acrylic paint a 11.25 x 8.5 inch bare wood plaque. After it dried I masked the snow area with a scrap piece of paper torn at the top edge. Painted sky first with Butter Pecan acrylic paint and then sponged Dark Brown acrylic paint at the top and along the horizon line. Let dry.
Stamped Lovely as a Tree trees with Black Stazon along the horizon line. Removed snow mask. Stamped Trees Three Trees (now retired) with Stazon Black and took a Black Artist Pen and extended the branches of the trees. Stamped Snowflakes with Stazon Opaque Cotton White.
Used just a touch of the Pecan acrylic paint to make shadows for the trees.
Stamped “Merry Christmas and” with Stazon Black. Stamped “Peaceful Wishes” using a small amount of Dark Brown acrylic Paint applied to the stamp with a sponge brush. The rest of the sentiment was die cut from Black card stock and glued to the board. I did not put any protective coating on this because it will be used indoors only and I didn’t know how the black cardstock would react to a sealant.
