Holiday Card Throwback #8: Foiling

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, friends, and loved ones.  For today's video, I chose another one from Gina K.  If you have her Foil Mates, or any other holiday foiling supplies, she has some really cute ideas here.  Have fun, and remember:  Only 26 more days until Christmas!  Get busy on those Christmas cards!

Holiday Card Throwback #7: Snowmen in the Forest

Here's another throwback from 2017 by Gina K.  Even if you don't have this stamp set, you probably have similar stamps in your stash.  I love mixing and matching stamps from different sets to make something fun and creative!  This video is a bit on the long side, but Gina teaches some simple, useful techniques, so I think it's well worth the time.  I hope you like it, and thanks for following my Holiday Throwback Series!

Holiday Card Throwback #6: A Simple, Elegant Tree

Hey there!  I hope you’re enjoying this stroll down Memory Lane with me. Or maybe you’re watching these videos for the first time. Here’s one I think you’ll enjoy from Gina K. It’s simple and elegant, with a touch of sparkle. This one is pretty easy to make too. Enjoy!

Sympathy Card For My Sister-In-Law

I made this card for my sister-in-law, Diana, and her family.  Her grandmother passed away last week.  

The background was made with alcohol inks, and the stamps are from the Gina K. Spring Mix set.  I used Lovely Lilac ink, by Stampin' Up.  The mini flat-back pearls, which I found to be the perfect touch on this card, are from Martha Stewart. 

I highly recommend small pearls on a sympathy card, as they soften the card's bright colors.  I don't like dark colors on a sympathy card, but I didn't want it to look like a birthday card either.  The pearls did the trick.

Please keep Diana and her family in your thoughts and prayers.  Thank you for that, and for stopping by today.

Birthday Card

This is a card that I made for a Gina K. Sketch Challenge. I cut the ovals using my Coluzzle and outlined the mailbox and the inner oval with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen by Sakura.  Happy Stamping!
