Avery Elle Thank you.

Hey everyone! Jessie back with another card for you all. 

I started with a piece of Ranger Watercolour paper cut to 4x5 1/4, and use Distress Ink in the colours, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, and Squeezed Lemonade. I put the inkpads on a ranger craft sheet and sprayed with water, after drying the first layer of colour, I tapped the piece back in the water to add some further layers, increasing the watercolour effect. 

Then on a white panel I stamped the Thank you sentiment from the Avery Elle set, the "for everything" is from another set in my stash. 

I then made a bow on the front of the card using May Arts Turquoise Twill Stripes ribbon. Added a few enamel dots from my stash in similar colours, put it all on a white card base and the card was complete! Quick and simple. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugz,

All thing that Glitter From Jessie Banks

Hey everyone! Jessie here, with another card for you all. This time I am featuring the Tim Holtz Distress Glitter. 

I started with a piece of white cardstock and the Tim Holtz Rays stencil, this is my absolute favourite stencil! I used a pallet knife and some modeling paste through it to give it some dimention and something for the glitter to stick to . I then put Mustard Seed distress glitter on the bottom half, and Picked Raspberry on the top. 

I colored some wood veneer from my stash (I think they are from studio calico) using Distress Paint in Mustard Seed and Picked Raspberry. I die cut a lable using a Spellbinders Die (Fancy Lables 3) and white embossed a Happy Birthday Sentiment that fit on the die cut. I then colored that die cut and the back pannel with Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers.  I threaded white string from my stash through the ends of the die cut and wrapped them around.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card. Happy Crafting.

I finally got a few minutes to add a comment on here. I am so thankful for Carol. She manages to keep you all informed and up to date on what's happening!

Well we finally got our Tim Holtz order in. It is so hard to order all this beautiful stuff at the CHA and then wait months and months to get it in...it is really torture. I took a few minutes to cut out the Bird Cage and sprayed it with the new Maya Road Mists. I haven't done anything to these pieces but give them a quick spritz and look how gorgeous they are. And they dry right away! I covered the little holes at the bottom of the cage with pearls and nail heads just to save time... but you can use the Garment Pins to hang charms or whatever to the bottom. You will have loads of fun with this die (or die cuts).

I have gone on so about the Bird Cage that I have completely neglected the other magnificent dies we got in. The Tattered Flowers are to "die" for and the Hanging Sign is so vintage!!! The Ticket strip is a "must have". Just think of all the fun things you could stamp on them. Make them up for your kids and have them redeem them for rewards or favors....Then the Lock and Key...oh that one is so yummy...I think I will cut that one next!

Carol has really been busy on the kits. The new MME kit promises to be a huge hit. She pull out all the stops for that one...wait till you see all the embellishments that she has packed into that kit! Not to mention that we use Swarovski crystals for our Bling...the sparkle is worth the extra!!! She will have it up shortly...you won't be disappointed.

This weekend I will try to post a quick box demo using the Martha Scoreboard. Oh ! How I love that thing...you will too when I show you how fast you can make a box. Carol already showed you and easy envelope...we'll have you turning out projects like a pro ...it just takes a quick practice and some basic guidelines and you can make a box or envelope to fit anything!!!

thanks for stopping by...Barrie
