Crop days are always lots of fun at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store and Scrap-A-Latte! I love getting to see everyone! Linda, Lisette and Susan were all working on their Holiday cards! I managed to get two cards made as well! Have I mentioned the randomly flat tire that I get on my car from time to time? Well, my Dad took the tire and got it fixed yesterday morning! It turns out that there was a nail in it since probably about two weeks after I got the tires last year! Crazy that it didn’t go flat all of the time but it’s fixed now! After work I stopped by Heather’s, she was going to the Fire Department Christmas Party with Geroge and needed a little outfit advice! From there I went to my Parent’s to have dinner with them and Taylor and after that I made the mistake of turning on the TV and got sucked into two movies! I had stuff to do but today is always a good time to get that done! LOL! It’s also day two of the Crop, another fun day! 😀
One of the cards that I worked on yesterday is what I have to share with you today! The base is Neenah Solar White 100lb Card Stock with the front covered in a piece of Tropical Sea. I stamped the mittens from the Hero Arts Holiday Mittens Photopolymer Stamp Set in Black onto some Solar White 80lb using my MISTI. Next I took the snowflakes and stamped them in Tide Pool to fill in the empty spaces around the mittens and adhered the panel to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. The mittens are then heat embossed onto another piece of Tropical Sea with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder, the string onto some Chinese Red, I die cut the one on the right along with the string and cut the one out on the left with my Scissors. My greeting is from the Hero Arts Little Messages Stamp & Cut Set and is also heat embossed in White onto Chinese Red. The mittens, string and greeting are then adhered to the card with 3D Foam Squares and a sprinkling of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins completes the card! I was originally going to color in the mittens which is why I stamped them in Black but changed my mind and opted to make the Tropical Sea ones the focal point instead! I hope that you enjoyed today’s card! Thank you so much for stopping but today! Have a simple Sunday! 🙂
