<span style="font-size: large;">Everything outside is finally really green here in Pennsylvania and looking more like Spring! Pretty soon I'll be mowing the lawn. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With all this green on my mind . . . I was inspired to make a botanical looking card. I kept it simple with limited stamping and adding sequins for a little bling. I used a die to edge the white card stock from my absolute favorite set right now, Stitched Scallop Basic Edges 2 (MFT). I'm thinking I could use this design as a sympathy card too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am hooked on edge dies lately. I have a nice collection of ones from several companies, but my favorite (no pun intended) is from My Favorite Things called the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/die-namics-stitched-scallop-basic-edges" target="_blank">Stitched Scallop Basic Edges</a>. Not only do I love the stitched look on cards, but the little scallop edge on these dies just softens a card up . . . if you know what I mean?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Welcome back to my blog! I've been MIA for awhile due to some unforeseen life circumstances. I'm glad to be back though to share my ideas, thoughts, and creations with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://mamaelephant.com/products/just-a-note" target="_blank">Just A Note</a> . . . stamp set by Mama Elephant . . . love this set! I like to keep blank note cards on hand for no special occasion at all. In a pinch, I could put a sentiment inside for any occasion. I often though just like to send a note to someone who may need encouragement or just to let them know I'm thinking about them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I had my husband in mind for this card which is why you see so many hearts. I punched out different sized hearts out of cardstock and then applied Glossy Accents to make them raised and shiny. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

I am taking an online class, <a href="http://sandyallnock.com/product/class-copic-jumpstart/" target="_blank">Copic Jumpstart</a>, that starts later this week. The teacher, <a href="http://sandyallnock.com/" target="_blank">Sandy Allnock</a>, gave us a little pre-class assignment. She may tell me to quit after looking at this! LOL! I'm excited though to try something new. I've always wanted to learn how to color with Copics, so fingers crossed I learn a lot and get better. I'll keep you posted. </div>

There is an easy way to add color to an embossed image . . . sponging! I dabbed a sponge on a Tim Holtz Distress ink pad and lightly stroked it over the embossed image. The sponge deposits the color in various intensities which I think make it look more natural.</div>

My son went on a class trip to Philadelphia a couple weeks ago. He was gone 3 days, 2 nights. Now you understand how I got inspired to make this card. He is only 10 years old. It was torture for me . . . exciting and fun for him! LOL! He did tell me he missed me when he got home and that brought a tear to my eye. He is a sweetie!</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was skeptical, let me tell you . . . very skeptical about buying the <i>Mini Misti</i>. When it arrived, it sat on my craft table for a few days. I was hesitant, and hoping I didn't waste my money. You'll be glad to know it was worth every penny!</span></div>

The included positioning grid paper helps you find just the right positioning for your stamp before you put ink to paper.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #646464; line-height: 27.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; line-height: 27.2px;">The Mini MISTI is a tool you will treasure and enjoy for years to come.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Below is a piece of white cardstock I embossed ahead of time. It is secured in place on the foam pad with two round silver magnets provided with the Misti. I place my un-inked stamp right where I wanted it on the card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I didn't ink up my stamp enough. Ever get a partial impression?

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I just love how you can get accurate placement results of your stamps with this tool. I'm going to enjoy this even more when I'm mass producing Christmas cards. It will make it so much easier. It's great for layering on colors too or having to line up multiple images. You can even put multiple stamps all on at once on the Mini Misti to save time as well.

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Although it doesn’t feel like Spring here, it feels like it
in my craft room. I am enjoying some new papers and tools that I’ve recently
purchased. My favorite new item is <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/perfectly-plaid/products/perfectly-plaid-petite-paper-pack" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid</a> paper pack. It is
so colorful for your spring cards. I used it in the background of the card
pictured above. My other favorite new product is <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/die-namics-stitched-rectangle-scallop-frames" target="_blank">My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop Frames</a>. I also used this in the card pictured above. These dies are so
stinking cute and come in rectangles, circles, ovals, and squares. Do you need
them all? YES! Well, I’m not a fan of ovals . . . so maybe not that one. </span></div>

I am obsessed with Mason Jars. I don't know what it is, but I just love them! I love the old kind, with rusty tops. I have a collection of them I keep in my kitchen on top the cupboards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My obsession carries over into stamps with jars. Oh yes! I probably have every stamp and punch that that resembles a Mason Jar. Is there a Mason Jars Anonymous? Lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The cute little jar in my Valentine today is <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Best_Buds_p/j3s-15-248.htm" target="_blank">Best Buds</a> from Paper Smooches. I was so mad at myself for not buying the coordinating dies. I made a bunch of these and was sitting on the couch cutting it out carefully. It took so long that my husband even questioned me as to what I was doing! I CASED this card from the Paper Smooches blog post <a href="http://papersmooches.blogspot.com/search/label/Best%20Buds" target="_blank">here</a>. Mines a little different, but wanted to give credit where it's due for the design of it.</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both;">
I really like how the water in the jar turned out. I debated using a colored pencil or marker. I went for the marker. If I would have stamped it on watercolor paper, I could have tried watercolors. Now that might have turned out even better! Maybe next time. Do you have any ideas for coloring in water? I'd love to hear them. Just e-mail me <a href="mailto:tiffany369@roadrunner.com" target="_blank">HERE</a> or leave me a comment at the end of this post.</div>

I thought they were great to make a cute little Valentine with for my husband. After I made the card pictured above, I looked at it the next day and thought it might look better with a brown background behind the birds. Which one do you like better? I can't decide. <br />
<br />
I used a woodgrain embossing folder from <em>Tim Holtz</em> for the background of this card. After embossing the card stock, I sponged the raised surface very lightly with Chocolate Chip ink from <em>Stampin Up</em>. The subtle color really makes those grains pop. You could also ink up the inside of the embossing folder before embossing if you wanted something more prominent. <br />

Happy New Year! Sorry I haven't posted since November. December is a crazy busy month for me between all the birthdays in my family and Christmas. I'm back though! Hopefully you missed me. LOL!<br />
<br />
One of my New Years resolutions was to be more aware of birthdays outside my immediate family and friends. I work with many people and have regular contact with some on a daily basis. I feel bad sometimes when I don't give them a card and just send an e-mail. I guess I'm looking to give a more personal touch to others this year. Hopefully that makes sense.<br />
<br />
Sooooo . . . in order to keep this resolution, I need a stockpile of cards. Right? Right! I made a bunch of the birthday card pictured above. Simple design, easy to duplicate, and pretty. The patterned paper is <em>Painted Blooms</em> from Stampin Up. It truly looks like a watercolor painting. Each design in the pack is as gorgeous as the next. <br />
<br />
If you've made any New Year's resolutions, I'd love to hear what they are . . . especially if it's craft-related. Please leave a comment or send me an <a href="mailto:tiffany369@roadrunner.com" target="_blank">e-mail</a>. I may share some of those ideas in another post! <br />

Love, love, love the card kits I receive every month from Simon Says Stamp. It's a box full of goodies for a really great price. <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=335373" target="_blank">November's Kit</a> did not disappoint me one bit. I made this card for my husband in minutes. The kit includes an envelope full of 44 embellishments from the Pebbles Harvest Collection, amongst many other items. I used the pie and wood board on this card from that embellishment package along with the card stock, patterned paper, and stamp set from the kit. The patterned paper tablecloth look was the perfect match for my apple pie! </div>

That was the view out my dining room window Sunday morning. Snow? Mid-October . . . really? I can't complain too much. It was gone by lunch and today it's sunny and in the 60's. Now that's more like it!</div>
<br />
It seemed like the appropriate time to make a "Warm Wishes" card, don't you think? LOL! I combined Paper Smooches and Lawn Fawn stamps. I think both companies make really cute and simple styles of stamps, which makes it easier to create a card. I never seem at a loss of what to create when I pick up these brands. <br />

Unfortunately, I needed to attend a viewing today for someone who had passed. It really doesn't matter how well or little I know the person . . . I always get tears in my eyes just walking into a funeral home. No fun, right?!</div>

This sympathy card has no stamping on it at all! When I need a quick card, dies are my friends! I used from My Favorite Things the <i><a href="http://mftstamps.com/die-namics-ljd-scribble-roses-overlay" target="_blank">Scribble Roses</a></i> dies, and from Simon Says Stamp the <i><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=304348" target="_blank">with Sympathy</a></i> dies. I love to use black and white for wedding and sympathy cards. It looks clean and classic. </div>

In my last post, I indicated I made a purchase from a company I never ordered from before. The company is called <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/" target="_blank"><em>Reverse Confetti</em></a> and I love it! I purchased this darling little <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/shop/double-scallop-garland-confetti-cuts/" target="_blank">Double Scallop Garland Confetti Cuts</a> die and couldn't be happier with the results. I'm going to be using this for birthday cards, Christmas, baby cards . . . anything really festive. Love it! I can tell you that the item arrived quickly and packaged well. I highly recommend Reverse Confetti products and will be ordering again from them. <br />

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. I've been MIA since July . . . and I apologize for the break in posts. Life happens sometimes, but the important thing is I'm back and ready to make some cards!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
There have been a bunch of product releases lately . . . <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/category/Shop-Simon-Releases-Stamptember" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp</a>, <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/new-arrivals" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn</a>, <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/category_s/117.htm" target="_blank">Paper Smooches</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=100400" target="_blank">Stampin Up</a>, etc. I'm holding back from ordering, but not for long! I'm on a mission to use up what I have or donate it, which brings me to today's card. I'm not even going to include a product list because the paper, ribbon, and stamp set are all retired from Stampin Up. I cannot even recall what the name of the patterned paper is. That's how old it is! The stamp set is called <em>Nature Walk</em> and I found some sets <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Stampin+Up+Nature+Elements&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.XStampin+Up+Nature+Walk.TRS0&_nkw=Stampin+Up+Nature+Walk&_sacat=0" target="_blank">HERE</a> on ebay if you are really interested.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It's a simple card and I hope it inspires you to use up some older papers you've been holding on to. I purposely didn't stamp any sentiment on the front of the card. I just want to keep this one handy for a last minute occasion. I can easily stamp a sympathy, birthday, or get well message on the inside and ship it off. I don't create well under pressure, so having a supply of pre-made cards is essential for me. You realize . . . once you start sending handmade cards, everyone expects handmade from you. It's fun to have your own niche in life, isn't it? </div>

I am better known for my baking rather than my cooking. Although my family tells me I'm a great cook, I just don't enjoy it as much as baking. My specialty is cookies! At Christmas time, I make way more than we can ever eat . . . but give plenty away for others to enjoy.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br />
Whenever my husband travels again, he'll be getting this little card in his bag. Can you guess the product line? Lawn Fawn it is! One of my favs. The stamp set is called <i><a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/search?type=product&q=Baked+with+love" target="_blank">Baked With Love</a>.</i> What's not to love about this little set? Along with all the adorable baking themed images, it includes the sayings "baked with love", "have a sweet birthday", and "you are all i knead". I am just imagining many cute cards with this set. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br />
I used Stampin Up markers and Watercolor Pencils to color in the images. I'm not sure if I like the combination, What do you think? I typically use either all markers or all pencils on a card to make it uniform. Thought I would get crazy and mix it up a little. LOL! :)</div>

Mother's Day is fast approaching! If you are running out of time to make a card, I'm hoping something simple like the card pictured above inspires you. I love embossing folders and have a ton of them. I think they do all the work for you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For this card, I embossed about 3/4 of the card with the new Stampin' Up! <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=137365" target="_blank"><em>Spring Flowers Textured Embossing Folder</em></a><em>.</em> I punched out a bunch of little flowers in various shades of pink and overlapped them to hide the break in the paper from the smooth to the embossed portion. I added some tiny pearls to the centers that were visible and stamped my sentiment. Easy!</div>
