Thankful

  Good Morning! 

I just wanted to share the news that I have been published in the 

Fall 2023 Creative Scrapbooker Magazine  

You can find this pretty little Thankful card on Page 128.  

I'll also be entering this card into the

Simon Says Monday Challenge, Favorite Technique.

Hands down, this is absolutely one of my most favorite techniques!

"Eclipse Cover Plate"

  Pinkfresh Studio Daisy Wreath Stencil.  

PTI Counting My Blessings, Thankful die, layered 3 times.

Poppystamps Lattice Cover Plate die.

  Distress Oxide inks in; 

Antique Linen, Cracked Pistachio, Fired Brick, Fossilized Amber, 

Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo.

Tuxedo Black ink.  

Gina K Designs Gold Embossing Powder.

  Stampin' Up! Country Home stamp set.

  

This is such a beautiful technique.

Stencil or stamp the image once and then

die cut with any Cover Plate.  

Piece everything back together like a puzzle.

I like to add even more dimension and add foam tape

beneath the Cover Plate die cut.  

You can see the details here in this VIDEO.  

My HACK is to only create the image once, 

no need to double your efforts.

Love that Wreath!

In (almost) the same colors to match the cards,

I created some Glue Bottle Stopper Toppers.

These fit perfectly for the Bearly Art Glue Bottles.

I prefer the 4 ounce bottle.

I used to bead and make jewelry before I found card making and became addicted, so I do have most supplies on hand.  I will say my Jump Ring Game ain't what it used to be though and warned the recipients these may fall apart!  lol

Here is mine in colors of the sea, blues and greens.

I also bought extra Stainless Steel Pins from Bearly Art for the dangles.

I lost one pin, so that is why I created this!  

So far I have been able to find it!  HA!
