Green Birthday ( Skipping Stones Design ) 11-21-17

Hello and welcome back, I hope you are doing well and getting ready for Thanksgiving. I have two birthdays in the month of November, my husband Bob ( a Big Happy Birthday to my King ) and my 1st born Jessica who was born on the same day as her father ( a Big Happy Birthday toooooo you ). So needless to say I am busy making Birthday Cards. Today I am working with the Green Birthday stamp. This stamp set has some funny sayings, and I love working with stamp sets like this because it is almost anything goes.

I have a card base that measures 4 x 5 1/2, and a layer that measures 3.50 x 5. I took the topper and stamp the recycle symbol all over the background.

I then colored the cup cake with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers.

After looking at everything I decided to put a piece of green card stock behind the recycled topper, so the card has a base plain green background 3.75 x 5.25 and then the recycle topper.

After I got finished with the sentiments I wanted them to have a little color so I used Spectrum Noir Alcohol marker LG2 and just gave it a little green to pull the card together.

At the end I put a Happy Birthday and a recycle sign on the inside.

If you have any questions please let me know and have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving. Happy Crafting.

"Hebrews" Coffee Card ( Skipping Stones Design ) Oct 16th Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Skipping Stones Design's October blog hop. For my card I have decided to use the Coffee stamp #2 . I colored the coffee cup with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers . This is a Digi stamp so after printing I did wait 24hr before coloring with the Alcohol markers to make sure the ink is completely dry, so I do not have any mixing of the printer ink with the alcohol marker colors. I had a great time creating this card. Please scroll down for pictures, supplies ( link's ), a how toooooo, and a tutorial at the end.

Working with the Gemini Apple Core Dies

Tips for sewing Apple Core Shapes..... This will go on Sale on HSN January 24th., they will go fast make sure you get yours. 1st you will have one that will go sideways which is the Con-Caved Core and you will have one the will be long ways. You always want the con-caved Apple Core on top when sewing together. So my Con-caved apple core is the red strips, fold in half and press a seam. The yellow one fold in half long ways and press. Put right sides together and place the pressed seam on top one an other and pin. This is very important to sew straight. Now match up and pin both outside corners. The fabric will be buckled like the picture and that is fine. It should look like this when taking to the sewing machine. Below is a little video on sewing Apple Core Shapes.
