ASL Love

Friday, February 2, 2018

Hello! TGIF! I just added a ton of beautiful projects to the Friday Inspiration File Week #348. Check them out.

I ordered this amazing ASL Love set by Altenew and it came just in time for me to make a birthday card for the student I interpret for. Her favorite color is teal so I chose this trio of inks by PTI. They are linked below.

For the stamped background I alternated the three colors for each letter in her name stamped over and over again. I layered on top a panel with her name and the Happy Birthday sentiment. A little "ILY" hand on the back is the finishing touch.

I gave her the card today and she was thrilled to see the ASL Alphabet on there! Have an awesome weekend!

Hello! How are you? I just received a WPlus9 package containing the new release products! I can't wait to show you the new products, but I can't just yet. Peeks will start in the next few days!

Until then I have this fun watercolor card to share with you. Just some simple heat embossed images on watercolor paper. I dropped in some color here and there using distress inks. I let the colors dry a bit but then dapped up the rest because I wanted the colors to be quite light.

I used the Essentials By Ellen stamp set called Oh Frappe. I also white embossed a few coffee beans on some vellum and tucked that behind the main panel.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello! Happy Sunday. It's a rainy, dreary day here today. I don't mind though. Yesterday was warm{ish} and we spent most of the day outside with Piper. Today is the perfect day to stay in, craft and bake. I haven't baked in quite awhile. I was detoxing from all of the holiday sweet treats, but I think today I'll bake something!

I made this cute, simple valentine the other day. I love this adorable panda offering some heart shaped balloons.

I LOVE the sentiments in this WP9 Knock Knock Valentine set.

I really like this black Recollections cardstock from Michael's. Its a dark black, 110lb. weight and inexpensive. I used to love their white too, but for some reason now its actually grayish compared to older packs. I liked being able to run out the store if I was getting low rather than paying and waiting for shipping. Oh well, it was good while it lasted! My favorite whites are Neenah Solar White, PTI Stamper's Select White or WP9 White Cardstock.
