Oh Ship!! Photos and a Video.

 Hello all, 

I'm know I'm a little behind on New Year's Resolutions... but better late than never, right?  One of the things I realized is that I didn't make a single video during 2021.   I really missed making videos and interacting more on social media.  I talk about it a little in my video, but I hope to get back into it this year.    

I adapted a card that I made years ago for the video.  I used make square cards, but have moved away from it because USPS charges more to send them.  I wanted to see if I could take a square design and adapt it to a A2 format.   For this card, I think it worked!

You're One in a Million- stencil paint

 Hello friends, 

I love experimenting with new products.  I couldn't resist when I found small tubs of stencil paint on clearance at Hobby Lobby.    The paint in really thick.  It looked a lot like pink butter.  I used a spatula tool to spread it over a stencil.   

It is hard to tell from the photos, but all the little hearts are 3D.  It took them about 15 minutes to dry.  All in all it was pretty easy and fun to play with.    If you do give this a try,   remember to wash your stencils right away.  The paint came off pretty easy, but if you let it dry it might be more difficult to wash off. 

Materials:

Stencil Paint--  this is similar to what I used

Spatula -- you could use anything but this made it really easy to spread

Heart Stencil-- this is very similar to the one I used

Hero Heart Dies-- This is seriously one of the best die sets I've ever purchased

The Broken World

 Hello, 

I think that encouragement cards are becoming more and more important.  I made this card before the struggle in the Ukraine, but I as I read the verse now.  It seems to be appropriate for the situation.  My heart breaks for Ukrainian people.   We are rooting for you.  

Card Details:  I used a sunray stencil to create the light rays.  After stenciling I adds fine yellow glitter to the bulbs to help them shine.
