Wow, two nice days in a row! We walked downtown this morning and
the weather got warmer and warmer. I wanted some 4 ¼” envelopes from the Paper
Pickle (our local scrapbooking store) but they didn’t have any. As the girl was
looking for them I spotted the envelope maker and decided to go ahead and buy
it instead and just make whatever size envelopes I need. Jenn said it really is
easy to work and she uses hers all the time. Sold! I’ll let you know what I
think of it once I use it. I also stopped at our church and picked up the
newsletters for the shut-ins and dropped them off on the way home….multi-tasking
even while out for a walk. Tonight is quilt guild meeting night so this
afternoon I finished off the charity quilt to take for show and share.
A friend of mine asked me if I could make some cards with
dragonflies on them. Sure I can! Here’s one of them.
The paper is all from Stampin’ Up but I don’t know the names as
it was gifted to me. The large dark banner was run through an embossing folder.
The top was die cut with my Spellbinder’s die and then bits of left over dark
paper was taped behind the cut out areas. I ran a silver ink pad over the
embossed areas, just here and there, to add a little more interest. The sentiment
was stamped and embossed with Stampin’ Up Night of Navy ink and clear embossing
powder. The dragon fly is a Dazzle from Paper Wishes (HOTP). I backed it on
white cardstock and then coloured the open spaces with alcohol makers. The dark
blue card base is the card itself.
That’s all for a sunny Wednesday,
Cheers
Violet
