A Fun Cactus Cutie Card. Today I am sharing a simple card using the Cactus Cutie bundle that you will love.
Hi Everyone! I wanted to share a little bit of what I've been up to since coming home from the Stamping Away retreat. I've been staying busy - though it feels like I haven't been doing much. I'm somewhat grateful that I have lots of cards that I made that I can share on Instagram...but…
It has been a busy start to 2019! After a whirlwind of events over the holidays and now I had a part time job fall into my lap! My physical therapist for the past 4 years hired me for his new clinic. I have missed working with patients! BUT-I am still crafting my heart out!…
Did you have a wonderful Christmas? We certainly did! I have a sneak peek for you today of a stamp set that launches new week. It's called Flowering Desert and I made quite a few of these cards! They were for my customers shopping in November and my team rewards. We have Old Olive Linen thread in the new catalogue
Hi crafty friends! It's Sunday, and time for another Paper Players challenge! Claire is our hostess this week with a fine sketch for us: My amazingly-creative, uber-generous, wonderful friend Michele gifted me with several of these little embossed cacti and sentiments recently, and I finally was able to incorporate a few of them into a sketch! I dug around my multitude of 6x6 papers and found a fun pattern that was whimsical enough to complement these little cuties: I used my Arteza waterrcolor pens to give them some color (and I obviously need to look a little more closely when doing it; I see some spots I missed!), and Michele very kindly diecut them for me too, so it was easy-peasy for me to layer them on a circular panel and add my sentiment! My vertical pieces were some scraps from my pile; at the last minute, I decided to add some Old Olive strips that I embossed with an Ellen Hutson die....I just love that little extra touch, it adds so much interest! And finally, to create the panel that crosses the vertical stripes, I added a little banner and some retired candy dots in complimentary colors!!! I stamped a birthday sentiment on the inside, and it's all ready to go in the mail! This was a fun sketch to use, and I know I'll be using it again! I hope you'll play with us as well! Check out what Claire and the other DT members created at the Paper Players blog! See you there! Yesterday at church, we practiced socially distancing while we cleaned 70-some globes on our chandeliers. The ceiling is 20 feet high, so it's quite a feat, requiring a very tall person on a very tall ladder perched on some platforms on top of the pews; this is John (who is NOT a very tall person), starting the process: Then our friend Ken (who IS a tall person) finished up, handing John a box of globes; he takes them downstairs (our sanctuary is upstairs) where Judy and I washed and dried them, then sent them back upstairs: All bright and shiny for whenever we are able to meet again!!

Howdy all, Welcome to my Tuesday Talk blog post as part of Art For The Mind #AFTMBH1 Blog Hop. So I'm a huge Supernatural fan and I promise not to over geekout on you in this post. However, part of my love for Supernatural is more than the TV show, it's the actors, the behind scenes team, their families and most importantly their fans. The Supernatural fans consider themselves not only a fandom but a family, because family doesn't end in blood. They are a truly amazing supportive group of people from all walks of life the globe over. They believe it's okay to talk about your struggles, in that You Are Not Alone and to Always Keep Fighting (your own mental battles, or challenges) as ways to keep going when times are tough or the darkness becomes overwhelming. This group of people even spawned their own charity, Random Acts, headed by the cast member Misha Collins (Castiel). Random Act's main fundraiser is called GISH, which is an elaborate creative scavenger hunt. As I participate in GISH, it gave me the opportunity to be part of a card exchange this last holiday season. I sent 10 card to the 10 people after me on the list, and everyone else did the same. There were many hundreds of people from all over the world involved. What I love is that it gave me the opportunity to connect with 20 complete strangers who happened to be like minded creative nerds. During the pandemic many people have been in extended periods of isolation in some truly scary times. Some have barely seen other people other than the delivery guy in months. For me, reaching out and connecting with these 20 strangers actually meant more than sending cards to close family and friends. (I try to check in more regularly with family and friends wellbeing over Covid). When I saw the Flowering Cactus Product Medley it immediately reminded me of one of my fellow GISH card exchangers, they were from Texas and had noted that they didn't have cowboys were they were but they could see Mexico from their window. As an Australian, the idea of seeing into a whole other country from your house was absolutely amazing. So I wanted to make them a card and tell them how amazing I thought it was and more about life here. To continue the new connection, a new friendship we had made simply by sending a card. The cactus reminds me of my vision of what Texas might be like, and I loved that this product medley had such a lovely suite of colours and flowers rather than a more desert colour theme. I chose to really work with these colours bring the green through with the card base and sentiment piece in Old Olive cardstock and the main panel with patching Old Olive pattern paper from the DSP in the Product Medley. The cactus features are mostly die cuts from the Designer Series Paper from the Product Medley, got to love when the dies match the paper as well as the stamp set. I also did the tall cactus in the background with a die that also embosses on the Old Olive cardstock, the embossing is quite striking. The die cuts were all layered together then popped up on Dimensionals, because a Kerrin card just isn't complete without Dimensionals. For this card I decided to challenge myself and make it a fancy fold or fun fold. It's a variation of a reverse double gate fold based off the fabolous Patty Bennett's card. However instead of simply looking up how Patty did hers or following the lovely converted to metric design from my Team Leader Michelle Mill, I wanted to create a version of it from scratch for myself. After 3 trials, I'm really happy with this design, which also nicely fits into a normal Basic White C6 envelope. The Flowering Cactus Product Medley and refil packs are available now in the new Jan-June Mini Catalogue. Click HERE to see what other fabulous products are available in the Mini Catalogue. To give the card a polished look I embossed the sentiment in white and used the cute felt flowers from the Product Medley on the sentiment as well as the design panel. Tip, use the Liquid Glue to adhere the felt flowers. Did you know with every $90 you spend in January & February you are eligible for a FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.
