I am up on the <a href="https://erinleecreative.com/blogs/blog">Erin Lee Creative Blog </a>today with a couple of card ideas using the new </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="https://erinleecreative.com/collections/newest-releases/products/pine-layering-stencil" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt;">Layered Pine Stencil</span></a></span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">.

stencil has so many fun possibilities. </span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">The first card I created
starts off with a blue cardstock panel. I stenciled the solid tree image onto
the blue cardstock with white pigment ink. For additional texture and shine, I
applied clear embossing powder while the ink was wet. </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

tree stencil and applied silver glitter gel paste onto the white tree. </span></p><p align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJBgRDjAs_nA-fKiMM2oD6jM3v9O0b50_maEaB8t4nEQYdIsK6szLDoqQuyUAbUHxEaldOcLxeBiXFd0iwmdHkXPgdO5IowbZjFdSPn1uFUr_xH9526NIYvzSWQaHHUS9ZOrFxSMZQJvgU/s640/Tree+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="584" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJBgRDjAs_nA-fKiMM2oD6jM3v9O0b50_maEaB8t4nEQYdIsK6szLDoqQuyUAbUHxEaldOcLxeBiXFd0iwmdHkXPgdO5IowbZjFdSPn1uFUr_xH9526NIYvzSWQaHHUS9ZOrFxSMZQJvgU/s320/Tree+1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">Once that was dry, I

Howdy!! Hope you are doing well today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a very simple card to share today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Protea Background Stamp from Erin Lee Creative for both the larger white grey stamped piece and the middle piece stamped in pink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered everything up to build the card and what you can't see....is the Prisma glitter inside those pink stamped images. It gives it such a brilliant, sparkly shimmer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Day Friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided I wanted to do a recap of some of my favorite cards that I recently made using the <a href="https://erinleecreative.com/collections/kits/products/peace-love-happiness-kit" target="_blank">Peace, Love and Happiness kit</a> from Erin Lee Creative.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this first card, I stenciled and then flipped the stencil to the other end and stenciled over it again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looks like a bunch of streamers. This is my favorite card that I made from this release. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
OK well, maybe the next card is my favorite card from this release, LOL. Again I stenciled, the shifted the stencil and used black Nuvo Shimmer Paste. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wowzers, I love the result!!</div>

The VW image reminds me of Scooby Doo. One of my all time favorite cartoons. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been awhile, my Splitcoast gallery will show that YEARS ago, I stitched on paper. I pulled the machine out and went to stitching. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally, can't forget the alcohol inks. They must always make an appearance!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was done on <a href="https://erinleecreative.com/collections/stationery-1/products/glossy-black-8-5-x-11-cardstock-set-of-8-sheets" target="_blank">glossy black cardstock.</a> I started by adding a layer of gold on the cardstock and built up colors from there. </div>

It's time for a new release over at Erin Lee Creative, welcome to the new release blog hop. Today Erin is releasing a kit called <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1561369&u=2471462&m=98523&urllink=&afftrack=">Look on the Brightside</a>. For today's hop, I am featuring a slimline (or tall card for us ole' folks) chain link card using pieces from the rainbow die and a sentiment from the Here for You Stamp set from a previous released set. I took the new rainbow die that is included in the kit and cut it twice in each of the rainbow colors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRqgOYAEqfCbWYWTLBXyK5Jct7cIxyUO0KcRNiVnYvT5WayaSuiEa8o7nJppXTjAtlggJ5DR7pINQQpJN2UNoMGwO2wDmI_6YOFjFb-VgOp4cnpP5K9U2k_2sOn8hJ4PdFaADgpE1efJhc/s1280/eZy+Watermark_30-08-2020_05-05-52PM.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1056" data-original-width="1280" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRqgOYAEqfCbWYWTLBXyK5Jct7cIxyUO0KcRNiVnYvT5WayaSuiEa8o7nJppXTjAtlggJ5DR7pINQQpJN2UNoMGwO2wDmI_6YOFjFb-VgOp4cnpP5K9U2k_2sOn8hJ4PdFaADgpE1efJhc/w400-h330/eZy+Watermark_30-08-2020_05-05-52PM.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From there, I paired two of each color together to make the links and glued only one side of the link together.

From there, I stenciled <a href="https://altenew.com/products/bubble-wrap-stencil" target="_blank">Altenew's Bubble Wrap Stencil</a>, which is one of my all time favorite stencils. I used distress ink for the stenciling. </div>

Today I am sharing a couple of cards made from one stamped panel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by blending a rainbow colored strip up the left hand side of a piece of white cardstock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped Erin Lee Creative's Rainbow background stamp in purple over the top of t he blended strip. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the panel in half after it was dry to be able to make two cards. I layered a small strip of dark purple cardstock under the the stamped panel for interest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added a popped up stamped sentiment from Concord and 9th to finish off the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am featuring a card that I created for another fun challenge site that I found called <a href="http://cupcakeinspirations.blogspot.com/2020/07/cic498.html" target="_blank">Cupcake Inspirations.</a> And look at the inspiration for this challenge....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I will say, blue and yellow are not go to colors for me, lol. There are no cupcakes required for these challenges, which is a good thing because I realized that I do not have one single cupcake in my stash {{GASP}}, I need to fix that ASAP!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I said "self, find a birthday image and go for it" because cupcakes make me think of birthdays. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ended up using this cute little bunny image from MFT Stamp Set called <a href="https://mftstamps.com/products/bb-birthday-buds?_pos=2&_sid=b99566246&_ss=r" target="_blank">Birthday Buds</a> for this card. So many adorable images. Also used the J<a href="https://mftstamps.com/products/number-jumble-background?_pos=4&_sid=6f6309135&_ss=r" target="_blank">umbled Number background stamp</a> on this card. </div>

Hello, Hello! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy to be sharing this fun card with you today. So many different AWESOME goodies use don it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <a href="https://altenew.com/products/grid-stencil" target="_blank">background stencil</a> is from Altenew. I decided that I need to embrace my distress oxides and this was a great stencil and color combo to start with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh784-q4MM7sl6yKhhlM_Bb2Tbm9bD6GSg7SvGQ-4ysq2lb5SVIfNJ7TBrKiH_eHBIdNT17JipsJzj2IJNgC3dMarTRpsSnXjUoGMn8mcmOXVsBZm3u4Z6OHDT-OtKRduvQIozH8hG7qPQO/s1600/IMG_0534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1312" data-original-width="1286" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh784-q4MM7sl6yKhhlM_Bb2Tbm9bD6GSg7SvGQ-4ysq2lb5SVIfNJ7TBrKiH_eHBIdNT17JipsJzj2IJNgC3dMarTRpsSnXjUoGMn8mcmOXVsBZm3u4Z6OHDT-OtKRduvQIozH8hG7qPQO/s320/IMG_0534.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a little stitchy, stitchy with the sewing machine for texture and then I layered on the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/CZ-Design-Wafer-Dies-THANK-YOU-czd74-Diecember-czd74?currency=USD" target="_blank">Thank You Die</a> from CZ Design at Simon Says Stamp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The final step was to add the popped up s<a href="https://concordand9th.com/collections/stamps/products/simply-said-stamp-set" target="_blank">entiment from Concord and 9th</a> over the thank you die cut. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was scrolling through IG last week and found a new challenge to participate in. <a href="https://aaacards.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">AAA Card Challenges </a>has a CAS card challenge each week. I tend to overthink things and make them too hard so this is just what I need!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the challenge to be very relaxing! Which is good because sometimes I stress when I make a cards...not good :(. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this first card, I used a set of boarder dies to emboss the card front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment and small flower are from <a href="https://mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite Things Stamp</a>s. Add just a few shaded of color on the flower with my Copics and DONE!! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVPW5dpaahcQRqr_p9gGBSBOOPZt7M0qU__WYjlbVk_hUXuA3YhGd_L80S7fs51c7AIawaeicb25snRP3U-9N7KEEpLbqgI_kcDVi8rae17WPKEv40x-2yghs7YpVe24cGTFJXxN8OPAn0/s1600/IMG_0629.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1407" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVPW5dpaahcQRqr_p9gGBSBOOPZt7M0qU__WYjlbVk_hUXuA3YhGd_L80S7fs51c7AIawaeicb25snRP3U-9N7KEEpLbqgI_kcDVi8rae17WPKEv40x-2yghs7YpVe24cGTFJXxN8OPAn0/s320/IMG_0629.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This second card features embossing on the card front with a <a href="https://mftstamps.com/collections/stencils/products/small-brick-wall-stencil" target="_blank">Small Brick Wall</a> stencil from My Favorite Things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then used the same stamps for this card. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDAt6L86OCaofVcW7j0RIHsQ9Q6QOg86ljrJesP_40qxggiFRMNYSzvUeC3QIuGWvL-I1-HQnBUlfjyy8ITatYfVfOFhX66x6235rR2yTk4v-CP359MuAXl5VKWxz9xeDs0hbFPIMs3J2/s1600/IMG_0631.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1560" data-original-width="1448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDAt6L86OCaofVcW7j0RIHsQ9Q6QOg86ljrJesP_40qxggiFRMNYSzvUeC3QIuGWvL-I1-HQnBUlfjyy8ITatYfVfOFhX66x6235rR2yTk4v-CP359MuAXl5VKWxz9xeDs0hbFPIMs3J2/s320/IMG_0631.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found that I wanted to keep making these simple cards with the same two stamps BUT I stopped and moved on to other projects. It was definitely a breathe of fresh air to make these. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I have a card that I made using this weeks <a href="https://mftstamps.com/blogs/news/wsc498" target="_blank">MFT Sketch Challenge</a> </div>

Hello Again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am sharing a card made with a gorgeous stamp from <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/botanical-beauty-background/" target="_blank">Taylored Expressions.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first used alcohol ink on the paper to created the colored background. Once dry, I used my Xstatic bad and then stamped the floral image with Versamark ink. I used white embossing powder to make the image standout against the alcohol ink. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Howdy Blog Friends!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a few creations to share with you that I have put out on other social media recently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is an alcohol ink background card with bright bold rainbow colors. The Hello Die is from <a href="https://erinleecreative.com/" target="_blank">Erin Lee Creative</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the applicator tips on the ink bottle to put the alcohol ink on the paper in a line then blew the ink out with a puffer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next card uses foil and another fun smiley face from the new Peace, Love and Happiness Kit from Erin Lee Creative. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not have any Deco brand or Minc products so I tried Liquitex Matte Gel with the stencil. I let it dry and then ran foil and the card front through the laminator. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not bad for a first try!! </div>

Hello Again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I am featuring my take on this week's CASE(E) this sketch challenge. Funny thing is that I looked at the sketch and then did not sit down to work on it for a few days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I sat down, I did not look again, until I was done. So today, you get my interpretation if the sketch challenge, LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the sketch.</div>

Hello Creative Friends!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to play around with a technique that Jennifer McGuire featured on a<a href="https://youtu.be/9nDsgzKWKI0" target="_blank"> video</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use the <a href="https://erinleecreative.com/collections/newest-releases/products/protea-background" target="_blank">Protea Background stamp</a> from Erin Lee Creative with this technique. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Distress Ink for the color and a mister with water and Perfect Pearls. </div>

I'll be honest and thus lean into being vulnerable. I live in central, almost rural, Kansas. I have always said that I am not racist, but honestly I have never known the term anti-racist until now. I can guarantee that I have made mistakes, said and done the wrong things and been seemingly non-supportive as I lived like an ostrich with my head in the sand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My promise is to learn and find ways to do better and to be more supportive to People of Color. Although this is blog hop is a very, very small gesture, I feel it is a start.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A small one but a start in the right direction. </div>

Hello! Soooo... I don't tend to be an impulse buyer. I deliberated for probably a year until a recent purchase of stamps. I'm generally very intentional to make sure everything can be used over and over. It must be stress (that's the best I got, lol)...but last week I made 3 impulse purchases. {{gasp}}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good news is I am going to get lots of mileage out of this purchase from <a href="https://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Inhale_Exhale_p/j3s-19-311.htm" target="_blank">Paper Smooches</a>!! This is a favorite sentiment where I work and the others in the set just as awesome. Paired with fun colors from <a href="https://shop.catherinepooler.com/collections/ink" target="_blank">Catherine Pooler Inks</a> and its just happy, happy, happy!</div>
