Last Technique for January

This card took the most amount of work. I combined to techniques into one, plus the piece where we stamped "Timber, I have fallen for you!" is another technique all on its own. The background is the technique. We used the largest acrylic block and inked the block with the ink pad, leaving blank areas, but not too much. Then spritz with water and stamped a piece of watercolor paper, smooshing it to blend it all together, filling in any "white" areas. Then if needed blotted with a paper towel and used a heat tool to speed up the drying. After that we ran it through the wood embossing folder.

Don't tell my husband, but this is his Valentine card this month. Now I have to come up with a birthday card! His birthday is a week later!

January Second Technique

This next technique, I got the idea from fellow demonstrator Dale and can't remember where I got the card sample idea from. This is basically fold your card in half, then cut the front in half and punch a circle halfway in and use the next size up for the layer.

January Technique Class

Ok, here is the first technique we did this month. The first one we used the new butterfly framelit and one of the nesting framelits for the bottom of the orange piece of cardstock. This technique was one we did before (only using a part of a framelit. The other was using fabric softener sheets.

 This next technique, I got the idea from fellow demonstrator Dale and can't remember where I got the card sample idea from. This is basically fold your card in half, then cut the front in half and punch a circle halfway in and use the next size up for the layer.

Hope you enjoyed the techniques this month.

Travelling

Well I've been on the road for a bit and headed back out. My husband and I bought a house on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and we spent last week (8 days) down there cleaning and doing demolition work. I did the cleaning, he demolished! It's a nice ranch with a dock. I didn't get much time to enjoy the view, but once it's done, I will. We will be also doing weekly rentals, so if you're looking for a vacation spot, I've got one. We still have a bunch of work. Some we'll do ourselves and some we're hiring. So look for some stamping week specials for getaways to Virginia! We came back a day late because of the snow storm we had here on Saturday and I didn't have my computer to do updates and the internet connection wasn't good. So that is something to get fixed as well. Next I'm headed down to Orlando to go to Stampin' Up! Leadership. I was suppose to head out today but the airline cancelled the flight because of the blizzard that didn't happen. So now I have a flight tomorrow afternoon, trying to get something earlier if possible. I've had so much going on before I left for Virginia I didn't get a chance to schedule any posts. So here is one and if possible I'll get something done before I head out again. I want to be ready just in case I get an earlier flight.  I'll do the weekly deals for tomorrow and if possible I get up my technique cards from this month. So I'm leaving you with a couple of pictures of the new house.
