A little Meme fun

Image
Something a little different today! My friend  Susan    posted this meme on her FB  page and I really loved it. It made me think of the verse in Colossians (3:15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye THANKFUL. Sometimes it is hard to remember to be thankful when we are trying to remember so many other things. Sometimes we think "why Me?" when we should be thinking Thank you for your abundant mercy Lord". This card I made today I am keeping front and center on my desk - to remind me to be thankful and grateful! why not make one for yourself? A fast and fun card that will really be a blessing!  Maybe make two and send on to a friend and Bless their  day!  Thanks for stopping by! Ginny

How to get really great prints of digital stamp on your fancy papers!

Image
A few weeks ago I posted about using  my Embelli Gelli while making a vintage card.  In that post I used a "chalkboard " digi, the first print did not turn out well. The owner of the Scraperfect Company     contacted me and said, "There is a way to fix that problem", watch this video:   I have to admit, I was very skeptical about it and I was concerned  about my printer cartridge head - I did not want anything getting on it and causing problems   But I am all about doing things better so I thought I can at least watch it! So Since I have the Perfect Crafting Pouch and use and love it all the time for heat embossing, I thought well I can at least give it a try! Well, I was impressed and my cartridge was fine! I simply rubbed my pouch over the paper Before: Not too bad, but still not what I want on my cards After: I did not alter these photos in any way. so you know What I will be doing when I do these dense

Cutting and Crafting an Art Deco Card with a freebie!

Image
Todays' card has been a lot of electronic fun, I've used digital cut files and a digital image.  I am learning more every day on how to utilize my machines.  To be honest with you I really don't enjoy the whole idea of die cutting.  It seems like a lot of money to spend and a lot of storage to utilize.  Hence I used my Cricut for fancy dies and my Scan n' Cut for the stamps.  and because I use digital stamps 75% of the time this really is the way for me to go! I'll show you the card and then walk you through the process: This card was made using the beautiful papers from the Magnolia Dreams pack btyPaper Temptress   and Heavenly White 80# for printing Here is the lovely image for you to use; For my  Card base,  I used   Teal BASIS 80#   and for the  lattice background   Magenta BASIS 80# The SVG file came from Garcielli Designs also part of the Magnolia Dreams collection   I set my knife on my Cricut explore to the first
