I made many cards in 2014. In choosing my favorites, I noticed that each of my favorites are technique challenges. I love learning, and I will keep trying until I have perfected (or closely) a technique. So without further ado ...........
 |
| I ADORE shaker cards! This one went to my pain doctor. |
 |
| This one was made for my nephew Adam for his birthday |
 |
| The technique on this card is the importance of it - scraps were attached to plain printer paper then die cut and placed inside the same die cuts negative space |
 |
| This card was made for a card class I was taking. The word is die cut along with some starts, then a paper colored with Copics is placed behind it. I just love the effect. |
 |
| My favorite of the year. I made it the 1st day of "Stretch Your Stamps 2". I stamped a background stamp with Versamark ink, then embossed it with white embossing powder. When that was dry, I used Stampin Up ink refills on my Ranger craft sheet and painted on the colors in an umbre effect. I die cut the word out of that paper and imbedded the words that I cut out of black. |
 |
| I made this card this summer for a class and I sent it to Cora |
 |
| Trying out a new die - a few new dies! Also rainstones! I just love love love those!!!! |
 |
| Trying out a bit of vintage grunge. |
 |
| I made 20 love cards for OWH and these are 3 of them |
 |
| I adore this card!!!!!! I made it for a card class. When I watched the video for the lesson - I thought of the song "It's Raining Men!" I can be a bit weird sometimes. |
 |
| Also for a card class. The lesson was using a mask to maintain a white space while stamping. I really like how this turned out |
 |
| I made this card for a Mojo Monday blog challenge. The paper is just so wonderful. |
 |
| Yup! It's Olaf! My granddaughter loves "Frozen", and she turned 2 in August. |
 |
| Another new die set to try out! I believe I added a sentiment to these before I put them in my OWH box. It broke my heart to cut this paper!!!!!! A Stampin Up DSP beauty!
I am so glad 2014 is over. What a difficult year this has been! But Carl and I now have a baseline for awful, and anything is an improvement. This year is going to be an adventure for Carl and I, he is 100% retired. This means less money and more companionship, as we work on 43 years of marital bliss!!!!
Stay tuned for that adventure!
