ONcE More in '24 - November

The 3rd of each month is a special day here on my blog - it's the day that Kelly (the founder of this series), Barb, and I share our One Plus Twelve cards. The idea is to use the same ONE stamp (not a set) each month to create a card. Sentiments can be used, too, if we choose. 

My ONE stamp this year is a beautiful floral (a very large one) from the Altenew Pristine Peonies stamp set.

This month I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor the image. I found it to be very relaxing, although I definitely need practice on watercoloring.

I hope you'll keep an eye out on the 3rd of each month to see how I do with this ONE stamp this year. You'll also be able to see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...

Catch Up Club - October 2024

In a text conversation amongst friends in the fall of 2022, we agreed that we were all falling behind in creating with items from virtual events, kits, even groups we are in. From that conversation the idea of the Catch Up Club took formation. We decided it was time to work on those cardmaking projects that were waiting for our attention. 

On the last day of each month we've committed to sharing card/cards we have made from something we need to "catch up" on. 

You can view my original Catch Up Club post - HERE - for more details.

For this month's Catch Up Club post, I chose to complete the cards from the remaining classes of the Taylored Expressions 2022 Virtual Stamp Joy event that took place on March 12th of that  year.

Session 3

Session 4

Session 7

It should be noted that while most cards posted on my blog are my own designs (albeit sometimes inspired by others), these Catch Up Club cards are not my designs. I've completed cards designed by the class instructor, so while I've made the card, it is not original to me.

Please check out the blogs of my Catch Up Club friends, too...

TJ - Ornaments Aglow

I'm so excited about today's Christmas card. I used the Doodle Ornaments background stamp from the most recent release at Technique Junkies - check it out HERE. This truly is one of my favorite stamps in this release. 

I used two panels of the image, one in its entirety which I blended yellow ink into the center. The other one I colored three of the ornaments and then fussy cut them. I used foam dots to raise the colored ornaments up off of the other panel.

Inks (for ink blending): Taylored Expressions Mango

Papers: Recollections White and Amazon 120# Black CS
