Hi everyone! LOL, as usual, the day has just gotten away from me... Cabin fever is in full effect, and I'm running out of ideas to keep my 4 1/2 year old out of trouble. I think we're going to bake some cookies in a little bit... LOL, that is, if I have everything we need in the cupboard. I just bought a dozen eggs the other day when I was able to get out in between storms, so at least that's one thing I know we have on hand. :)
I didn't have a chance to create anything new today, so I'm dipping back into my archives to find things I hadn't had a chance to post yet. I'm hoping to get some time tonight to create a card for the current Embellish challenge.
Instructions:
- Create 3 1/2" x 6" card base in teal cardstock.
- Cut 2 1/2" x 5" white piece of CS and stamp plaid pattern, alternating red and green stripes.
- Round corners of white CS, apply Scor-Tape to every other stripe, then sprinkle with glitter. Adhere to card base.
- Stamp strip of green CS with white polka dots, then stamp sentiment in black ink.
- Use corner rounder to create scallop on strip of white CS, then adhere to back of green CS.
- Adhere sentiment strip to card base.
Supplies:
Stamps - Background Basics: Retro, Polka Dot Basics 2, Giga Guidelines
Ink - Pure Poppy, True Black, Fresh Snow, Kiwi Kiss
Paper - Bermuda Bay, Kiwi Kiss, Stamper's Select White
Miscellaneous - Corner Rounder, Glitter, Scor-Tape
cool cool COOL!!!!

That's that retro background I keep telling myself I'm going to get one day . . . you tease! Very cute! And one thing that keeps 'em busy for a while is Play-Doh--much safer than eggs.
ReplyDeleteI see glitter! Love how you added it to the pattern. Hope you are keeping warm and safe from the blizzard.
ReplyDeleteCool card! Hope you found enough ingredients to make cookies and you will be able to get out of the house soon!
