I loved this paper and was hesitant to cut it up, paper pieced part of it for the rabbit card. The remaining piece (not shown) is the basket weave pattern so I may use that to make some Easter baskets. Honey Bee Lovely Layers "Sweetheart Roses", Tim Holtz "Solos" for bookmark with Worn Wallpaper Scraps. I used an old technique by heating up the organdy ribbon to make it curl and shrink.

It can be easily removed and there is a hole at the top to poke through where you can thread some ribbon for hanging it up.

Had a great time and am doing it all at my own leisure following along on the videos on youtube for participants. I can be a slow stamper so I don't want to get stressed out or hold anyone else up during the live stream, so this option is perfect for me. You can buy the whole bundle for the class at Hero Arts (lots of cool things here). I will be working on some more cards and journal pages, as I was stamping, die cutting, and spraying up some extra bits here and there during the class. This is my effort on the first two projects.<p></p><div>**Celestial Symmetry Split Negative technique presented by Lydia Fiedler</div><div>**Believe by Cheiron Brandon</div>Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186517016634175397.post-59977799054792359272024-01-19T19:15:00.000-08:002024-01-19T21:45:34.729-08:00Vintage Tags<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6rOzntGdUWaHTHk7B03lnfo5hTwq4esKdllOmThhHkqmju2PNaUJ_byWhbAxMWusRIn5iB_s8vvRrCrlJQlke07xbdFayvt-JjQB0dF4VkKx3pumwlxqqfY-ZsXyHb5kylppChrMfdeUGwXtRl3KmC8vCBnSFihXr3OV0mok-eF3wLpyJw_xb3Efxz7s/s1111/01192024A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="920" data-original-width="1111" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6rOzntGdUWaHTHk7B03lnfo5hTwq4esKdllOmThhHkqmju2PNaUJ_byWhbAxMWusRIn5iB_s8vvRrCrlJQlke07xbdFayvt-JjQB0dF4VkKx3pumwlxqqfY-ZsXyHb5kylppChrMfdeUGwXtRl3KmC8vCBnSFihXr3OV0mok-eF3wLpyJw_xb3Efxz7s/s320/01192024A.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG2KBj_CMTI4mjgjHsxLAdZwYdpCwKvdR3QhmbAcTOIBoyAkQaVL5MLo3q5m5SVRZ3ifK13kDbRUKISsWmpAoiTf2UyCgdxiMVwczvfCW2nGSyCgVLOpDEbtcpytUhd3LSIoLXc7Opwvy-w95z78XmfzR3frtNQ7IPyghyjOTo7lj-zDtFobncX2iItSY/s3504/PXL_20240118_025957447.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3504" data-original-width="3072" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG2KBj_CMTI4mjgjHsxLAdZwYdpCwKvdR3QhmbAcTOIBoyAkQaVL5MLo3q5m5SVRZ3ifK13kDbRUKISsWmpAoiTf2UyCgdxiMVwczvfCW2nGSyCgVLOpDEbtcpytUhd3LSIoLXc7Opwvy-w95z78XmfzR3frtNQ7IPyghyjOTo7lj-zDtFobncX2iItSY/s320/PXL_20240118_025957447.jpg" width="281" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Trying some new things in the new year, this one using all Tim Holtz.

The dies are small so you want to get them all sorted into the shapes that go together before you start cutting and assembling. Dies are Tim Holtz "True Love Colorize made with an assortment of textured card stocks, red and silver foil stock, glossy accents, and Rock Candy glitter.

I am already starting on the next weekly <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/351932248498687">Christmas Card Challenge 2024</a> :) The first theme is Red and Gold which is a lovely combination. I am hoping to get at least 5 cards done every week for the card drives for seniors and shut-ins. I got such a late start on everything this year and wished that I could have sent out so many more. All of the new ones will be stamped with greetings on the inside and paired with envelopes, ready to be mailed out! Starting off with such good intentions :)<p></p><div>This reindeer is part of the Dancin' line from Spellbinders, the legs swing back and forth which is super cute.</div>Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186517016634175397.post-11929414406980688612023-12-27T11:29:00.000-08:002023-12-27T11:29:34.131-08:00Peeking Snowman<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYXcLSSMt1A8ReOHkqoXot89RujJOUf9XCXgNtc2oz0EkR_aK0grFNm6SGxjuQUEP1ECWryBiiAXBA0n6HucER5WMAphkEnWKEIkmIs12XyUaFX5ZwrNz0SyReyC3xtP4ibSZqJ4snDYY_G4AW1cNPbhmfCbsc4t4MV10eHMj_uoGnG7MknAgxcXs9l_Q/s1150/12272023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1150" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYXcLSSMt1A8ReOHkqoXot89RujJOUf9XCXgNtc2oz0EkR_aK0grFNm6SGxjuQUEP1ECWryBiiAXBA0n6HucER5WMAphkEnWKEIkmIs12XyUaFX5ZwrNz0SyReyC3xtP4ibSZqJ4snDYY_G4AW1cNPbhmfCbsc4t4MV10eHMj_uoGnG7MknAgxcXs9l_Q/s320/12272023.jpg" width="278" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiviWHYd0qROiVeMcVsrpFP5J3bRJTy1Xq2yoENB5lCbDmHC5xDJRZZSkv-jrpvUH3NmyLU0dJfSSbf_eXuZnhDRh05_-VfwkIFda13DwxWpxFdqGzMnMbxyFD8qiw1j5xO4W_MI7ArEcyHLQYnMogi3C-1Z6bMUv1T004Ok_jgM8gyKtFyJCLFgwhytNI/s1244/12272023a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1244" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiviWHYd0qROiVeMcVsrpFP5J3bRJTy1Xq2yoENB5lCbDmHC5xDJRZZSkv-jrpvUH3NmyLU0dJfSSbf_eXuZnhDRh05_-VfwkIFda13DwxWpxFdqGzMnMbxyFD8qiw1j5xO4W_MI7ArEcyHLQYnMogi3C-1Z6bMUv1T004Ok_jgM8gyKtFyJCLFgwhytNI/s320/12272023a.jpg" width="257" /></a></div><br /> This Peeking Snowman die from Hero Arts is a must have!
