inspiration station challenge 84 ag with inspiration photo below green shoes feet flowers 5 4 on the homestead here in florida like the rest of you we have been experiencing strange weather here in central florida an early winter blasted its way through last autumn bringing unusual freezing temps down in the low 20s the farmers had a rough time of it then we had early hot weather this spring breaking records with the 90s in march do you know what a staghorn fern looks like ours were a good 6 8 feet wide when the freezes hit this is what happened after the awful blizzards made their way to florida this is the east part of our front pasture coated in ice the grass matches the hues found in the hanging spanish moss and the gray dirt of the drive way coming up from the gate normally all that gray stuff is bright green west front pasture i know these scenes are trivial compared to what most of you endured this past winter nevertheless it severely impacts the wildlife especially migrating species the environment and economic endeavors for the state hoping you are doing well this spring i am completely homebound except for doctor appointments wishing you beauty love and

spellbinders st patrick s day starving artistamps tutti designs woodware stamps tuesday january 13 2026 friendship is golden slim line cards happy new year friends before my six cards are shared may i ask a big question has anyone heard from carol hurlock she is a fantastically gifted crafter artist who is quite unique and prolific in her endeavors she is awe inspiring carol stopped posting in 2022 during pandemic she is such a gracious kind beautiful soul who is wonderfully talented in every way and i miss her please let me know if you have heard anything thanks hoping your family is safe and healthy enjoying all the good things life has to offer yesterday at dusk we had several dancing deer skylarking across the front pasture it s always fun watching them especially when frolicking is the main activity at the moment slow and steady eventually gets to the finish line right today s share is six skinny cards 8 5 x 4 using anna griffin dies in the background and an assortment of patterned papers and vellums three cards sport woven satin ribbon frames this is one of my favorite techniques especially if the ribbon is puffy and imperfect in its display of shiny fabric i start in one corner and slowly make my way around the frame once the ribbon has traveled around the die cut it is cut in the corner and tucked under to look finished the smaller focal die images are mostly from gold glossy card stock and shadowed with black card stock first ink some of the background papers for better dimension and a more finished look for some of the shadows i outlined the die with a light colored pencil and fussy cut them out this made the black portion slightly larger than the die cut itself these two cards show off dimension and texture by using glitter on the leaves dimension tape circles and glitter behind the glossy card stock the second card has three butterflies with three layers each featuring vellum or patterned card stock it also has printed vellum in the background the first card also shown below has glitter on the glossy card stock in real life it is quite shiny and sparkly the dots are 1 8 high dimensional dots that have been dredged with glitter notice the butterfly on the right side has been dimensionalized a little differently with the butterfly body glued flat to the base puffed up in the middle and then flattened again on the edges not sure how that will make it through the post office machines so it may be hand delivered sigh i long for the olden days post office when we could send anything through the mail as long as long as we put enough postage on for weight do you sometimes less is more alas i decided more is more more sparkle more glitz more shine more butterflies more jewels this one escaped the glitter but the vellum under the butterfly is shimmering gold with bejeweled brads shiny ribbon and a sentiment made on the label maker layers include the base printed vellum card stock gold anna griffin solid piece an ivory filagree die cut ribbon spellbinders glossy leaves label maker sentiment hand traced and cut black shadow hand traced and cut sparkling vellum and finally patterned paper frilly butterfly die cut this card showcases textures the sixth card the interiors are just as unique the interior here is glittered on one side thanks for wading through all the photos thinking of you all with gratitude thank you for

pink birthday card hello everyone it is my sincerest hope you are doing well this holiday season today s birthday card is for a very dear friend birthdays in december often mean seasonal themed cards and this one is no different being a rather new stamper my friend enjoys challenges with new techniques and products it s fun seeing stamping anew through her eyes i ve always enjoyed making dimensional cards with flowers embellishments and other themes like many of you once the post office changed the thickness rules i altered my style but since this is being delivered in person i took advantage of that by creating a thick card after taking over 20 shots i gave up the pure white feathers show up as a drab gray i think maybe the tininess of each feather barb and the thinness of the afterfeathers created a shadow beneath making the white appear gray has that happened to you when photographing white feathers taking a cue from leslie miller i ve produced an off size skinny slimline card 4 25 x 7 25 with several layers lots of sparkle was added to match the sparkle of ana s personality i sure do wish the sparkle showed up better from my pieces box i put together lots of odds n ends the poinsettia petals all have a thick coating of clear glue mixed with highly textured glitter and mylar glitter the center is comprised of prills i have a ton of those in my stash from some 8 9 years ago in a host of colors the luster balls have florist wire and were purchased at least 10 years ago from hobby lobby s bridal section there is a paper raffia piece which was inked in pumice stone and metallic silver netting from a wire ribbon the french background script is from a virginal su 5x6 wood mount stamp at least 20 years old this card was so much fun to make using stuff from my unfinished box stuff and old crafting goodies crying to be used inside on the inside is a pocket for a gift card adorned with the same ms punch as used on the card front and on the borders of the interior sentiment i really do love the old ms punches to make the simple pocket i cut cardstock one inch wider than necessary scored the two sides at 1 2 inch and the bottom at 1 2 inch niche the corners for the fold to fit neatly adhere the back so that the niched places are glued to one another rather than to the pocket itself so the gift card can slide in and out easily wish i had taken a
