Bloggers Only Valentine Swap - Erika Martin


Paper: Sahara sand, cameo coral, glossy white Ink: Sahara Sand, cameo coral, rose red, versamark. Accessories: black gingham ribbon, clear embossing powder, stamping sponges, chipboard, glue dots, dimensionals. Technique: Double Resist.

This is one of those cards that when I saw it I was like "Why don't I ever remember to do cool techniques on a swap?" I love the embossing/ghosting on this card. The colors are fabulous also, I am so always stuck in the rut with theme colors, know what I mean? Awesome job Erika!

Amanda - sorry this comment has to do with one of your recipes from below, but i was afraid that if i left the comment there, you wouldn't see it since it was several days ago but i couldn't get my blogger comment thing to work that day.

ANYWAY to cut to the chase; when you say "1 c cranberries" are you talking fresh whole cranberries, or the dried "craisins" cranberries? i want to try both your recipes this weekend but not sure i can even find real cranberries at this time of year?

thanks a bunch. i really enjoy your blog and your creations. keep up the good work and have a good weekend!

Hello -- I used one cup of craisins but I suppose you could use either one.

Also, feel free to reply to any previous post on the post -- I will see the reply because they show up in my email when someone responds. HTH!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
