Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
The weekend is almost here! YAY!
I recently ordered a large bookshelf, which will
be here tomorrow.... I'm gonna store my Stamps on it...
At least that's my plan! 😏
I got them all organized already, in those
plastic sleeves along with labels... but the shelf I
have (which my loving husband built me)
is not working out... so I'm hoping to get this new shelving unit
to work with all my stamps - Keeping my fingers crossed
it will work... I'm not sure what I'll do with my other shelf
But I think my hubby wants it, if I don't use it... So I better
come up with something before he snags it from me! 😂
I have my Weekly Holiday card to share with you today!
I'm using my brand New Distress Oxides I got recently from
They had a really good deal on them when it was a pre-order &
I was so excited when they finally arrived that I just had to make
something with them - They really are smoother than my
regular distress inks for sure... I think I'm in 💖
I totally 💖💖 the way this card turned out - It always makes
me happy when that happens! 😁
I used the Faded Jeans & Broken China Distress Oxides
First I stamped the snowflakes with versamark ink on white CS
then used some SSS Fine White Embossing powder -
Heat set it, then used the Oxides - they really blended so well
& smoothly together - After that I splattered some Sheer Shimmer
Frost Spritz on it - then let it dry for a second or two....
I then blended some more of the 2 colors
on some white scrap CS, so I could cut out
the Snowflake Die from Gina Marie Designs - I added a small
splatter of the Shimmer spray on it as well - You can see I brought
that same color to the inside of my card... 😃
