I'm back...

I have been having major computer problems for the past couple of weeks, so I am now looking through 528 emails, and also into buying a laptop computer, and that, my friends, is why I haven't been posting lately. I also got to see my grandson today, so I dropped everything, just to be with him for a couple of hours today. Just being with him, even for a short time, gives me a warm fuzzy :-)
So this card I made was super easy. I used a digital stamp freebie from HERE The card base is Kraft, followed by green glittery by DCWV, followed by white card stock, run through my printer to get the digi, and then run through the Big Shot with the Top Note Die. On the inside, it says "This Bud's for You". This card for an older 70ish man. I sponged the Top Note with Marigold, and orange inks. Added some Reece SWIC from TAC, and punched out the bottom with my scallop punch. That's it!

Time Goes By So Quickly

I've got cards done, but just haven't found the time to update my blog. My grandson's birthday party is this Saturday. He turns 2 on Sunday. The time sure does fly by,when you're the Grandma.
Remember when I said I had a bunch of Thank You cards to make? Well, a few people got one that looked like this. This is so easy to do. The craft paper in the back is just one piece, measuring 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I took a piece of ivory cardstock and folded it in half, so that it was 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". I put my cardstock on the top note die, making sure that the top of the cardstock was about 1/4" down from the top of the die. That way, when you run it through the big shot, you come out with 2 top note dies that are hinged together. So actually, you flip the top note open to see the sentiment inside. The kraft cardstock is just for looks. I took my fancy scissors to the edge of the kraft paper, so it didn't look so blah. I then stamped versamark on the stamp, and then into the water based ink I wanted, and stamped the card. I then put embossing powder on top, gave it some heat, and did that for the rest of the stamps. Then when everything is embossed, I took some blue ink, and sponged it over the whole thing. And then I wiped the ink off of the embossed images. Easy Peasy.

Update on my Copics...I need to watch some more videos on you-tube! :-)
