<br />
Today I'm SUPER excited to show you the work of another one of our gorgeous customers, Yenni!!<br />
<br />
She has a fabulous blog <a href="http://scrapcollector.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://scrapcollector.blogspot.com/</a> which I've personally been <strike>stalking </strike> *cough* visiting frequently for quite a while now. *wink*</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">She always has such lovely creations and is just an all around lovely lady so we asked her if she would make something especially for the blog and thankfully she said Yes!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's some info about Yenni, written by the lady herself!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><blockquote style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hi my name is Yenni Natalia aka scrapcollector. My name will be pretty strange for you but it is very common in my hometown in Indonesia.<br />
Currently I stay in Singapore with my husband and a cutie Westi named Garlic. I started as a "fake" scrapbooker about 5 years ago. Why I called it fake? Because I hadn't even heard of the scrapbooker and didn't use the proper products (Such as those called acid free). I have just use all those 'every day' products- office (copy) paper, newspaper, kids paint/colour pencils,etc.<br />
I was introduced to the real "scrapbook" world about 3 years ago. As a hobby, it goes on and off due to my busy schedule but that is where I start my adventure which has ended up with me as a card maker and I am hooked!!! I have been making cards from early 2010. My card making style features more of colouring images than die cuts, however this year I would love to venture into a new style--shabby chic..I hope I will be success on it :)</blockquote><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And here is the GORGEOUS *sing song voice* shadow box frame she made;</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

I've decided not to do a resolution this year, I'm doing an "Intention". I like the connotation of that word better :) It will make me more likely to follow through too as I'm stubborn lol.<br />

We have LOTS of exciting things planned for you all this coming year, so buckle up and get ready!<br />
<br />
Soon to come will be how-to tutorial style updates, Valentine's Galore (YES! Valentine's Day is SUPER close!!), Easter and guest bloggers!! We can't wait to share it all with you!<br />

<br />
This is just a short post as I don't want to keep you from your loved ones at this special time of year, but we at a2z Scrapbooking Supplies wanted to wish you all a very safe, wonderful and Merry Christmas.<br />
<br />
Even though I'm sure many of you are just waking up or are going about your busy mornings, I (here in Australia) am just about to head off to bed. Despite definitely NOT being a child any more, I still made my wish to Santa, I love the magic and possibilities that come with this special time of year. If you can't believe in something unbelievable, then when can you?! Just now as I'm typing this to you, I heard a bump noise on the roof and for an instant my heartbeat quickens and I think "Could it be...?!" I'd prefer to believe than not personally.<br />
<br />
Whether this time for you is a religious one or simply a time in which to spend some precious hours with loved ones, I hope you enjoy and are able to be filled (and fill those around you) with the spirit of Christmas--in it's truest form. Not in the gift giving, but in the smiles of your loved ones, the laughter of children AND adults, the peace that can come if you truly seek it. I hope your Christmas day's are filled with whatever you hope for.<br />

I only finished this picture a few days ago, it's using all Whiff of Joy Stamps and a few Distress Inks for the backgrounds (and of course, Copic Markers) but I love the sense of serenity it evokes; the joy, the hope. To be watching over any baby is precious and fills us with a 'something' most can't describe well, but to be watching over <i>this </i>baby--oh my.<br />
<br />
I'm not (pardon the phrase) overly religious any more but I think that Christmas is a time to believe. No matter what it's a belief in. This picture (if I may say that of a stamped image) makes me feel belief. There is a relief, an outward sigh, a calmness I feel when I look at it. I had planned to give it away as a gift but I couldn't let go of the sensation of peace it brings me, so it's now sitting on the wall directly in front of my craft desk. Bringing me that which I wish for you all this Christmas--peace, joy and calm.<br />
---ooOOoo--<br />
<br />
We will be back before New Years but in case you don't check your emails or aren't near a computer for the next week or so (as I'm sure will be the case for many of you), please do stay safe over this holiday period and have a truly Happy New Years.<br />
<br />
With all our best wishes to you all and your precious people--<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How are you all faring in this sometimes-stressful season?? </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I hope you're all able to make even a little time for yourselves, whether that be slipping off to your crafty nook or even just taking a few minutes for a quiet cup of tea/hot chocolate (whatever your favourite is!)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It is RIDICULOUSLY hot here in Perth, it will be...(wait for it)...38 degrees on Christmas day...that's 38 degrees CELCIUS... that is 100.4 F... *don't all rush to buy me a plane ticket to the USA where I can sit in the snow and cool down!!*--actually, feel free to! lol.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyway, given that this is a time for family, friends, laughter, love and quite often, a bit of food (or more than a bit! *wink*), I thought I'd share with you the favorite recipe of our good friend Barbi! I got this recipe from her many MANY weeks ago and I'm sure she thought I forgot about it, but I didn't--I've been saving it!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As I'm sure you all know (but just in case you didn't), we at a2z Scrapbooking Supplies, donate towards Coeliac Disease and Behcet's Disease research--some of our volunteers suffer from, or have family members with these diseases too. So at this time of year when so many people are being indulgent with their food, people who have Coeliac or Behcet's Disease (which can often lead to diabetes due to the medications required), aren't able to just forgo their normal careful eating. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Therefore, this recipe is *happily* "diabetes friendly" and I'm sure delicious to boot. I haven't made it yet, but I will be attempting my FIRST apple pie for my dad in the next day or two :) (wish me luck!)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, without further ado, here is Barbi's favorite Apple Praline Pie and her (super easy to follow) instructions:</span><b><br />

<br />
In large bowl, mix apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt; toss lightly. Spoon mixture into crust-lined pie plate. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut slits in several places in top crust.<br />
<br />
Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of bake time to prevent excessive browning.<br />
<br />
In 1-quart saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter; stir in brown sugar and half-and-half. Slowly heat to boiling; remove from heat. Stir in pecans; spread over top of pie. Place pie on cookie sheet.<br />
<br />
Bake 5 minutes longer or until topping bubbles. Cool at least 1 hour before serving. </div></blockquote><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here is a little bit about Barbi for you to read while the apple pie cools *if you can wait that long*</div><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">ABOUT ME: </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">My name is Barbi and I love to cook, unfortunately I love to eat too. Since being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes I have attempted to live a healthier lifestyle and a big part of that is food. My husband and I love to try new recipes. We love down home cooking and all the comfort foods you remember as a child. I started my blog to feature our attempts to make these recipes, whether they be my own tried and true ones or new ones we find along the way, healthier in some way. Though not every recipe on this blog is Diabetic friendly the majority of them are yet they can be easily adapted for those not looking for Diabetic related dishes.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div>ABOUT THIS RECIPE<br />
I saw this recipe for Apple Praline Pie on the Pillsbury website and thought it looked so good but being Diabetic I really have to watch my sugar so I decided to try and make this as carb friendly as I could without losing its taste. Since my dear husband is the dessert maker in this house I asked him if he would make it for me but with a few substitutions which he was happy to do.<br />
<br />
It came out delicious and was enjoyed by all even though I am the only one watching my sugar intake. If you want the full sugar version you can find it on the <a href="http://www.pillsbury.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=11056&WT.dcsvid=MzM2MjA1MjYzMgS2&rvrin=AAEAA55C-CD91-4002-B0F3-05503D89321A&WT.mc_id=Newsletter_PB_09_23_2009&rvrin=AAEAA55C-CD91-4002-B0F3-05503D89321A" target="_blank">Pillsbury</a> website.<br />

I thought it might be a nice addition to your Christmas dessert menu (or give you something to bake if you didn't have any ideas yet!!)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Talk to you soon sweets!!

<br />
So I know I promised more of the goodies from the Hero Arts 2011 Catalog the next time we 'spoke' but we've been dealing with some major technical difficulties due to some *EXTREME* weather in Indiana--which has been causing havoc with our Internet (and thus being able to get things loaded into the store!!)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">However, we're VERY hopeful it will be rectified soon and everything will be up and running perfectly and we'll be able to get the rest of the goodies on the store site asap. For now there are a few VERY gorgeous items in the new 2011 Catalog category <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-2011-Catalog-New-Products_c977.htm">HERE</a>. As soon as the rest of the catalog is available on the store, we will be hosting a VERY nice little contest...I can't wait to share it with you all.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Until then, I thought I'd show you something VERY cool that we now have in store!! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</div>These are Memento Markers that are just so brilliant for making amazing things and producing awesome results. You can use them for 'standard' coloring (similar to Copics), they dont smear or smudge or bleed BUT...you can also color right onto the stamp itself for really detailed amazing coloring on your stamped images.<br />

Today as I'm sure you all know is CYBER MONDAY!!! (Kinda sounds like robots are taking over the Earth dontcha think?! *wink). Anyhoo, apparently over there in the big ol' U.S of A, Cyber Monday is the day when everyone gets online and snags a bargain or two...or twenty *lol* </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(actually I like the explanation that it's the day where everyone shops online instead of does their work lol!).</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
So lets get right to it shall we?! I'm going to show you some stamps that are new to our range at a2z, but we're SO very excited to have them in our store! I personally am a HUGE fan and I'm super-happy that I get to introduce them to you:</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

All you have to do is stamp Oakley onto your cardstock/paper, then stamp him again onto masking paper, cut out the image (stay right on the line with your cutting, if you cut just outside the lines, you'll have a 'ghost-line' where your next stamped image wont quite sit properly).</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Peel the backing off the masking paper stamped image, then 'stick' it onto the original image you stamped on your cardstock.

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This card is SO easy and perfect for mass production;</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First I took the <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=cg224">Hero Arts Starry Night stamp</a> and wiped <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Black-Soot-268116.htm">Black Soot Distress Ink</a> from left to right. I then stamped it onto <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Copic-Marker-X-Press-Blending-Card-XPBC.htm">white cardstock</a>. The 'wiping' created a look of a snowstorm/a windy snowy night around the trees. *LOVE*</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Next I rubbed a <i>tiny </i>bit of <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Mustard-Seed-277414.htm">Mustard Seed Distress Ink</a> over the largest star in the top right corner, to give it a glow.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then I added some <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Diamond-Stickles-296828.htm">Diamond Stickles</a> to the ground and stars (a tiny bit to the tree branches would work too, but I left mine bare). I tied some red and white striped <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Twine_c915.htm">bakers twine </a>around the image, tying it to a button.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then I adhered the white stamped cardstock onto a slightly larger piece of <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Bazzill-Cardstock-Raven-Canvas-268946.htm">black cardstock</a>, to create a matte. Then I adhere both layers onto a piece of <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Bazzill-Cardstock-White-Canvas-12-x-12-268795.htm">white textured cardstock</a> that I had cut to size and scored in the centre to make the card.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
On the inside (not pictured), I stamped a Christmas sentiment with <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Tsukineko-VersaMark-Watermark-Stamp-Pad-231200.htm">Versamark ink</a> and embossed with <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Stampendous-Red-Transparent-Tinsel-Embossing-Powder-264507.htm">Stampendous Red Transparent Tinsel Embossing Powder</a>.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That's it!! Like I said, super easy and perfect for mass production!<br />
<br />
Hope you like it! Let me know what you thought :)<br />
<br />
See you tomorrow with another card!<br />

Take care lovelies </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
How are you all today? I'm DYING of heat exhaustion here in Perth today. We're not even out of Spring yet and it was 36 degrees Centigrade here today. (That's 96.8 F) I was quite a bit like the Wicked Witch of the West this afternoon when I went out the front to get the mail...I'M MELTIIIIIIIIIIIIING *wink* (but without the socks and green skin haha!)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So anyhoo--welcome to Day three of my Christmas Card Inspiration Week! Let's get straight to the card--I'm pretty happy with this one :).<br />
<br />
The techniques I used on this one are Heat embossing and a technique called "Resist".</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9OUY6_oonV0-iTbfkkeqqQ-HPTbdBgeBLs7swzLFF19f9kHuq6qxjoz33nxmaq-RtG-2R_AdROAlAJ0W0JBl_VQXUX7UYZ8D8Sox-QChCYJnjdCZw91ot7JGz7f6xEQjThy5ayZwhyphenhyphene8/s1600/DSC_0217.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9OUY6_oonV0-iTbfkkeqqQ-HPTbdBgeBLs7swzLFF19f9kHuq6qxjoz33nxmaq-RtG-2R_AdROAlAJ0W0JBl_VQXUX7UYZ8D8Sox-QChCYJnjdCZw91ot7JGz7f6xEQjThy5ayZwhyphenhyphene8/s400/DSC_0217.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's how I did it:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><li>I cut a piece of <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Bazzill-Cardstock-Kraft-Classic-12-x-12-271204.htm">Bazzill Kraft Classic Cardstock</a> down to 5 1/2" long by 3" high. </li>
<li>Then I took my <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Tsukineko-VersaMark-Watermark-Stamp-Pad-231200.htm">Versamark watermark</a> inkpad and applied it to my <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=Cg215">Hero Arts Wreath of Leaves Stamp</a> (I LOOOOOVE this image!) </li>
<li>I then stamped multiple times over the surface, going off the edge quite a bit on all of the images to give extra effect (I re-inked my stamp with Versamark each time).</li>
<li>I shook some <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Stampendous-Stamp-N-Stuff-Embossing-Powders_c636.htm">Mustard colored embossing powder</a> over the whole image and blew off the excess then I heat set it with my heat tool. </li>
<li> Taking my <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Inkssentials-Ink-Blending-Tool-344689.htm">Ranger Inkssentials Blending tool</a>, I then added a light layer of <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Peeled-Paint-277415.htm">Peeled Paint Distress Ink</a> and <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Walnut-Stain-268120.htm">Walnut Stain Distress Ink</a> to the cardstock, blending it in well. </li>
</ul><blockquote><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The embossing will resist the distress ink you put over the top. Just make sure you wipe over your embossed areas to remove any excess distress ink that might be there and to really make your embossing powder's color shine through. (this is the technique called "Resist). </span> </blockquote><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><li>I lightly distressed the edges of the cardstock with my scissors (or you could use a <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Tim-Holtz-Paper-Distresser-309478.htm">Tim Holtz tonic distressing tool</a>) and added some <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Black-Soot-268116.htm">Black Soot Distress Ink</a> to the edges, to sharpen up the colors.</li>
<li>Next I added some <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Blush-Ribbon-CH226.htm">Red Hero Arts Ribbon</a>, a little <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Twine_c915.htm">twine</a> and a couple of buttons from my stash.</li>
<li>Then I stamped the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment from the <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=cl459">Hero Arts Merry Christmas Trees Clear stamp set</a> and in <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Tsukineko-VersaMark-Watermark-Stamp-Pad-231200.htm">Versamark</a> and used <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Stampendous-Red-Transparent-Tinsel-Embossing-Powder-264507.htm">red embossing powder</a> on that before heat setting it.</li>
<li>I attached my inked, embossed and 'ribboned' cardstock onto a folded card that I'd made out of kraft cardstock (which I cut to size and scored in half).</li>
<li>On the inside of the card, I used the 'Best wishes for the season' sentiment from the same <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=cl459">Hero Arts Merry Christmas Trees Clear Stamp</a> set in <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Walnut-Stain-268120.htm">Walnut Stain Distress Ink</a>.</li>
</ul></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm starting to really utilise the insides of my cards now. I love adding a little something extra wherever I can.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
Anyhoo, that's it! Super easy and it would really be easy to make multiples of these! I'd just stamp the Wreath image all over a bigger piece of cardstock and emboss it all, then cut it down to size! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One more quick note--You can do the first few steps in the opposite order; the distress inks first and then add the embossing over the top. This will only work when you are using colored embossing powder, but if you're using clear powder (so that the color of the cardstock underneath will show through), you must do the embossing first, then go over with your distress inks second.<br />
(Because if the embossing powder is clear--and on top of distress inking- the distress inks will show <i>through</i> and you wont see your embossed image, it will just blend in with the distress inks colors.)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">**A tip!! If you do go the other way around (Distress ink first, then emboss over top), make sure the Distress Inks are completely dry before stamping the 'Versamarked' image (and most importantly, the embossing powder). If it's not dry, when you pour the embossing powder on, it will stick to the <b>entire </b>cardfront, not just the image you've stamped with the Versamark--<i>very annoying...trust me </i>*wink*</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Have fun with this! It's a favourite technique of mine!<br />
<br />
Talk to you tomorrow!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hello!!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Welcome to day 2 of my Christmas Cards to Inspire week!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Yesterday I showed you the pretty effects if you use Distress Inks as Watercolor paints on standard Cardstock (When I say standard, I mean <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Copic-Marker-X-Press-Blending-Card-XPBC.htm">Copic Marker X-Press Blending Card</a>--I use this for all my stamping).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Today I want to show you the difference when you use watercolor paper, which has much more texture and thus, a better ability to tolerate more liquid. It also leaves a pretty textured LOOK about the image, which I think is perfect for animals like...(you guessed it!! That cute little reindeer again) *wink*</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Let's get straight to the card shall we?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuWRC473EGc1hg3qpaAXUDDszEHOqpF7ASmVXEMfZFPOFBNgRdzB7Jj5x2NMaPXtV_zxCnHRZ0noBA9p9CBg9oHRzg9KzNi96834pZfrVV7tmIY2xCiRql_idjhLp0pf0U2Da-XzYl3Z0/s1600/DSC_0230.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuWRC473EGc1hg3qpaAXUDDszEHOqpF7ASmVXEMfZFPOFBNgRdzB7Jj5x2NMaPXtV_zxCnHRZ0noBA9p9CBg9oHRzg9KzNi96834pZfrVV7tmIY2xCiRql_idjhLp0pf0U2Da-XzYl3Z0/s320/DSC_0230.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This card has a really cute rustic feel about it, which I love. Sometimes I absolutely <i>hate </i>cards that--how can I put this the right way?!-- Take themselves too seriously. Does that make sense?! I love cards that are pretty or cute or even whimsical--but no matter what, I love them to have a hand-made look, which this one does I think.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I used two techniques to create this one.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The first is using the watercolor paper with Distress Inks. The second, is using my Acrylic Block to create that bluey-grey background.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To achieve this second technique (which was actually my first step), I dabbed some <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Tumbled-Glass-431548.htm">Tumbled Glass</a> and <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Stormy-Sky-431547.htm">Stormy Sky</a> as well as <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Weathered-Wood-277417.htm">Weathered Wood Distress Ink</a>s onto my acrylic block (Yes, I said ONTO the acrylic block---<i>not the stamp)</i>. Then I spritzed the acrylic block with a good 6 or 7 spritzes of water using my Ranger Mini Mister and then 'stamped' it onto <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=Ps626">Hero Arts Bright White Watercolor Paper </a>.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I then cut my cardstock a 1/4" larger than the square of ink my acrylic block created (to leave a border of white). Then I edged my paper with <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Walnut-Stain-268120.htm">Walnut Stain Distress Ink</a>.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When the paper was dry, there was a really clear space in the color from the acrylic 'stamping', so I used that space to stamp my <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Fancy-Reindeer-Stamp-G5439.htm">Hero Arts Fancy Reindeer </a>in <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Tsukineko-StazOn-Jet-Black-Solvent-Ink-Pad-252619.htm">Black Stayzon Ink.</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When the Reindeer image was dry, I used the same painting technique mentioned yesterday. I put the <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Frayed-Burlap-301890.htm">Frayed Burlap Distress Ink</a> Pad upside down on my <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Inkssentials-Craft-Sheet-15-x-18-304843.htm">Ranger Inkssentials Craft Sheet </a> to put the ink directly onto the craft mat, then spritzed with water. Using a fine-tipped paintbrush, I painted the reindeer. To give some shading, I waited for the ink to soak into the paper a little before putting a slight second 'coat' of ink down around the bottom of the reindeer's stomach and legs.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I used <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Fired-Brick-277412.htm">Fired Brick Distress Ink</a> again for his scarf and nose (which I also popped a dot of Glossy Accents on).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Next I stamped the sentiment from <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Sprinkle-Your-Holidays-Stamp-CL467.htm">Hero Arts Sprinkle Your Holidays</a> with <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Tsukineko-StazOn-Jet-Black-Solvent-Ink-Pad-252619.htm">Black Stayz on Ink</a>.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then I adhered the watercolor paper 'layer' onto a <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Cerulean-Folded-Cards-PS561.htm">Hero Arts Cerulean (sky blue) notecard </a>which I had trimmed down to size. I edged the notecard in <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Walnut-Stain-268120.htm">Walnut Stain Distress Ink</a> after distressing the edges of the card.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lastly I added some <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Small-Accent-Pearl-CH136.htm">Hero Arts Small Accent Pearl</a> (mine were white so I colored them with a Copic marker, but you can get some beautiful <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Light-Blue-Accent-Pearls-CH169.htm">Light Blue </a>ones that would be perfect)as well as some dots of <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Diamond-Stickles-296828.htm">Ranger Icicle Stickles</a> to look like snowfall (and to add just a little bling *wink*).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I couldn't resisite popping a cute little blue and silver button from my stash in the corner, threading it with some red and white bakers <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Twine_c915.htm">twine</a> for a final touch.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope you liked this one! I love the homey and textured look and feel of it! I hope my explanation of the steps makes sense to you all, if you have any questions, PLEASE feel free to email me or leave a comment!<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Please leave comments to let me know what you think!</div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">See you tomorrow!</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This week I've got some super cute (if I may say so myself! *teehee*) Christmas cards for you!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These all took me only a few minutes each to make with a few simple techniques that can create a lovely effect.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Each day this week I'll be sharing with you some ways to use products like Distress Inks and stamps --that you might not have thought to try.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The first two (today's and tomorrow's cards) I used water coloring techniques but Distress Inks instead of Watercolour Paint. The difference between painting on watercolor paper versus 'normal' paper is pretty surprising. Watercolor paper has so much more texture and can allow much darker colors to be 'reached' (because you can put more ink/paint down due to the absorbent nature of the paper.)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Using water with distress inks is an excellent way to achieve a great look with your favourite Distress Ink colors.

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's what I did:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Using Black Stayz On ink, I stamped the <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Fancy-Reindeer-Stamp-G5439.htm">Hero Arts Small Fancy Reindeer</a>.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Next I 'stamped' some <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Inkssentials-Craft-Sheet-15-x-18-304843.htm">Frayed Burlap Distress Ink</a> on my <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Inkssentials-Craft-Sheet-15-x-18-304843.htm">Ranger Craft Mat</a> and spritzed with water using my Ranger Mini-Mister.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Taking a fine 'tipped' paint brush, I dipped the brush into the ink (swirled it around to make sure it blended with the water on the mat) and began painting my Reindeer image.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">No special technique for the painting is required. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Repeated steps 2 and 3 with <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Fired-Brick-277412.htm">Fired Brick Distress ink</a> to color his nose and scarf --choose whichever ink colors appeal to you. (REMEMBER TO WASH YOUR BRUSH OUT BETWEEN COLORS!)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Using my 3" scalloped circle punch, I cut out the painted image. (The <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Spellbinders-Petite-Scallop-Circle-Large-Nestabilities-354807.htm">Scalloped Circle Nestabilities Die</a> would work just as well)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I gently inked the edges with <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Antique-Linen-268115.htm">Antique Linen Distress Ink</a> and a <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Inkssentials-Ink-Blending-Tool-344689.htm">Ranger Inkssentials Blending Tool.</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I put a TINY dab of <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Inkssentials-Glossy-Accents-GAC17042.htm">Glossy Accents</a> on his eyes and <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Diamond-Stickles-296828.htm">Ranger Diamond Stickles</a> on his nose for extra sparkle and interest :) </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(<i>I nearly painted his hooves, but then remembered Rudolf is a boy *wink*--my next Reindeer project will have to be a girl :) Pink or Red Hooves would be too cute! Teehee)</i><br />
Using a 3 1/4" circle punch (<a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Martha-Stewart-Circle-Cutter-442053.htm">Martha Stewart Circle cutter</a> or <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Spellbinders-Petite-Scallop-Circle-Large-Nestabilities-354807.htm">Nestabilities Die </a>would work perfectly too), cut out red cardstock.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Adhere the reindeer scalloped circle die-cut to the red circular die cut cardstock, using <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/3L-3D-Permanent-Foam-Squares-01610.htm">dimensional adhesive</a>.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Take <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Copic-Marker-X-Press-Blending-Card-XPBC.htm">white cardstock</a>, cut to size (mine is 4 1/8" wide x 4 1/8" high) round the corners with a <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/We-R-Memory-Keepers-Crop-A-Dile-Corner-Chomper-Tool-399023.htm">Corner Chomper</a> and stamp the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from '<a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Hero-Arts-Wishes-Come-True-Stamp-CL461.htm">Hero Arts Wishes Come True' Clear stamp set</a> in red (I used <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Worn-Lipstick-301895.htm">Worn Lipstick</a> as it worked better with my red cardstock and didn't blend in too much with the scarf-which I wanted to be the focus) and then again in <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Forest-Moss-431543.htm">Forest Moss Distress Ink.</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <i>** Try doing this last step with a smaller acrylic block if you can and have fun with it. Twist and turn your stamp around in all different directions. Leave spaces for the second color. Don't forget to stamp half off the page too, as this really makes a fun and easy (not to mention HAND MADE) background paper! The less neat and linear you make this part, the better the end result.</i>**</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I also edged my paper just lightly with <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Ink-Pad-Forest-Moss-431543.htm">Forest Moss Distress Ink</a> using my <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Ranger-Inkssentials-Ink-Blending-Tool-344689.htm">Ranger Inkssentials Foam Blender tool</a>, just to help make it stand out against the backing card.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
Finally, cut some red cardstock to your desired size, score in the centre (I use <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Martha-Stewart-Score-Board-435005.htm">Martha Stewart's scoreboard</a>, but the <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Scor-Pal-SP101.htm">Scorepal</a> or <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Scor-Pal-Scor-Buddy-SP104.htm">Scorebuddy</a> would also be just the ticket :))</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Adhere the circular cardstock onto your 'background paper', adhere that onto the front of your card! Round your edges with a <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/We-R-Memory-Keepers-Crop-A-Dile-Corner-Chomper-Tool-399023.htm">We are Memory Keepers Corner Chomper</a> and you're done!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>**Note, if you are going to cut out the image you're painting, then feel free to paint like a toddler-- messy and quickly. *wink* Don't worry about getting paint outside the lines, you'll be cutting the image out anyway, so you wont see the 'mess'. If you are going to use the image and some/all of the white space around it (like I did here), you need to be a bit more neat. </i></div><div><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One option is to heat emboss the image first (use clear embossing powder if you've stamped in black already, or black embossing powder if you're only using <a href="http://shop.a2zscrapbookingsupplies.com/Tsukineko-VersaMark-Watermark-Stamp-Pad-231200.htm">Versamark </a>ink) The heat embossing will give you a 'border' as such. Because heat embossing creates a raised area where the embossing powder has set, the 'paint' will stay in the lines more--especially if you only use a little at a time. </i></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope you enjoyed this cute little reindeer card and try something like this for your Christmas cards! It's fast and easy, perfect for making enough cards for everyone!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I wanted to make something for Isabella's (my 3 year old) room.

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First I took some material that we call Calico but in the USA, Europe etc I'm not sure, it's what you'd use to put a Christmas pudding (which you probably don't have in the US either!) in or similar. (It's like a linen but not stiff)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I cut the calico into triangles with my pinking shears--2 layers of material per triangle for double thickness. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
Happy Halloween to you all!! I hope you enjoy the festivities and aren't frightened by too many ghouls and goblins showing up at your door--nor in your stomachs after all that Halloween Candy!<br />
<br />
Halloween passed VERY uneventfully here as usual, but I'm a bit sad about the fact that we miss such a big season of tradition, fun and celebrations. Oh well. When my daughters get older we'll definitely have to bring Halloween into our yearly calendar :)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Despite that we didn't celebrate Halloween here, I've been feeling an itch to make a card for the 'season', so here it is:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAc6xvD6rn4b8P4ogXsM_GqNrv9WukL3rCgqVReaipamKpbooDh-WwYeGZlchxm7IjaGA02md6tZAaJ_FQEWMdx-DCWMlag_QdJ9udbs7gGiyFEIOnEu1xabL5j-66D3nuunKyHVP4BiQ/s1600/DSC_0148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAc6xvD6rn4b8P4ogXsM_GqNrv9WukL3rCgqVReaipamKpbooDh-WwYeGZlchxm7IjaGA02md6tZAaJ_FQEWMdx-DCWMlag_QdJ9udbs7gGiyFEIOnEu1xabL5j-66D3nuunKyHVP4BiQ/s400/DSC_0148.JPG" width="265" /></a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's a little Halloween girl for you, I was going to make her a witches hat but she was just too cute, so rather than go "all-out" I kept it simple and just tried to give a feel of spooky darkness (it's much darker in life than this photo shows due to the camera flash).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's what I did:</div><ol style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><li>Stamp the girl image on white cardstock using Memento ink</li>
<li>Stamp the same image onto Inkadinkadoo Masking Paper, cut out and (temporarily) adhere over original image.</li>
<li>Cover a small rounded section of the base of white cardstock (to form the ground)--(I just cut a piece of scrap paper into the right shape as I didn't want to use the Masking paper, because this was particular size and shape for this card.)</li>
<li>Ink up the Cloud Background stamp with Stormy Sky ink and stamp. (**NB The masking paper protects the little girl image and makes it look like she's standing in FRONT of the clouds)</li>
<li>Ink the Silhouette Grass Stamp with Scattered Straw ink, stamp.</li>
<li>Using my blending tool, add some Walnut stain ink to the base of the card to create the ground/dirt she is standing on.</li>
<li>Remove the masking paper, color the girl image with copics</li>
<li>Stamp Hello Flags stamps onto scrap paper in desired colors.</li>
<li>Adhere flags onto cardfront and either draw a black line between to create the banner's "rope" (or cut a thin strip of cardstock and adhere to cardfront underneath pennants)</li>
<li>Distress edge of card with scissors or distressing tool</li>
<li>Mount onto Black cardstock!</li>
</ol><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">DONE!! It looks like a lot of steps but they're all VERY easy.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
I'm back with the final (for now *wink*) creation from our dear friend Joy Taylor. The four weeks that Joy has been guest blogging with us has gone by so quickly but we've loved every minute of it and of course, her gorgeous cards! Joy, we will miss having your beautiful cards grace our blog every week, but we thank you so much for all the effort you've put into them and hope you come back to join us as guest blogger in the New Year. *HUGS* to you.<br />
<br />
Today's effort from Joy is nothing short of astonishingly beautiful--here they are:<br />
<br />

are you all as blown away as I was?!<br />
<br />
Take your time to ogle them--they deserve it :)<br />
<br />
Here's the how to:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Take 6 or more tags, (you can buy either from your office supply store if you don't have the below die to cut your own. </li>
<li>Ink over the top of the tags using Antique Linen. </li>
<li>Once inked, take the Vintage Christmas stamps and stamp images over the tags using black ink. </li>
<li>Next, using a different color distress ink for each tag, blend around the edges with the different colours, adding touches of Walnut Stain (to all of the tags) to give it a more vintage feel. </li>
<li>Lastly, add twine and ribbon through the tops of the tags.</li>
</ul><br />
A very quick and fun way to produce tags to put on your Christmas presents or even add onto a card!<br />
<br />
Here's what you'll need!<br />
