Memories in the making – Party Pants

Leave a reply

I pulled out the Memories in the Making pack of Project Life cards and flicked through them thinking to use one on a card. I’ve yet to jump into the Project Life arena although I plan to. When I get some photos printed! Anyway, I pulled out an embossed piece of 4″ by 6″ card and decided to sponge watermelon wonder over it. Since I had my sponge dauber out, I also decided to dab watermelon wonder onto the white glimmer tape. Putting the tape onto a silicone mat works really well – you don’t lose any of the stickiness and the excess ink wipes off the mat. A word of warning here though – the tapes takes AGES to dry. Actually, after a few cases lately of getting ink all over my fingers, I think I left the tape for several hours.

I then cut a banner end with my snips and put the glimmer tape onto the sponged card, wrapping the end under the card to get a good edge. The sentiment is from the set Party Pants and it’s stamped in more watermelon wonder on whisper white. I punched it out with the 1.5″ circle punch and also a watermelon wonder mat using the 1.75″ circle punch. Next I glued the sponged piece to a watermelon wonder card base and popped up the sentiment over the glimmer tape. I used the 2015-2017 in color DSP stack to make the envelope liner using the framelits. Looks like I’ve made another feminine birthday card – I’m short of masculine ones again although almost nobody at the office has a birthday next month. Or at least, nobody that I know. So I have time to make some.

By the way, in case you’re wondering where any of today’s products are from, they are all Sale-a-bration freebies that you need to order by Thursday if you want them. Or any of the other freebies because sadly we’re almost at the end of Sale-a-bration. You could pick up one of them with a $50 order which would also garner you the It’s My Party enamel dots. Check out the Customer Loyalty Program details over on the left.

See you tomorrow,

Yesterday I had computer problems as in, nothing would open. The reboot didn’t work either – I’m opening a ticket with the HIT desk – i.e. the Home IT desk, my brother. There’s clearly an issue with my computer – I’m hoping it behaves long enough for me to write this post. Because here’s my design team card for the new challenge at CAS Colour & Sketches and you need to check the challenge out!

It’s almost Pi day. As in March 14th. I’m a mathematician, or at least I majored in maths so I feel that it’s important. And obviously, there had to be a circle on the card. Here’s a card you can share with your geeky friends.

I hand wrote the pi symbol since there’s no stamp for it (definitely a lack!) in cherry cobbler on very vanilla and then attached it to a window sheet from the Memories in the Making set that is a Sale-a-bration freebie. I attached this with glue dots to the back of a piece of cherry cobbler where the window was cut with the squares framelits collection. This was then glued to a cherry cobbler card base.

This was fun to make – especially using items that are made for memory keeping. We can definitely repurpose!

 

Happy Pi Day.

See you tomorrow,
