Sympathy cards are the hardest ones for me to make, but the Altenew embossing folder and rose dies made this an easy one to create. I had a scrap of a watercolor background, and I thought it would make a nice rose. Add a sentiment and leaves, and voila!

The sentiment is from Birch Press, but <a href="https://www.katscrappiness.com/search?type=product&q=holiday%20sentiments*" target="_blank">Kat Scrappiness </a>has several that would work just as well. All the paper is from my stash. Personally, I wouldn't go much heaver than 100 lb cardstock, and dust the die with anti static powder so the finer parts of the die will pop right out.The embellishments are from Trinity Stamps-Silver Baubles & Gold Baubles. <br /></p><p>Make sure to enter our challenge for a chance at that great prize!<br /></p>Michelle N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04192483882959950680noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977203903632669086.post-6569258049030143062023-11-01T00:00:00.050-07:002023-11-01T00:00:00.191-07:00Oh Christmas Tree<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"> It's November and a new challenge is here. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="transition--fade-in primary-logo lazyautosizes lazyloaded" data-sizes="auto" data-src="//www.katscrappiness.com/cdn/shop/files/logo1_1600x.png?v=1618338759" data-srcset="//www.katscrappiness.com/cdn/shop/files/logo1_5000x.png?v=1618338759 5000w,

I struggle with watercolors, but I was really thrilled that the watermelons from <i><a href="https://altenew.com/products/simple-fruits-stamp-die-bundle">Simple Fruit Set</a> </i>by Altenew looked so good on it. Thank you Cindy Chiu for that set! I used Pink Flamingo Distress Oxide ink for the melon, took a Q-Tip dipped in water and erased the rind, then stamped. I added the rind using a Ranger emboss pen and green embossing powder (Hampton Art), and cut them out with the matching die set. The sentiment was also part of the set.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Now enter the challenge for that same set of watercolors I used-they are a $49.99 value!<br /></p><p> </p><br />Michelle N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04192483882959950680noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977203903632669086.post-35340194483871851692023-03-13T00:00:00.052-07:002023-03-13T00:00:00.230-07:00Christmas Book Gnome<p style="text-align: center;"> <br /><br />Scrapflower Estudio is Die Cut Divas' Sponsor for March.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The prize is the winner's choice of 4 digi stamps.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQ1QRPu9x8mKv-mFscouLDQN7xbKMMtnhlhkACOwP1HWXkFwNNLQkKdz5-MAJSA0RvYKrz27zJzlqNHyFNeg8DovZ97KXckwE8tefAcAKOOdtbAdzVctRYkJ4KRO2wgilWMCyN10HxMpIokrBVNvG5Au63pvSA_wucMKyIA2wb0Shg63yYMcX-hcBkw/s280/scrapflower%20logo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="280" data-original-width="280" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQ1QRPu9x8mKv-mFscouLDQN7xbKMMtnhlhkACOwP1HWXkFwNNLQkKdz5-MAJSA0RvYKrz27zJzlqNHyFNeg8DovZ97KXckwE8tefAcAKOOdtbAdzVctRYkJ4KRO2wgilWMCyN10HxMpIokrBVNvG5Au63pvSA_wucMKyIA2wb0Shg63yYMcX-hcBkw/s1600/scrapflower%20logo.jpg" width="280" /></a></div> The theme for this month is Anything Goes!<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is my project- <br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GY-IW5yAqVu-eK0KBh9f-Da702L6HiuaVFIt8Bg0WPQrM-ODikfXzIxS8c626zxPtaLrZhjMi6h-SxTiFaI0B7Enzy5kcJlNrgfKvakgsKNE0ezvQZb9wlCy1jBkSupUeNQVWfhVikBGrpk2AAU4WSSQ_UmDk4yadx3WwjoJrIH4IEf_3ojF4vwN7Q/s1080/march2023b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="909" data-original-width="1080" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GY-IW5yAqVu-eK0KBh9f-Da702L6HiuaVFIt8Bg0WPQrM-ODikfXzIxS8c626zxPtaLrZhjMi6h-SxTiFaI0B7Enzy5kcJlNrgfKvakgsKNE0ezvQZb9wlCy1jBkSupUeNQVWfhVikBGrpk2AAU4WSSQ_UmDk4yadx3WwjoJrIH4IEf_3ojF4vwN7Q/w640-h538/march2023b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>I'm trying to make Christmas cards early this year, so I decided to go with a winter themed card for this wagon full of books.
