Retiform Blog Hop


This is my first time participating in a blog hop with TAC.  Today's blog hop is to do the technique Retiform.  It has been a long long time since I have done this. 

I used the TAC stamp set Joy Found.  I also used Copic Markers, Palette Stamp Pads, Ivory Cardstock, Green Cardstock and the small round sponges.  Below is a bigger picture of my card.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you have the time click on over to Savvy Projects Blog and check out all the other entries.  You won't be sorry.

Design Team Call

What do I have to lose?  The Angel Company has a Design Team Call out and I have decided to post for it.  You don't know unless you try, right?  Anyway I think it would really boost my morale and creativity for stamping again.  I thought and thought about it and decided to give it a go.
With that being said...here are my entries.  We had to do three cards and a project. The first picture shows all three projects together.
The project I decided to do is a gift snack jar.  It is just a glass jar purchased at Hobby Lobby.  I used our Emma paper collection, mini bet alphabet, Cupcake Cuties stamp set, copic marker, flowers and my Cricut to cut the letter "S".  Here it is up close:




My next one is a card done with Oh No She Didn't stamp set, copic markers and the cardstock that matches the copic markers.  I also used an embossing folder and corner punch to give dimension to the cardstock.


My next card is a masculine cards.  You can't get enough of those.  I used the All Things of Nature and Ordinary Greetings stamp sets.  The coloring is done with chalks.  I used an embossing folder on black cardstock and rubbed them with a VersaMagic Metallic ink pads.

The last card is a very simple card.  It is done with our Maggie paper collection and our Ivory Cardstock.  It is the best color of Ivory I have ever used.  I also used the Extra Jumbo Flower Punch with a leaf punch I had laying around.  The stamp set is the Savvy Sayings set which I love.

Wish me Luck.  I hope you have enjoyed my projects!  Have a blessed day!!!!!!
