As I've been trying to get crafty more regularly again, I've been sorting through ALOT of handmade backgrounds from my stash to finally use. These cards are from one of those - using alcohol inked iridescent cardstock. I used the Eternal Flame Cover Plate by Catherine Pooler Designs(CP Designs). Unfortunately I forgot to use some Press n Seal to keep all the negative pieces in place to stick on the other card base. So, it took me an entire evening to get them all pieced in the right places for the negative one. WHEW! lol. And, yes, there is a crystal gem missing on the one diamond birthday card, but that has been resolved. Just too lazy to retake photos. </span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnx5mhNmYFVm_KglDKFil3oBUo1i5TXgkQmBwU3QBKv0X7-FPzwFz9Wy1SXF8eyUQKckT01BuOG17R4Ds47BtLOZtZTKPb0sDm78ExtDx9mnH24fdLMH26q7Db-aqbiEpRV39DWbBgV32nYY476rEsLmv5qc3mQmM9_tac8kXlCtomZBpOWIvoT1DC3gQ/s3149/ShinyHello.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3149" data-original-width="2739" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnx5mhNmYFVm_KglDKFil3oBUo1i5TXgkQmBwU3QBKv0X7-FPzwFz9Wy1SXF8eyUQKckT01BuOG17R4Ds47BtLOZtZTKPb0sDm78ExtDx9mnH24fdLMH26q7Db-aqbiEpRV39DWbBgV32nYY476rEsLmv5qc3mQmM9_tac8kXlCtomZBpOWIvoT1DC3gQ/w556-h640/ShinyHello.jpg" width="556" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Other supplies for above card: Border die (Pretty Pink Posh); Foiled sentiment word (Pinkfresh Studio); Diamond embossing folder (Cuttlebug); Plain circle die cut (CP Designs) inked in Pucker Up ink (CPDesigns) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhha7nFyaNQ8t3aOeFcxgEVOD9rP7I0k1oDtVFWU7ZQ5RCRNl3DY4W4cVRjYWwNPUqK6I60zINc7LDaEQFQsFBuxOW8hcEbVjNOcMac8Mw_-2JyyAnOZaGGlAni_KlGM5tadpVhS44W2NBijnuifvExQQrG8h0xjnt19mgoef5iswgK79qOp2GMGVKH9G8/s2672/BirthdayPoints.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2672" data-original-width="2437" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhha7nFyaNQ8t3aOeFcxgEVOD9rP7I0k1oDtVFWU7ZQ5RCRNl3DY4W4cVRjYWwNPUqK6I60zINc7LDaEQFQsFBuxOW8hcEbVjNOcMac8Mw_-2JyyAnOZaGGlAni_KlGM5tadpVhS44W2NBijnuifvExQQrG8h0xjnt19mgoef5iswgK79qOp2GMGVKH9G8/w584-h640/BirthdayPoints.jpg" width="584" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Other supplies for above card: diamond tag die (Pretty Pink Posh); Birthday sentiment, diamond border and diamond shape stamps (Catherine Pooler Designs); Silver metallic ink (Catherine Pooler Inks); Tranquil and Pucker Up inks (CP Designs), clear gems.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7Tz2cqvYIPgbMiBaGgIfWyNzIYUEq3YFYnFeFpF_TBSjS5bJe0MSHwPK_ZvpaK_RS9YU8_l_7T_0fXoQRmDntBYFlHzmShw3syKl0ONPAQAm_lfuCQmqiQd1-_ViTr046hbxY48eZrLaGgYrsMIQFLHtMfr_qamO4aggnrwSsYsU6D0FEHM_gZk6wps/s2878/BdayBlessings.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2878" data-original-width="2817" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7Tz2cqvYIPgbMiBaGgIfWyNzIYUEq3YFYnFeFpF_TBSjS5bJe0MSHwPK_ZvpaK_RS9YU8_l_7T_0fXoQRmDntBYFlHzmShw3syKl0ONPAQAm_lfuCQmqiQd1-_ViTr046hbxY48eZrLaGgYrsMIQFLHtMfr_qamO4aggnrwSsYsU6D0FEHM_gZk6wps/w626-h640/BdayBlessings.jpg" width="626" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Other Supplies for above card: Circle die cut (Pinkfresh Studios); Sentiment (Catherine Pooler Designs) and Faithful Flutterings stamp set (retired - Catherine Pooler Designs); Tranquil, Pucker Up and Pixie Dust inks (CP Designs).</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Thanks for visiting.

Next I decided to make it a full card shaker. I used some craft plastic to make my pouch. I think next time I will forage for some discarded stamp set plastic as this plastic was thicker and a little hard to bend. At any rate, it worked. I added lots of green and yellow gold sequins. I finished the card off by adding a large Shamrock inked in CP Mardis Gras ink and a sentiment embossed on Deck The Halls ink (CP Ink again).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">For Following Challenges:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=34765" style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/57e0248d5257c4052766941.gif" width="200" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">A Bit O' Green</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-a-bit-o-green-2/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2017/02/SSS_Wednesday-Challenge-Blinkie-3.gif" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">A Bit o' Green</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://thefourseasonschallenge.blogspot.com/2024/03/spring-season-march-2024-challenge.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="304" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD52gkEakjrj9ubg39cHQIKn1rjEIyBnnPe6VdctOKB2-RjB-6iXUwUEy9dGvM0YnIS5JMA8Oe8EYmGh0OSpHkvyvxjAcBKUtqYdu8lwOQ43kwf9RbdPFmLDFMNfARTLlxqEhsoJLZ930i5fqU02iuQDEYA08NBNlS3rxJYAqBfLOEP_Si9SKWMEsQbpA/s320/Four%20Seasons%20Spring%2024.jpg" width="243" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Four Seasons Challenge</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Thanks for visiting my blog.

Life has been a little chaotic in the Salkeld Suite this year. I've been able to craft a little here and there but not as much as I'd like and definitely haven't had the time to share things.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>Our Ellie has had a year herself, which wound up with her being on bedrest/confined, went through physical therapy and ultimately, knee surgery, which entailed more confinement and more recuperation for her. So that in turn increased her humans responsibilities in caring for her convalescence. Now she is fully healed and running around like her normal wild self. Now both cats are going through their own issues that have required multiple vet visits and meds. The hubs and I are just trying to keep the chaos down to a minimum at this point. </span><span>So it makes crafting more challenging.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This is a card I created for my Stamp Nation penpal. I pulled out a background made two years ago using the "leaf painting" technique and a gel plate. I added some gold splatters to it, stamped a sentiment and then added the braided frame (Fall Frames Dies by Catherine Pooler). Ive been trying to use up background pieces I've had sitting in my UFO box.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnTre7zw6YYt0TMBHgj3GJcA5FijWvf3AxvqbFue1UuPDVZ6VCsbq9IWSM0l7o3hCKtg6NqppIq6yRtzuNYW7_4WtDMmluUo8Zjt9avseOLejqVrBjw7du1OaprRjybzXWOT6VsLl0nFU89BN2yjx__OrmWdRNMbjN0geOYfDeIkTC4jfBp5OeK9ClNA/s3350/Paintedleaves%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3350" data-original-width="2993" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnTre7zw6YYt0TMBHgj3GJcA5FijWvf3AxvqbFue1UuPDVZ6VCsbq9IWSM0l7o3hCKtg6NqppIq6yRtzuNYW7_4WtDMmluUo8Zjt9avseOLejqVrBjw7du1OaprRjybzXWOT6VsLl0nFU89BN2yjx__OrmWdRNMbjN0geOYfDeIkTC4jfBp5OeK9ClNA/w572-h640/Paintedleaves%20(1).jpg" width="572" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Thanks for stopping by!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0095; font-family: Kaushan Script; font-size: x-large;">Nance</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Nancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09825828285156262772noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659759404722280387.post-19685107454906853402023-04-24T00:00:00.008-04:002023-04-24T00:00:00.169-04:00Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #567 - Pink, Orange, Yellow - Week 2<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Hello!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

I chopped off the bottom corner of it, added that cute border, also by Catherine Pooler Designs (I think) and stamped the sentiment in the same Be Mine pink ink.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Sparkly Easter</span> Blessings!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfN9_fAwfvTKF5lxa12cwgGHx4exkPnB6Q_bjQLT4AQ9iMQpAEzPYmWnhTrJqHnqkLj6N_PgdrGHljppDgssoYuJ2h3ghK0nZ-l0aY9c5l5W4EDUA_l-sH_NtDDS4GIXSkuCBiGCFoKtGakuccsxj3SRf6_YF-g-XtOuNHRsiucTiHj0e62ckD77Sq/s300/BlogSig.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="300" height="67" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfN9_fAwfvTKF5lxa12cwgGHx4exkPnB6Q_bjQLT4AQ9iMQpAEzPYmWnhTrJqHnqkLj6N_PgdrGHljppDgssoYuJ2h3ghK0nZ-l0aY9c5l5W4EDUA_l-sH_NtDDS4GIXSkuCBiGCFoKtGakuccsxj3SRf6_YF-g-XtOuNHRsiucTiHj0e62ckD77Sq/w200-h67/BlogSig.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Nancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09825828285156262772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659759404722280387.post-26169516334419417562023-04-03T01:23:00.001-04:002023-04-03T01:23:58.459-04:00Egg-stra Special Chick<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Hello again!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I have another post for today. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGReaVidbWhWwfJ-isnK0CgyTPq_vnYn1pp-zsQQiYmqJirnP8oFzxxYgfoNtVMFuPL3suNacgKfxJ76SJ3z14yq-vcv7I-B6mGPENX_fLOmS1p_JsKZpduGrrTlNWEo0OGZdhgKABcL9Lsx0kMic72aMOVv-S_CT0gHsb8uuZglqoEpeLh1wnlDdp/s2048/EggstraSpecial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1652" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGReaVidbWhWwfJ-isnK0CgyTPq_vnYn1pp-zsQQiYmqJirnP8oFzxxYgfoNtVMFuPL3suNacgKfxJ76SJ3z14yq-vcv7I-B6mGPENX_fLOmS1p_JsKZpduGrrTlNWEo0OGZdhgKABcL9Lsx0kMic72aMOVv-S_CT0gHsb8uuZglqoEpeLh1wnlDdp/w517-h640/EggstraSpecial.jpg" width="517" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I've been trying to finish up a few cards for Easter and use a couple of new to me products I recently bought. This card is all NBUS except for the ink, sentiment and the enamel dots. The egg die and the chick die are both from Whimsy Stamps. The chick is part of the Penguin Pals die set. The egg die I cut in half with a border die (Catherine Pooler Designs) to create the cracked egg. The stenciled background is an egg stencil by Simon Says Stamp and inked up with Catherine Pooler inks. The sentiment is from Stamping Bella.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I love how this card turned out with all those bright rainbow colors.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">For Following Challenges:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2023/03/freshly-made-sketches-579-sketch-by-jen.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="400" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhac1mMS0obdewX_q9E7sdzRPCX2YsS76AS9Htwf9L1tnXzq6_5yBDqTBrfhUgwN9fOowWuNw6IcOXcXvvxP0xuznkFXl08ThCfgQQlzCQZpMJPLVYjprIgB_GL6q4PUSMDRJUiXBCfxEsu_kfLY6hVxeie9VXepfRuP6dTpaT3Yr3U_rEcVwLgyTBf/s320/FMS%20Final%20579-001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2023/03/freshly-made-sketches-579-sketch-by-jen.html">Freshly Made Sketches #579</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://mynbus.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="169" data-original-width="230" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_QbGtiuCD2KNJGmjN2HErgnb3zLLtKeoyHsFp4l4lWws_mLRMbO_cz5FLfmX-nAiNg6N5aUah1nFoF7bhikhNlkwg-p0MLJLVjfHGeQgjYMzxXsPsLUg2Y2ohugpOAexrUuVhxtB87RFDVDsLZJGcj4kq5FkiDDu-tBOvZfdh_jP790g_R6Xw-Bmi/s1600/2%20small%20USE%20THIS%20ONE%20NBUS%20participants%20badge%20with%20URL.jpg" width="230" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://mynbus.blogspot.com/2023/04/nbus-challenge-49.html"><span style="font-family: verdana;">NBUS Challenge #49</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

font-family: verdana; font-size: large; text-align: left;">I am late getting this post live. I thought I had done this post and the next before I went on a two week vacation but just discovered I did not. And, I brought home more from my vacation than I bargained for - a cold that just got worse and worse up until late yesterday. And thankfully it was nothing more than just a cold, confirmed with 2 negative Covid tests. Today I feel mostly human again and almost back to normal post-vacation routine. </span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">So, let me get on with the post. This week began a new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations - Valentines Day. We also have a sponsor this week, The Whimsical Art Witch who generously gave us a couple images to play with. This week, I chose the Gnome Hearts image for my card.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDBxU6691TmbbBlRfM4VIGpba4LbR-5G8jnO1-JpH8vDD3bm4TRHqj4IE193JWVZIinEPmFQAe-fd2zVIKR9YoI-0jpeHmbWP8jrWbW1dKexZYDo9MhNacX3Ty32Pagis_KCO5kakV5974rfzsEKNoOFve5-aVzkM-4VfvK-qq790KMLWE9OnEn48M/s3573/CIC%23562ValentineGnome.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;
