Papertrey Ink MIM #80 Making Garland



It has been a while since I have had the time to play with this challenge, Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday, always a fun challenge...I love learning new techniques and this week's was a fun one. Making your own garland, I took the time to watch Ashely's video and and learned a two new things, first one was the I need a stamp press, this has to be the coolest tool and really makes for stamping on your little dies almost perfect!The second thing I learned was to double cut your die and sandwich the baker's twine between the two dies.  Just too clever and I just love the way it all turned out. My card is pretty simple but I love the look of Mr. Sunshine peeking out behind the large cloud.  Thanks for taking a peek!

  3. Wow, Kim, if this was a contest, I would call this the winner! It is just adorable with the sun peeking out. I love the yellow layer and you've used the perfect sentiment!! I learned two things: one, my PTI wish list is now ridiculously long; and two, I need to take the time to watch this video and learn about a stamp press!

  5. Oh, this is just so fun. And, what a wonderful card to send to a friend who is going through some rough times. Now, I need to watch that video, because I have always been curious about stamp presses.

  12. Me again. As I was climbing into bed last night, I realized that you might have meant, "Where are YOU?" and not "Where ARE you?" If that's the case, I'm Bama in the picture. That's what the twinks call me. Dan is our son, their dad. And Papa (to the twinks) is "Mister" (to me) on my blog.

    Now I'm curious, which did you mean? lol!
