This rainy long weekend day was a great day to get some outgoing mail made. The firefly card is for my in laws and the heart card for my parents. The grey card is currently in my mini library with a gift card to the local bakery.
I tried using the July 2020 Hero Arts kit to make this under the sea card, but I need to fix the dolphins. I stamped them lopsided.
I went to visit my parents this weekend, for the first time since COVID. It was so great to see them, but nerve-racking and second-guessing myself if it was safe enough yet. We were distanced, wore masks, and stayed outside. I would like to see them again soon and will use the same precautions.
I made this card using bleach, with a technique I learned on YouTube, using a Gina K tutorial. I liked the way it turned out and will be mailing it to my folks on Monday.
I got a new cutting die in the mail on Friday and experimented with a new card. I paired it with an embossing folder that also arrived recently. The embossing folder reminds me of a car tire, as well as the knitting pattern it was designed as. The card I made does NOT suit the weather and I’m still having trouble with heat embossing, but whatevs. I’m still learning and having fun with it.
