MAKE IT MAIL IT Monday!

 Good morning, everyone!

To say I'm having a rough morning is an understatment. I really think I'm in need of a new phone. For some reason. I can't see it being the laptop. The HP is only 18 months old. Days like today I really miss my Toshiba. I've had to go the long way around to get this photo off of my phone and in the blog post. A big shout out and Thank You to my sister, Crazy Lady Creations for suggesting I try emailing the photo to myself.  Yay!!!


The card was inspired by a Pre-Retreat challenge. I took part in my upline team's Creativate Retreat. This was my third retreat. I've often reminded of old techniques as well as learning new things.

Today's card was all about Monochramatic Layers. There are three mats in the same color family layered on a white card base, then the image is stamped on white and added as the final layer. 

I chose Greens for my color scheme: Just Jade, Granny Apple Green, Soft Sea Foam.  I chose an image from Nature's Harvest Stamp set and 'Thanks' from Amazing Thanks dies. Keep in mind - you can choose any color family you want. The greens just spoke to me this morning.

CUTTING DIRECTIONS:

Card Base - 4.25" x 5.5"

Just Jade - 4-3/4" x 3-1/2"

Granny Apple Green - 4-1/2" x 3-1/4"

Soft Sea Foam - 4-1/4" x 3"

Basic White (image layer) - 4" x 2-3/4"

You'll also need a scrap of the Just Jade for the die cut.

MAKE IT - MAIL IT Monday!

 Good morning, everyone!

Bit rainy, gloomy in nthe Ozarks this morning but I'm finally feeling productive. 

I'm kicking off a new series called Make It - Mail It Monday.

How many cards have we all made over the years that are sitting in a box yet to bring someone joy? I know I have a lot of them!

While not all of my blog posts will link to YouTube and vice versa, this one will be covered on both channels. Here I will share the product links and dimensions for the cards I'm making on my YouTube Channel.  However, today is a bit different.

I rearranged the stamping corner to accomodate strictly Stampin' Up! stuff. In the process, I put my Akron camera mount too far back on the filming/ crafting table and I just could not get things in frame. After three attempts, today is just a show and tell on the video but the dimensions and product links are here, as will be the normal. 

Here's today's card:
