Hello, You Make Me Smile

Hello, All 

This post is sharing with you cards I made using very minimal supplies. I just love making cards like this.  Distress Oxide Spray to the rescue when you want something a little artsy and splashy. 

 

To achieve the spashy background, I put a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of watercolor paper on a junk blank notebook and sprayed away.  I then used my heat tool to dry the spray.  Each card is different as you can't control where the sprays go.  I currently only have these 4 colors of distress Oxide sprays-and thought why not use them all. :)  As always - the first one is my practice run so that I can get a feel of how the bottle sprays. 

There you have it, another card in the books and already in the mail to friends. 

Supplies used: 

Paper Anthology: 

Memory Box Antique Rose Cluster Label Die

Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments Clear Stamp

Memory Box Big and Little Words Clear Stamp

Hey Friends,

Yes!!  It's me!  I know, I know it has been a while since I have posted.

This time-I have an excuse for my absence:
His name is Jaxon and he will be 4 months in 2 days.

Since having baby Jaxon, I've had a hard time finding who I am.  I decided to join in the 'Card Pals' card exchange from Paper Anthology in New Jersey.  I needed a little something to help get me get creative and active again and this was the push I needed.  

This is the card I made to send out to my July Card Pal and it is officially in the mail to her.

Card making is my first 'Crafty Joy' and I am pretty happy to be making cards again.  My goal is to make cards and to actually MAIL the cards.  With this design, I made 6 cards and mailed out 6 cards.   

How cute is this stamp set by Everyday Explorers Co, it adds the perfect touch to my envelopes. 

I hope that you are doing well through this pandemic and staying safe.  

Thanks for stopping by.
