New technique to me....

Hello, I must first off welcome another follower to my blog.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 
Now I decided to try something new to me that i found out from a fellow card maker and friend. This technique uses the negative part of stickers.  You know what's left on the paper backing when you use the positive sticker image.  So don't toss these out you can still use them.  Here is a card I did with the negative sticker image.  It's very CAS and I actually really like it. Here it is: 

It's really cool and easy to do.  I used some sticky transfer paper called Stardust.  You peel the backing of and add the negative sticker to it and put the sticky side back on the backing paper and burnish the image with a bone folder. Make sure you do this very well than take the backing off and stick it to your card or what ever you want it on.  Then just peel the Transfer paper off carefully.  It can re -used so do not toss it.  I put my sticker on some card stock and circle punched it out and attached to the card front with foam dots.  I also scored some lines to top left and bottom right sides of card front.  I then decided it needed a bit more so added the negative of a few flowers stickers, done the exact same way as I did the center sticker and added to black gemstones too. And Voila, you have a card.  It was something different to try.  The stickers are from Elizabeth Crafts as was the transfer paper.  A friend had given me a few supplies from her stash for me to try the technique out and I do think I will be ordering more, it was fun to make. 

Do drop back later this evening or possibly tomorrow for another new technique to me it's called "Burnished Micro Glitter" I believe and it is a lot of fun too.  See ya soon.  And thanks for coming by for a visit!

Until next time,

Been helping out  a friend who runs a house cleaning biz who is short handed and going on vacation for a few weeks and asked me to step in while she is gone.  Needless to say I've been getting dirty cleaning rather than crafting, LOL......  But I did get time yesterday afternoon to make 2 cards for Birthdays and that I plan to enter in a few Challenges.  But unfortunately you'll have to wait til later today to see them, gotta go clean some houses!!  But do check back later today to see what I have come up with.  

Oh and we have another new follower, YAY!  Only 7 more needed until  the blog candy can find a new home with one of my lovely followers!  

Gotta run,

See you all later today.....................................

Blogs, Cards, Challenges Oh My..........

Hey there everyone.  Happy Saturday!  It's a rainy one here in Texas.  I am planning to work on some cards here in a bit hopefully....  But I have a question for all of you crafty peeps, do any of you ever get a little over whelmed with all the challenges, swaps, ect... out here on the web?  I really want to get to where one project can be appropriate for more than just one challenge ect.  So how do all you long time crafter's handle this?   I would love hear from you on this subject.  

And now for a little SURPRISE, I am planning on giving some blog candy away when I hit 25 followers.  So I am hoping you'll pass the word and get your other crafty friends to come visit me and if they are so inclined become a follower. But to be eligible a follower must follow the blog from the "join this site"  button on the blog.  Need to get 12 more followers and then there will be some blog candy to give a way.  Will post a picture of the Blog Candy soon.  All the followers names will be put into a hat and my hubby will pick the Winner.  So if you just pop in once in a while you may want to follow for a chance to win.  And please be courteous and do not become a follower of the blog unless you truly will follow.....I would not do this to you and I will reciprocate the love back to your blog when you follow me.  So tell your other crafty friends with blogs so we can have some Fun with a Give-a-way, Yay!!!

OK I am off to get into something crafty.................

Until next time.
Have a great Weekend.....................
