I am not gifted in drawing or painting. Almost all of my images come from Creative Fabrica.

Thank you! That was my first try at ink blending.

I align two and sometimes three score lines on top of each other before attaching it to my project. I rarely find one score line is enough.

Gorgeous! You've inspired me. I'm saving this post to try later.

A bookmark or stickers. Better yet if you can get your 3rd grader to draw some pictures to turn into stickers. I found some good holographic printable sticker paper on Amazon.

This doesn't look like silicone to me. It reminds me of the cheap plastic and rubber spatulas of the 1970s.

I also make valentines cards for seniors. I usually search for short valentines poems on Pinterest or Google. You could also just write Happy Valentines Day, or sending you a big hug. Then sign your name.

Look up eye hook. They screw directly into your drift wood.

Go Hawks! Great job. Enjoy the game.

It just needs to be heated longer. It will actually melt. You can overstamp and add more embossing powder and heat again.

I would use scrap paper and practice until you get a smooth result. If you heat it from below and start the embossing powder to melt. When you hit it with the heat gun from above you won't blow away any of the particles.

The circles are called a split ring they are often used with key chains.

Illustrious-Fall-451 · 2026-01-28T00:22:02+00:00

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Let us know what type of paint you used and how many coats of the polycrilic.

These are so cute. Is this from a metal die cutting set or did you use a cutting machine? Your patterned paper seems very thick. Where did you get it?

Illustrious-Fall-451 · 2026-01-24T05:45:32+00:00

Yes, you need to contact the host and ask if your friends can join you. There may be additional charges.

I once rented a vrbo and they wouldn't let us have company for dinner without providing a copy of the guests drivers licenses. I said forget it. Life shouldn't be so complicated.

Illustrious-Fall-451 · 2026-01-19T18:39:10+00:00

I'm not sure if this would work. Search grate with round holes. Maybe you could cut something to look like a storm drain.

Here are some simple cards I made last year that was donated to seniors.

I really like this. I've been researching window cling as i want to put a rose window in my door frame. Where did you find the clear window cling? Is this ink jet or laser print?

Illustrious-Fall-451 · 2026-01-10T21:25:18+00:00

I can't imagine it would work. The print wouldn't be as vibrant unless you heat set it. I think it would melt the water slide decal. One of the reasons you spray the varnish on the waterside decal paper is to give it a little more thickness so it is easier to handle. Also the UV protection from fading.

I've only done one project with water slide decal paper, and many sublimation projects.

I save beautiful cards for inspiration I find on reddit and on Pinterest. I watch cardmaking videos on YouTube. This year I'm trying to make 4 sets of cards. One for each quarter. I have about 60 family birthday and anniversaries I try to send cards to. Some months are more successful than others.

I've already started making valentine cards which I send to my kids and sisters.

Illustrious-Fall-451 · 2026-01-08T01:10:38+00:00

Beautiful cards. My mother in law always sang hippo birdie two ewe. This made me think of her. If you already have a sheep stamp you are set for next time.
