Moving on to Better Days
Well, friends, it’s been a while since I shared anything with you here on my blog. I’m working on getting back into a regular flow and routine again after being out of sorts for a while. The past couple years have been tough. Instead of getting into all the boring details, let me just sum it all up to “health issues”. I am finally feeling more like myself again in the last month or so. I’m moving on to better days!
I haven’t been completely absent. You can check out the many Facebook Live videos I’ve shared on my Inking on the Fly Facebook page and the sporadic posts on Instagram. You may have even attended some of my Stampin’ Up! events since the start of this year. My monthly technique classes are up and running and I co-hosted a fantastic retreat weekend in March.
I’m excited to be at the beginning of a re-boot. There’s so much I want to create, so many people I want to connect with, and a lot of planning to do! It’s going to be AWESOME!
I’m back, Baby!
Simple Encouragement
Today, I’m sharing this simple and beautiful card design with you. The sentiment is encouraging and positive. I love that!
The card base is a clean Thick Basic White cardstock, on which I layered 3/8″ strips and a couple die-cut pieces of the Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!. I used the stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes dies and the hexagon from the Beautiful Shapes dies. The sentiment from the Greatest Journey stamp set is stamped with Versamark Ink, then heat embossed with Black Embossing Power before adhering it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Orange twine from the Three Twine Combo Pack is tied in a large bow and adhered with a Glue Dot just under the hexagon shape. Finally, the Enamel Sticker Icon element was coloured with a Pumpkin Pie Blends Marker before adhering it to the card.
Some of these products are being retired this month! They might already be sold out or they might still be available. The best way to know is to go to the online store for the most up-to-date availability.
Life is good today and it will be better in the days to come.
