Apple of A teacher's life


 Trudy came up with a grand idea! Use glitter and add a layer of glaze. That's the current Mix-ability Challenge this week (MIX16) on Splitcoast Stampers.

Here's my mix for the challenge. I've not used it in a while, but it makes the best quick glaze for glitter. Seriously quick. I dripped some Fast Finish Decoupage liquid on my craft mat and mixed in Cherry Pearl Glitter from Stampendous. I stirred it up with a skewer (that has some bubbly yet dry Beacon Zip Dry glue on the tip... you KNOW, I use up all the glue in the jar friends) and then scribbled it onto the apples from Teacher's Count and the loopy frame from On Occasion Verve Stamps.

 Here's the supplies.


Here's the mix'in.

See that glitter and glaze? It's a quick finish in minutes!


My card mix goes something like this. I stamped apples, loopy frame and sentiment from Verve Stamps on white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. The coordinating Apples Die set was used to cut out the apples and Occasion Frame die for the loopy frame. Then I started the glittering step already covered above. The apple background paper was corner rounded as well as the card base and then it was all layered together with a blue polka dot pennant trim and polka dot ribbon (both from Verve).

I doodled a bit on the pattern paper to pull it all together for a fun teacher's thank you card. With just enough time to spare to hand deliver it.

Stamps:  Teacher's Count and On Occasion (Verve Stamps)
Paper: kraft (Hobby Lobby), white (Neenah), Apple Cheddar (Jillibean Soup)

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
