The Conductor

Hello friends!

Brrrr....only about 57 days until spring, and I am SO ready! Hope you are staying warm wherever you are today. 

We needed a Birthday Card for a darling grandson that is turning 3 next Monday. I found the cutest digi image at Tiddly Inks, and decided that our little sweetie will have a train card this year. This image is called The Conductor.

Rylan loves to get 'grandma cards', so this one needed to be a bit interesting for him. I decided to do a fun Z-fold card.  While trying to plan a background, I found another digi image at Tiddly Inks, Happy Day Background...perfect!!!

I cuddled up under my blanket, took my images and Copic markers, and colored myself happy. After the images were colored, I created the card. Wish you could see the Glossy Accents on the train wheels and cars - makes the images come to life!

Here's my card:

I always go to Tiddly Inks when I need a sweet image, and again, they didn't disappoint!  They are having a DT Call through the end of January - if you are interested, check out the details HERE.

Measurements for card:

Base: 5" x 11", scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

Z Band: 1 1/2" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4"

The mats are cut to these dimensions:

2 @ 2 1/2" x 4 3/4"

1 @ 5 1/4" x 4 3/4"

2 @ 2 1/2" x 1 1/4"

1 @ 5 1/4" x 1 1/4"

You will adhere your Z band to the panel, using adhesive on only the far left section and far right sections. If you have questions, give me a shout!

Thanks for stopping by today - happy creating!!!

Hugs and grins,

Time to Celebrate!

Hi there!

So, have you been following the Great Impressions blog this week?

All week long, our DT has been showcasing fun things for kids - each day has

had new inspiration of the non-card variety!

My project today, is to celebrate school being out for the summer.

What kid doesn't get excited to see that last day of school roll around?

I thought that was cause for celebration, and used Great Impressions Stamps

E-759 Time to Celebrate to create this fun candy tin for a young lady we know.

She loved it - hope you will enjoy it, too!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Don't forget about the GI challenge!

The theme for May is 'Celebrate Spring'.

You don't have to use GI stamps, but we'd love it if you did!

If you use GI stamps be sure to link up to the customer gallery HERE. 

Be sure to stop by the Great Impressions store HERE and treat yourself to a few new stamps!

Did you know shipping is free over $25?! 

Have a great weekend,

Patti J.
