Life is Like a Camera

 Howdy, everyone! I am celebrating another one of my cards finally making it over the Canadian border, this time to my dear friend Bethie. I met her long ago when I joined Technique Junkies Newsletter and she was on the design team where she still is today. Since I wasn't able to do Christmas cards, I wanted to make her a New Year's card. 

I also wanted to use one of my favorite TJ stamps on it. I combined two TJ stamps sets: Like a Camera and Butter My Butt, along with a Clear Dollar Stamps alpha set to make the 2021 sentiment (all hand-stamped). I love the illustration and all of the advice and of course, that Southern saying, lol. I used Promarkers to color the middle section of the card. I kept it flat for mailing.

  
I was inspired by Split Coast Stampers Slimline sketch SC814, resizing in PSE to my standard slimline dimensions of 4 x 9.25" before printing out so I could use the triangles as templates. I like those dimensions because they fit a #10 envie perfectly, as those are the ones I use.

My card base is Springhill card stock and all of the designer papers are from Echo Park's 12x12 Creative Agenda collection which includes journaling cards, graphics and alpha stickers and borders. On the front I used one of the triangle borders along with the camera print paper and another print for the triangles. 

Inside, I hand-stamped the Autumn Leaves circle on the left and then printed out a Digi Doodle sentiment from Champagne Wishes.

On the back, I've used more of the camera print paper and a few of the paper collection's cute graphics stickers along with a Hero Arts siggie stamp.

And a final view. Thanks for visiting me and I hope you are staying well and warm! Until next time, XOX
