Colorado Craft Company – Release Day – March 2022!

Nothing makes a day quite like Anita Jeram RELEASE day from COLORADO CRAFT COMPANY! And today Colorado Craft Company is releasing (5) Anita Jeram stamp sets and dies, two Lovely Legs stamp sets and one Savvy Sentiments mini set.

Such cute sentiments with the Laundry Day set including Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff! Wishing you better days ahead and one of my favorites, I Miss You More Than Any Missing Sock! I chose the “It looks like you’re having one of those days” for my card, here.

Laundry Day

This next card from the Anita Jeram, “Bon Appetit!” set is perfect as a Thank you card or a card to let a friend know it’s time for some time together! I think it would be sweet delivered with some muffins or cookies, too!

Bon Appetit!

And lastly this card from one of the Lovely Legs sets, “Poured Out Easter.” The set features several sentiments along with two images. The sentiment “Jesus is heaven’s alabaster jar BROKEN and POURED OUT for you! by Anne Graham Lotz is my favorite.

Hats Off to You!

One of my other favorite collections is Savvy Sentiments. Always appropriate as a stand alone sentiment or a focal point or as a backdrop with other images.

Get Cracking on Christmas – Colorado Craft Company

Let’s Get Cracking on Christmas! Featuring another Colorado Craft Company, Anita Jeram set this month, “Flurries of Fun!” and the snow flurry from the “Kittens and Mittens” set.

Jenn is celebrating her first in -person event in 2 years with 250 people at “Crop on the Cape!”

Her LIVE will be on YouTube Thursday March 24th at 8p ET(this is the week AFTER Get Cracking) sharing how she made her card, and encouraging everyone to work on your own cards.

I LOVE being a part of “Get Cracking On Christmas” as by the time November rolls around, I have a container filled with cards and it really alleviates the stress of gathering up last minute ideas. Give it a try, the third Thursday of the month, we would love to see what you create!

An adorable Anita Jeram image from Colorado Craft Company. Sentiment by Pinkfresh Studio.

Flurries of Fun

My background is one of several I made with my gel plate and some Distress Oxide inks. This particular background is one with left over brayering where I just cleaned off my rollers. I just love how it created the snow like shadows. I colored my images with Copic Markers and then enhanced the colors with Caran d’ache Luminence colored pencil. The snow flurries in the sky were heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The sentiment “Peace and Joy” is heat activated foil with Spellbinders Glimmer foil in Speckled Prism. This sentiment set includes so many different holiday sentiments and the matching die set is available making it easy to make all those greetings up ahead of time so they are ready to use.

Thanks for stopping by and I am wishing you PEACE and JOY!
