Oct. 12, 2020 Oh. My. Two blogs in as many days. What is happening? Actually, I had a few requests for Halloween cards so I thought I would post what I created. Enjoy.
It was suggested that the last card with the eyes would not be appropriate for any of my charities. It is, of course, my favorite. The stamp was given to me by my daughter and I think it turned out very Halloweeny.
Please stay safe - thanks for stopping by.

Oct. 11, 2020 Hello, one and all. It's been such a long time since I have posted anything I almost forgot how to do it. It didn't take me long to remember which buttons to push so here goes. I am posting some awesome tips today, inspired by a favorite donor of mine, Kate D. Her cards are always just perfect but what I have noticed is that her dimensional tape is not too thick. I finally asked her what she used and her answer - foam sheets from the Dollar Tree!
Look at all of these wonderful sheets of thin foam to be cut and used as thin backing for your images! Color really doesn't matter since it will be used behind the image, but I still like all the cheerful colors. Now, for those of you who own a Scan and Cut, here is what I learned to do today. I cut my images out using the .04 border setting, then changed the setting back to 0 to cut out foam outlines. They make perfect dimensional backings. I use liquid glue to adhere them to the image. I think Kate uses tape.
Another Dollar Tree item Kate recommends is their actual dimensional tape. I bought some because they had it, but as I do not need it right now, I haven't actually tried it. However, if it is good enough for Kate, then it is good enough for me! If you are making a trip to the Dollar Tree, you might as pick up some - 3 rolls for $1. Beat that, if you can.
That's all I have for now. I hope everyone is staying healthy and sane.
Thanks for dropping by. Air hugs, Jill
