Good morning!
I'm here to share another Guest Designer post for the Shopping Our Stash Challenge!
For Challenge #5, let's use some of those tools we *had* to have but don't use often-could be your eyelet setter, circle cutter, decorative scissors, fastenator, tiny attacher, cropodile or maybe you have an embossing folder that has not yet been used, nestabilities that haven't been opened, or even your paper piercer can be called into use on your project! Use a tool that is rather neglected!
Well this proved to be a bit of a challenge for me LOL! So many tools, so little time...
I settled on using a stencil that has been in the package unused, a nestabilities set that hasn't seen much love and my poor Cropadile that has been collecting dust.
To create this card, I put my card base in a box and laid my Crafters Workshop Flurries template over it and sprayed the middle with Spring Violet Glimmer Mist and then sprayed the other two sections with Frost Glimmer Mist. I removed the template and let the card dry, then sprayed the entire card with Glacier Glimmer Mist. This was my first experience with Glimmer Mist and the first attempt didn't go well. I used the Georgia Pacific cardstock and sprayed way too closely. This is my second attempt with Papertrey Ink cardstock and sprayed a bit further away with a much better result. {click on the picture to see the shimmer even better}
I cut the sentiment panel with my Small Deckled Mega Rectangles and then I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Holiday Sayings set and inked the edges with Memento Paris Dusk. I added the snowman eyelet using my Cropadile...the first attempt with that didn't go well either since I lost the directions and the poor snowman got stuck LOL. I managed to save him.
What tools have you neglected lately? Why not join us at Shopping Our Stash and show them off!
