Hope you are enjoying the November DeNami Blog Hop!


This month, the challenge was to make a anything but a card. You should have arrived here from Karen Larkin's amazing blog. 

If not, head on over to the DeNami Blog for the master list of hop participants. 

You'll want to stay on track… leaving a comment on every blog along the way (including the DeNami Blog) gives you a chance to win one of THREE $20 DeNami gift certificates!!!! Another $20 gift certificate will be given to a randomly chosen blog hop participant!


I have seen a few of these framed Christmas decor projects and I decided to give it a go.

I started by stamping the snowflakes in white StazOn on the back of the glass. 


Then I embossed the sentiment on the surface of the glass. You can see it a little better in the picture above. At this point I couldn't decide if I wanted to leave the back off the frame or not - it looked kinda nice ether way. Ultimately, I added a piece of shimmery blue card stock to the back. 

Here's a quick pic of the frame with no backing, only the glass, hanging on the wall in my craft room...



Which do you like better?

Anywho, off to your next stop which is Sarah Vait- Melby! Happy Hopping!!!

JUGS #110 - Ghosting

| Published 11.12.2011



Need a new, fun, easy technique to add to your repertoire? Over at Just Us Girls, lovely Lisa has just the ticket!


It's the ghosting technique - one that was totally new to me! I've used emboss-resist many times but this is easier and produces such a great look! There's a link HERE on Splitcoast Stampers. Over on the JUGS blog, Lisa also mentions you can do the same technique with white ink… gotta try that too :)


Since I love me some purple, I decided that was the way to go :) I didn't have any big sheets of glossy card stock so I used 5x7 photo paper instead. I won't lie - I actually had two previous attempts prior to this card - the paper just wasn't right both times and the resist didn't work. I even tried heat setting the versamark to no avail. Finally I decided to try the Kodak photo paper and it worked PERFECTLY! What a difference! So easy!!!

I stamped a music sheet background with versamark then sponged milled lavender distress ink over top. Then I stamped several snowflakes in dusty concord distress ink. 

Lisa picked a winner with this technique! I'll be using it again FOR SURE - I love the way that background turned out!!!

Let's see what the rest of the talented JUGS DT has whipped up!!!

Ready for a new DeNami Product Spotlight? It's a good 'un :)

This large mitten is so much fun! 


For this card, I used DeNami's Large Mitten, Let It Snow sentiment, Medium Lacy Flake, and the snowflake from the Holiday Petit Four. I colored the mitten with topic markers and used liquid appliqué for the cuff. To get the texture on the mitt, I used an piece of an old shirt soaked in colorless blender. Kinda cozy :)

Make sure to see what the rest of the amazing DeNami DT as well as Glenda, our guest designer for the Month of November, have in store!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
