This card is me trying to step outside of my comfort zone. I am not a fan of gold anything. It just does not speak to me. However, I do like what everyone is doing with foil. Since I do not have a laminator yet, I used some old craft foil I purchased from Spellbinders. I ran it through my diecutting machine with double sided tape attached to it. I will have another card after dinner. #handmadecards #diecutting #mftstamps #dienamics #littlebugstudio

paper_pajamas: This beautiful!! I'm like you, not real big into gold, but I sure adore the creations I've been seeing. You certainly did a fabulous job showing off some gold!
traciepond: Thank you @rubznaz โบ๏ธ I'm a firm believer in order to grow on needs to step out of their comfort zone and try new things.
traciepond: @paper_pajamas thank you, it is nice to know I'm not the only one. I really like all of the foil papers. ๐ป
tracyfp: It's hard to step outside (chicken in chief ๐ฅright here!) but what's kinda great is pretty results - like this โค๏ธ
scrapflower: Amazing card I love it @traciepond. Happy birthday Maggie
rahzicrafts: Tracie, I just saw this fabulous card in the #. I think it's very elegant and I'm delighted that you would think of me. I've been so blessed by all the birthday wishes from all my IG friends today. I'm on cloud nine. Bless you dear one ๐

First project using #thetonstamps. Tone on tone. Sentiment on vellum. I adhered vellum piece with runner tape for some visual interest. Not sure if I like. #papertreyink #mftstamps #littlebugstudio

instagram.com/deana.benson: I have this one. Just got it last week, but unfortunately there's not enough hours in a day to play. I was playing with Wplus9. Going to try to give that one a go today. @traciepond you made it look so pretty.
traciepond: Thanks so much @deana.benson! I think I will use this set a lot.
traciepond: Thank you @sandineumann @samineh.hoseini
altenewllc: Love it!!! Your stamped background reminds us of beautiful wrapping paper. ๐๐
traciepond: Thank you for making me smile @altenewllc. I was playing and it does not look as good any more. The good thing is this is how we grow and learn so I will create another one and probably several more.
altenewllc: @traciepond It wasn't easy for me either to play with layered stamps in the beginning. But I believe practice makes perfect. โค๏ธ (Or it's okay not to be perfect since we make 'handmade' cards.) Hugs, May
daria_grushina: This turned out beautiful:) i love that stamp set, and it became easier already second time I used it, actually I found out even if not stamps perfectly lined up it anyway looks artsy and amazing:)
traciepond: @daria_grushina thanks so much for your kindness. I'm going to create with the set again real soon. ๐บ

Who am I? I am sharing this with all of you because it represents the person I am. I am not happy with how this turned out, but I am ok with that. I can and will try again! Flowers and color are dear to me. Flowers are what have helped me learn how to relax and enjoy life. Coloring and stamping are helping too. So I am "turning my cant's into cans and dreams into plans." I have been practicing a lot lately and really want to be an inspiration. So many have inspired me. #altenew #mftstamps cardstock #wplus9 #handmadecards #littlebugstudio

paper_pajamas: I've been using the "sham wow" for a couple years ๐๐๐๐ @bdengler4 to clean my stamps... I may need to replace it soon.
traciepond: @bdengler4 @craftytime4u @pinkroomtherapy @rubznaz @paper_pajamas I did not have positive results the first time I tried the absorber. I believe it was user error, so I'm giving it another whirl. @laurafadora makes me smile, I adore her personality. ๐๐๐๐
paper_pajamas: Wait Whaaaa?! What are using these for?!
traciepond: @paper_pajamas absorber=stamp cleaning, novus cleaner=Misti tool cleaner, containers=storage for absorber and Misti cleaning soft cloth and clear embossing powder. Heat gun=embossing tool. So, I have a ranger HeatIt to sell.
paper_pajamas: Aaaaaah lol I dunno why but I was getting so confused ๐๐ thank you for the clarification. Don't tell anyone, I haven't had my coffee yet ๐ณ
traciepond: @paper_pajamas I can get a little excited sometimes, which easily confuses people ๐ โ๏ธ
bdengler4: And it was @starofmay who shared the awesome tip of cutting them into squares, wetting them all, then keeping them in storage container so they stay moist. Love doing that!

stempelwelt: I didn't know there was such a thing! Just looked at the scan n cut, but they are way too expensive! So thanks for telling me!
traciepond: @ritascreations my two dilemmas were I had to switch my camera setting from square to photo and had to move my mat over in order to be recognized by the cameo. That took a few to figure out and was a little agitating. But really easy once figured out. It liked my phone, so that was good. No calibration needed.
cardsbyrita: I think I'll pick up one and try it. ๐
traciepond: @stempelwelt I just couldn't spend the money for a ScanNCut. I know there are a lot of happy crafters. I had to at least try the machine I already owned (had to buy the mat). It is worth trying.
paper_pajamas: Eeeeek so thrilled for you!!!!
stempelwelt: Thanks! I don't own it yet, but already thought about it. And this would be a great plus!
lizstamps_15: Fabulous!

Just finished making ink swatches for my #altenew crisp inks. I have a fairly large assortment of inks, so just wanted to start out with the cubes. Initial review: gorgeous colors. All but the black had to be double stamped. I will provide a further review on my blog once I use them more. Thank you @jennifermcguireink for providing ink swatch templates.

Took a few minutes to try out my new watercolor brush. It is a medium brush tip, Caran d'ache aquarelle brush. I like it, now I really need to practice.

summerwalkdesigns: Tracie, I have a slightly lighter grip when I'm using pencils than with Copics. I'm still trying to get use to the Clean Color Brushes. @shayes2138 is right all of this is about practice. I remade that silly piggy card 3 times today!!! The third was the charm (laughing).
traciepond: @shayes2138 @summerwalkdesigns yes, practice is what I intend to do. I'm glad there are alternative coloring methods when one isn't working out so well.
traciepond: @mayrasdesigns @tashavovchuk @jamieruthp @kathyrac @paper_pajamas Thank You ๐
junglebarrya: How do you like that water brush?
traciepond: @junglebarrya Yes, I really like it. I will be ordering the other two sizes. I am new to water coloring, but this brush was recommended by @sandyallnock. She did a recent blog post on what water colors, paper and brushes she recommended.
junglebarrya: Thanks @traciepond . I recently bought a cheap one & it sucks the color of paint into the water, so if I'm painting with pink, the water in the pen will be pink. ๐

jakrox: Great job!
traciepond: Thank you @rubznaz @sandineumann @paper_pajamas @jakrox
traciepond: Thank you @erica_cacacraft. What inks are you finding works best with this stamp?
erica_cacacraft: Hard to say, with the big ones I usually like pigment inks as I find the coverage isn't that even with dye inks but maybe it's just my technique? I also depend on the MISTI to get a good quality image, I can't do it without one ๐
traciepond: @erica_cacacraft I'm finding pigment inks work the best too! Oh and Papertrey ink works good too. Yes, love my Misti!!! ๐
erica_cacacraft: I want more inks but am really trying to cut down on my craft spending (so hard!!)
thetonstamps: These are gorgeous!!
traciepond: Thanks @thetonstamps ๐
Off to a better start with the absorber this time around. I'm wondering if I grabbed the wrong thing the first time. Kudos to @laurafadora for coming up with this gem of a stamp cleaning tool. Look at the difference in the two stamps. The first impression I thought my stamp was clean. Then I cleaned stamp with absorber. Look at what came off my stamp. Then look at how much better my second stamping turned out. It makes me sad my stamps weren't getting clean enough, but now I'm happy to have learned something. And isn't that Caribbean blue lovely?! #absorber #laurafadorarocks #stampcleaner #stamptools #simonsaysstamp #littlebugstudio

junglebarrya: Hubbie has been using them for years for the cars. He would have killed me if I sliced a chunk off of one, hehe, so I had to get one for myself. ๐๐
yolierita: Now I have to go get me one. Thanks for the tip!
rcwidow: I just recently got one of those also. Like it so far.
stampin_style: I got a similar chamois, wet it n put it in a container like Kristina Werner does (which is wherr i learnt this trick from) but mine ended up in the bin coz it wen a little mouldy๐๐ซ
traciepond: @stampin_style that is what my first one did and it left a bunch of fuzz on my stamps. I decided to give it another try because there are so many positive words about it. Maybe I got the wrong thing the 1st time around. This one I cut just a small corner off, the rest is in the freezer.
stampin_style: I did exactly what k werner does n even stored it in the exact same container so I don't know why it went mouldy. Can Anyone shed some light on what might help me
traciepond: @stampin_style I'm going to try storing mine in the refrigerator or freezer when I'm not using it. I will let you know how it goes.
ralucavezeteu: Awesome tip, @traciepond. Now to try to find it in my countryโบ @andreeadiycraftyscraps ai vreo idee ce e aia aici, in Ro? Laveta normala de spalat vase?

lizstamps_15: Fabulous!
sandineumann: Very cool!
eamidgett: Very pretty!! I really like the color combo.
cardcrazycreations: I agree with @sheenajoyn it takes lots of creativity to get the right colours and ideas together to make pretty cards. It's not as easy as it looks. Your creations are colourful and pretty ๐๐๐I find stamping hard I feel less confident with stamping and colouring then any other technique. I have lots to learn in this area. X @traciepond
ellenhutsonllc: So fun!
traciepond: Thanks so much @paper_pajamas @lizstamps_15 @sandineumann @eamidgett @ellenhutsonllc ๐ป
traciepond: That means a lot to me @cardcrazycreations ๐ Keep playing with colors. In my mind there are no right or wrong colors to put together. What matters is that you enjoy them. So, I just use colors that make me happy.
cardcrazycreations: Very true that's the best thing about crafting there is no wrong way to do things it's just your own way lol your own creativity just happens it's all good fun you have along the way xxx @traciepond
As #essentialsbyellen says, "have a beautiful day". I truly enjoyed playing with #mftstamps #watercolorflowers. #wplus9 #stamping #handmadecards #littlebugstudio

I can't get enough of these painted flowers by @altenewllc. I'm playing with color combos. Instead of black for the outline I used blueberry. What do you think? #altenew #paintedflowers #mftstamps (#dienamics, premium dye ink, background stamp & cardstock) #handmadecards #stamping #littlebugstudio
